How exactly is David Attenborough's birthday on Friday not a national holiday?

Very excited to be in #Hugos season with @silberwhatever.com and Tessa!!! (Short form still suuuuuuuuuuucks)

This. Blown away.

Some of the small spot illustrations by Eric Fraser that accompanied the Radio Times magazine’s weekly listings for the BBC’s 1981 radio adaptation of Tolkein’s “The Lord Of The Rings”.

Part of this was the fucked up marketing, but Starfleet Academy was mainstream sci-fi that was legitimately in conversation with Andor in terms of how we engage with fascism and tragedy and 'human' weakness and crucially how we move beyond it. Looking forward to S2.

I very much love the Hugos having a poetry category and look forward to this year's nominees!

Post four fictional characters you relate to and let people assume things about you

Andor was the show we need for now, Starfleet Academy is the show we need for the future. I'm blown away at how much this show exceeded my expectations.

The trifecta

Singing: 'Redemption arc in a fouuuund familyyyyyy!'

Hugo Pre-Show! Tessa, @silberwhatever.com and @lozymandias.bsky.social discuss their favourite media of last year ahead of this year's nominations: asimovcast.podbean.com/e/asimovcast...

Sense8 Revolutions youtu.be/7fyufPkXLbs?...

Kieron Gillen is the most incredible comics creator because everytime I read something from him I think 'this is the most Kieron Gillen shit ever' and then I read a new thing by him and it immediately supplants it as the new 'most Kieron Gillen shit ever'. (Complimentary)

lol, AWS vibe coded itself an outage www.ft.com/content/00c2...

LOLing at that dude who created 4 hours of frothing, hagiographic YouTube videos about how Richard 'Stealing A Living' Wigglesworth has created the most sophisticated attacking system in world rugby

What is your ideal #taskmaster x #muppets crossover?

It's superb

You may laugh, but the Macbeths are a much better role model for a marriage than Romeo and Juliet. They discuss their problems (killing the king of Scotland), share their hobbies (killing the king of Scotland), and resolve their conflicts (by killing the king of Scotland).

I do think without Holly Hunter Starfleet Academy might still not work, but it genuinely loves Star Trek in exactly the same but exactly a different way as Lower Decks. I was legit emotional watching the DS9 episode seeing Star Trek TV show such reverence for such an important part of my life.

HBD @silberwhatever.com !!

Repost with a photo of yours that would make a good album cover

Well these are correct

Erebor, famously safe from burglars

So, Starfleet Academy, I love Captain Holly Hunter, against my initial instincts I love these kids. Equally everytime the EMH is on screen I roll my eyes and when that fucking needle drop happened I wanted to punch the TV.

The Defenders (2017) posits the question 'what if everyone in the team was a Himbo?'

"Boy Aquarium" to the tune of "Young Americans"

Whelp. This hit me hard.

This isn't my favorite, but it IS the last one I searched for.

As I have a five hour train journey, it must be time to fulfil my destiny and cast every Taskmaster contestant as an X-Man #taskmaster #xmen This has been done scientifically and is proven.

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025 no matter how small • Sailed from Iceland to Scotland * Also finished our True Blood rewatch podcast @fangbangerzpod.bsky.social * Completed my third 365 project * 6 trips to Warsaw and hired 50 new people * All time spent with family and friends

Finishing off Magic!

The #1 movie when you were 10 years old is how your 2026 is going to go.

Fantastic thread about the excellent 'Wake Up, Dead Man'

Everyone talks about John Peel and Teenage Kicks, as well they should. I Bet That You Look Good On The Dance Floor should have the same mystic reverence.

Ahhhhh! We finished it!

While George Clooney in From Dusk Til Dawn was my bisexual awakening, my genre faves of Legolas and Julian Bashir should really have given some of that away...

We just recorded the finale. 😭

I truly love watching Hot! Morons! Getting! Better! on Too Hot To Handle with @chickentendi.bsky.social

There's something truly wonderful about the fact that I can watch Chile Rugby in prime time on a top tier sports channel

Pourquoi pas?

Yay. Priceless. The right column at the right time. And a gleefully English two fingers to the haters.

This is so fucking cool

Atropos: This porridge is too cold. Lachesis: This porridge is too hot. Clotho: This porridge is just right.

BASHIR AAAAAA #StarTrek #StarTrekDS9

Ortiz was absolutely loving this sitting between AROD and Jeter

We've started recording Season 7. Cannot believe the end is almost here. 🥲
