Moments of outstanding brightness followed by periods of quiet contemplation / anxiety / dullness. If you're a bigot, nazi or general shitehawk of a human being you will be blocked. Otherwise let's see what's out there. Also remember fix your heart or die.
Maybe we could reduce the problem of overcrowded prisons by not sending people to jail for things like throwing soup at paintings.
put these fuckin’ guys in jail. Also, check their hard drives.
Oxford Clarion@oxfordclarion.bsky.social · yesterdayLeaders of flag-raising group Raise the Colours Oxfordshire placed trackers on highway workers’ cars to find out their home addresses, the High Court has heard. RTC then attempted to intimidate the highway staff into no longer removing flags by repeating their addresses to them.
There is industrial unrest at the WC Boggs bathroom factory, a power-hungry union rep who calls constant strikes calls another one, there’s a love triangle, and a race-predicting budgie. All the people who work in the factory are sharks, as are there relatives. The budgie is just a budgie.

Shot for shot remake of the first Jaws, but in black and white, directed by Gus Van Sant.

Idea for Jaws sequel
Simon@ellisuk.com · 2y agoSo after nearly 50 years on the planet I discover that Lalo Schifrin did a version of the Theme to Jaws. Once you hear it I'm sure you'll agree that it changes the whole film and it becomes a 1970's Cop Film. With that in mind is my fever dream idea for the trailer 1/ youtu.be/LKx15uDqtd4?...
Well based on Lalo Schifrin’s cover of the jaws theme we need detective jaws as I suggested a few years ago: bsky.app/profile/elli...

More people thats its ok to speak ill of who are dead: Adolf Hitler Benito Mussolini Saddam Hussein Oswald Mosley Stalin Jimmy Saville Cyril Smith Margaret Thatcher Ronald Reagan Winston Churchill They all did some pretty terrible evil shitty things that in some cases took years to hurt people.
Oh man. I'd completely forgotten about the BBC2W Ivor The Engine promos. All new, with Oliver Postgate and Anthony Jackson returning. They're up there with the Palin-voiced Clangers series in terms of bringing something back and it being just *right*. Here's one.

You can still buy Prime Minister You Wanted to See Me?, and it seems you can now buy it for a tenner. Ian and I are very proud of it. It is an enormous book though and you may have to move house as a result. www.tvbrain.info/shop/books/p...

A lot of people today talking about an awful person who died but i want to make everyone aware of a good person who died: Northern Irish comedian Jimmy Cricket, who you should all look up if you don’t know. 10/10 all around wife guy, dad, granddad, and just a generally solid person
look, if fear of having everyone on the internet celebrate your death by bringing up every bad thing you’ve done is what it takes to stop people being cunts while they’re alive, i say let’s give it a go
Once again I find myself pointing to Paul Eddington for how to be remembered.
Christopher Hitchens said of Jerry Falwell: “If you gave him an enema, he could be buried in a matchbox.” So anyway, Rod Liddle is dead.
RIP Jimmy Cricket. A life well spent, pouring daftness and joy into the world.
Some great new reaction images to use when people are obtuse on BlueSky.
Psst.. anyone wanna buy a book? Anything you like. Hardbacks, paperbacks. I can even get hold of some of that spiral bound stuff, if that's what you're into. No questions asked. Discreet delivery. Nobody will know. Email biggreenbooks@gmail.com for some hot book buying action.
Once again Turk Thrust II is mistaken for Roger Moore.

Trying to explain to my Mother in Law that no it’s not a Midland Red bus outside because: a) We’re in Surrey. b) It’s actually a red awning combined with red roadworks barriers.
No. This is a film for serious adults (i.e. doctors, lawyers, engineers).
