The extraordinary 1936 cartoon 'Bottles', which they would apparently just show on kids tv. I think it more or less defined the scaffolding for every nightmare i ever had. It's easily found on youtube, though i would warn you it is inevitably, staggeringly racist.

Look how fucked my first ever Discworld book is. I read it and read it and read it.

I would never eat a battery farmed naan. That's just inhumane.

A reminder that C4's show 'Naked Attraction', where they point at people's genitals and go "oooh" is also sold as 'science', so their factual unit is hardly a storied institute of Galilean iconoclasm.

Me, sitting in a meeting room at Two Brothers pictures, central London: so the show is called 'Pizza Detectives'...

So Angel Down by Daniel Kraus just won a Pulitzer Prize, and I honestly cannot wait to read it. However, I hear it's written in one long unbroken sentence, and so my immediate thought was "sure, but does it use any words of more than one syllable" @fruishfruish.bsky.social

So judging by the demo, Rhythm Heaven/Paradise Groove is shaping up to be another superb machine for joy.

007 First Light is an absolute triumph of storytelling, the kind of franchise launching knockout that most studios across kinds of media can only dream of, and it will be a terrible shame if IO Interactive don't get to make a bunch more of them.

Once again playing this glorious game and marvelling over what an eccentric and unique joy it is, how smartly modest its design is, how it taps into the uniquely British 'cosy catastrophe' genre of Wyndham & Wells & splices it with Tarkovsky & Ben Wheatley. There's hope for British games! #atomfall
A screenshot of the video game Atomfall depicting a scene from the village of Wyndham, with a bandstand in the foreground, a lumbering robot ahead, and a Lovecraftian exploded powerplant in the distance. A screenshot from the game featuring three skeletons in a bathtub, which must be the first reference to Last Of The Summer Wine in a video game.

Ok, but why oh why oh why is Aimee-Ffion Edwards not on this list? She was incredible in the game as Ranni - basically the heart and soul of the entire thing - and would absolutely destroy in live action: www.eurogamer.net/elden-ring-m...

Yep. Also, my primary school seemed to have a near infinite supply of this series - never managed to get through one

I was never so much with the YA, but i can do you an excellent line in subtly sad, elegiac books for 9-12 year olds.
