A job offering by Giant Freaking Robot to hire a freelance writer who hates Starfleet Academy to write hate articles about the show

Don't ever take this site or anything it publishes seriously. It is actively looking to hire people who hate Starfleet Academy to write about it.

As of 8 pm on 10.3.2026, this is live on LinkedIn.

Ask me again why I think the anti-SFA sentiment is manufactured.

Glasgow Central: Building collapses at station as fire causes major disruption Dozens of services have since been cancelled and the station will be closed until further notice.

Incredibly surreal night in Glasgow, the whole city smells of smoke while everyone is just kind of going around their Sunday night as best they can

Harry Sullivan Fucks A Fish

LORD ALMIGHTY, the new Elvis concert film, EPIC is an absolute belter in IMAX. Captures the agony and the ecstasy of the man, and the sheer power of the performer. It's borderline spiritual.

George Romero. When Richard Matheson - author of 'I Am Legend' - saw 'Night of the Living Dead', he chided his friend Romero. 'It's a bit familiar, George'. 'Don't worry, Dick,' Romero later told Matheson. 'I didn't make any money from it.’ #georgeromero #illustration

Shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that the awkward man who made his living interviewing difficult people is himself, awkward and difficult in interviews.

The martial arts scenes in It’s A Wonderful Life were a key influence on The Matrix

Directing Duo Nathan & Ben McQuaid on First Feature Welcome To G-Town | GFF26 YouTube video by GlasgowFilmFestival

Ben and Nathan McQuaid said they pitched Welcome to G-Town as if Bill Forsyth directed Bad Taste and they delivered! More from the twin brothers directing duo here, questions by me, editing by @wretchedmorgan.bsky.social

A clickbait headline which reads "Film icon looks unrecognisable at 77 in rare sighting" over a picture of Star Trek's Brent Spiner

Ah yes, the famously reclusive Star Trek actor and podcaster, Brent Spiner

Making my child dress as Richard Osman for World Book Day

world-altering decisions are being made by a cabal of gambling addicts hell bent on self enrichment no matter the cost to humanity, we should look into that.

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

The entire millennial identity is being prepared and groomed for a version of the world that stopped existing by the time we reached it
