Hard to say from a trailer if a film will actually be any good but bugger me that Magician's Nephew trailer is great!

Make a war film rubbish: Das Dinghy

Tiger's gonna tiger.

*knocking gently on a cocoon* are you almost done in there I really need to change

Monday

Can we take just a few seconds to acknowledge the birth of a new classic meme

HNF? WHUH? oh okay. (A mini dog-drama in three parts)

Finally getting around to playing Alan Wake 2. Remedy are a really special studio. This is excellent.

I know escalating hostility between Russia and Europe is objectively a bad thing but also find it hard to say I am particularly against some arms dealers falling out of some windows. www.ft.com/content/5da2...

A powerful show of solidarity with our Palestinian sisters and brothers at our National March today. The streets are with Palestine! #FreePalestine Video RTÉ

No shit.

Yeah it's been an indulgent summer and I should probably cut down on the beers and snacks.

You call him a Minotaur, I call him Half Man, Half Brisket x

Fuck this bullshit. White westerners can own their own fucking atrocities, past present and future. Not devastating. Self righteous and arrogant is such a fucking white way.

"What are we, a bunch of BROWN people?" This is white people doing white people shit. Y'all had picnics under our hanging bodies but sure ok. It's like the Taliban.

For sale, baby shoes, never worn

Exactly this. Weird to read Mike describe a situation identical to mine and briefly feel a bit of comfort from that relatability before it's quickly replaced by just being angry for me *and* for Mike.

“Don’t stick your dick in crazy“ is an endorsement of bottoming to crazy

There are more Ketchup sachets than nurses. More operational Furbies than professors of human geography. More dogs named "Digger" than people licensed to operate a JCB. And you ask why people are turning to Reform?

Coming up next: you won't believe where bears shit.

A fascinating editorial decision from the BBC, to make the headline a scaremongering “AUTISM AND ADHD ARE BEING OVERDIAGNOSED”, and then, four bullet points later, have the author of the report quoted as essentially saying “nah, that’s bullshit, actually”.

Buy Chloe's pylons before I do. I have no wall space and very little money so you'd be doing me a solid x

I find fasting really interesting and love hearing people who do so talking about it. "May your fast be easy and meaningful" is a lovely phrase.

For anyone not aware of why you need to take rabies seriously: this was the 15th. Say she did get infected when she picked it she's got about 5 days left to get the first shot. Without that shot symptoms will kick in around 10 days. Once they do she is 100% going to die in one of the worst ways.

it’s Labor Day, so it’s time for Boots Theory support your local unions, folks, and don’t let the bastards get you down

Men at Arms was not only the first Pratchett I read but the first book I remember reading on my own. It's no wonder I became such a fan of Discworld and also generally the person I am. Foundational. Also probably still my favourite. A fantastic book.

It’s dangerous to go alone, take this

"Scrappy-Doo physique". Excellent stuff.

I'm 90% certain that the "England 'til I die" that the masked mob were chanting about is an AI image of a Miss Marple style high street with buses going the wrong way, a dog with 5 legs, and "click Like if you rembemmber pikn'mix" in big letters, that they saw on Facebook this morning.

Arab Strap's new album is predictably excellent.

I also endorse buying Chloe's fantastic art on a Friday(other days also acceptable for buying Chloe's fantastic art but it's Friday today so what're you waiting for?)

Was meant to go to a gig tonight but my friend is ill and has pulled out. Don't fancy a 6 hour round trip on my own so going to miss it. Gutted. This calls for a large amount of grilled meat and strong booze.

do not insult machines. this could actually happen

I'm not sure anyone could write a more beautiful tribute to someone than what Gillian has been kind enough to share here.

🎵Her name is April, I have a dream about her 🎵She likes my shell, I got sai class in half an hour 🎵Oh, how she rocks, in Keds and tube socks 🎵But she doesn't know who I am, and she doesn't give a damn about me 🎵'Cause I'm just a teenage turtbag, baby 🎵Yeah I'm just a teenage turtbag, baby etc

Haven't heard this one mentioned yet.

The 5 Simpsons lines I've uttered most off the top of my head: 1. You'll have to speak up I'm wearing a towel 2. The lesson is, never try 3. I would kill the children of a thousand planets just to see you smile 4. You don't win friends with salad 5. It's bringing love! Break its legs!

One of the first "outrageous" claims I saw as Jason Arday's media hounding unfolded was that he ran 30 marathons in 35 days! Wow! What a thing to claim! And the newspapers all suggested there was no evidence he actually did it. Well, they clearly didn't look very hard 🙄 🧵 1/26

These marathons were one of his defining achievements. And the British media pretended there was no evidence they happened. That it was just something he 'claimed' to have done... Now try and tell me their hounding was about "getting to the truth" RIP Jason 😢 26/26
