I probably hear more “not as nice as she seems on the telly” stories about her than anyone else. (I remain fairly neutral)

Few sights are as cheering as the tiny Dane scurrying down a continental alleyway, like a Womble chased out of a boulangerie. This Côte d’Azur travelogue is marvellous fun

The effortless shift in discourse from people insisting that anything that isn't a white statue of a dead roman dude isn't art like 3 years ago to demanding that they be treated as visionary artists for typing" x-men mystique big boobs she's my girlfriend" into a prompt window

A reminder I’m trying Christmas cards again this year. I spent most of yesterday drawing disappointed astronauts on the back of them. £5 each might sound pricey but it’s free postage if you’re in the UK. marswasrubbish.etsy.com/listing/4409...

I made the mistake of letting the Youtube algorithm play the next video and it's a film explaining the Roy Jay conspiracy theory. I had no idea about this but basically some paranoid far-too online 4 Chan and X users decided Roy Jay was a time travelling AI demon. (yes I know)

The coolest thing I'd ever seen when I was 11.
Decapitation! Dismemberment! Vomiting! Doctor Who's 20th anniversary story THE FIVE DOCTORS, transmitted during Children in Need in 1983, featured all these elements and more in the 'Cybermen vs Raston Robot' scene. ROUND 1, FIGHT!

There’s something hilarious, and a bit sad, about Robbie Williams announcing a handful of smaller low-key gigs in venues with a bit of cred (I mean by ‘smaller’, places like the Barras — hardly the back room of a pub) and then going “that’ll be £140 please”.

Joel has a real skill for articulating what I've just grumpily sworn about.
Hooray! The only thing apparently worth saying about comedy - that it’s being gagged - is being said once again by someone who’s done absolutely fucking fine by being allowed to do whatever comedy he wanted in an extremely friendly environment that no longer exists, for purely economic reasons.
