I don’t think I’m ever going to get the appeal of pivoting to video for podcasts. I’ve been listening to podcasts for 20 years, and never once have I thought, my God, I need to SEE these people! I’m on a walk or doing the dishes, I don’t need video.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Oh he's weird and wonderful. Have a brilliant time! Well worth a look at some older YouTube vids - 'How to socialise' and 'Miami' are absolute war worms! 👌

I can't work out the maths. Are 38 year olds are grandparents? That must be pretty unusual surely? 🤯 I grew up very aware of Play School despite it finishing when I was 2. Definitely existed in the cultural zeitgeist beyond it's broadcast years. Now don't get me started on Play Days ending 💔

I really cannot think of a greater honor than to have the Muppets say this about you upon your passing
Instagram post from the official Muppets account: Few humans have earned the title of honorary Muppet more than the legendary Tim Curry. As a performer he was unparalleled - witty, charming, unnerving, and deeply funny. We will always consider it one of our greatest treasures to have been part of Long John Silver’s crew. Thank you for everything, Tim.

Oh Frank 💔 I've loved Rocky Horror for over 20 years - Tim Curry played some absolutely iconic roles. RIP. #TimCurry #FrankNFurter #RockyHorror

Only did well in my A-Levels because my family was 'going through some stuff' so I revised as a coping mechanism/trauma response. Don't recommend it if I'm honest. Did better than anyone predicted and... have never needed them. Good luck today's cohort...life takes all sorts of twists, you'll be ok!

I wouldn't call myself a cartoonist, but I had the vision and just needed it to be on paper to the best of my ability.
A hand drawn eight panel cartoon. First two panels are a colander sitting frowning on a shelf. Then the colander is frowning straining pasta, then three more panels of frowning sitting on a shelf. Then a big panel where it's projecting a bunch of crescent eclipse shapes and smiling with speech bubbles around saying "Wow! Look! Amazing! Beautiful!" And then one final panel where it's sitting on a shelf smiling.
