I love how everyone's all clutching their pearls about Kneecap and going "it's a brutal method of torture" but haven't given a single fuck about Iron Maiden or The Cross.

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door. Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

You'd think A Man Called Horse and the Horse With No Name could have come to some sort of arrangement, really.

In a world where JK Rowling wasn't awful, she'd have created the role of Sopaipilla Atacama, Chilean wizard, for Pedro Pascal.

It's the Pope's funeral, the US president has started arresting judges, and the accuser of a British prince has allegedly committed suicide, meanwhile there's still a war in Europe and an ongoing genocide... this morning's news feels like a season finale, and not in a good way.

Someone on Threads noticed you can type any random sentence into Google, then add “meaning” afterwards, and you’ll get an AI explanation of a famous idiom or phrase you just made up. Here is mine

Given that the Pope's last public address was yesterday, Easter Sunday, the respectful thing for the media to do would be to give some time to its contents. SPOILERS- he called for a ceasefire in Gaza and humanitarian aid.

I kind of love the idea that you could be allowed to play old video games for historical research purposes but if you have fun, the government sends you to jail.

Maybe Pope Francis was sent by God to perform one task- to give JD Vance a bollocking. And now his mission is accomplished.

Crikey. RIP to the least worst Pope in living memory. Probably gonna be back to business as usual at the Vatty C now.

I must be old. I'm quite pleased there's a new Pulp album but I'd rather have a new series of Wireless Nights.

When I was a kid I had a book called Dudley in a Jam about a dormouse who tries to make some plum jam and it's a right palaver. Whenever I see Harry Potter adults, whining and mewling that they're "not allowed" to enjoy their childhood fave anymore I imagine myself doing ti about Dudley in a Jam.

It's cool that Easter is on 4/20 this year, because it gives Jesus just enough time to smoke a bowl and give Hitler a birthday kick in the balls before coming back from Hell.

If I was Jesus, and saw a bunch of self-serving racist pricks using that time I got tortured to death as an excuse to peddle their toxic bullshit, I'd be asking my dad if he still had that flood machine in the shed and if I could maybe borrow it over the Bank Holiday weekend.

Not gonna binge it, because we won't get any more for YEARS and I've got a week off shift so it'll be nice to have one a night for a few nights, but Common People was proper Black Mirror again.

I wonder if, in her dotage, JKR will do some Moorcock/Lucas-esque revisionism and remove the whole "mixed-gender sport" part from Quidditch. this is not meant to suggest that either of those guys had evil intent.

If I was an artist, and I had an Apple Pen, I think I would be physically incapable of using it without singing the "Pen Pineapple Apple Pen" song the whole time.

Some Heritage Foundation twat on the radio complaining about "intellectual elites" running the American education system, and honestly I really can't think of anyone who's better for the job of running an education system than intellectual elites.

One thing I do agree with Trump on, though. "Tariff" is a nice word. It's pleasantly jaunty-sounding. That said, he's fucked it like Elon's fucked Doge or Cameron fucked "you ain't no Muslim bruv".

Conspiracy theories about Trump being a Russian asset are old hat. These days everything he does seems calculated to make everyone go "FUCK YEAH CHINA".

@stoatie.bsky.social: "Watching both The Brood and Scanners again in 2025 is a fascinating experience ... both cracking films in their own right, it’s interesting to see the roots of #davidcronenberg’s ... themes and obsessions he would go on to develop".via @secondsightfilms.bsky.social t.ly/O6KSm

It's kind of stupid that films where it's a race against time are always so exciting. If they were boring, time would move much slower and make for a much easier race

Just rewatched The Brood. Not gonna wang on about it too much here because I'm writing a thing about it and Scanners this weekend, but fuck me, that's a movie and half. Was never one of my favourite early Cronenbergs before, but revisiting it was a fucking trip.
