Behold, I have finally seen Coyote Vs Acme and it was marvellous! I laughed a lot and had a slight menty h check-in with myself for getting a little bit emosh at the message but anyway yes, thoroughly recommend.

Zoe Tunnell, from Comics@zoewithasword.bsky.social · 5d agoWE GOT THERE WE'RE HERE DECADES LATER AND IT IS STILL ONE OF THE MOST LOVELY AND AFFIRMING BITS OF TRANS STORYTELLING IN A GENRE SHOW
Today is my last day of work before my annual leave and as a treat for myself I'm going to see this tomorrow before the actual travelling bit of my holidays; it had been sparse on showings but there's loads more locally from Friday onwards, London pals!
Matt is Just Trying His Best@thegrampus.bsky.social · 4d agoWhoever decided to promote Coyote vs Acme by letting Wile E do an AMA using only signs deserves all the praise.
Fury Road is already a cinematic masterpiece but it absolutely hits differently this quickly after a re-watch. (Based on entirely no evidence other than a lack of his car & a sudden need to learn gymnastics I think this one comes BEFORE Thunderdome?)

Poor Hastings has picked up what we think is kennel cough. He's eating and drinking so basically ok but he's clearly feeling very sorry for himself.
Local woman non-ironically delighted to run 10km in the pouring rain!
Watching the Dolly Parton set at Glastonbury and I enjoyed it a lot at the time but goodness me, she was brilliant.
The new intern in our office just strolled in and asked the CIO for lunch next Thursday for networking reasons, absolutely no hesitation, my god, this kid will rule the world in 10 years.
Oh god no, not Tim Curry, this is absolutely unacceptable behaviour.
Turned on the radio to listen to with dinner and both of us stunned into dropping forks and grabbing phones as soon as we realised WHY Jolene had been playing. Oh, Dolly - I'm so sad. She was a proper good 'un.
1. Which was the style at the time 2. TRAMAMAPOLINE 3. I am the lizard queen! 4. Money can be exchanged for goods and services 5. I'm cold and there are wolves after me
Gabby HC@scriblit.bsky.social · 2w agoThe 5 Simpsons lines I’ve uttered most off the top of my head: 1. What's wrong with my Sundaes? 2. I just think they're neat 3. Jub Jub's fantastic, he's always where you wanna be 4. Uh oh Spaghetti-Os 5. This pig's gotta fly!

Starting my morning by taking the dog for a long walk in the park and I tell you what, the sinking feeling when you realise the drought means that nope, that's definitely not mud he's just rolled in is truly awful. Neither of us enjoy bathtime, buddy, stop doing this!
Scarfed meal whilst writing material segues on the back of my hand and was rewarded by an absolute humdinger of a gig AND a friend who works in the area turning up with her new boyfriend was WAS just as nice as she'd promised. Excellent evening, no notes.
Colleen Cheetham-Gerrard@thecolleencg.bsky.social · 3w agoRunning slightly late to a gig and obviously desperately preparing my material on the train but I DID manage to get changed, do all my make up, walk and feed the dog before I left AND bring a packed tea (not sure WHEN I'll eat it but the principle is sound)

In Star Trek people often complain that replicated food is not as good as naturally produced food, which is weird when replicators are presumably using the same technology as transporters, which can perfectly replicate Spock every time. But is Spock getting less flavoursome over time? In this essay,
This has been a lovely weekend! After my fabulous Friday at the cinema, Saturday heralded an amazing meal out. Today we went for a long walk which was misery at times (SO HUMID) but went to Severndroog Castle & then had pints. Marvellous.
HR isn't your friend but it's not your enemy. The hatred is weird, the belief we're saviours is weird, it's just another work function, we're not out to get you anymore than finance is.

I’m not saying we should feed all the influencers to the sharks, but I note that the sharks do seem to have a taste for them
David Shiffman, Ph.D. 🦈@whysharksmatter.bsky.social · 3w agoThe influencers getting bitten chasing the perfect shark shot | I’m gonna need everyone to make better choices. Including the “influencers” who do unethical things with sharks without even a basic “don’t try this at home” disclaimer.
Up at 6.30am on a Saturday to get the doors and windows open to cool down the house and even the dog has only woken up long enough to putter out to the patio and fall back asleep out there.
SO GLAD I WAS NOT IN THE CINEMA JUST NOW FUCKGIFN HWJLL
This is today and whilst it is hotter than hell in central London I am very, very excited for my imminent six hours in a dark air conditioned room
Colleen Cheetham-Gerrard@thecolleencg.bsky.social · 2mo agoI am an adult with free will and disposable income, so: I just booked myself a day off work and then tickets for a double bill of Gladiator and Master & Commander in August, after which I will presumably conquer Leicester Square.
Also not sure why any of you are surprised that Nigel is afraid of a bin and lying about it.
Between fires, drought, an eclipse and a leader coming down from the North with followers who call him 'King', I think Charles has accidentally ruled over our most accidentally medieval summer in a while. He should be grateful it's 2026, he'd have had his own knights rebelling by now in 1426.
Lugged colander and dog out to fenced hired dog field for the eclipse. Colander trick worked, dog was profoundly unbothered as the sky went dark, the temperature dropped and the birds stopped singing.
Today I will be watching the eclipse via the medium of a colander and/or seeing how much the dog freaks out when the sun disappears.
Today is my birthday and I could deal with it being a work day but all of my favourite takeaways bring mysteriously shut this evening is a STEP TOO FAR
