Milton Keynes actor Waseem Mirza will star in Doctor Who spin-off The War Between The Land And The Sea.

Yet MK Citizen newspaper has only published the top half of his face… and they call it "Dr. Who" on Disney+ even though citizens of Milton Keynes could only ever watch it on the BBC.

Amateurs.

Sam's got a new hugely derivative Police Consultant TV show to half-watch while she marks… BUT this one stars the amazing LeVar Burton!

I find it hugely distracting—we have a small house and I automatically listen to Geordie's voice… even when he's not saying #StarTrek stuff.

Do you remember when everyone had false teeth?

Weird, huh.

We saw it with big tobacco, we saw it with the fossil fuels industry. When their own internal research showed the harm from their product, the defunded the research and attacked independent researchers coming to the very same conclusions.

Do you think Tony Stark would've had the same beef with Peggy Carter's leadership as he did with Steve Rogers—or would've he just hit on her, been rebuffed and then said "Yes, Ma'am."

I dunno what these snowflake men's problem is.

When I worked in female dominated workplaces I was either made loads tea, hit upon or (in the vast majority of cases) just treated normally and with respect.

I don't miss 'male banter' which is really just teasing / bullying dressed up as humour.

Stereotypes that centre men’s worth in their work are strangling sensible debate, and letting down women too, says author Finn Mackay

I'd like to direct live comedy shows.

I heard The Mighty Boosh really took off at Edinburgh Fringe after Stewart Lee directed their show.

I'm not Stewart Lee, but I could literally do that—I've seen enough of 'em.
What's your absolutely unworkable plan to drop out of your current life (or at least work life) and do something completely different?

I must be the only person doing Mystery Shopping assignments in my area… last night I got paid £25 to order a burger (which I'm reimbursed for) 30mins before closing time. The normal fee is £5.

I didn't want the fries, I bought them home and we're gonna make French Tacos with them later.

About once a year, I take an unscheduled afternoon off to lean into my Edinburgh Fringe planning… and afterwards I worry that I've taken the piss.

Bojo had 4 consecutive days off partying while shit was hitting the fan in 2020? FFS.

Just witnessed an argument about an Edwardian door handle at National Trust Hinton Ampner.

"Leave the door handle alone please, sir!"

"It not real!"

"IT IS REAL! Get away from it."

Despite this we had a lovely 7min wander around the pantomime themed Christmas display… after driving 90mins 🙄

Good morning.
I'm in Alton, where Jane Austen lived for 8 years before dying of cancer in Winchester.
Have a great day 👍🏻

Oh, FFS!
I was weeing while listening to @cheapshow.bsky.social, my earbud dropped into the toilet and I had to fish it out.
So Paul and @e-loud.bsky.social have played a Price of Shite in my (quite strong) piss. Thankfully, after a rinse, it still works.
