"Don't like much really, do I?
But what I do like, I love passionately"

Music, telly, food, big planes, scribbling and German Shepherds, not necessarily in any order. Unrepentant #totp bore

BBC Four doc on about winter art featuring Chamonix. Had to sleep in the van at a service station there because my card wouldn't work at the Mont Blanc tunnel 🤣 I'll never forget the angry Frenchman in the toll kiosk shouting 'NON! YOU GO BACK TO CHAMONIX!'

Caught up with the lads in Turin...

My sense is that the “male loneliness crisis” is not really about addressing men’s emotional needs but rather the relatively newfound absence of having someone to perform domestic labor for you quietly in the background now that there is a longer gap between your mother and your wife doing it

I was looking up to see if "pot noodle sandwich" was anything different than what I was imagining (it is not), and someone asked how to make it keto friendly, and anyway I love the internet.

I heard there was a secret meat
With paprika, and spicy heat
But you don't really care for sausage

...sorry, I can delete this. I've just seen a few posts in this format and I wanted in.

A boozy lunch with the miracle man who happens to be my boss. So happy to be having this opportunity, when it could so easily have been me writing his obituary just a few months ago.
Bonus Dire Straits Legion Wall Tattoo content.

Man answering his phone on the train: Yes? Correct, I’m not at work (pause) I’m not going to answer that because I am not at work today. No, you’re going to have to ask someone who is. Goodbye.

Oh man, just remembered the guy who asked for Star Wars by Richard Burton & I was SO PLEASED to decode that he actually wanted War of the Worlds by Jeff Wayne, even though he sternly told me no it was definitely by Richard Burton til I showed him Burton just plays the narrator

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

All from his movies.

"Bluesky is an echo chamber."
"Bluesky doesn't have enough reach"
"Liberals must return to X to challenge the far right"

I'm not a tech bro or a journalist. Your priorities are not my priorities. Stop telling me I need to do anything other than chat about comics & telly with people who seem nice.

We absolutely do not need to know the origin story of Poirot’s mustache complete with flashback. Get back to over the top period detectiving.
WORD I am really, really tired of "we tease the tragic backstory of the detective" can't a detective just detect, the murder is surely sufficient drama.
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

This is the #poem I read at end of my resignation - it will be in the follow up collection to Ice Cream for a Broken Tooth , most likely called Let The Quiet Ones Rise

Zootopia 2 is the highest grossing Hollywood movie of the year & Kpop Demon Hunters was Netflix's most popular movie of all time, but fuck animators, am I right? I hate reading about how huge & beloved this stuff is while knowing how hard creators have it & how it still isn't broadly taken seriously

Loving the Aspel Antiques Roadshow retrospective on BBC Four. He once told me I was the best/quickest interviewer he'd ever had! Lovely chap.
