We've just received @0tralala.bsky.social's manuscript for Written by Terrance Dicks, the first authorised biogrography of the longtime Doctor Who writer and script editor… and it's brilliant. Look out for updates on the book in the coming months.

As a Bluesky bonus as I didn't include them in the post, but these are some of the ads from the 1990s I mention that were done by a fossil fuel funded front group called "Informed Citizens for the Environment".

Honestly, I'd just be happy if this finally gets it into people's brains that cartoons can be for adults without being gross-out, "Fritz the Cat" style ones. There's a place for that, of course, but the Anglosphere has a weird blind-spot for this that you don't see in France or (naturally) Japan.
DiscussingFilm@discussingfilm.net · 2d ago‘COYOTE VS. ACME’ is finally playing in theaters! • Warner Bros. tried to permanently delete the film for a tax write-off 3 years ago. • It is now the highest-rated Looney Tunes movie ever. Read our review: bit.ly/CoyoteDF
Struggling to work out why Jenrick would single out these three Commonwealth countries rather than, say, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, whose citizens have exactly the same rights. It’s a head-scratcher.
David Zaslav, who was 28 years old when Who Framed Roger Rabbit? came out and made a huge amount of money, looked at this movie and went 'I don't get it. How could we market this?' Staggering.

London was one of the Conservatives' best* regions in the 2026 local elections, and Cleverly absolutely could win it, but...shouldn't need to step down (essentially to be able to disavow bits of the national platform, let's be clear) in order to maximise chances of winning! *Relatively speaking!
Peter Walker@peterwalker99.bsky.social · yesterdayYes, London mayor is a big job, but with the return of supplementary vote, winning as a Tory is even harder, so this doesn’t exactly scream confidence in Kemi Badenoch’s chances of winning the next election.
Jolene actually result of misunderstanding: husband is thinking about Roman empire and muttered 'Julian' in his sleep one time.
Vick Russo@vickrusso.bsky.social · 2d agoThere's no indication in the lyrics that her husband is planning to cheat at all. He said her name in his sleep once and the singer is now freaking out. Jolene is supernaturally beautiful so you can't really blame the guy for having one singular weird dream about her. bsky.app/profile/denn...
you may wonder "can Coyote V Acme really live up to the hype" AND IT CAN, bloody hell it can!
Interesting stuff, but especially the bit on 'if you're writing a psychologically nasty noir, cover & blurbs need to make it look like cosy crime' which makes me remember learning a film with Danny Dyer got a very different DVD cover when he hit big:

I do wish any of these pieces that criticise tax rises in favour of "welfare reform," would engage in the 16 year long experiment in welfare reform that has culminated in marginal savings and an increase (until recently) in child poverty. Truly, a mugs game. www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...
