I forgot that existed. I'm not sure whether that means there are 10 or 11 Saws!

Plausible.

I made it to the end of part 2, but no further.

But what do we know? There's an endless appetite out there for Saw shenanigans!

The Saw franchise is being revived!

Great news. I really feel like we haven't had enough Saw from the (checks notes) *10* previous Saw films.

FYI: SAW co-creator James Wan will be "hugely involved" with the next entry in the series, explains Blumhouse head honcho Jason Blum.

I mean, there is ample evidence that the super-rich like to accumulate more money than they can possibly spend in their lives!

Joe Griffin @thejoegriffin.bsky.social · 3h

So many stupid points in this. My favourite is when he suggests Dave Chappelle wouldn't have done it for the money because he's already rich.

Rich people sell out all the time! They continue to do so after they become rich, because they want to be richer!

I have been criticised for being part of the Riyadh comedy festival. This is why I did it | Omid Djalili

The headlines focus on money, but the gigs were great and I think there are different ways to achieve progress. Art, especially comedy, can be part of that, says stand-up comedian, Omid Djalili.

Do it! Your local library has dvds, and you can request specific titles, which they can source from libraries across the country!

I originally wrote a minidisk player, but I never actually see those in the wild.

NGL, I thought I was going to get cancelled for performing at the Riyadh festival, not this.

I should clarify that I like seeing DVD players. I watched half a movie on DVD just last night!

Homophobes just feel like they're from at least a generation ago. Like DVD players, when I see one, I'm always surprised.

Such a pleasure to do this Q&A for the Word Herding blog.

Time for a Halloween game I like to call... Whose IP Is It Anyway???

A baby in a Chucky outfit but the costume is labelled "Baby Bad Doll"

A Pikachu onesie for a baby, except it's called "Electric Chinchilla"

A "Phantom Hunter" costume that looks suspiciously like a Ghostbuster. I know who I'm gonna call...

"The basket...dominates the room like a dead piece of furniture"
I now imagine that all the other furniture is alive, vivacious, and frequently bursting into song, like in Pee Wee's Playhouse.
