On Mel Brooks' 100th birthday, my favourite Mel Brooks quote: "Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you fall into an open sewer and die"

I'm being told there was another story from one of these eras involving a bus and also a bigot, but Planet Of The Dead would have been a bit obvious, don't you think?

NANCY PELOSI: We must find the next generation of Democratic leadership. Young, charismatic and exciting candidates who can energize the party. People that voters love because they're not 80 years old and sold out to big capital. CHUCK SCHUMER (behind sniper rifle): Found one PELOSI: Take the shot

whether you're bombarded by slop, or losing your job, or acquiring new forms of psychosis, or killing yourself trying to keep up with an endless treadmill of perceived hyperproductivity, the AI future has a flavor of misery for everyone!

certain types of comedy movies don't age well because we all keep growing and movies stay the same. in 1985, gay panic jokes were more widely accepted bcz we were stupider in 1985. we have socially evolved (a little) since then. most of us now understand why those jokes are hurtful.

ITV commentator just said "they say if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere" and cos of @soozuk.bsky.social, I'm only thinking "45 minutes outside of New York, on an 80 dollar bus fare"

Thriller idea: man with world's second smallest penis has to stop him.

It's still really hot out, even the picture quiz has warmed up a bit since the other day - name the Doctor Who stories from these mafting screenshots...

When you hear the Coronation Street theme tune, you and your family must take cover.

IT'S THE BIG ONE! I've always wanted to cover the 30 year war between Ken Barlow and Mike Baldwin on Coronation Street. The alpha dogs of the cobbles. So I did, to the sound of Frankie Goes to Hollywood. Enjoy your day!

my kind of Jubilee, the Japanese national team vs. 100 kids

Thinking about Supergirl as True Grit with capes and if Lobo is only in cos his name doubles for a sci-fi LaBeouf, well that explains a lot and also lol.

(pitching Mr Magoo) He's this old guy who's partially sighted but lacks insight into his disability - he's also showing early signs of dementia - so he's continually at risk of hurting himself & others Exec: & this is for kids? Writer: yeah like my last show the Skunk Who Doesn't Understand Consent

Really enjoyed Supergirl. The incel weirdos can hate it all they want. The worst I'd say is that it's a little rushed and messy in places. But it's fun, big and Milly Alcock is really good in it.

Have to think it's a bad thing just for the poor paying customers who will be subjected to what usually goes on with phones and eye test when these self-important pricks do get multimedia screenings. Keep the Golgafrinchan Ark Ship B screenings, leave the pull-quotes off your posters.

Here it is! The video trailer for Rez High. www.youtube.com/watch?v=_-rl...

Look, Americans, British homes aren't designed with air conditioning in mind. Our architecture values other things: heat retention, space management, trapdoors, automated breakfast-serving mechanisms which can be operated by a literal dog

The superb 2018 Imagine special on Mel Brooks (which is just all the previous Imagine specials edited together like it's Life And Death Of Colonel Blimp) is back on iPlayer and it's extraordinary and obviously really, really funny.

Honestly the heat hasn't got to me at all I'm just vibing in the kitchen procrastinating because it's my turn to do the dishwasher

me: this is my rucksack. I keep all my ruck in it cop: *hand on holster* what does that mean? tell me what the fuck that means character actor Alan Ruck: *muffled* I was in Speed me: that's right, you were in Speed, I always forget that

I have to say, it's making me feel a little insane hearing commentators say Ed Miliband shouldn't be chancellor because of his "ideological zeal" for Net Zero, in a week where temperatures are so extreme that my kids are being sent home early every day and it's regularly 30 degrees inside my house

Finally, we get to see what it would be like if Dwayne Johnson played Beetlejuice. Supergirl is a decent time at the pictures! Mostly.

Looks like I picked the wrong day to open my chunky knitwear and casserole emporium.

The earth is a burned-out husk. The last human, suffocating, dying, whispers: "Eggs do not lay eggs. It was the goose that created value."

Update: everyone is hot.

I thought kick off was later and I’m sad I somehow missed it but that’s a great result for Scotland.

when AI companies go bankrupt

can’t believe a narcissist is being so publicly humiliated by a reflecting pool

Helping out any Doctor Who fans struggling in this heat with a frosty thoughts picture quiz - name the story from each of these cool screenshots.

The Eighth Doctor, facing death and regeneration, offers a final salute to the companions who have helped this incarnation...

Yo, quick question: What is WRONG with you?

Unexpectedly, Live-Action Moana is now my most anticipated release of the year because it marks the point I will never have to see the fucking trailer for Live-Action Moana again.

It's funny that now a certain sector of fandom has caught up with what competitive tendering is, each insist that production companies must demonstrate in their bid that they are capable of delivering what they specifically want, like the nanny wanted song from Mary Poppins.

My strongest memory of Starmer will be his 2024 conference speech, where he said "every child deserves respect", a young activist said "does that include the children of Gaza?", and he laughed and said "he's obviously got a pass to the 2019 conference".

This never happened to the other fella... 👀

There is nowhere far enough for this idea to fuck off. Get the fuck to space with it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I think I hate John Harris to an almost inordinate degree. Guardian journalist. Kept his Britpop haircut about 30 years too long. he’s done more to normalise the idea in centrists that northerners are not only thick bigots, but also that those bigotries must be pandered to.

Oh my God it's happening

Sharing this again for no reason, no reason at all!

So, the credulous big red machine with no direction other than purging has finally purged its own silver-quiffed head. Happy Husbands Of River Song Day everyone!

I cannot express my admiration enough for the Game on display here. This entire press release is a list of tips for how to make your front door last longer.

One point for each correct answer, except the TWATBLAST one, where if you know it without Googling, you can have 20,000 points under the sea.

I hate this shit. The labour party is brimful of decent people. Always, always a false binary with the implication that "only i am righteous, the rest are orcs." A deranged mindset that has resulted an overwhelming number of terror arrests are middle aged women. Dick.

What a waste of two years. That stomping majority and all the things you could have done and he wasted his time kowtowing to the worse cunts in the country.

“I’ve have done all these things for the country that I’m sure everyone agrees have been amazing, and, for that reason, my party have told me I must fuck off with immediate effect.” - Keir Starmer
