The bay and the RNLI lifeboat station looking very picturesque in the snow this morning.

The bay and the RNLI lifeboat station looking very picturesque in the snow this morning.

Sometimes the snow isn’t all that bad when you’re an adult.

Everything going well.

“So why do you have so many different books just telling you how to be an elf or something?” is a question I’m finding hard to justifiably answer.

We did it, guys

When they get you a book nook but your shelves look like this…

If you need me I will currently be getting lost in the Northumberland moors.

Complaint tablet to Ea-nāṣir begs to differ.

Happy to confirm the whole cinema erupted when this happened.

Was worried that I was gonna be that one weird guy who goes to the cinema alone to see this, but it turned out half the people around me were also just awkward-looking middle-aged guys there by themselves!

Let’s goooooo!!!

Shoutout to Channel 5 for showing a proper holiday flick today - 1981’s Clash of the Titans, which had the kids absolutely enthralled.

That Lego has supplanted Funko Pops is not a conversation a lot of you seem ready to have.

All right, we got Tiny Tims, we got hot Tims, cold Tims, we got wet Tims, we got smelly Tims, we got hairy Tims, bloody Tims, we got snappin' Tims, we got silk Tims, velvet Tims, Naugahyde Tims, we even got horse Tims, dog Tims, chicken Tims! Come on, you want Tims, come on in, Tim lovers!

Waiting for the inevitable email that comes out from the Epstein files which is basically Andrew saying he is a massive paedo in no uncertain terms whatsoever and still the BBC will add “The emails do not indicate any wrongdoing”.

When they ask if you’ve put the Christmas tree “up”…

I’m here to report that Zootropolis 2 actually raises more questions about whether the bunny and the fox are fucking or not than it answers.

These just might be my two favourite pictures of the year!

Wait, wait, wait. You’re telling me Andrew Tate got utterly pummelled this weekend too?

The only thing better than this moment is the punch which follows it.

You know I keep that thang on me #artsky

It’s the feelgood Christmas story we all needed

You pull an awkward smile and wave, like you’ve made a common little faux pas, but you won’t meet my eyes because we both know if I’d actually stepped out onto the zebra crossing you’d decided to ignore there’s a good chance the unnecessarily large SUV you’re driving would’ve killed me.

Don’t think I’ve ever hit a preorder button as fast as this before.

Xbox constantly harassing me with emails to verify myself otherwise I won’t be able to use any of their social features and I’m just like:

"ALL HAIL THE HUNTER."

I was so viscerally terrified the first time I witnessed this scene that I can tell you with absolute clarity that it was Boxing Day 1993 and 7-year-old me was happily building this particular Lego kit whilst my parents had switched on BBC One so I could enjoy a Superman movie while I played.

Phrenology but it’s predicting mental traits based on your colleagues’ profile pictures on Teams.

20s to 40s scifi: "The Amazing Men from Venus!" 50s to 70s scifi: "Go and Sing Your Sorrow To The Stars" Modern scifi: "The Interregnum Empire Chronicles Book 6: Revenge on Centauri" (cover is an AI generated chad holding a gun and wearing artstation core tacticool armor)

"La Matriarca" (Unknown, 1509) Discovered in a private collection in 1944, this piece was quietly acquired by the Vatican and has never been displayed (or acknowledged). Accompanying notes state "La Gorgone di Torino" as "a possible title she had me reconsider, so I obliged."

There’s one week to go until the birth of our lord and saviour, Secret Passages issue 3. It’s amazing to see every putting up their decorations but I can’t help but feel that the true meaning of the day has been forgotten: backing the #Kickstarter campaign. www.kickstarter.com/projects/jdh...

On a call today a manager of the senior leadership team asked for the best prompts to use to manage their inbox and all I could think was “My brother in Christ, you’re paid around 70 fucking grand and you can’t handle a few emails now without AI?”

So cool that most of my favourite local businesses have a lifespan of about 6-18 months because landlords are greedy scumbags who would make even the worst parasites go “That’s a bit much, mate”.

Just picked up a ticket to see Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord of the Rings at the Tyneside Cinema to beat that post-Christmas comedown. And to see that bit where Gandalf flicks his fingers in Sam’s face on the big screen.

people are ‘painting’ minis with ai now… it’s depressing & they answer comments like it’s some kinda ‘skill’. they used to actually paint but now just churn this out for likes? many people won’t realise & will just assume that the person painted it, cos why wouldn’t you? be careful out there 💕

What’s that, another Warhammer hobby YouTuber turns out to be an utter prick?

Will never not repost a picture of Debbie Harry.

Illusionist. Random for fun monster/ character design

Flicking through the channels last night and caught that scene in The Holiday where Cameron Diaz’s character chooses to stay in Surrey. For a brief moment her cursor passes over Sunderland and I can’t help but feel how different and more entertaining a movie it would have been had she chosen there.

Try all you want but you’ll never be able to replicate exactly how you felt the first time you heard Jonathan Davis start scatting halfway through a Korn song.

Perfect screenshot. Worf as a focal point is already killer, then your eyes travel to Data in the friar haircut and you think "this can't possibly get any better," and then there's the finishing blow of Geordi in his space visor plucking a lute

I often think long and hard about the fact that I can’t raise one eyebrow probably saved me from becoming an insufferable cunt.
