If I see one more article with Casey Bloys gloating about how “Heated Rivalry” is “the greatest acquisition in the history of television”, I’m going to fucking lose it. YOU CANCELLED “OUR FLAG MEANS DEATH”, ANOTHER BRILLIANT ACQUISITION, YOU COCKWOMBLE.

And if it’s about straight characters there will be a Season 3

HBO head Casey Bloys confirms that ‘A KNIGHT OF THE SEVEN KINGDOMS’ Season 2 will release in the first half of 2027. (Source: Deadline)

Fuck you #BBC for choosing this quote from a vile human being, about one of the kindest and best people. Also JK - I hope I can call you that? “Just Killing” is so formal You’re not even a celebrity. And Dolly was a global superstar and much loved legend. Out of your league, spitewitch.

How the BBC is reporting Dolly Parton's passing.

We've decided 9-25 is Dolly's day. We have a month to prepare, and to make this a National if not Global celebration of the best of humanity. Repeat, share, and prepare! Organize a block-party, write a poem, buy some books, sing some music...come together and be good to each other for a day!

I will never be able to use the stupidest word in existence to describe posts on BlueSky (starts with sk, the rest of it rhymes with eats). It sounds like a word for polite skid marks. Bleets however, is *great*

Labour MPs unhappy with the treatment of Starmer loyalists have warned they could make life hard for Burnham at the Budget “Andy’s Starmerite purge has created an incredibly powerful phalanx of skilled political operators who intimately know the government’s fiscal position" Harriet Symonds writes

Today, instead of “laving his tongue” we have “lathing his tongue”. I hope the character on the receiving end *wanted* a neck like a chair leg N.B. In the wake of previous whinges about my comments on shitty editing, apparently I need to say this is *not* fanfic, these are books I’ve paid for

This is outstanding 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

It's World Marine Aids to Navigation Day on the 1st July, so here's a quick thread on some aids to navigation. Now the first and most obvious aid to navigation is dry land. Dry land - pay attention at the back - is strongly suggestive that you can't go sailing here.

Today I’m torn. On the one hand: “to all intensive purposes” 😑 On the other hand: “woken at the cock of dawn” which is funny enough that I can forgive the former

She was murdered by fellow school kids and the internet was her social lifeline. It's so appalling the distortion happening here.

Mark Grimshaw@markgrimshawtism.bsky.social

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

Like, I genuinely feel like I’m going mad. Brianna Ghey wasn’t killed by social media. She was saved by social media, where she was able to find community with other young trans people. She was able to make online friends with people like herself. It was those offline who murdered her.

I need cis folks to understand that trans people are not working in the same framework you are. Every aspect of our lives anyone else has any control over (rent, jobs, healthcare, ability to keep any of that) is being purposely stripped away by folks delighted to do so. Give trans folk money!

So far today I’ve seen this, and the fact that the dementia mango’s “administration” have removed 180 religions from the military’s recognised religion list and I’m hoping to fuck that the next Oskar Schindler is already making plans

Crew For Life unless I comment on something entirely unrelated to OFMD, entirely unrelated to fanfic - but anyone who assumed I was commenting on fanfic gets to decide I was definitely and deliberately being mean about writers of fanfic. I love belonging to something.

Today’s bit of “Dear Authors, Please For The Love Of Arthur Marshall, At Least Proofread Your Work Or Have It Beta Read” is actually a typo and an exceptionally good one “wall scones” instead of wall sconces. I’m enamoured. If someone could make me a gluten free wall scone I’d be delighted

Well, this is super fucking dangerous. Hello, I am a person with long COVID who improved after trialing a lot of medications and therapies. Let me tell you how much “retraining your brain” so you can pretend not to be sick anymore works. It doesn’t. I was forced to do graded exercise. Got worse.

The Pitt got greenlit for a season 3, out next February, and the announcement has very funny comment from HBO chairman Casey Bloys that’s like “yeah, turns out if you just make a TV show like how we used to make TV shows you can have a 15+ episode season every year 🤷‍♂️”
