Seeing everyone enjoying the glasto coverage here and on instagram, it’s almost as if there’s a case to be made for a dedicated Music TeleVision channel, or maybe a few different ones dedicated to different music styles.

Why 88 feet Donald? Why 88 feet exactly? Surely you could have afforded a nice round 100 feet for your flagpoles, but no, it’s 88 feet. I’d really like to know the rationale.

1/ Why did Trump, on the eve of Juneteenth, make a big production of posting two "88 foot tall" flagpoles? That might seem an oddly specific number. www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Corporate needs some bugs exterminating, and who better to do it than the forklift driver who did it the last time! Along the way she meets a nice robot, a hunky soldier, and a new daughter to replace the one who aged out the last time. And booo capitalists!

[Ongoing thread] Ahsoka Season 2 (Disney+, probably 2026) Almost two years after the broadcast of the first season, the second goes into production next week! A good reason to start centralizing information in this thread. 😏 Showrunner Dave Filoni: "We're going to start shooting in four...”

Flashback to lockdown when I woke up on Easter Sunday expecting a relaxing day of chocolate consumption and my partner had instead planned a Saw-esque psychological torture.

I was on a train with friends last week and there was like 20+ rabbits on a field as we were rolling in to Limerick station and I, a 50+ yo man, not travelling with children, shouted BUNNIES!

I love stand up comedy. I had a pretty serious mental breakdown in 2017 and stand up comedy was one of the things that saved me. Just for twenty minutes on stage I could get out of my brain and be something and someone else.

In loo of regional UK phrases, here are five euphemisms for going to the toilet that I've come across from around the world... Go make a quick call to Paris (Finland) Go visit the dwarves (Lithuania) Go play chess with the Pope (Iceland) Go visit Uncle Ho (Vietnam) Go to see Nicolas Cage (Mexico)
