He/Him. I wrote the Sad Space Nan story for Big Finish that one time: https://tinyurl.com/WorldTreeBF
I try to live my life in a way that, when I die, people won't rush to Bluesky to say, 'Well, if you can't say something nice about someone...' I COULD say something nice about Rod Liddle, but then again my job is making things up for money, so that's a low fuckin' bar.
If trans kids can't play team sports, it should be the way God intended: because they're big fuckin' nerds who would prefer to be indoors playing D&D, and not because there's systemic bias against their very existence.
I know that I'm not really the most well-versed in her career, but I do enjoy that Shakira seems to be powered almost entirely by World Cups and Zootopias.
A lot of people point to the Car Pope as being indicative of a Car Jesus, but Cars 2 features TSA checks, which suggests a dramatic ramping-up of airport security -- the kind you'd expect after a significant and deadly terror attack on the Cars universe. A Porsche 9/11, if you will.
'We're not going ahead with the Christmas special' should be the end of any discussion about whether the ending of The Reality War was a good idea.

A lot of the focus on Anthony Head's death in my feed has been from Who people, understandably, but I'd like to throw in for potentially his best and smarmiest role: Rupert in Ted Lasso. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S16... For such an evidently nice guy, he really could play a magnificent shit.

Starting work on a historical fiction novel is basically just making a bet with yourself that Robert Harris won't beat you to it.
My girlfriend: Romania sounds like they're going to be halfway between Avril Lavigne and Billie Eilish. Me: not listening to the song because I've got the phrase 'Bovril Lavash' stuck in my head. My girlfriend: 😠
Having just finished it for the first time, I 100% slept on Gravity Falls, and that's my bad. I am convinced that if this show had existed in my formative years it would have changed something deep in how my brain works. Absolute 10/10, no notes.

Civic duty done. Time to get out my favourite polling day pic.
Not even the costume. Just Brian Blessed, hollowed out like an Iron Man suit.

It would be the first time in a long time that Rudy Giuliani has been described as 'stable'.

Just knowing that Jared Leto is in this makes me less excited for it, and it didn't look great to begin with. He's the AI of actors. Knowing it's part of a film's creative output makes me doubt every decision the filmmakers made, except Claude has never been credibly linked to a weird sex cult.

I'm watching the last minutes of the Artemis II landing on YouTube, and the top recommendation in my algorithm is footage of the Challenger disaster, which is... not really the vibe, thanks?
'In other news, man standing next to fire claims to have just been out walking his matchbook.' Jesus Christ, BBC.
Whole-ass movie series about why this is a bad idea.
My girlfriend and I went visit to my home town yesterday, and I completely forgot it was Easter Saturday (with its accompanying annual weirdness) until we saw two of the Coconutters crossing the road. Getting jumpscared by a Morris dancer in blackface was not the least stressful start to her trip.
I posted this for Superman back in 2024 and I can't believe I missed the plot summary by one whole film.
Nick Slawicz@ellingtonelms.bsky.social · 2y agoEveryone's excited about #Krypto now, but it's going to be a whole different story when it becomes Kryptonite Marley & Me in the third act.
I've been watching a bunch of old musicals recently, and my one takeaway is that -- without exception -- this dream ballet could have been an email.
To all my trans brothers and sisters: Looking fly, 10/10, no notes. You should be visible more often.
Why would I possibly care about social issues when I can just focus on what it would be like to grow vegetables in my own faeces? This is not a post about Andy Weir.
