Genuinely sad at the passing of Gil Gerard. He should have been a much bigger star than he was - he oozed charisma as Buck Rogers in my childhood and the performance stands up well today. God speed, Captain Rogers. Ranger 3 has left orbit.

🚨BREAKING: Employment Rights Bill passes in the House of Lords and will become law.
This is an historic day for working people across the country, and the trade unions who represent them.

Holy balls
people are ‘painting’ minis with ai now… it’s depressing & they answer comments like it’s some kinda ‘skill’. they used to actually paint but now just churn this out for likes?
many people won’t realise & will just assume that the person painted it, cos why wouldn’t you?
be careful out there 💕

As we mourn Rob Reiner, don’t skip this: he was, pretty much, personally responsible for overturning California’s Prop 8 banning same sex marriage.

One of my favourite Betamax episodes was chatting about This Is Spinal Tap with Absokute DJ Claire Sturgess back in 2018 (recorded in her studio). Alas it wasn’t episode 11 but still amazing open.spotify.com/episode/28gD...

old twitter was like a place in interwar berlin, paris, or shanghai people have romantic memories about in spite of witnessing knife fights between prostitutes daily and heroin junkies overdosing
My pleases-nobody sense of Return To Twitter Discourse is that the place can never return to what it was, and can never return to the idealized past version we imagine either, nor can that idealized past version be constructed anywhere else because it was always romantic self-regarding bullshit

Happy Hanukkah to our friends who celebrate. Rachel Posner, a rabbi’s wife in Kiel, Germany, took this photograph in 1931 -- a potent reminder that fascism must be fought in every generation, even if it's wrapped in an American flag and a red hat.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides
