I see Mel Gibson is at the Showmasters' event in London in July. £175 to have your photo taken with him, £195 for his autograph! No pricing info fo how much for him to leave an offensive answerphone message...

#LastFourWatched were all great!

Kylie was soooo awesome last night ❤️

Waiting for Kylie!

Historians and political scientists spend decades trying to determine the influence of money in politics and Musk just tweets out "I bought the election"

RTD stuck the landing! ☺️

No you too can smell like James Bond with our heady mix of cordite, stale cigarettes, vodka, sweat and blood.

Saw Sophie Ellis-Bextor tonight. Boy that girl can put on a show!!

Only one man can save us from AI...

Think I swallowed a fly earlier while mowing. Does anyone have a spider I can borrow? (May need a bird, cat and dog eventually)

I don't know quite what I was expecting, but I didn't imagine #theassessment would be as good as it was. Just incredible.

new #bookreview werewolvesonthemoon.wordpress.com/2025/05/22/n...

please stop using AI

Right. Tax it to the fucking skies. Make it cost what it costs. Make it unfeasible to use. Then stop using it.

This is very odd analysis. Most of the Government's problems are the fault of the party that was in charge for 14 out of the past 15 years. The Conservatives never stopped blaming their predecessors. Why would Labour after less than a year?

Part 2 out tomorrow ☺️

Insane sixties spy crossovers we never got! "Who are you?" "The new Number Two."

Launch day for @tobyhadoke.bsky.social’s magnum opus, a beautiful book on every goddamn fungal fragment of Nigel Kneale’s unbeatable television masterpiece THE QUATERMASS EXPERIMENT. I’d argue telly, and sci fi, and our collective culture, has never recovered from the explosion…

Wow, this took me back. I got involved in B7 fandom in the UK just after all this, and it was still deeply shaping the online experience when we moved onto mailing lists in the mid 90s.

Man goes to doctor. Says he's depressed. Says identity of murderer is obscure, unknown. Doctor says, Treatment is simple. Great detective Columbo is in town. Go and see him. He should solve it. Man thanks Doctor, turns to go, walks to the exit. At the door he turns, says: Oh, one more thing ...

I can confirm, Rogue One hits a lot harder now!

#LetterboxdFriday #LastFourWatched

Inspired by last week's #DoctorWho what's your '6 word story'? Mine is: Poison triggered regeneration, still not ginger

So that's Andor done and I'll be honest, I'm a bit of a mess! (The end credits tipped me over the edge) Rogue One tomorrow evening I think!

Lizzie + vampires?
