This happens to me every day. And they're actually asking me to break the law by going way over safe temperature. Sometimes they just want it to stay hot while they gab for hours, but some I honestly think are enjoying the taste of their own burnt mouth flesh rather than the drink itself.
Dr Who occasionally crops up on my feed and the comments are always full of people suggesting actors for the Doctor, and every suggestion is always bonkers bullshit. Sometimes fans should be kept away from their TV shows. It's like the show ferments in their heads, and replaces the real one.
me sowing distrust in mainstream media to facilitate the rise of the popular right: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!
me watching the rise of a populist left: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.
Very sad news about Rob Grant, who, along with Doug Naylor created the long running comedy series Red Dwarf.
He passed away on Wednesday, Rob was a very funny man with a talent for stinging reposts.
Sad to hear about Rob Grant, co-creator of Red Dwarf.
Nazi supporting paper says what?
Remember when Andrew's worst scandal was being photographed sucking his wife's toes on holiday?
= Hollywood REPORTER SUBSCRIBE Yes, you were inspired by history books, including the use of pretext. Yeah, it's the same shit all the time. Get rid of truth, get rid of a free press, destroy communities, nationalize the businesses, find an arbitrary enemy that you can elevate and false flag them through propaganda. Flood the zone with as much gak and atrocity as you can so that nobody can pay attention to what just happened, and pray that you have an overwhelming majority of sheep that will follow you. It's just tragically and sadly familiar. It's on them; it's not on us.
Hollywood SUBSCRIBE REPORTER they have that kind of game. Everyone's wondering, "Why is Silicon Valley going along with all this? Why hasn't anybody raised their hand?" And I think that there's a much more terrifying tech reich that's lurking in the background of all of this. That is actually sophisticated, and I don't think the Trump people are in control of any of that.

So you get out your Fascism for Dummies book for the 15 things you do, and we tried to include as many of them as we could in the most artful way possible. How were we supposed to know that this clown car in Washington was going to basically use the same book that we used? So I don't think it's prescience so much as the sad familiarity of fascism and the karaoke menu of things that you go through to do it. You could list them from the show, or you could list them from the newspaper.
Tony Gilroy, creator of Andor, wasn’t allowed to use the word “fascism” during press junkets in 2025.
Interesting interview in The Hollywood Reporter.

Just read Service Model by @aptshadow.bsky.social and John Sladek's Tik Tok back to back. Both superb visions of two morally different robots finding their place in their world. Thoroughly recommend.
The media is so servile. It took one comment by Starmer and now Mandelson is on the sidelines and we have wall to wall coverage of the racism of a football club owner. No-one fucking cares.
This is a raffle prize at my son's school. Should I be calling child services?
God level
Hey boss, pick up this turd.
Ok, but I'm covered in shit now.
Sorry boss, I forgot you're not responsible for your own actions. I'll fall on my sword now, bye!

McSweeney quits as PM's chief of staff, takes 'full responsibility' for advising Mandelson appointment
Although, were they all sackings? Can't remember.
Give him ten years he'll be back again... Again... (Checks notes) Again. Minister for inappropriate political resurrections.
Another day, another Mandelson resignation.
10/10 no noots
Just watched this live on TV now. Don't know Newsom well, but it's refreshing to hear people talk like this.

I didn't have a #DoctorWho phase as a child, but you'd be forgiven for thinking it.
Scott Adams has died. He spent the last decade being a massive prick. But Dilbert was, until nearer the end, one of the greatest cartoon strips ever, and will always have a place in my heart, regardless of who Adams ended up becoming.

Just did the same thing.
There is no pretence anywhere anymore.
Ah... so... how about...
I reckon you can go through life with a 90% reduction in your lexicon. Works for the smurfs. As long as you know context, you can work out anything anyone is saying. Smurf. Smurfing smurf.
Christ, #Noem is full of shit.
I wonder what Starmer's unopinion is on the murder committed by Trump's brownshirts?
