So I see we have another Doctor Who wedding. The Master has married Rani. www.vogue.co.uk/gallery/anjl...

The couple held a Hindu and a Western ceremony on the same day at their Tuscan wedding celebrations.

Which is why we only very rarely get any publisher pushback. Mostly it's publishers and creators requesting such. BC only posts specifically chosen and curated spoiler for those who want them, behind strong spoiler warnings and imagery.

Not surprising to see. I’ve been saying for a bit that #marvel needs to pay talent like Bendis to return. I’d like to have a more balanced pull list again.

Okay now there are ads for another politician described ass 100% MAGA, wrong for New Jersey. And I'm thinking, these attack ads would really, really work on some audiences as positive ads.

Rich Johnston @richjohnston.bsky.social · 26d

Using NordVPN, watching YouTube, I get all these political attack ads against someone called Mikie Sherrell, who I am starting to like more and more. Apparently, she is in favour of greener energy and not banning schools from saying some people are gay. And that's it.

Thanks a ton to @richjohnston.bsky.social from @bleedingcool.com for his thoughtful write up on our EVEL KNIEVEL book:

"When I was a kid in the 70s in the UK, the most famous American, more than Neil Armstrong, more than the President, more than Elvis Presley or Harrison Ford, was Evel Knievel."

But in 2020, the pilot for family sitcom Pandemonium, later the 2022 series Here We Go, written by and co-starring Tom Basden, with a third series just released, starts every single episode in the middle, before flashing back to the beginning.

Rich Johnston @richjohnston.bsky.social · Sep 13

In the BBC 2014 sitcom W1A, writer Dan Shepherd, played by Tom Basden, is told about his family sitcom script Home Truths, "Is there a way of maybe starting in the middle here? Instead of at the beginning?" It is meant to be a nonsense description from a BBC producer.
