Suspect the answer is Victoria Coren Mitchell.

If a Graham Linehan-identified male is in a public space, he is committing a violent, abusive act. Make a scene, call the cops and if all else fails, punch him in the balls.

In a social media post, the comedy writer said the Crown Prosecution Service had dropped the case against him but that intended to sue the Met over a claim of wrongful arrest and breach of his human rights.

I kid, I kid. Tim Davie is, as any fule kno, a deeply unserious person. I shall start drafting my complaint already.

If Tim Davie really is serious about banning journalists from wearing symbols connected to campaigns with politicised objectives in the newsroom, then I look forward to a poppy-free viewing experience next month.

Remember when we were all like "just block the arseholes and don't even acknowledge" and it worked really well for like two years? Well here's a really good opportunity to reassert that position

Absolutely. I couldn't imagine playing, say, Rez with 'realistic' graphics.

It's not just you. I've just finished reading a whole article about how awful Apple are at Is design now. It's like the tech industry has read about enshittification and decided that, rather than being a warning, it's actually something to aspire to.
What Happened to Apple's Legendary Attention to Detail?
A long rant about Apple's design choices.

Oh, wait. There's probably Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles books out there too. I always forget about them, because thanks to censors, they were always Heroes to me.

Does it matter if the ninjas are meerkats? There's a whole series of those by Gareth P. Jones.

Only other books I can think of are Lian Hearn's Tales of the Otori series that starts with Across the Nightingale Floor.

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.

It is confusing. Clearly designed by someone who knows that the options mean "[Warning labels] Off", "Warn[ing labels on]", "Hide [tweets with labels]", but they haven't considered how it looks to people who aren't starting with the same knowledge.

Having given this a great deal of thought:

This was my first thought too. I'll have to think of another answer now (I'm very glad I checked replies before I embarrassed myself).

I do have one question, though. If Miss Piggy isn't Gale Weathers, who is?

Can't help but wonder how many people will think you're doing a bit rather than simply respecting how Cummings preferred his name to be capitalised.

It's a crowded field out there, but I do think Hellraiser takes it in the category of "interesting horror concept completely fucked over in search of a franchise".

Watched Hellraiser II last night and have been completely cured of any interest or desire in watching more. Counting myself lucky that the BR set I own is one of the older trilogy sets.

I'm entirely the opposite to you; I knew Tim Curry had a stroke in 2012, and am always surprised to be reminded he didn't die (for context, no-one I knew personally who had a stroke survived, so my brain remembers he had a stroke and erroneously auto completes with death).

Slow zombies: find somewhere remote and well fortified. Just me, no-one else. Other people are how the zombies get in and I die.

Fast zombies: I'm dead. I might have time to say "Argh! Zo-" That's it.

Having to pick what I watch next carefully as it'll be one of my milestone films on Letterboxd and I don't want a trash poster taunting me each time I check on my stats.

Bluesky CEO has taken lessons from Musk school of customer engagement. Has latched on to the "I like pancakes / Oh, so you hate waffles?" meme, responds with WAFFLES to criticism. Waffles have now been turned into a dogwhistle, as the person everyone wants banned has posted a smug waffle photo.

Find myself wondering how many of them have watched Star Trek and realise the implications for their group.

And finally, while comments on what I've got lined up are more than welcome, I can't promise I'll be able to act on them. Too many films, too little time! But I'll do my best.

Not even mentioned yet: options from streaming. Last year had a bit of a focus of giallo. This year, it might be New French Extremity. So that's the Substance from streaming, at least.

Not pictured, but possibly still on the table:

1) Far too many Hammer films to mention
2) The HK horror, which is all still with the main HK collection
3) A semi-random smattering of Rollins
4) Daiei Gothic, and some other Radiance releases

I watched both Hellraiser, and Die Screaming Marianne last year. Their continued presence is thanks to being on box sets where I haven't watched the other titles yet.

(And frankly, despite the title, DSM isn't a horror in the slightest. But I'm assured the rest of the set improves.)
