It felt very nice to bang out Pretty Little Dead Things from Paddington at a karaoke bar tonight, to a great reception.

It’s never too late to be who you are. Dr. Theodore John Kaczynski left his field at 27, began to pursue his passion at 36, and didn’t receive recognition for his work until he was 54.
Incredible! With Waris and Carole Ann Ford attending, I can’t wait to have some superb Who origins content.
Gallifrey One@gallifreyone.bsky.social · 2d agoWe are honored to welcome back Doctor Who's first-ever director, Waris Hussein, a major figure in the show's foundation whose work on film and TV continued for decades thereafter. Last with us back in 2012, he joins us at our February 2027 event. gallifreyone.com #gally1
Tom’s done an incredible thing over the last three months(ish) - ranking comic events from worst to best. Start at the top and work your way down though the nested posts for some excellent commentary on comics biggest stories.
Tom Ewing@tomewing.bsky.social · 3d agoSTOP! You must be SUPER-ONLINE to proceed! #EventsDearBoy 1. FINAL CRISIS (2008, DC) Final Crisis is my favourite event. There are many excellent reasons for saying it isn't the *best*, but it's the one that most fulfils the promise of my first, Secret Wars: an epic story only an event could tell
I should be less kind and not agree to drive to Brussels airport at 4am to drop friends off…
Breaking news: the Scarecrow levels in Arkham Asylum still suck.
i hate spider-man, i HATE him. i am going to use all the resources of my newspaper to smear him. he stinks! anyway. time to give my adult Son a big kiss on the lips and send him off to the moon. i’m sure he won’t come back a werewulf
I've got about six months to stock up on Bodger and Badger questions...

One Last Time With Feelings
Verity! began as six women talking about Doctor Who almost fourteen years ago.* A lot has changed for us and the show and it’s been a wonderful journey, but this will be our last episode (our…

I don’t know how you’re doing, but I found a dead caterpillar in my broccoli after several mouthfuls and will probably never eat anything green again. Except for mint choc cornettos, obviously.
Well, that’s the Odyssey seen. Pretty damn good. Samantha Morton was fascinating as Circe, my favourite performance. Better to have seen it late and on a smaller screen (the bigger ones are all Spider-focused now) than missed out.
Before I knew anything about Rod Liddle, I knew he was someone who beat his wife. Everything from that point on was learned unwillingly and with disgust.
It’s another mini-heatwave in agent, so I’m enjoying cold drinks on a bar built on a barge, ahead of going to see The Odyssey (with air conditioning). Also really enjoying the Map Men’s map book!
We'll remember him for "the one thing stopping me from being a teacher was that I could not remotely conceive of not trying to shag the kids" "Harriet Harman, then. Would you? I mean after a few beers obviously, not while you were sober" and "Should it really be a crime to look at child pornography"

I've definitely not got a Doctor Who problem. It's just that I can't go to bed until I've finished watching the raw studio footage from Planet of Fire. All two hours and forty minutes of it.
Watching Planet of Fire for the first time. Lanzarote looks magnificent, Peter Wyngarde and his moustache are fantastic, and Dallas Adams has definitely made a choice with his accent.
Wedding on Saturday. Received a 'style guide'/dress code cheat sheet, probably made with AI, at 6am this morning. Not quite sure how that gives me enough time to do anything with it.
The twist this takes is nothing short of incredible.
