If you had to name your 4 favourite films on the spot, which would you choose? (as always, this could change rapidly in the next half hour).

This is 2020s Edinburgh: hollow out local cultural amenities, build more unaffordable accommodation. And often the accommodation doesn't end up getting built (looking at you the original Pitt Street site of The Pitt, and the Ferry Road Zero Waste Scotland shop, for example).

When you fly to New York, to watch TPM on opening night, and you spend an entire episode of your TV show slagging it off.... it was there.

This is objectively, verifiably untrue.

Can you imagine the great big Gilgamesh-esque novel if Vin Scully was taking us through 47 innings... " I remember there was a time when I once saw an elf at shortstop - 3 and 1 on the curve - And she had hair, spun of pure gold mind you, glinting in the sunrise..." #mlb #brewers #rays #worldseries

My latest podcast ep recreates the Angels @ Yankees radio broadcast from Sept. 1962; it's always fun to make my audio sound 'bad' for the full AM experience. Find all your baseball history / Americana / Sportsball / ASMR in one download from the usual sources (links at podnews.net/podcast/iaq9r ).

Classic Baseball Radio@classicbaseball.bsky.social · 6d ago

The LA Angels, in their sophomore year after expansion, are third in the American League, 3.5 games behind the New York Yankees. Can the dynasty continue, or will the upstarts get the upper hand? Listen to the final Angels/Yankees match-up of the 1962 season on the Classic Baseball Radio podcast.

Sometimes Kelda goes to sleep, sometimes she find a nice spot, sometimes she just, err, pours herself over the back of a couch??

There's some great pun potential here, have at it, interwebs!

Oh #SNLUK, you had me at the sight of Emma Sidi playing Steve Rotheram, and nobody's said a word yet.

This looks delightful.

This 19th c lady’s multitool was found in the pocket(!) of an antique (1872) garment donated to the historic clothing archive at my employer. It features a button hook for fitted gloves and a tiny corkscrew. The corkscrew is too small for wine & was probably intended to open apothecary bottles.

Well airbrush my Pride flags and call it policy, it's time for the sparkly dance show! #Strictly #SCD

With all the talk of 'prep' in the UK today, I'll hand over to @oceanbound.bsky.social for the "what would be practical" beyond the 'some food and some water' that's across the mainstream media.

Alright so starting my thread on our home emergency kit. A few things as I get going- 1) we are a two person three dog no kids household. 2) no kit is one sized fits all you might not need some of what we have, you might need things we don’t have. X/🧵

I'm sure that coverage over "Thomas" will be at the same level as "Andrew", yes?

70 percent of the internet was vulnerable yesterday to very bad security flaws inside a coding language. Turns out, *one volunteer* is mostly responsible for maintaining that code & helping push updates. Yesterday Ondřej Surý saved the internet. So I called him up www.theatlantic.com/technology/2...

Coming soon, a short lesson on Most Favoured Nation clauses used by Amazon... which are calculated on the gross not the net.

In a world of agentic AI and so-called highly tailored, curated feeds, why am I still on high alert, manually sifting subscriptions for spoilers? An old fashioned blog post on staying spoiler-free for five weeks before the UK release of "You Can See Everything" ewanspence.co.uk/blog/2026/10...

Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead For Tax Purposes

Imagine if Allo Allo *thought* it was a serious drama trying to recreate the power of Secret Army. Now consider #TheDiplomat, which thinks it is a serious drama trying to recreate the West Wing. Gotta say, The Cracked Russian Submarine With The Big Bazooka is no Fallen Madonna With The Big Boobies.

Read this. This is the direct impact of the BBC's decision to censor "Protect The Dolls" on Strictly. @ariadnemaze.bsky.social is writing for tens of thousands, their families, their friends and society as a whole. It fucking hurts.

"You Can See Everything," US release Oct 16, UK release Nov 20. That's a *loooooong* wait this side of the pond, and 34 days trying to avoid spoilers, etc, could be tough. www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGJS...
