I'm now imagining how Benoit Blanc would enjoy a coffee...

I don't like to be a party pooper, folks, but I'm afraid this (the latest ep) still isn't up on Apple Podcasts. Are we boycotting them? Or do they need a kick up the arse?

We're once again making a great case for why we shouldn't be allowed to go anywhere. Then again, I did this in the home, so maybe I shouldn't be allowed to leave my bed. 😂

It's been a while since I did myself an injury through clumsiness, so I suppose I was due. I knew you'd appreciate it! 🤦‍♀️

When you just wanted to have a cheeky pre-tea snack but, instead, end up smashing your favourite espresso cup and cutting your finger in the process. This one's for you @nyniamhsedai.bsky.social

Line of Duty series 7! This is not a drill!!!

I watched A House of Dynamite.

Now, I'm going to hit up the internet for some cute puppy videos or something.

Danish PM warns security situation in Europe will get worse and more serious – Europe live Mette Frederiksen says Europe faces threats arising from the ‘real war’ in Ukraine and a new, broader hybrid war

When the official emergency warning system alerts on your phone, and it's not a test 😬

They're beautiful 😍

You know I deeply approve of this creative emoji usage. 🎉

Ahhh, that evergreen problem: unsupervised teenagers. 🤣

Too much sleeve, too little saving.

Oh wow - that's stunning! You had some seriously fancy ancestors. 😍

Boo! No fun! I will definitely add to my mental list of 'museums to visit' though.

Oooh, which museum?

*Race Against Time. ❤️

Hurricane Katrina: Race Against Time review – a gripping, epic look at the New Orleans tragedy 20 years on Traci A Curry’s documentary explores how political impotence, media distortion and America’s racial polarisation turned a disaster into something much worse

I want to recommend Nat Geo's Hurricane Katrina: Racers Against Time (on Disney+ in Europe). It's an appropriately hard-hitting but important watch, and it shows - as one of the interviewees put it so well - how Katrina went from a disaster to a tragedy. www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Yo @wheeltakespod.bsky.social!

I saw Avatar in 2009, and I liked it - the visuals especially - but I feel so meh about the whole franchise. Luckily my FOMO is non-existent in this regard; I'm getting lazy in my old age.

I'm pleased it's not just me. 😂

I saw the new Avatar trailer in the cinema last week, and it got me thinking, so here's my hot take: James Cameron hasn't made a truly great film since 1991. Maybe 1994 if I want to include True Lies...

I’m witnessing the deliberate starvation of Gaza’s children – why is the world letting it happen? | Nick Maynard A permanent ceasefire, the free and safe flow of aid, and the lifting of the blockade are needed now – all could be achieved with political will, says UK surgeon Nick Maynard

Thumbnail for the Babble On podcast discussion of Babylon 5 episode “Mind War.” Two large background images: on the left, Jason Ironheart glowing and holding his hand to his chest, and on the right, Bester (Walter Koenig) looking serious. Smaller background images, left to right: Talia Winters looking concerned, Sinclair gesturing with one hand, G’Kar looking intense, Catherine looking worried, Ivanova glancing sideways, Garibaldi looking serious, and a female Psi-Cop in uniform. In the foreground are podcast hosts reacting: Jenn speaking into a microphone, Jenny depicted as her Lezbi Nerdy avatar gesturing dramatically, Ali smiling with a hand raised, and Gus laughing into a microphone. Text reads “Babble On Talks: Mind War” over an orange gradient background.

Our Mind War podcast is up!
We dig into Bester’s epic debut, Ironheart’s cosmic glow-up, and G’Kar saving the day.

Catherine ventures into cosmic horror territory, and Ali is smug about being right.

Two governments took The News Agents to secret court for two years via a constitutionally unprecedented superinjunction to stop you from hearing this story.

Cockroach Vader with an Arm Cannon!

After the disappointment of The Old Guard 2 earlier in the week, I'm happy to report that Heads of State, while deeply silly, is also a bunch of fun. Perfect viewing for a Friday night.

My beloved laptop is almost 12 years old and, as it is not fond of 30+ degree heat, I have selflessly given up my tiny desk fan so it can have the fresh breeze. I'm basically a saint. 😇
