That Doctor Who episode where they bring Van Gogh to the future so see how deeply his works have moved people, and then they show him whatever the fuck this is to make sure he still kills himself.

Turns out, enough one-eyed monster jokes will send me down an art history rabbit hole.

Just for a change, I’d really like to see a politician say that education has value other than getting people into jobs.
I love UK politics. Donald Trump would never set up an office above a Slug and Lettuce.
By far the funniest moment in Homer’s Odyssey is when Circe says, “Shall we have sex?” and Odysseus says, “You just turned all my men into pigs. You have the GALL to think I would sleep with you? Of course I will. Absolutely. But don’t do any weird spells”
Saw The Odyssey last night. Loved it. True experiential cinema. When the storm hits the ship, you're in that ship with them. It's almost three hours yet not a moment feels wasted. So good that I never needed to go out for a wee.
The Westminster bubble must be scared that Andy's going to march the Army of the North down to London.
James Ball@jamesrball.com · 2w agoClive Myrie just reassured BBC viewers that this is a "peaceful transfer of power", which I'm sure will come as a relief to everyone.

Can't wait to see the new Christopher Nolan film.
Doctor Who Production News@doctorwhopn.bsky.social · 3w agoThe Nosferatu 2.5 is back as 'Sophie Aldred's Ace Odyssey' returns for Series 2 on July 19.
Absolutely harrowing. We need cis allies to be loud about this. We need you to step up. The government don’t listen to us. The Education Secretary is complicit. Cis allies… get louder. For the sake of everyone get fucking loud.
Cal Horton (they/them)@fiercemum.bsky.social · 3w agoJust had meeting with kiddo's school. She has been fully supported, treated with full equality & dignity for years. All of that changes from September. Full segregation & humiliation across the board. The school staff cried in the meeting. This will absolutely lead to children's deaths 1/2
Yes, good, wipe out the pointless loud explosion industry.
Politics UK@politicsuk.com · 3w ago🚨 NEW: The Government has launched a consultation on fireworks to protect dogs and pets - Limit loud fireworks to professional displays only - Tougher safety rules for lower-risk fireworks - Bans on the most dangerous fireworks
He didn't get to end his tenure as PM by giving us a bank holiday so instead it's a war with Argentina.
Henry Zeffman@hzeffman.bsky.social · 3w agoKeir Starmer's official spokesperson: "The World Cup might not be ours but the Falkland Islands definitely are” Asked who the PM would be supporting in the final, the spokesperson said: “The PM wishes both teams well for the final, especially Spain.”
The Luddites loved technology. They owned looms at home and would ‘mod’ them to count threads. Their battle was against worker exploitation. The degradation of their rights, safety and wages. They were against a handful of rich businessmen owning the means of production. Sound familiar?

Every time I step outside this week, I get to play a fun game of “is one of my neighbours having a barbecue or is the wind blowing from the direction of the wildfire?”
When I posted this, I didn't even consider that he could pick a third, worse option.
Kieron Moore@kieronmoore.bsky.social · last mo.I have some hope that Burnham can be a better PM than Starmer, but whether I abandon that hope is largely dependent on whether he chooses Miliband or Streeting as chancellor.
My random Sam Neil story. An actor friend of mine was cast in a small role on Peaky Blinders. Never receives his script pages. Discovers his role has been pushed to non speaking background, which is less fun/less money. Sam Neil spots him looking dejected on set and finds out.
My favorite Sam Neil fact will always be that he designed a future Australian flag that replaces the union jack with the aboriginal flag for Event Horizon and insisted the film use it.
The Sound of Drums depicted Ann Widdecombe defecting from the Tories to be a spokesperson for a populist movement centring around the personal cult of a conniving grifter, and maybe RTD had a better grasp on politics than we all gave him credit for.
