Comparison between the original and updated versions of the Doctor Who story The Warriors of the Deep featuring the Myrka, a reptilian monster. Whilst the updated version is scarier and better like it lakes the charm of original despite it being totally ridiculous, using a costume that fell to bits on set and was operated by two guys who normally performed as a pantomime horse.

Look how they massacred my boy!

The head of the British Music Hall Society told me that they have warehouses full of bequeathed memorabilia and nothing to do with it, their average member is 80 y/o and their youngest is in their 50s

This is what I think about when I see flag-shaggers pretending to be "defending British culture."

Being British is knowing the difference between a Tesco, a big Tesco, and a little Tesco.

Lee Cronin's The Mummy... more like Lee Cronin's A Dummy! Because he's made a bad film! I am right!? I'm here all week, tell you're friends. How's the chicken? Hope it's not rotten... like this movie! A right stiff! Just dead on arrival! Etc. Etc.

This also works at funerals... Don't go up to the graveside and blend in with the crowd, lurk half behind a tree a good distance away but still easily spottable.

Ah! 19 April – 126th anniversary of the day William Butler Yeats kicked Aleister Crowley downstairs as they fought for control of the British branch of the not-at-all-ridiculous Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn in the Battle of Blythe Road. According to legend, anyway... 🧵

Asked about JK Rowling’s opposition to trans rights, Dugdale said: “I have a huge respect for JK Rowling. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting her before and I think her story and how she came to be this prolific, incredible children’s writer in this city as a single mum writing in a cafe is phenomenal and an inspiration to so many women across the world. “I think she’s been a really powerful political advocate [for] improving the lot of single mums, making a case for tackling poverty and inequality in all its forms, and there is absolutely a place for her in public life to share her experiences and tell her story and make a difference.”

@baddestmamajama My closest encounter with the mafia is I went to a starkly empty pizza place in Rhode Island once, they seemed utterly confused that I wanted a pizza, it took 45 minutes to make, they gave it to me for free, and it was the best pizza I’d ever had.

without lionizing Leo XIV too much, i think people are brought up short by encountering someone in a position of authority who seems to have commitments to stable concepts of right and wrong that supersede class loyalty to other powerful people (which is largely the same as what Dan is saying)

The fact that Mamdani just seems like a cheerful normal guy who's policies are things like "we're going to tax second homes to fund pothole repairs" or whatever and yet this generates panicked responses like "This is basically Stalin's great purge turned up to eleven" is... telling. It tells things.

Don't forget there's about 500 episodes of television on top of that as well. (I rewatched all the main films before Infinity War and that seemed a hell of a lot but was only about 20... I've only watched the odd one or two since and don't really feel like playing catch-up)
