Just read Robert Eggers would love to make a mini-series about Rasputin. Filmed in Russia. He truly is this generation’s custodian of goth hearts.

Amazing to note how much opposition from councils and MPs there was a decade ago: too expensive (£4bn!), too disruptive to locals, too long to build, and largely unnecessary, ran the argument www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Just look at these paragraphs from the AP story. Hegseth called Brown unqualified solely because he's Black. Then they fired him... and replaced him with a white guy so indisputably unqualified that he requires a Presidential waiver. This is what "merit" means to them. apnews.com/article/trum...

This may be the most unique gliophorus mushrooms I've found. I have no idea what species it is, but I imagine it's not G. psittacinus, AKA the parrot mushroom that I love to post. Its uniformly golden yellow and orange hue is so awesome! Would love to find another someday! 🌟 🍄📷 📸🎞 🌿🌱 🟡 🍄 📷 🍄‍🟫

Imagine if you lived through the whole of history refusing to use new names for things in case they sounded "woke". You'd still be referring to scrofula as "the King's evil", micro-organisms as "miasma", schizophrenia as "demonic possession", and sexual abuse as "droit du seigneur".

American technogarchs have announced a government-backed $500 billion "AI infrastructure" project. And they've called it, erm... "Stargate". I'll add it to the list.

45 years after seeing this film for the first time, 45 SODDING YEARS, I've only just noticed the problem here. "There is another"? Not "another, there is"...? You don't really need to use that attention-seeking sentence construction at all, do you? You bullshitting troll-ornament.

Imagine living in a dystopian world where the overlap of political abuse and corporate branding is so great that you can tell if someone's evil just based on whether they say "X" instead of "Twitter".

Continuing my bleeding-edge of nerd culture theme, I've written for Den of Geek about the legacy of Quatermass, and how much British sci-fi TV owes to someone who, frankly, despised it: www.denofgeek.com/tv/quatermas...

I used to work at Lidl, I would print of extra reduction stickers and stash them for future use. Getting the deluxe Mac and cheese at 60% off every time was exhilarating.

One of the many ways you can tell Kemi Badenoch is too online is she keeps using “DEI” which is not a term used by UK organisations. America Brain is real and Kemi has it. She’ll be talking about jaywalking next.

A Hexham head-inspired film that delivers 46 minutes of beautifully shot ritual sacrifice, standing stones, archaeological excavations, bedroom presences, and Frazer/Murray-inspired writing. FROM THE DARK EARTH (O'r Ddaear Hen, 1981) is perfect comfort viewing.

This is where we're going wrong as a species: we're allowing 'right-wing summits' to exist. Do icicles arrange 'turn on the central heating summits'? Do slugs book vast arenas to debate and celebrate salt? NO. These losers fail our entire species, and planet, just by existing.

Now listening to one of the best finales. Also just found the image of the Cybermen featured in this story in DWM magazine and they're freaking awesome! Its sort of like a crossover too with the Brig who was in the original UNIT spin off set around this time and Sam from the new UNIT series

This is true. A pal of mine who is a policeman went to a Scottish island recently to investigate a missing person and when the locals found out he was a Christian they stuck him in a giant human-shaped willow branch construction and burned him alive.
