apropos of this, it’s been announced that h will be staying up and sleeping on the couch sunday night so she can watch the halftime show, a thing she has never done pre bad bunny

oh it’s absolutely magic, she had listened to like three songs beforehand and then was like ‘so this is our night now’

i’m not saying that @colmpm.bsky.social is a massive nerd, not by any means, but he has just explained the plot of ‘event horizon’ while confusing the names laurence fishburne and lawrence freedman the entire time

furiously meditating to become more psychically powerful, and using those powers to make those around me unable to hear anything containing 'mid' or ending in '-er'

currently looking for a replacement charger for my old, battered keyboard. have settled on my new year’s resolutions being:

1) get a lot better at gardening
2) learn how to play Warren Zevon’s ‘Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner’ and ‘Werewolves of London’ on piano

don’t understand the middle one - assuming the joke is that you wouldn’t reach the recommended 8-13?

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

wirtz/ekitike combo on two goals… time to get hugely carried away about their chemistry i reckon

the thing i find so weird about it is that it doesn't seem to have that big an impact? i'm thinking of 2004 man utd vs arsenal, or mourinho era chelsea getting up to all sorts of skullduggery - it all was pretty effective! this just comes across as genuine unpleasantness rather than gamesmanship?

martinelli incident tonight just hammers home the fact that arteta has managed to turn a team generally associated with pretty decent football in the premier league era into a team that goes about doing stuff that's both really unpleasant and ultimately ineffectual
