Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI
Any MP that shows such a spectacular lack of understanding about what they comment on should be recalled.
This is profoundly upsetting
Watching Masters of the Universe How did they make a film so bad? How? With that cast? It's so bad.
What a great idea. No wonder they hate him. #newyork #mamdani Critics say stores may remove self-checkouts entirely…and rehire humans, brilliant! www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Fauci was caring for patients with AIDS when others wouldn't even touch them. He fought harmful information with facts. He warned about the risk of a pandemic for years. We are in the upside down. A scientist is on trial, but a pedophile, rapist, felon isn’t. I stand with Fauci.
100% Absolutely shameful cowardice from @amnestyuk.bsky.social
@amnesty.org I think you need to help @amnestyuk.bsky.social out of the enormous hole they have dug themselves re: Trans Rights and backing down when menaced by an unelected, unaccountable person with ridiculous money. The libel laws in other countries are less daft than the UK's, after all.
I'm no football fan, but I do love sports of all kinds This is a superb response to the corruption of FIFA. Would that all sports bodies had such character.
This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”
or they can look to other countries to see what has worked there most effectively more recently, sure
We don't always put interior detail in our models, but when we do we like to make sure there's a toilet and a wood burning stove. (From our dwarf lighthouse kit).
the thing about being great stoneworkers is that dwarven graffiti is a whole lot more permanent than soap and water and a good scrub will remove LOADS more fantasy scenery and scatter items in the shop!
Great game as always in SOTWW with @sensiblearchie.eurosky.social @thedicemechanic.bsky.social @xneardark.bsky.social as we are engaged to help a Master Thief in his work, realising he is not so master as claimed, our heroes do their best to over complicate matters, but soon end up in the shit
Just a reminder that the superb 'I, Claudius' begins a repeat run on BBC4 tonight.
I am reminded that Terry Gillingham did The Jabberwocky And it's absolutely fantastic
Please forgive me for this, but while on the loo I spoke it into being and now I can't be unsaid: Zack Snyder's "On the Ning Nang Nong Part I" coming summer 2029.
Every single moment of Season 4 is still worth watching for THAT ENDING (also its still better than almost all of Star Trek ever)
Series 1-3 of Blake's 7 is some of the best and most innovative scifi tv ever made. Astonishing, must-watch stuff. Series 4 is utterly dire and you should definitely not ruin your experience of the show by continuining to watch it beyond the end of series 3.
