Catching up on Great British Menu and very much enjoyed @cerysmatthews.bsky.social as this week's guest judge.

When I worked in UK academia I recall hearing of a Japanese man who was baffled at how Britain had decided to run its universities like firms. “Why? Your universities are excellent and your firms are terrible.”

Watching the SAG Awards on Netflix and just got up to the bit where David and Gillian present the award. I love them so much.

Just watched this week's Severance and got very excited to see John Noble. 😀

Thinking about Valentine's Day in 2002 when the Buffy musical episode first aired in the UK and I watched it with a friend whilst getting drunk and eating Ferrero Rocher. Best V Day ever. I might commemorate it by sticking on the DVD, eating Ferrero Rocher and getting tipsy.

Someone has used their mad talent to do some good in the world: We can now vote on an amazing X-Files lego set to be released. The set made the first cut and is one of five finalists. All you need is a Lego account and join the vote. beta.ideas.lego.com/challenges/3...

Watching a film where Jensen Ackles has a mohawk, wears a kilt, and goes shopping for tampons. Fully here for it. Also, Clea Duvall. How have I not seen this before? #TenInchHero

Ooooh. Also seen on the RSD website that there's an exclusive version of the new Melys album being released. I better start saving.

I love that Vix includes a shout out to the Catatonia mailing digest in this. Those were the days.

"No cheating. Your last saved celebrity pic is your therapist". Not sure if it's Denise or Cooper, or both of them together, but I am fully here for it.

Aww, the large boulder the size of a small boulder has a new home and is thriving! So proud of her! ❤️

Incredible how wealthy people supposedly aren’t biased and so the government will listen to their opinion on tax rates (and actually act in their favour) but trans people are inherently biased and so can never be included in conversations in relation to our welfare

Oh come on! As someone who’s played too many video games, this is unfairly tempting

Just cannot understand why these multi millionaires with huge investments in commercial property keep banging on about working from home.

Me: I'll just watch 1 episode of Squid Game *4 episodes later*

One second from every episode of Twin Peaks.

Ah man, how incredibly sad. I fell in love with Twin Peaks when I was about 14 and he became one of my favourite directors. Gutted.

Trying to look up a dog on IMDb, like you do.

Just treated myself to this on Bandcamp (mjhibbett.bandcamp.com/track/a'i-guy)

I'd totally forgotten that Nathan Fillion was in an episode of Lost.

I can’t get over how cartoonishly evil this is putting in your fucking “hate speech” policy that a particular kind of hate speech against a particular group of people is explicitly allowed - and therefore encouraged - is the kind of shit that should be done from a volcano lair with a shark moat

So, let's try doing #duvetknowitschristmas here this evening? People are literally Driving Home For Christmas right now, which MIGHT JUST mean that they'll be sleeping somewhere unusual. 1/

Tonight's festive viewing is the season 1 Christmas episode of Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

Ellie is fully to blame/thank(?) to me becoming slightly addicted to this bonkers game since she steamed it on Saturday. There's no way I'm ever going to top our Discord leaderboard, but it's fun and also very cheap, so win. www.theguardian.com/games/2024/d...

Tonight's festive viewing is the Smallville episode 'Lexmas'.

work vibes this week:

How have I only just discovered that you can pair PS4 controllers with the PC? Game changer.

Tonight's festive viewing is the Frasier season 1 episode 'Miracle on Third or Fourth Street'.

It’s even worse knowing that Wes actually met trans kids, listened to them cry about how awful it would be to go through the wrong puberty, how this is a lifesaving treatment, and is fucking doing this anyway It’s even more heartless than shutting them out of conversations

Catching up on Only Connect from yesterday, to watch @muddyasblood.bsky.social, and got very excited by the brief Catatonia clip. 😄

Always strange for me watching 28 Days Later since some of it was filmed in my parents' house - when he finds his parents' rotting corpses they're in my mum & dad's bed. And the crumpled up photo of him when small is actually of my brother due to a production mistake (my mum was furious)

Hoorah! I'm on the @joyzineuk.bsky.social advent calendar today with a cover of the Christmas Classic* "Moshi Twistmas" by The Moshi Monsters! (* not a Christmas Classic YET, but surely will be soon)

Tonight's festive viewing is the Tru Calling episode ''Twas The Night Before Christmas... Again'. (Still not over it getting cancelled).

Just put up my little 5ft Christmas tree and realised it's been 20 years since I bought it from Argos and had to lug it up Rainbow Hill to get to my first rented flat in Worcester. 🎄 Now treating myself to a festive port and enjoying my Christmas playlist on shuffle.

Oh lord. So pleased I've got a sunroom with massive single-glazed windows near multiple trees and I live near the coast. 😳

me: everyone prepare their christmas song? guy who wrote jingle bells: mine is about bells & horses me: aw ☺️ guy who wrote silver bells: mine is also mostly abt bells me: oh. hm. thats fine guy who wrote carol of the bells: [lighting match & running fingers through it] this world is a nightmare

I've decided that every December I'm going to schedule in some festive episodes of fave TV shows, to get me in the Christmas spirit. I've scheduled in 8 to watch over the course of this month and first up tonight is the Caroline In The City season 1 episode 'Caroline and the Christmas Break'. 😀🎄

hello friends! My publisher is looking for an illustrator for my children’s book Jacob’s Transition Goals, which is about an 8 year old transgender boy who plays for his local boys football team. Do any of you have suggestions? - must be trans of some variety Reskeets appreciated

Live footage of me discovering I've got a 3 HOUR in-person training session on a Monday afternoon 2 weeks before Christmas.

I feel like videogames actually do provide a pretty accurate representation of real life right now because a lot of videogames are like “THE WORLD IS ENDING” and then you just collect herbs and pretend nothing is wrong
