@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social always have something great to watch; tonight 11.35pm, they've got a classic for the ages in 1932's The Most Dangerous Game. I reviewed this off a poor print on Amazon Prime, so hopeful that the #TalkingPicturesTV crew will do better!

2,400 years ago, this terracotta plate with models of food was placed in a tomb to provide sustenance for the deceased in the afterlife ~ pomegranates, grapes, figs, nuts, cheeses, and breads (Paestum, southern Italy) www.reddit.com/r/Sarcophagu....
NEXT SUNDAY! All Remembered Mothers' names to me please by 10p.m Saturday 14th. Reposts appreciated.
just listened to a very interesting emergency episode of the rest is politics, which was particularly insightful about using fake evidence to launch an illegal war
Great Characters Make Mistakes. And fail. And take punches. No one loves an indestructible guy who always has the upper hand.
The more time I spend on social media, the more I am convinced I'm going to apply for one of those remote jobs to count Puffins on a Scottish island or something
My neighbour’s old Shiver & Shakes, Whoopees and Busters; Krazy and its spin-off Cheeky; Mad & Crazy; Captain Britain and a bunch of Marvel reprints; 2000AD, Starlord, Tornado… Man alive, there were so many worlds to discover.
Marvel UK reprints meant that teachers were baffled as to why an eight year-old knew words like 'pariah' and slightly held it against me.
Brits: Please scream. This is a Labour govt proposing to hand the property of individual British workers to largely US corporations.

Well this is a fucking disaster, especially for book publishing.
Note: these are the very same companies that publishers are in conversations with, developing projects and selling content to (won't need to worry when they can legally steal it).
BlueSky: the social media network for kids who were excited when it was a Wet Playtime.
Massive congrats! Thoroughly deserved, too!

Having a writers coffee sesh and our coffee artist is knocking it out of the ball park (this was a request for Cthulhu):
You'd think Reform would be delighted that a white, working class plumber got elected and they beat the metropolitan elite university lecturer.
As someone who had an extremely delicate sinus surgery in December 2024 I am extremely thankful it was before we had the stupidity to start offshoring the intelligence and accuracy of surgeons

Screenshot from Tumblr User hatingongodot: “In 1404, King Taejong fell from his horse during a hunting expedition. Embarrassed, looking to his left and right, he commanded, “Do not let the historian find out about this.” To his disappointment, the historian accompanying the hunting party included these words in the annals, in addition to a description of the king’s fall.“ LMFAOOOOOO rip to that guy User Shitacademicswrite: i thought maybe this was fake, but there’s even a citation! Taejong Sillok Book 7. 5th year of King Taejong’s Reign (1404), February 8.
Never forget the anniversary of King Taejong falling off his horse!
THE LOOKING GLASS WAR is my favourite Le Carre book and film adaptation. I wrote about why on my Substack a while ago

Right, but just to clarify, you did not appoint Peter Mandelson, because you were not Prime Minister.

In the most important news today, @nigella.bsky.social is joining @ftweekend.com as a food and drink columnist! She joins @harrietfl.ft.com's shock and awe roster of @marinaoloughlin.bsky.social @jayrayner1.bsky.social, Tim Hayward and Jancis Robinson aboutus.ft.com/press_releas...
Quick reminder that, for me, axing Prime has done nothing but saved money and reduced the amount of plastic tat impulse buys.
Yes, some companies still sell exclusively on Amazon but the majority of its offerings are widely available elsewhere and often for less money.
the main reason it would be good for starmer to go over mandelson/epstein is that it would absolutely infuriate a lot of americans on bsky dot app that the british have the moral high ground over them
The guy who owns Amazon shutting down the books section of the Washington Post is beyond parody
