Very funny to me that the National Theatre Production of Pride's answer to "how do we make our cast look like Welsh men in the 80s?" Is "make then look like British men in the 70s."

Nice spot. Worthy of the ManBat Everything Is Backwards Universe tweet

My (dance-obsessed) daughter is watching an old episode of Strictly and there’s a guy in the credits called Lincoln Abraham. That’s the name of a fellow who’d go to a gun show and get hit with a theatre.

Taking my time to really listen and learn from the very valid concerns of the MAHA movement:

Hi, I'm being made redundant by the University of Southampton at the end of this month. I'm desperately looking for work. I'll consider all offers but have particular skills in policy, strategy and research. I also have a consultancy service I offer. Please let me know if you hear of anything

Dr. Adbul El-Sayed is an MD, and has a degree from Oxford, and is a Rhodes Scholar.

Absurd and nasty, childish hit piece from the WSJ (e.g., "he's a doctor but not a physician" EXCUSE ME?! He has an MD from Columbia and a degree from Oxford. He is a Rhodes Scholar!) www.wsj.com/politics/fiv...

One of the recent trends in romance fiction has been fewer billionaire male lead characters.

Playboy@playboy.com · yesterday

As they amass more money and power, the public views billionaires as sweaty psychos Scrooge McDucking their way into evil amounts of cash. The collective ick emerging raises a question that wealthy men might prioritize over ethical perceptions: Have billionaires become categorically unfuckable?

Ah here, they hardly “blasted” him.

My daughter is watching Cruella, or as I like to call it, 'The Devil Wears Madra'.

Bond casting speculation is plagued by two of the worst kinds of social media posting: over-earnest centrist wishful thinking (I hope Amazon’s film about a British spy stars a girlboss!) and low effort banter (lol they should cast Matt Lucas). My least favourite click bait.

James Bond producer shares update on 007 casting: ‘It’s got to be really different’

While yes, it's not that THIS is what crosses the line - he claims he didn't expect to win and entered in tribute to his father (aka what's the big deal) but entered under the pseudonym "the enemy" suggesting he knew exactly what he was doing and how it would all go.

Yes, with these poems he has finally crossed the line.

Huw Edwards criticised for entering Welsh poetry competition

You can/should read Emily Wilson's latest take on the Odyssey, but I'm logging on to convey my hairdresser's reaction. She was AGHAST that Nolan, with his million $ budget, gave Matt Damon ONLY 6 hair extensions. As a result, his hair did not blow around properly, & that ruined the film for her.

I complete get separating and targeting single use plastics and aluminium from general recycling bins - but this board seems incredibly biased to business: retailer and polluting producers - without clear strategy on circularity and removing plastics from system. Lack of bios on website is odd.

Don't look now, but the world has now installed 3TW of solar. Took 10 years to get from 100GW to 1TW. Less than 3 years to get to 2TW. Less than 2 years to get to 3TW. Analysts expect *9TW* by 2036.

The World Crossed a Major Solar Milestone. No One Noticed

The next phase of the boom may reveal a shift in who is gaining access to the technology.

People say we're much worse now than we were 20 years ago but about 20 years ago a woman on Big Brother joked around that she was gonna masturbate with a wine bottle and they edited it to make it look like she really had done it even though she hadn't and it sort of ruined her life 👍

Now, I *am* a nobody but @seamas.bsky.social is a bestseller so surely Joanna is just showing herself up here.

I totally assumed MacGyver had been created in-universe by Groening! Love finding out 'wow these things are actually real in US culture' decades after I've watched the Simpsons episode in question. Found out that McGruff The Crime Dog was real this year!

Alan Burns@alanburns.bsky.social · 5mo ago

Amazing how after three decades I can still have these moments of suddenly realising that something *wasn't* created by Matt Groening/some Simpsons writer but already existed, and was either being directly referenced on The Simpsons or, in this case, (very lightly) parodied

I'd probably watch McGarnagle if it was real.

It was only a matter of time before the knives were out for Re-Turn, a project that puts the entire burden of waste management on the consumer and gives businesses no incentive to improve their packaging.

a visitor at work got baking powder/vinegar in her eye & a coworker helped her rinse it out. everything was fine until she chatgpted whether this was dangerous & it told her she was going to go blind. so she demanded to be sent to the hospital where the doctor told her to relax & go home.

I put the wrong bottle in a bin and I've got fines in my letterbox, but I think I could launch it at the moon and I'd be fine.
