In the hairdressers this morning, I was showing everyone how to look up their family in the 1926 census records. Connecting with your past is such a gorgeous thing to be able to do

GB News headline: GP who asked Muslim woman to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her' is struck off.
Was this GP struck off just because he asked a Muslim woman to remove her veil?
How likely does that sound? 🤷♀️
Did he actually ask her to remove her veil 'because he was struggling to understand her?'
Let's take a look at what really happened based on the tribunal reports...

8 years ago, I told a story which changed my life forever. Shortly after, an old pal from college asked if he could turn it into a film.
So I am DELIGHTED TO ANNOUNCE that 'Me, Myself & Mary' is not only finished, but has been chosen to lead the Tribeca Festival's animated shorts roster this year.
every superhero movie should run with a PSA about how all the cool shit they’re about to see is based on the work of freelancers unsupported by the companies that have exploited their work for decades
As auguries go, that sounds plausible.
And what rough Galvatron,
Its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Unicron to be born?
Nominative determinism at work in the fishing book, certainly!
Were competence a possibility, I’d wonder if BlueSky wasn’t as flaky as it is in order to boost engagement every so often.
Bluesky sort your shit out. I mean this in so many contexts
And now, the FULL TRAILER for THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER.
I’m going to say this trailer “rips.” It might even be “a banger.”
This show has taken four years of my life. You finally get to see it May 7th.
From @victorlavalle.bsky.social, Karyn Kusama, Ridley Scott & me.
LOOK AT THIS CAST!
Prior to his time at Marvel, Wes was also responsible for developing the design of the NCR Veteran Ranger armor. Unbelievably talented.
Honestly it's hard to believe Marvel disbanded this group. I've only worked with a few of their artists in the past, but they're all incredible.
Police officers stand in the street, as tractors block Dublin's O'Connell Street, as part of a protest over the high cost of fuel that clogged up busy thoroughfares and motorways across Ireland for a second successive day, in Dublin, Ireland April 8, 2026
The meta, Meta and meaning of the Irish fuel protests - a longish read about what more than 20 years of studying and covering the far right has taught me about these political moments.

Today in linguistic learnings: the Danish for “defibrillator” is “hjertestarter”.
Which I am 90% certain I’ve heard the Swedish chef utter as he warms up the paddles in a skit involving Gonzo and the chickens.
Deeply jealous and hoping this is enough of a success that it makes it to Ireland.
The full programme & the final round of late bird tickets are now available for the FÍS Games Summit 2026 next week in Galway city! With the final programme we are excited to announce two final speakers on the programme; Gareth Damian Martin & Sybil Collas! Find out more: ardan.ie/event/fis-ga...
Here’s just ONE of the artists Marvel Studios let go today:
Wesley Burt, a brilliant veteran, one of the best in the industry. He made the viral Fantastic Four Valentine’s day card!
He was also pivotal for the look of many films and shows like for example Loki, Black Panther, Avengers and so on!
PLEASE. yall would not believe how much time we lost trying to ensure that Wanderstop's relatively limited use of video cutscenes would run on _just_ pc and steam deck. did you know they're NOT cross-compatible for video????? for some reason

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.
It was also nice to read Herzog killing AI cinema in a single phrase: “It does not acquire the soul of poetry.” (All Herzog quotes must be read in his accent. That’s the rule.)
Cave of Forgotten Dreams, one of the best documentaries I’ve ever watched and almost a justification for 3D cinema in itself is coming to IMAX. I hope it makes it to Dublin, but I’d be willing to travel to see this one.
Opened my podcast app to see that Behind the Bastards is doing Jimmy Saville this week. This is going to be a dark listen…

John McGuirk is not a Christian btw. I feel like I need to put that out there whenever people are dunking on him because I know he seems like a Christian conservative and works for them, but he himself is not a Christian, he's just like that
It is a shameful truth that anyone who knows anything about it can agree with. Not helped by the fact the archaeology museum has had to defend their space from a mooted invasion by the Seanad when the Dáil was getting renovations.
That would be an interesting split all right.
