Had lunch in Soho with the intimidatingly bright @cosmicskeptic.bsky.social, aka the most popular atheist YouTuber in the world, for the latest issue of New Humanist. A real pleasure.

THE OFFICE UK (2001): "A Summer Stinker...fails miserably because parodies of dullness only succeed when they're shorter and more exaggerated than their original models...a bore in real time remains simply a bore. I was pretty close to tears. Of utter despair." Evening Standard

A quite violently shit line in the latest Jurassic Park film’s trailer: “You don’t see that every day.” “Or ever.” A professional screenwriter wrote that. People signed off on it. They thought it was good enough to put in the TRAILER.

Funny piece, sure, but calling the latest Mission Impossible A BETTER FILM than No Time To Die is just so gobsmackingly stupid. defector.com/if-tom-cruis...

Can anyone think of any places that are publishing weird stuff about the internet at the moment? They do NOT need to be big publications; just places that are celebrating weird online stuff.

Tried to write about this, by the way. Spoke to the new owner, who had this sign commissioned in about 2023 because the previous one said 'WEAVERS ARS'. It took him a long time to notice the apostrophe. The company who own the pub don't want the bad publicity that would accompany a piece about this.

Popbitch on SNL has been way off to an extent that's embarrassing. First 'Errrr, do you know they're asking interested writers to send them sketches - FOR FREE???'; now this, which is a perfectly normal and sensible thing for a company to do.

Incredible that he did the "hat on a hat" thing literally, without even realising it. That's terminal humourphobia. That's being so harrowingly, cosmically unfunny that time, space and language bend around you.

Seems that way, yeah, even if you're a huge Fielder fan. Why not tell the contestants the show was fake? It doesn't seem to have relied on them thinking it was real.

Haha. Olives.

Anyone seen any adverts with wording that particularly annoyed them recently?

What? That's what an audition is, Popbitch.
