"good riddance" is a polite way of putting it. It'll be more like

Viktor Orban accomplished so much of what the Trump movement wants to accomplish here

he ruled for 16 years and rewrote the rules in his favor

and still, they threw him out

and you know what? they did it by voting

don’t let anyone tell you voting doesn’t matter

Orban defeated and in what looks like a landslide too. A good day for the people of Hungary, the EU and democracy itself.

Trump is a fucking maniac. Anyone who voted for him should hang their head in shame.

Two missing episodes of Doctor Who recovered! Episodes 1 and 3 of The Daleks Masterplan from 1965! This is HUGE news to wake up to! Congratulations to everyone at Film is Fabulous for making this recovery possible.

University of Galway plans to end and replace arts course amid fall-off in interest ‘Urgent’ reform aims to meet changing needs of students as they seek ‘direct routes to employment’

As someone who took an arts degree and works as a teacher of Classics and English, this report is deeply worrying. We are losing sight of the purpose of education.

Its a great thread Brian. A good piece of tech. I'll file the details away for future reference.

New R-Rated Dracula Movie From Acclaimed Director Has Critics & Audiences Very Divided On Rotten Tomatoes Is the new Dracula movie enchanting enough?

There is no love story between Mina and Dracula in Stoker's novel. Reviewers of film adaptations would do well to read the novel first.

Yep. This is why I try to wait till Friday to make transfers, if price rises are not an issue.

A screenshot of Lala and Po from the teletubbies. The screenshot is clearly taken from someone's phone, as the borders of the tv can be seen, as well as glimpses into the apartment behind them. Po is in bed wrapped up in a blanket. The text below them reads "I know you were high at my mother-in-laws funeral..."

More screenshots from the Teletubbies. Lala seems to be upset with a terrified Po. the text below reads "Did you kill the dog? Why would you do that?!"

A third screenshot from the Teletubbies, this time the same scene as before. Po is wearing an apron while Lala seems to still be upset at him. The text below reads "You're nothing but a failure of a man."

In the 2010s, the Icelandic tv station Channel 2 accidentally added subtitles from a gritty crime drama to an episode of Teletubbies.

I have translated some of the highlights

I think I'd sooner go for a safe pair of hands. Someone who knows the club.

I thought so. SIGHS.

But would he be flexible in how he approaches the tactical side of things?

So, another Man United manager bites the dust.

Stares into the distance while waiting for @playingwithdust.bsky.social to suggest an appropriately insulting new managerial appointment...

It's frowned upon?!!!

That would be a VERY short countdown!

Only seeing a deleted post, I'm afraid Brian. Intrigued as to what you were posting me about!

A very Merry Christmas to all! If today is not your thing for any reason (and there can be many), then may it be a peaceful day.

Have a good one!

Luc Besson has made a new movie of "Dracula." In an interview with "The Irish Times" he says what struck him upon re-reading Stoker's novel was the journey Dracula takes over 400 years to be reunited with his wife. I don't know what novel he read, but it wasn't Stoker's. #Dracula #LucBesson

Great culture can save lives. Literally.

Amazing letter in today’s @thetimes.com about Tom Stoppard

Seriously short sighted decision. Really odd, to be honest.

I completely agree with you, Ciara. Four houses on our road have put up decorations already. It's a practice I don't really understand. Christmas is in that's where decorations should stay. To be clear, I love Christmas, and we put up lots of decorations, but not in November!

I would say that 45 minutes without caffeine is impressive. I wouldn't last 15 minutes!

I know. When it's good, it's good.

I think we can start dreaming! #CYBIG

That was a great result for Ireland. Dare we dream...?

Hang it in the Lourve

This year's pumpkin. Happy Halloween!
