Jesus. I mean, if this is the standard of columns now we might as well just let AI write the fucking things, they can’t be any worse, surely…

I live in Leith now, so I thought I should go and see Hibs play, but this tiny thing changed my mind

I was on the cusp of buying those tickets

Did someone open the gates on this place this weekend or something? The amount of lunatic septics going full radge in replies to entirely sensible posts is really weird, even for this place.

The @glasgowfilmtheatre.bsky.social are missing a trick if they don’t get Kingsley and the Beavers together for the Hundreds of Beavers screening next week.

*John Swinney* is a dangerous radical spitting on the public’s grief, now. I think the lads just cannot stop clowning, ever, for the same reason why Peter and Wendy had to keep thinking happy thoughts about chocolate and Christmas: the moment they stop, they fall out of the sky.

After all these years, I've finally finished watching Battlestar Galactica. What a series it was. Bleak but it ended with hope.

Apple Books is just taking the fucking piss in its recommendations now. Although not as much as the publisher is…

Friday, this starts. Presumably with Killer, the pilot, which is a really very different tone to the main series.

Love that film. Exceptionally efficient storytelling. And caught that and Happiest Season in quick succession and realised I’d been doing KS dirty all these years dismissing her as that Twilight girl.

Time to give this another signal boost.

Pop a few quid this way if you can, and let’s make this happen.

We're just under halfway with 19 days left. It's going to be a long shot, but who knows, maybe we can come close.

Pre-order Issue Four now. The closer we get, the more chance we have of making it happen.

Finally, the Holiday Special is no longer the worst Star Wars Christmas thing…

A Star Wars action figure of an R2 astromech droid in red and white and gold Christmas decoration, with a baby Grogu Christmas decorated figure and a large Santa beard to apply to the droid. It is every bit as tacky and shit as it sounds.

Regal and Dunne. Peter seems to be a full time producer now - which is fantastic for his quality of life, but a big loss otherwise. Still, he’ll be at least as good as Regal I suspect in advising them about the UK.

Not been to an indie graps show (RevPro doesn’t count) since the pandemic. Tempted by a local lunchtime show tomorrow but the line-up is absolute peak undergraps stuff so haven’t quite decided if it’s worth giving up the pub for. Especially with the ‘family friendly’ tag.

It occurs to me that the Doctor's polyethnic identity in recent times recontextualises Peter Davison's casting in quite an interesting way.
(For context, although you'd be unlikely to guess it by looking at him, Davison's paternal family is Guyanese. He has close relatives who are visibly Black.)

Peter Davison, a fair-skinned blond man, as the fifth Doctor, circa 1982.
