I can’t stop laughing

My kids have been publishing a "family newspaper" with headlines like "Mom's Dinner: Pretty Good!!" etc and it's been very cute, but their latest issue is a searing expose on my five digit polymarket losses and it's dark, folks. I don't see a path back from this one. There might be only one option.

I don't have anyone to go home to!

Eat my dust, loser! I'm Biddy Blas!

Everyone has already fallen in love with the bizarro charms of Biddy Blas saying "scrib dooooooon," but "ding dong bookee, ding dooooooong" is an underrated vocal stim that has entered my brain this week

Today's newsletter is a love letter to the freak show that is the cast of Star Wars: Galactic Racer, a fascinating foil to the Glup Shitto ideal already explored this year in Zero Company

In the 1999 audio drama adaptation of 'Crackers In Space' Gromit is given a Canine Communication Unit which let him express himself with sound effects. It was a much less transphobic choice archive.org/details/crac...

Gromit finally gets a voice … and it’s Martin Freeman

Source is Blindboy Boatclub, who had one of the best media interviews I've ever read recently. I suggest reading the whole thing if you can find it!

Lookit. Deep down every Irish person wants to spin some yank a yarn that gets cited as fact in some factual text. We told an Irish American girl that when the Muppets was released in Ireland, Kermit the Frog was called Dermot the Frog because Cromwell’s son was a Kermit.

Happy 77th birthday to Sigourney Weaver! 🎂 #SigourneyWeaver #Alien

You probably think this is a touch of hyperbole. If you do, that just tells me not only are you not paying attention, you are actively ignoring all the trans people this has happened to. This is life in the UK as a trans person in 2026.

Now it's gone way beyond that - if I use a female toilet in the workplace I risk being drawn into a public facing employment tribunal, where I'll be hounded by the press have people on the BBC payroll call me a rapist, and have a billionaire lawsuit funded against me that I will lose

Animation Obsessive@ani-obsessive.bsky.social · last wk.

Nick Park spent the '80s making A Grand Day Out mostly alone. It was a school project that got out of hand -- he wanted to quit many times. But Park stuck with it and fulfilled his dream of bringing a cinematic feel to stop motion. We explore: animationobsessive.substack.com/p/wallace-an...

If you go up to the box office and say "one adult for the movie where the whale eats a guy, please" they have to give it to you. There's no law that says you have to say Whalefall or whatever it's called.

genuinely so embarrassing that so many mod creators think that gen AI images make their mods look better or more professional when all it does is make me immediately ignore the mod and assume that it was probably coded terribly too
