Never became as popular as "ET Phone Home" did it

As this is a repost of a Feb 2023 tweet of mine, found here https://x.com/DemonTomatoDave/status/1623464715077795840?s=19 , I have taken this photo from the No Context E.T. account who posted it there, and who originally I retweeted.

Andrew is a sort of non-prince now, a… well, I’m sure there’s some sort of portmanteau word that would describe him well.

Some good news amidst all the darkness

Hope For The Planet @h4tp.bsky.social · 12d

Australia's humpback whales are doing so well that their population is expected to reach carrying capacity and plateau in the near future--they have not just reached but exceeded pre-whaling numbers. For this to happen with such a long-lived, slow-reproducing species is near miraculous. #goodnews

These whales were hunted to 150 individuals. Now there are 50,000 of them

Once hunted almost to extinction, the population of humpback whales currently migrating down Australia's east coast has bounced back and is now greater than before whaling.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

Is this anything adjacent to the phrase “mammary memory”?

Dave Williams @devilvalleycelt.bsky.social · 19d

I’ll be honest with you, Matt. I was looking closely at the reg plate for longer than I’m happy admitting!

They should do a Colombian remake of Scooby Doo where the gang brings Pablo Escobar to justice and he says "And I would have gotten away with it too, if it weren't for you Medellín kids"

Call me a prude if you want to, but I do think it's really weird to use your conference speech to list your favourite wanking euphemisms

I doubt this is actually true, but I really hope it is because the idea makes me chuckle

Catastrophic subtitling on the 1941 movie "Love on the Dole".

(It should read "She's a strange lass, is our Sal"...)

Still from the 1941 film "Love on the Dole", with the unfortunate subtitle "She's a strange lassie's arsehole".

I wouldn’t exactly call it prayer, but if I were to hear Billy Joel played on the harmonica in the morning (or indeed at any time), the word “CHRIST” would be spoken often
