Why does this look like a poster for a Disney film where Tom York is the new principal in school for gifted loners? #straighttodisneyadd

Put on Lande Hekt's House Without A View for the first time in a while and I still know every lyric.

It was played on Lamacq's show yesterday, I think she posted on Instagram exactly when her song comes in.

Is Shrewsbury the only place he's doing two nights? I have so many questions.

This is the maddest tour I've ever seen in my life. It seems like he's doing more gigs than there are days in the year.

it's mad that the Beatles went from Love Me Do to Tomorrow Never Knows in just four years. There are bands now who spend that long getting a snare sound.

Two of the those Marvel movies I only saw because I was taken to the cinema. Guardians Of The Galaxy is one of the worst films of all time and I will die on that hill (also didn't know what it was until I was sitting there watching it). Couldn't name a Taylor Swift song either.

Tons and tons of stuff. I've seen three Marvel movies and I avoid sci fi like the plague. I know virtually no chart pop music released in the 21st century.

Inspired by a post I just saw in which someone admitted they hadn’t seen a single episode of Friends nor the film Love Actually… what cultural hole do you have that’s a bit weird for your generation?

I’ll go first: I haven’t seen Dirty Dancing.

Tim @timahall.bsky.social · 6d

You know more Taylor Swift than me.

YES. Can't stand it.

Anon Opin @anonopin.bsky.social · 7d

Too many platforms display times and dates as relative. "1 year ago" could mean anything from 365 days to 730 days ago. Instagram is the worst with their "137 weeks ago" nonsense. Who refers to anything like that? Just always show me the date and time.

Exactly! what the fuck does it have to do with Israel, unless we're conflating Jewishness and an aparteid state currently doing a genocide to be the same thing? Sounds a bit antisemitic to me!

Jack @jackinpogform.bsky.social · 8d

Responding to an act of terrorism perpetrated by an English citizen against the English Jewish community in England with 'this is why we need to be nice to Israel' is disgusting. I'm sorry if its not my place to say but that is just fucking disgusting.
