Books and ropey old British telly, mostly. Historically not very active on the socials but will put some effort into it in 2026. So gird your loins for a load of old cobblers.

A Russian firm unveiled a humanoid robot dubbed Aldol during a flashy showcase in Moscow, only for it to fall on its face. Figuratively *and* literally.

All to the iconic soundtrack of Rocky, no less.

Lynda La Plante as Tamara Novek nursing the bedridden employees of Rentaghost in a tableau reminiscent of Hieronymus Bosch at his most fevered.

HIGNFY shared a YT clip on Friday's edition and it's easily the most that show has made me laugh in decades - I was roaring and covered in tears on the third rewatch 🤣

british fan chat
cartoon for the guardian by Stephen Collins - script as follows: [Scene is a darkened LOFT. Amongst the boxes and junk are FOUR KNACKERED OLD FANS - three tower fans and one circular, with cracked grey plastic and buttons missing. One fan, TOWER FAN 1, is a bit taller than the others, and is addressing them] 1 TOWER FAN 1: Right lads, get ready. 2 TOWER FAN 1: This is our time. 3 TOWER FAN 1: The time when we remember who we are, and why we’re here. 4 TOWER FAN 1: We are the four crap fans in a British person’s loft, and we are here to make absolutely no difference whatsoever. 5 TOWER FAN 1: I know what you’re thinking, lads: 6 TOWER FAN 1: Surely this will be the year they finally replace us? 7 TOWER FAN 1: Our plastic’s gone all brown... I haven’t oscillated since 2018... 8 TOWER FAN 1: Dave here sounds like a spitfire and blows like a sad cat’s sigh… TOWER FAN 2: Cheers mate 9 TOWER FAN 1: But no. These people are British, and every year, they forget the sun exists. By the time they remember, new fans will cost *four million pounds* on Amazon. 10 TOWER FAN 1: So we’ll be back down there... shovelling thick air across the moaning faces of a species that cannot comprehend the concept of air conditioning, or even just closing the curtains when it’s hot out... 11 TOWER FAN 1: ...while they incessantly bang on about normally hot countries which this country is now temporarily a bit hotter than. 12 [The loft hatch opens and a person comes up the ladder] PERSON: APPARENTLY IT’S HOTTER THAN GREECE, LISA

I have never been so moved so consistently by one person’s body of work. He was a damn fine human being.
