I think my weather app just quickly added 'rain' to the forecast and is now pretending it was there all along.

Silent movies were a passing fad. The trend didn't last long because it was a lot of trouble for the film makers to remove all the sound and audiences found it easier to follow the story if they could hear it while they were looking at their phone.

One time a writer friend of mine got too drunk and sobbed bc she said there were too many books in the world she wouldn’t have time to read, and this guy down the bar said, ladies—he isn’t worth it and my friend yelled IM CRYING ABOUT BOOKS and that shut the guy up

Just realised that The Beatles aren't really famous, I've just been living in a social media bubble.

If I was going to die I'd like to go like this: disintegrating into a thrashing pile of spare parts before some men with a stretcher appear comically quickly and take the pieces away.

Fun food fact: Baby carrots are not actually made from babies. They taste quite different. In France they legally must be called 'baby-style vegetable product.'

Y'know a lot of time and money could be saved if you replaced the whole court/justice system with Santa Claus - he knows who's been naughty etc.

The only serious contender with Shada + The Daleks (1st Dalek story) for “most versions you can buy of the same tale”. What’s mad is that a proposed graphic novel of Genesis wasn’t approved, but LOOK AT THE ART!!!

Is capitalism a skinner box? I feel like Bitcoin and NFTs and maybe even the stock market work like a skinner box.

There's probably a word in German for the rush of joy you get when you're reminded of something you once really enjoyed but then completely forgot existed.

If you told the kids today that there was a TV detective whose thing was that he was bald and his other thing was that he was always sucking a lollipop and his other thing was that his catchphrase was "Who loves ya baby?" they wouldn't believe you.

I appreciate that fans are trying to feel positive but I remember 1989 when the BBC were saying identical things about finding an outside production company to make Doctor Who for them. I think it will be a long wait for any new episodes.
