I don’t watch The Traitors, but I understand there’s someone who claims to be trained by an FBI agent, which sounds like one of those incredible lies that someone at school told, like claiming Clint Eastwood was your uncle, or that they filmed that Terry’s Chocolate Orange advert in your old house.

Here's my theory about America: Nobody in this country learns what they need for life, either from school, parents or anywhere else, so every important lesson is learned by undergoing traumatic events and making terrible mistakes that leave huge emotional scars.

Goddd, Wild Rose is great, innit? I was cool on Hamnet, but she's great in it and hope the Oscar gives her the clout to make loads more like this.

I spent too long as a non-parent to write a show that only worked for parents. This is from Slinky and it's a bit I really love

Again, at this point, I really have to question the intentions of Esther Ghey, a woman whose daughter was killed in an anti-trans hate crime, and immediately set up an organisation in Brianna’s name to campaign against phones, despite Brianna finding community online, and not transphobia.
love how much time effort and money is being put in to ban 13, 14 and 15 year olds from social media which they will definitely still be able to use.
*I'm not calling it a ban for under 16s as under 13s are generally already disallowed use by platforms and hey guess what. it doesn't work.

the best 2020s espionage black comedy is about the construction crew on the White House ballroom gradually realising that they're *all* spies from different countries, except for one undocumented immigrant who has to teach them how to do things

Give it up once more for the funniest TV line of the year, from Legend on Gladiators:
'There is no I in "team"... however there are 5 I's in "individual brilliance"'

This is nice but I feel they’ve missed a trick by not including a cord in her back that you can pull to make her say “Twisted flax please, Victoria”

The Highway Code rule 112b: LED headlights
![[Cartoon strip pastiche of the Highway Code, with illustrations describing the text]
[Title panel]:
The Highway Code
Rule number 112b:
LED headlights
In recent years, many
new cars have been fitted with extra-bright LED headlights.
LED headlights increase safety by illuminating every detail of the road ahead
Including the face of the person driving a metal box towards you at a combined speed of 80mph
Whom you have just blinded with your LED headlights.
LED headlights must be fitted at eye-level on a great big murderous wall of car.
[Show a car crumpling into the front of a high-fronted SUV, bathed in light from the blinding headlamps]
They must be permanently on full beam, because you are insane.
And they should be bright enough to make other drivers think they are ascending into a blinding vortex of alien light
Like them old people in the classic Ron Howard film, Cocoon (1985).
[Show illustration of the final scene where the older people on the boat are being yoinked up into the blindingly-illuminated cloaca of the big spaceship]
So remember: you must use LED headlights
To prevent everyone from not crashing into you.
[Image shows this happening]

Been waiting for this one, love this movie. Have said it before but if you want a Tennant and Sheen vehicle after Staged/Good Omens, a mystery of the week remake of this would be a shout...

Michael Caine was on form as a hapless Holmes in 1988’s Without A Clue. We take a look back at a superb comedy, co-starring Ben Kingsley.

The move towards male/female essentialism in ‘progressive spaces’ is doing a lot of damage. You do not have a right to comfort in public spaces if the only source of your discomfort is someone existing and going about their business. That’s prejudice, not progressivism or safety.
