Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 25/09/2026My hot take on this is that comedies, out and out ones that is, shouldn't be on lists like this. Comedies tend to date very quickly and what can capture a moment in say 2001 looks tired and dull buy 2026 100
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 18/09/2026Yeah I wonder if we've reached a point of no return with towns like this. Actual anarchy while the authorities are so terrified of any sort of confrontation or condemnation 150

Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 23/08/2026My low-key conspiracy theory is that the LLM in Google's search results is deliberately underpowered to make LLMs as a whole look bad and to set expectations lower, as well as make competitors look bad by association (yes I know the actual reason is cost & speed) 231
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 22/08/2026I don't doubt they are snivelling little freaks for one second, but isn't the whole reason they call themselves "race realists" not just a euphemism, but so you reply "what's a race realist?" and they get a chance to do their bit? 020
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The problem with this kind of person is they are unparodyable, their narcissism and eagerness to provoke means they can never be outdone 010

Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 12/08/2026Actually surprised there hasn't been a big dumb heist movie where the only opportunity for when the theft can be made is during totality of a solar eclipse 010
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Extremely amused to see there is a 6K-strong London WhatsApp group of people trying to find eclipse glasses for tomorrow, like an astronomy nerd version of the 2021 Wembley Jib 120
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Having just returned from a holiday & a climb of Ben Nevis, the sight of the summit radicalised me - graffiti and stickers everywhere, even a padlock on the trig point - all twee shit like this should be classed for what it is which is just posh littering 813119

Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 10/08/2026"Actually we went quite close to some real Bronze Age remains, but we avoided Dobby's grave" is an insane statement 062
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 04/08/2026May be just a coincidence but lately have seen an uptick of posts of what perhaps should be called "reverse bank of mum and dad" - adult children being asked to bail out their parents by buying property for them to live in (while also having to manage their own housing costs) 110
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 03/08/2026Hysterical to me that the biggest bogeyman in America right now, what gets even the most milquetoast liberals manning the barricades and calling for direct action, is... a company that makes ANPR cameras. Absolutely car-brained to death 2141

Reposted by Chris ApplegateStephen Bush @stephenkb.bsky.social · 13/07/2026Much of the coverage of Ann Widdecombe's death is just voyeurism justified by the fact she was a politician and it may therefore be a 'political' story. Think it's just crass rubbernecking featuring frankly excessive detail in many cases. 2975584
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 11/07/2026You'd never go broke overestimating how po-faced the UK rightwing commentariat is. There's a thin-skinnedness there, combined with a determination that as long as they're not having fun, no one can, that can only come from being constantly online 011
Chris Applegate @chrisapplegate.bsky.social · 05/07/2026Nothing has staggered me on holiday in France more than the fact the company we call Autoglass in the UK is called Carglass here. Surely it should be the other way round? 360
