rewatching Frontier in Space and it just occurred to me that the intensive & excellent model shots that feature in this era of #doctorwho are basically puppetry with spaceships. If I ever paid attention to Thunderbirds this would probably not be a new thought in my head.

I have now listened to #PratChat83, the episode of @pratchatpodcast.com about Unseen Academicals. As usual, it was lovely and helped me enjoy the book more, not only because of the mention I got from @tansyrr.bsky.social .

#read2026 Unseen Academicals, by Terry Pratchett This story focuses mainly on four people who work behind the scenes at Unseen University, particularly Mister Nutt who is very strange in multiple directions. Also there is football.

The cover of my copy of Unseen Academicals by Terry Pratchett. A group of wizards in matching red uniforms poses as if for a team photo, while two women hold pom-poms like cheerleaders in the background. A trunk with legs is partly in shot on the left. In the foreground an orangutan holds a ball and wears a menacing expression.

Emily Wilson is doing important work by reminding men on the internet that watching Nolan's Odyssey is not the same experience as reading the text many, many times over, in the original Greek as well as multiple translations including your own. No wonder so many of them are mad.

I have seen the Odyssey. I liked it way more than I thought I would. I don't know what the usual timeline/pipeline is for GIFs from recent-released cinema, but if someone could fast-track at least three "Zendaya as Athena is disappointed in you" head shakes, I would be very grateful.

I see there are a lot of feelings floating around about the young and dashing Edward Bluemel being cast as Hercule Poirot. Before everyone froths up about this, I do think I should let you all know that Agatha Christie hated the very idea of Hercule Poirot being played by LITERALLY ANYONE.

Never forget that the first Supergirl film in the 80s was held up as the reason that we couldn't have female-led superhero films even decades into the X-Men & MCU franchises... despite it being no worse than Superman III & IV. Because "girl."

#Supergirl is a direct follow-up to a very well liked movie, features Krypto (who everyone loves), has Jason Momoa as Lobo (which fans said they always wanted) & stars an actress everyone agrees was a standout in HotD. The only reason there’s a hate campaign against it is because “Girl.”

I've seen a lot of discussion from indie authors wanting to generate AI references then get real artists to "make it legit art" which suggests a HUGE lack of understanding of how to commission art/design as an author. So I thought I'd share my experience.
