UHF is one of the most joyously daft films ever made, I highly recommend it if you just want an hour and a half of silliness.

@quietriotpod.bsky.social Another excellent Sunday School. My particular highlight being @pimlicat.bsky.social 's uncanny Roadrunner impression - surely her best since the glory days of #AskArlene!

Excellent support from @mrkennycampbell.bsky.social as always.

Great episode as always. Not gonna lie, the grin and Share it this week brought a actual tear to even my cynical old eye.

A cartoon showing a bottle of Lisrerine mouthwash with a tiny copy of the works of Kierkegaard leaning against it. There are two speech bubbles coming from the bottle.

"to live is to suffer..."

And

"...to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering"

The caption below the cartoon reads "NIHILISTERINE"

Just caught this (I'm not on Bsky much). I'm so sorry for your loss. Grief is the price we pay for love, but that is a bittersweet comfort. Gentle hugs to you. x

Great to hear another show stealing turn from Thanos on @iandunt.bsky.social 's latest Striking 13 podcast! Despite the eldritch horror of current affairs he had me in fits of giggles.

Keir Starmer's aides are reportedly telling him not to go to the COP30 climate conference, because Reform would attack him for it.
Yes, they might.
And he should wear it as a badge of honour.
Standing up for humanity, for science and a habitable planet.
Where's the hazard in that?

Politically acceptable UK racism is rising, even under La... As I wrote these words last autumn: β€œWe have made progress... even though that progress remains fragile and insufficient”, little did IΒ realise just how ...

This is outstanding. God knows what Labour is doing: legitimising the racism that'll be its undoing, losing the coalition which put it in office, trying to secure voters who will never support it, digging its own moral grave.
