She is so so good in whatever I see her in. I think Bev (Midnight Mass) is an all timer of a villain thanks to that combo of amazing writing and how Samantha Sloyan plays her.

This needs shouting from the rooftops And banning aside: I don't think it's possible to overemphasise just how many people won't read books by Black, brown, queer, trans and otherwise Othered authors. On principle And how many will review-bomb books for their Black/brown/queer/trans/Otherness

NO PLANS (then do stuff)

We had no plans today and yet somehow still managed to do 2 loads of washing, empty the dishwasher, make dinner (well @popsiwinkle.bsky.social did) and make enough for 2 lunches and went swimming. Turns out the key to being non-stressed/feeling pressured to be productive seems to be to say no plans.

Remember the picture of the little boy Alan Kurdi dead on that beach after fleeing Syria and we were all sad. 11 years ago. Things are even harsher now than then and apparently that's the only way we can solve this issue.

When was the last time our Secretary of State for Culture displayed anything approaching this degree of public enthusiasm for our world-class arts industry? Has she been seen anywhere? Given impending charter renewal... did she even bother to visit a single prom?

The Emma Frost x Miss Piggy comic has hit the internet and it's so, so, so much more magnificent than I ever could have hoped for
Emma Frost: "Emma Frost, darling. I'm a telepath. May I read your mind to ascertain if you're telling the truth?"

Miss Piggy: "But of course, darling I am an open book, a tell-all memoir."Emma Frost telepathically witnessing the entirety of Miss Piggy's life.Wolverine: "Frost? She legit?"
Emma Frost: "She's..She's... She's everything. And I would die for her."

I just think that risking your life at a moment's notice to save people you've never met in exchange for no money is a better expression of patriotism than dressing up like a Poundshop paramilitary and intimidating families with kids trying to get onto a ferry.

A large group of co-ordinated, masked men blockading a piece of significant infrastructure is a security threat and should be dealt with as one. There should also be serious questions about why police/intelligence services didn't pick up on it in advance.

Leo is himself a tough, effective, and fascinating politician. But the longer he's in, the clearer it becomes how Francis set him up as a successor. This is one of the most important political stories in many years, and the nature of the church means I doubt we'll get its full extent.

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.
