But was Harold still wearing the plaid shirt when Hawk found him strung up? Because you know what they say...
The bottom half of Harold Smith's body, hanging in his orchid room. RIP Lenny Harold Von Dohlen IV, who also played the geek in Electric Dreams (1984). He was married to writer and playwright James Still. He had a mother and a sister called Gay.

Having learned that, my next task was to look Ally up using my recent digital subscription to the British Newspaper Archive. He's all over those antique rags! Here is a fun piece on the reason for Ally's appeal to the common man, from the Coventry Herald & Free Press, 29/10/1886. [2/2]
A page from the Coventry Herald & Free Press, 29/10/1886, containing an article on Ally Sloper. The article is way too long for me to type out, and wouldn't fit within the alt text character limit even if I could be bothered. Sorry!

'Asked if Starmer did plan to step down on Monday, [Peter] Kyle said he had no reason to think this was the case. He said that Starmer would be reflecting on “what putting country first means in a moment like this”.'

Does anyone else get this in the Android #Wikipedia app? About 10% of the time that I click on a Wikipedia link from an external site, causing the app to be invoked, the main image from the previous article that I was reading persists, while the text is correct. The effects are always magical.
The Wikipedia article for British songstrel and actress Hazel O'Connor, headed by a picture that looks curiously like that of Stormin' Norman Schwarzkopf

Yes, please: I would like to see John Malkovich and Sam Rockwell as fellow CIA agents, with Tom Waits as Malkovich's brother. And Steve Buscemi as the Easter bunny or somethin #WildHorseNine

When Tim Horton[']s removed the apostrophe from its official logo, that was not a clumsy mistake but a capitulation to Quebec's Charte de la Langue Française, because French possessives don't got no apostrophes. But that is no excuse to completely shit on the apostrophe, as here, à la greengrocer.

I loved your talk with @dallasgoldtooth.bsky.social! I have been a fan since watching Reservation Dogs, and I think William "Spirit" Knifeman is one of the great comic characters of all time. I wasn't expecting his chosen topic to be animé! There is a typo in his name in your episode title, though.
The episode title is "FALLOUT star Dallas Goldtooh".

I asked Gemini what they might be there for, and one of the things that it focused on was that part of the 2026 National Defense Authorization Act was about keeping those septuagenarian KC-135s in the air, so now they're having to increase the missions in those planes to keep the crews certified.

I'm amazed that these planes are still in operation. According to Wikipedia, they were only manufactured between 1955 and 1965, and the oldest one still in active use was built in 1957. Also, parts of the notorious refuelling sequence at the start of Dr. Strangelove were of the same plane.
Screenshot of part of a blog about the Dr. Strangelove refuelling sequence.

For anyone whose mourning gland is already squirting sad hormones into their bloodstream in anticipation of the impending end of @marcmaron.bsky.social's #WTF podcast, today's (unusually short: <2-hr) episode of @blankcheck.bsky.social features Marc talking about A Serious Man, and it's great! 🗡️🐇

If you want to jot down a musical note and you have only your phone to hand, what do you do? The best system I've found is #ABCnotation, which uses only ASCII characters, and the best Android app I've found for it is À La Mode. It instantly transforms the ABC into a score and lets you play it! [1/2]

Donald Trump asking all Americans to pray for Charlie Kirk is like fucking Satan asking all Americans to pray for Charlie Kirk. Let's hope that Kash Patel uses all of the experience and aptitude that earned him the FBI Director post to hunt down the perpetrator and any others with similar aims.

The simple line-art drawings of the colouring books released to accompany the flawed but wonderful David #Lynch #Dune (1984) make clear the structure of the Third-Stage Navigator in a way that the film itself did not. And now you have a name for that special part of your anatomy, chaps! #LynchDune
A slightly yellowed page from a 1984 Dune colouring book (ready for your crayons)! The caption reads: “The Third-Stage Navigator says, "Blend the extinction of Paul Atreides into your recipe and you will come with a meal to our liking."”

- Awwight, George? What's the matter, mate? - Naffin', Gwampa Paul Weller. - Well, it don't look like naffin'. - I'm feeling a bit sick. - Why's that, George? - I ate a trifle, in the #Blitz. - You ate a whole trifle, George? - Yes. And then another one. - So you've been eatin' trifles, mate?

BTW, according to Wikipedia she's still alive and kicking. There's a big row going on on her article's chat page because some people want to change all the verbs to past tense etc., but others don't want to do that until they can enter a definitive date of death. They don't have that, so she lives.

It's the "Well, nobody's perfect!" scene from the end of Some Like It Hot. Osgood (Joe E. Brown) pilots his launch, smiling beatifically, as Jerry/Daphne (Jack Lemmon) tries to explain why they can't be married.
