Having lived through recebt experiments in Government by Blithering Chancer, by Ideological Maniac and by Absentee Landlord, I must confess to also not enjoying Government by Fucking Cowards.

I know there’re bigger things happening right now, but holy moo that #Taskmaster finalé was tight! Still processing. No probs with who won it or how, but I’m gutted for those who lost by the skin of their teeth.

I made a movie on my own because Hollywood wouldn't. It's in podcast form but still...we MADE it :D Check it out at tallisproductions.bandcamp.com. LOTS OF SWEARS BE WARNED ITS FILTHY! Thanks for supporting my indie content <3

It’s a biggie tonight. The grand final of Series 20 and it couldn’t be closer. Tune in to Channel 4 at 9pm to see who wins Greg’s glorious golden head.

A great thread. Here for it all the way.

Started watching MURDERBOT and now I don't wanna go to work, I just want to watch MURDERBOT, which is pretty much the plot of MURDERBOT.

Brother Gregor never spoke and often spooked the neophytes with his appearance, but he was a gentle soul and a phenomenal cook and knew more ways to prepare a fish than the abbot knew hymns

I’m putting him to the side for a few days while I work on some other things that need to be finished up, but I’ll get back to him soon. WIP. Detail. Prismacolor Verithin pencil. (Dark umber and dark brown) Over watercolor wash on Canson paper. #Frankenstein #Illustration #drawing

As a seasoned professional in my industry I could see this coming from a mile, when interviewing candidates here in UK. No critical thinking, just obsessions with exams results, often composed solely of multiple choice questions. So bad for the student, really appalling education

It’s bigger than you think.

‘Nickname’ is not ‘nick’ + ‘name.’ It was originally ‘ekename.’ ‘Eke’ was the Middle English word for “also” or “in addition.” Since ‘ekename’ began with a vowel, people used ‘an’ before it. Over time, 'an ekename' became 'a nickname.'

I recently deleted a chunk of muted words and phrases and goodness me, that was a mistake. My feed was *unbearable* for a minute there. Anyway, regular reminder that mute is really good here and you can, and should, mute anything and everything that’s upsetting you. There’s no shame.

Okay, time for a much-requested thing: a THREAD OF THREADS. I've now written dozens of these sciencey threads now, and it's increasingly easy to lose them in the scrum of new stuff on here, so - here's a roundup. First: the mystery of the BONG BONG BONG: bsky.app/profile/mike... 1/

Even more reason to keep this institution from succumbing to a decade's long attack from the right wing whose strategy is to create an environment where the rest of us hate it enough to accept its demise - the exact same playbook used against the NHS Ruin it when in power and attack relentlessly

So much is code. The Right want to destroy the BBC because they can’t stand even a tiny licence fee level of tax or people getting a service for basically free. The Tories salami-sliced the funding over years so they could cause collapse without getting the blame for Strictly going off the air.

Look, fine, *I'll* run the BBC. 15 eps a year of Doctor Who, another 30 eps of Saturday night action/fantasy family shows. Twenty new dramas from writers who aren't The Usual Suspects. Opera or Shakespeare on BBC4 every Sunday night. All participants on Escape to The Country to be fed to zombies.

Justin always does great work but this piece about how the new Predator movies are all about one theme is very, very cool. gizmodo.com/what-is-dan-...

I’m perplexed to find myself quite enjoying Eoin Colfer’s take on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy. (Book 6 in the trilogy.) I’m not laughing out loud the way I did with Adams’ originals (because I’m a jaded old man now), but I’m stunned at how well Colfer’s captured his style, vibe, wit & pace.

Lovelies, if your Sunday needs a cosy, nerdy chat about Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood, then the latest episode of Starship Alexandria can help! starshipalexandria.com/episode-8-my... Also features @aptshadow.bsky.social mentioning insects and me NOT mentioning ST:TNG (shocking, I know!)

Actually, I made a few mosaic novels/anthologies on the same model. This was another one: shop.rebellion.com/products/aba...

Vincent Price is the officially-unofficial patron of Abertoir and his daughter Victoria returns for our 20th! She'll be talking about her father’s golden age of horror alongside author Peter Fuller; & both are joined by John L. Probert for a live commentary screening of Theatre of Blood!

I've been thinking a lot about Red Riding Hood, menopause, the 3 women and the wolf recently. I won't put all my thought about here - I already made Cy listen to them. But I did paint "The Wolf Who Cried Girl" about it.

Bookmark this. It’s a great central point from which to start investigating your neurodiversity. Pick your own pathway and very much take it at your own pace.

“The fact the media was discussing the lies, and offering balancing statements, gave them credence in the eyes of many of those the Far Right was looking to manipulate.”
