If Bluesky has done nothing else today (and it hasn't), it made me buy the A TOUCH OF CLOTH box set off the internet (sorry that people who worked on it don't get any money out of that like).

When we made A Touch of Cloth, the stars both worried it meant their careers as TV detectives were over. Surely nobody would hire them to do it seriously. They reckoned without the need for television to keep making that same show again and again almost to the exclusion of everything else. S’fine.

Just seen someone criticise a horror a film and get a reply within minutes bringing the subject around to US politics. I might actually pay for a social media platform where all politics talk is immediately banned.

The more I think about it, the more SPIDER-MAN: BND feels like the best MCU film in ages, mostly because it feels like an actual film and not just a bit of fan servicey content. Definitely has character arcs and stuff to say about moving into young adulthood.

Tried signing up to Apple TV, couldn't get it to work on my Xbox (where I watch all of my telly), tried to reset my password but the Turing code thing was unreadable, then stopped showing up on screen, so I couldn't. And cancel. Good job it was a free trial.

Still getting people whining about THE ODYSSEY in the timeline, despite my muting game and the fact that it's been out for several weeks now. It's not even top of the box office any more lads! Its cultural moment has passed! It can't hurt you any more!

The Rod Liddle biography suggests a certain post-1968 'type' who was just idiotically drawn to norm-breaching, moving via adolescent rebellion, punk, revolutionary socialism, and eventually ending up at racism, because by the 21st century that was the most efficient transgression still on offer

Wow, The Media Terves And Sensible Opinionist Set seem VERY touchy about us orrible oiks repeatedly mentioning that their dead bestie Rod Liddle beat his pregnant girlfriend and wrote repeatedly about wanting to view CSAM and rape children just bc it's true, we should probably all stop saying that

Spend no more days under clouds of your dilemma and vote for Super Furry Animals! Still the best song in the poll and probably their best chance to reach Polhalla!

look, if fear of having everyone on the internet celebrate your death by bringing up every bad thing you’ve done is what it takes to stop people being cunts while they’re alive, i say let’s give it a go
