Cover for Issue 62 of Uncanny Magazine, art by Maxine Vee titled "Mermay - Golden Hour." In a forest of brown, orange, and golden leaves, a mermaid with orange/gold hair sits on a rock in a small light blue pond. She stares at her open palms, illuminated by a beam of sunlight. Purple flowers in shade lie scattered on the ground in the foreground. The words "January/February 2025" and "Issue Sixty-Two" are at top. The list of credits is on the bottom

New, original films that are under 90 mins and enjoyable.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars.

We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director.

Please stand by for more.

Of course, we *did* have a referendum on this.

In 2021.

Ordered by the UCP government.

And Albertans voted 'No'.

The website is still up.

It says: "The results of the referendum are binding. Alberta will continue changing their clocks twice a year."

Salute to an all-time tweet

Graphic with the text: 44th ANNIVERSARY OF THE CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS.

44 years ago today, the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms was signed into law. It laid the foundation for a stronger, more just Canada.

It is up to us all to protect the values of freedom and equality enshrined in the Charter — to keep building a better Canada, for all.

A Hard Day’s Night, by Samira Ahmed

A few thoughts on my pal @samiraahmeduk.bsky.social’s debut book, a brisk but detailed study of the Beatles film A Hard Day’s Night (1964): 0tralala.blogspot.com/2026/04/a-ha...

They’re not playing the Kings or the Golden Knights. You’re probably fine.

Delighted to announce a north-west screening of Master Plan by Film is Fabulous. 🎞️

I’ll be on a panel with @missingepisodespod.bsky.social to chew over these glorious episodes, plus other brilliant guests!

In The Highlanders, Polly has a running joke of calling Algernon Ffinch “Fuh-Finch”. Has the production code of a Doctor Who story ever featured so heavily in its own dialogue?

1. Fat shaming is mean, even when directed at fictional intergalactic gangsters.

I’ve now watched The Daleks’ Master Plan 1 and 3 a total of four times, twice for recording a podcast, and twice while listening to podcast commentaries. One day, I’ll just watch them…to watch them? Do people do that?

Happy 75th birthday to the great Peter Davison. Wrote a thing:

Cheers to our brave Moon crew.

This is from a bbc docudrama and that is Rebecca Front and Chris Langham, so it is not in fact "George Orwell's last interview".

It's a speech garnered from his works, not a direct quote and this scene is often shared without context, misleading people into thinking it's archive footage.

A guy asking ChatGPT to review a series of fart sound effects and getting a serious kiss ass response that calls it atmospheric

I can't stop laughing at this post. It's perfect.

An almost overwhelming urge to watch the recon of The Daleks’ Master Plan 4 and the existing Episode 5 today. I mean, let’s just keep finding Master Plan episodes.

My moon landing LEGO set arrived.

And I also review the two Master Plan episodes here with Erika. I don’t think I repeated myself too much!

We review the two recovered episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan! And I talk to @tobyhadoke.bsky.social about the wonderful Riverside Studios event!

The Daleks' Master Plan 1 - Recovered! (Lazy Doctor Who 279) Erika and Steven revisit an episode we first reviewed in 2016! Why? Because it’s no longer merely a reconstruction! Two episodes of “The Daleks’ Master Plan” were recently recovered, thanks to the goo...

As promised, when a missing #DoctorWho episode is returned, *we* shall return to re-cover the recovered ep! And here we are! #TheDaleksMasterPlan

Erika made mention of that last night during our first watch. Effortlessly cool.

My favourite Kevin Stoney bit in Devil's Planet is how he sneaks to the back of the room while the Daleks close in on Zephon, who is then executed, and then the next shot is Stoney casually leaning on a console, looking at a screen like a badass.

Sunday on RFS #1062, we’ll be reviewing the two newly recovered episodes of The Daleks’ Master Plan! And we’ll also be talking with @tobyhadoke.bsky.social about the Riverside screening!

Congratulations to Reed Richards, Mister Fantastic, on his call-up to the bigs. (Also pictured, Sue Storm)

Little did I know the only thing that was period accurate was the drums in The Devil's Chord.
