Focusing on mutuals this time around, and likely to unfollow without a follow-back. And the rich & famous are out unless they want to be my friend, and even then probably not.
Aside from the obvious idiocy of this, it is also the objectively worst version of Judge Dredd, and in that I include the version with a minor character called Judge Pustula.

This trailer is indeed an amazing delight. If you ever enjoyed Davison’s time in the TARDIS, this is a must-watch!
This trailer is amazing - the campaign for a mini season starts HERE!
Season 21 is my favourite, so I’ve been looking forward to this announcement for ages 😍

I finish up my current job in less than two weeks and I’m taking a professional break (all voluntarily). And all I can think about is how many walls I’m going to paint. Bliss.

For the first time since 2020, my top artist on Spotify Wrapped is not Taylor Swift. Yes, I’m Gen X.

I’ve started reading the 1980s revival of The Question and it is glorious. I’d love to know why this isn’t revered alongside Watchmen, which was concurrently published. Either way, I’m in love with it and storming through the whole run.

This is on my wall right now, and visible in all my video calls. It’s lovely stuff.
Last new month of 2025, if you have one my calendars it’s time to start singing Muppets Christmas Carol tunes!

Today is World AIDS Day. The White House ignored the AIDS crisis when it began because a Republican (Reagan) was president. The United States is no longer observing World AIDS Day because another Republican (Trump) is president. #Bigots

I’m in a public place and I just saw a lady of uncertain vintage wearing quite an odd outfit, like she was going horseriding later. I shrugged and then I saw a different older lady in exactly the same outfit. Now I’m wondering if they’re a gang or a convention or something. Maybe they’ll fight.

Really hoping Stranger Things does a Game of Thrones and has somebody go loopy and kill everyone at the end.
Wait… that worked for Blake’s 7…

There’s now a whole Netflix category that’s just “movies and shows I really liked and suddenly lost all interest in”.

Took a break to clean my eavestroughs this afternoon, with the snows a’comin’ in. They were completed full of layered organic matter. It was incredibly satisfying, like eating a Walls Viennetta.

Watching an American doing the Harry Ramsden’s “eating challenge” and talking about mooshy peas and coorie sauce and I’m just thinking it looks like a Friday night in Scotland.

This is good work.
Our holiday tradition is we tell our grandkids that bad kids get sent to the North Pole, are turned into elves, and forced into slave labor to make toys for a year.
It works better than the elf on a shelf bullshit.
All we do is look at their ears and tell them theirs are looking pretty pointy.
