Sciatica hurting so much but I'm also floating above it and somehow my legs feel ill? I'd like to go to sleep, if that's ok.

British elder millennials collectively need therapy.

Screenshot of a David Jenkins quote-tweet where he says “Yes. I’m in.” The quoted tweet says “Here's an idea: Sherlock remake but this time it's created by @david jenkins_ with Taika as Sherlock and Rhys as Watson.”

I think about this not infrequently

Oh wow ok 100mg at a time of pregabalin is interesting. 😵‍💫

Have been reading The Power Fantasy for the first time and lol remember when I thought Journey Into Mystery was depressing?

A timeline cleanse:

I went to change my snow tires to summer tires this afternoon...

And discovered I've got a raccoon nursery in my shed.

While I understand the health motivation for this, and I really do, I remain deeply uncomfortable about the idea that we can create a subsidiary group of adults who don’t have all the same freedoms as other adults (yes, even to chose to do stupid dangerous shit). 1/2

everyone with real American manliness and a basic knowledge of military history knows that serious war efforts have never been derailed by such trifling matters as "communicable diseases"

When you consider that a lot of their jokes are coming up with the silliest thing you can randomly think of in that moment I do wonder how many Pythons had ADHD.

you're only supposed to upload non-free images to wikimedia commons as a last resort (even when the pics would clearly fall under "fair use"). and some editors end up explaining their reasoning VERY thoroughly when doing so

Do you ever forget that Stede is a weird name?

Mallory is like twiddly diddly dee alas courtly love excuse me while I SLICE THIS MAN'S SCALP OFF WITH A POINTED STICK WHILE HE'S STILL ALIVE forsooth!

(Terry Jones would have written this post better.)

I think I've seen Holy Grail once and my main memory is that the bit with the guy who gets his limbs cut off is not that far off how absurdly violent La Morte d'Arthur actually is. Really only A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms has also captured how phenomenally dangerous jousting was, for me.

Also I've just never really been into comedy that much!

I did end up referencing the bit in Hitchhiker's about the notice being in a basement behind a door that said "beware of the leopard" later in the call though so my life hasn't all been in vain.

It wasn't really repeated when I was a kid! Not like Fawlty Towers which was somehow on continuously despite having about eight episodes. I've seen Life of Brian and some famous moments, obviously, I'm not a barbarian but if she didn't raise me right it's not my fault!!

My mum referenced a Monty Python sketch on the phone with me and when I didn't recognise it I think she momentarily wondered who gave birth to me.

Hi there. I just learned that while the name “Stede” is often labeled with the horse-y meaning (Steed), it is ALSO derivative from the word “Stead” as used in “homestead” or “place”.

I like the idea that Stede is his own home. Once he finds himself - who he really is - he is always Home.

It's really annoyed me that I've not been able to come up with a good Grant Morrison/Animal Man joke about this movie and believe me I've tried.

That poor pencil is going to traumatise children as is right and good.

Is this silk? ❦ Oh no. That's actually a rather exquisite cashmere.

Noor-un-Nisa Inayat Khan (1914 – 1944) was a British agent in France in the Second World War who served in the Special Operations Executive. She became the first female wireless operator to be sent from the UK into occupied France to aid the French Resistance during WW2. #CelebratingWomen

love bluesky because the replies to this post immediately descend into people fighting about whether the minions would have worked for stalin

I don't know if this is because they like Vlad over there or they just googled "Romania" and no one has noticed yet.

While in traffic this morning I noticed that amongst all the photos of food etc on the window of a Romanian supermarket there was the logo from Bram Stoker's Dracula.

This is mentioned in OP's thread but I had a good think and although I sometimes trifle with the timelines splitting off/Berenstain Bears thing the only thing I believe 100% is that Scientology got its claws into Tom Cruise because of gay stuff.

lady if you don't know EVEN ONE man who would play along with a chatty toddler in line in front of him at the grocery store checkout, I'm gonna assume you're just a magnet for trash men

"did I get to hold a baby at any point, y/n" is like my dad's #1 assessment for whether the day was a success
