Before I was diagnosed with colitis, I told a GP I was having to run to the toilet on a hourly basis. She asked, "Have you tried not going?"
Heather Hill@rollin-academic.bsky.social · last wk.A question from Reddit that I'll answer here: "What's the most unhinged thing a doctor has said to you with a straight face?"
Nina Simone's take on The Bee Gee's 'To Love Somebody' is the greatest cover version of all time, made even more astonishing by the fact that she just throws it away.

Nanoraptor@nanoraptor.danamania.com · 3w agoYou suddenly get a narrator describing your life and there’s no way to turn it off - everyone can hear it. While shopping, at work, at home, with friends - the voice narrating your every move goes on. Who do you hope is the voice of this narrator?
"Looks like some sort of opening ceremony for a major sporting event" *sniffs the air* "Early 21st Century, probably" *takes another sniff* "Hmm - mid 2020s maybe. What do you think Camilla? "Everyone is looking at us" "Better give them a wave, then, show we're friendly"

Maximum Power: A Blake’s 7 Podcast@maximumpowerpodcast.com · 2mo agoWe've redecorated here at Maximum Power, and to celebrate we've introduced the Blake's 7 Title Card Generator. Wow your social media followers with a searingly topical title card inspired by a 48-year-old television programme. #Blakes7 maximumpowerpodcast.com/title-card/
Being a father is hard work and often exhausting. However, I do not expect anything in return, and nor should I. So, you can imagine how overwhelmed I felt when the 11yo presented me with this hand made card today. The awe and respect they hold me in makes it all the sacrifices worthwhile.
Christmas 1987. I thought we'd have to take it back to the rental shop after Boxing Day.
Matinee Mode@matineemode.bsky.social · 2mo agoThe first movie I ever owned on VHS was the original E.T. video release with the green spine. I received it for Christmas in 1988. What was the first movie you owned on physical media?
Me on hearing RTD had not even written a script for the not happening Doctor Who Christmas special

Had to say goodbye SpiderCat today. It was very sudden, but she had a good 17 years. She spent her last day on Earth sunbathing in the garden, eating grass, complaining about the food in her bowls and living her best life.
Same for public libraries innit. "Dear Sir, thank you for kind offer of a 1973 edition of Encyclopædia Britannica. Sadly, we we can not accept this donation, and not just because volume IV is missing, etc... "
Ian Kikuchi@curatorian.bsky.social · 3mo agoThis story, insofar as it deals with the National Railway Museum, is utterly absurd. If you rock up to a museum event expecting to dump a load of stuff on the staff, and are then surprised to be politely refused, then you clearly have no idea what museums are for. www.cityam.com/a-state-of-t...
Re: Strictly. Could have been Barrowman's. Remember chaps, never get it out in public, or indeed at all - even if you're explicitly asked to do so.
