Since y'all asked nicely, here's my complete history of Robin of Sherwood. One of the finest TV shows ever made. Hugely influential. Most modern cinematic/TV Robin Hood tropes trace back to it.
As Herne would say:
"Nothing is forgotten. Nothing is ever forgotten."

Our big look at why clickbait articles on accessibility at airports are ill-informed or wrong and, frankly, often tinged with racism.
The air industry has a duty to call this out, and admit it contributes to the perception by creating airport environments hostile to even minor mobility issues.

Disabled passengers, airport wheelchairs and the pernicious myth of “Jetway Jesus”
Clickbait hacks aside, perpetuating inaccuracies about disabled passengers and wheelchair users is wrong — and counterproductive for aviation

How likely is ‘likely’? Does ‘likely’ have a higher probability than ‘probable’? I put together a quick quiz so you can see how you interpret probability phrases, then see how you compare with others: probability.kucharski.io

Idle thoughts about New Year’s resolutions. I think the problem (and I am so bad for this) with resolutions js that we never remember who we are when we make them.

Don't even get me started on embroidery. Crocheters and knitters file a restraining order on any embroiderer they meet as a matter of principle.

Tonight's Low Quality Ad is for this Anglerfish Crochet Kit. This is a crochet kit. It is not a knitting kit. It's an important distinction. You might think people who crochet and people who knit would get along, but you'd be wrong. They despise each other.

This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Please share this post. I have made a deal with the devil where he will turn me back into a slug if I get 100,000 followers on here. I miss being a slug. I did not have to pay taxes. I had no idea who Katy Perry was. I slithered around aimlessly, not knowing salt would make me die a horrific death.

Since everything is awful and it’s nearly Christmas, who’d like some pictures of ship’s cats? Don’t worry dog lovers, a canine thread’s coming soon! Let’s start with Tiddles, sitting in his favourite spot on the carrier HMS Victorious in 1943 (he liked playing with the bell rope)
