Passengers (2016) should have been a horror film about Jennifer Lawrence being trapped on a ship with her sociopath stalker. Chris Pratt's decision to doom her character to a lonely death with him in the void of space just to prevent him from feeling lonely is A grade psychopathy

Ok, Odysseus had a tricky journey home, but has he ever tried to get across Edinburgh during the Festival? boxd.it/QFQU

The Odyssey (2026)

Odysseus, the legendary King of Ithaca, embarks on a long and perilous journey home following the Trojan War. Throughout his voyage, he is forced to confront the whims of gods, mythological monsters, ...

The fact they put the dead space hatching and the pedestrian refuges back exactly as they were rather than widening the pavements and squeezing the lanes together at the bare minimum is absurd.

What do people think about the North Bridge reopening? Work to repair the 19th century North Bridge took much longer, and was more expensive, than anticipated....

Not sure I remember this particular Enid Blyton book, but it sounds interesting. www.itv.com/news/wales/2...

Always hilarious to me that the true story of JK Rowling's harrowing and #relatable story of writing while unemployed was actually "she was fired from Amnesty International (!!) for writing her dumb novel on company time" m.economictimes.com/magazines/pa...

Scully let's split up. I'll interview this beautiful botanist and you go check out the sewer system full of human bones

Sigh.

We need an Edinburgh Pub Wiki. What should the categories be? Pints under £6? Old man? Good choice of stout? Central? Good for groups?

I've been seeing a lot of people responding to this with "there ought to be a law," but importantly, we haven't needed a law for this sort of thing because no prior president wanted to be known as a leader who would literally kill people in their hour of need for not voting for him

This is honestly one of the most shocking images coming out of this administration and that’s saying something

"We have been horrifically complicit in this genocide. We have continued to sell arms to Israel.. we are in many ways colluding, we have colluded, and this government has had a shocking and shameful record in relation to Gaza. Juliet Stevenson on @novaramedia.com 🎯

That reminds me, I really should get my last will and testament updated...

Rejoice! Edinburgh’s got a new contender for the world’s worst cycle lane! Imagine a dark stormy night 😱 - needs a “cyclist dismount”, “road narrows on left”, “cycle lane closed” or whatever sign. Or maybe make the “keep right”permanent?

Skys John Sparks, speaking from Jerusalem: ".. the ceasefire in Gaza, the 1st phase was implemented last Oct, its brought about a semblance of peace in Gaza" Moments later: Dr James Smith, speaking from Gaza: "I must challenge your correspondent, there is no ceasefire in Gaza"

ohhohohoooo pleeeease do him on data protection, it would be so fucking funny if you did him on data protection just turn wearing these fucking things in public into an open and shut civil lawsuit that bankrupts every nonce, pest and pervert who wears them

TikToker faces police probe over secret filming using Meta 'smart' glasses

Edinburgh Council really going for a maximum "fuck you" to cyclists by narrowing the footpath for assholes taking photos of a statue, meaning cyclists are forced into awful traffic as their lane abruptly dead ends at a busy junction.

It is two years today since this dimwit gave us the most hilarious demonstration of karma in history.

just in case you wondered how graham is doing lol

“Have you checked the copy for the Enterprise display ad?” “Didn’t need to, it’s the same every week” [one day later] “Oh”

I recently got interviewed by Pixel Addict Magazine You'll find me in Issue 35, where we chat about chiptune, retro gaming, and more. 👾 The issue is due out in mid-August. Order at: www.addict.media/pixel-addict... @pixeladdict.bsky.social

Happy Heavenly birthday to the legend that is Sir Clive Sinclair, who would have been 86 years old today.

Gary Lineker described the ban on Palestine Action as “the biggest absurdity” to the @palestinedeepdive.bsky.social podcast yesterday. Gary ridiculed arrests of “little old ladies [as] terrorists”. Yet today in Burnham's Britain over 70 people (including old ladies) have been arrested again.

Seriously, @theguardian1.bsky.social , are you *really* publishing this *right now*??

I can’t believe these arrests are still happening - the new PM could end this utterly absurd proscription if he chose. As Jonathon Porritt says - trying to save lives is not terrorism. Exposing this government’s complicity in genocide is not terrorism

NEW: Sir Jonathon Porritt, arrested under Terrorism law outside Westminster Magistrates Court. As police escorted him away he said "I am a supporter of Palestine Action, trying to save lives is not terrorism, exposing this Governments complicity in genocide is not terrorism." www.wedonotcomply.org

I'm not qualified to judge whether such people are psychopaths. All I can say is that they behave as if they are. From today's Telegraph.

Setting up a podium for people to read poems is now terrorism. Andy Burnham can stop this. He isn't.
