BabylOrg 5 gets underway:

Nothing says "Well drilled elite troops" quite like having them casually sauntering past the president.

"Finally, the two greatest gentleman fliers in the world meet. How often I have rehearsed this moment of destiny in my dreams?"

You’ll never guess what I’m watching.

Batman Begins is 20. I once marked a student’s Film exam paper that opened with: ‘At the beginning of Batman Begins, Bruce Willis' parents die.'

It warmed my soulless cold heart to see veterans at today's #NoKing protest. People of all ages. Lots of dogs. Great signs. #NJ

I'd recommend following @everetttrue.bsky.social if you want to read more of these.

Solidarity with everyone in the United States taking part in the #NoMoreKings protests. Stay defiant, stay safe.

For the umpteenth time CHATGPT IS A FOOL THAT USES BIG WORDS TO SOUND SMART. IT IS A COMPUTER SIMULATION OF WHAT STUPID PEOPLE THINK CLEVER PEOPLE SOUND LIKE.

This watch looks so angry.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a xennial woman in possession of her own bank account, must be in want of a LEGO PEMBERLEY SET beta.ideas.lego.com/product-idea...

Watched The Tingler earlier for podcast purposes. Had the sobering thought that Vincent Price was the same age as I am now when he made it.

Linkedin being very on point with the current political climate by suggesting I follow the Secretary General of the Untied Nations.

This has left me earwormed by Thunderstruck by AC/DC which is actually great so pleasant outcome all around.

Watching a Youtube Architect channel thing looking around Michael Shannon's apartment and let out a yelp when I saw he keeps his vinyl collection on a windowsill.

This once happened to me in London while using a pelican crossing and Bill Nighy was walking the other way.

Gavin Newsom becoming the face of political resistance to the Trump administration's attempts at full on fascism is going to translate into a presidential run, right?

LOOK AT THESE BABIES! ASTERBRIG 😭😭😭

Make this, make this now and get @oldsixie.bsky.social to voice it!

Been playing about with some rough sketching I want to expand upon. Doctor Who by way of the Asterix books

And this was considered newsworthy why exactly?

Recently listened to the Big Finish Doctor Who story The High Price of Parking by @johndorney.bsky.social. Really fun slice of season 24 style Doctor Who. If you enjoy the likes of Paradise Towers and The Happiness Patrol this will be right up your street.
