HERE COMES MUMFIE (1975): Adapted from Katherine Tozer's books, this had the same 'wholesome yet creepy' vibes as 1970's The Adventures of Rupert Bear (and shared some of its production crew). The Witch Up In the Sky was an absolute nightmare. The theme tune is an earworm, though.

Calling Tommy Robinson supporters! Nigel Farage is happy for you to join Reform UK. He’s announced it on Radio 4. He’s desperate to fill those empty seats we saw yesterday! Who will they recruit next? The KKK? Necromancers? (Mind you they probably all belong to Reform anyway!) 🥳

Went to Tesco (yes I’m slumming it). Wasn’t allowed in as I was wearing a poppy. When I did get to the shelves they were bare (thanks Wes Streeting). Finally got to cashier who cupping her hand over her mouth said," there is only one person capable of fixing this, Liz Truss.”🤪

It's polling day in Israel? Who will they choose to continue genocide? ❤️ www.normalisland.co.uk/p/israeli-el...

This morning on BBC Breakfast, Nigel Farage said he had received “zero help from the state” with his security. Yet reports say he had previously received publicly funded protection and was offered a taxpayer-funded package including a bodyguard, a secure car and a trained driver.

WHY WOULD I BUY A SLOP HISTORY BOOK WHEN I CAN PRODUCE MY OWN SLOP HISTORY BOOK AT THE PUSH OF A BUTTON I want an impenetrable text written by an academic up to their armpits in papyrus fragments. I want a bibliography that takes up 1/4 of the pages.

RFK is of course correct, it has been *checks notes* an entire year since an Arab has won a Nobel Prize

I dug into this and it's not Generative AI. It's plug-in tools built into DaVinci Resolve to do artificial depth of field and parallaxing on images. This is stuff docs have been doing for decades and has since been more simplified with pre-built tools.

Thank you to the hundreds of devoted supporters who were there to cheer me on at the press conference today.

Excellent thread 🧵 here. And Emma is correct MEN are the problem.

Meanwhile in Germany 🇩🇪: Emergency services rescue a man who was trying to rob electrical appliances from a recycling bin. Bonus content: Police found he had an outstanding arrest warrant, and whatever the German for “You’re nicked, Sonny Jim” is, that.

Can't wait to read Liz Truss's new book.

My heart is heavy. Walter Koenig, our Ensign Pavel Chekov, passed away early today. Walter and I met on the bridge of the Enterprise in the 1960s, and we stayed friends for nearly six decades. When Brad and I married in 2008, Walter stood beside us as our best man.

Discworld QOTD, from Maskerade “Nanny Ogg was basically a law-abiding person when she had no reason to break the law, and therefore had that kind of person’s attitude to law-enforcement officers, which was one of deep and permanent distrust.”

Eric Bauza’s final film performance, as of right now, is Coyote VS ACME. Roadrunner’s testimony is one of his final character performances in the film. He says “Beep” around 46 times, that’s all he says. Yet it says everything about his strengths and passion as a voice actor, with just one word.

I used to watch You Rang M'Lord Although it often made me bored Paul Shane as Alf, so unlike Ted With his face like an unmade bed The jokes were weak, the plots were poor Though Cissy Meldrum made me PHWOAR

“Of all the books I have ever reviewed that purported to offer a serious thesis, this is without question the most deranged.“ A joyful read

BREAKING: Netanyahu has announced that Brazil is just three weeks away from developing a nuclear weapon 👀

R.I.P. to Eric Bauza Out of all the actors who voiced the rabbit, you were the one who came the closest to Mel's original voice. You should've been around for 40 more years to voice him.

A strange political twist. While far-right parties gain ground in France 🇫🇷, Germany 🇩🇪 and the UK 🇬🇧 Voters in Serbia 🇷🇸, Hungary 🇭🇺, Romania 🇷🇴 and Poland 🇵🇱 have pushed back against nationalist forces, some with close ties to Putin. Thoughts?

THE HEXHAM HEADS: In 1976, BBC early evening magazine show Nationwide aired a segment about a real-life folk horror story. Stone heads unearthed from a garden, paranormal activity and werewolves abound in this notorious report, thought lost until 2024...

Surgeon: "There has been a large national focus on delays for elective surgical care such as hip and knee replacements. However, delays for emergency surgery also result in significant and avoidable patient harm." The number of hip fractures is set to double in the next 10 years
