Do you want to create a generation of supervillains? Because this is how you create a generation of supervillains. Or possibly serial killers.

In the first season the plot was driven by the escape plot, with the conspiracy stuff was firmly placed as a B plot. For the second season, though, the conspiracy stuff was driving the plot and only showed how weak that element was as they were running out of ideas with half a season to go.

Prison Break. The first season had was tightly-written, with some great characters and there was believable tension throughout. The second season crowbarred in some government conspiracy that made the whole thing completely unrealistic, and just felt bloated as hell.

...once again, much as I hate to give the Tories advice, but is it really that hard to have a leader who gives the distinct impression that everything that comes out of her mouth is based on checking this piece of paper?

O.D. Smith @odsmithwriter.bsky.social · 05/10/2026

The main use for Facebook in 2026 seems to be reminding you of stuff from three to five years ago. For example, I was reminded of the time three years ago that Cruella Braverman was photographed casually standing on a guide dog's tail at the Tory conference.

A picture of people who provide something of worth to society. Also pictured: Sue-Ellen Braverman exercising such casual cruelty she is standing on a guide dog's tail and doesn't seem to notice, let alone care.

I don't want to be giving the Tories advice, what with me having a soul and all that, but you would think they would at least have the awareness to not post pictures of their leader in tanks after their recent...issues with such things.

No, seriously, as somebody who had a pub/club social life in the year 2000 (yes I did, bugger off) what was like 80% of that double bill of Top of the Pops from 2000? What I do remember boiled down to two reactions: 1.) "Oooh, Bloodhound Gang's on!" 2.) Visceral revulsion at seeing Madison Avenue.

O.D. Smith @odsmithwriter.bsky.social · 02/10/2026

That awkward moment when you're half a bottle of Gekkeikan deep, channel surfing and see The Bloodhound Gang on an old episode of Top of the Pops and ask yourself "Is this the highlight of my week?" ...and it's easily top three.

On the plus side, it actually works as a portmanteau. Of all the things that always irritated me about Brexit, the distinct feeling that the term was nicked from the Greek EU referendum without considering that Greece has an E in its name is...actually dropping year on year, due to everything else.

Perhaps they believed that, if they self-reported, they would get a slap on the wrist instead of the full punishment. Can't think where they might have got that idea from...

You just have to look at that time back in 2017 somebody mounted the kerb and hit several pedestrians outside the Natural History Museum, as for months on end the professionally outraged insisted it was a terror attack and not a mere traffic accident.

My mother recently dug out my old school photos. I have to say, the difference between Year 7 and Year 10 was pretty noticeable...

For anyone wondering, the left photo is Al Jourgensen circa With Sympathy, and the right photo is Al Jourgensen circa Filth Pig.

Always good when you have to explain the joke, isn't it?

Panel 1: Purple Guy looks at a laptop and says “boy o boy! I wonder what my comedy hero’s up to”

Panel 2: A tweet from John Cleese that reads “This is where the Arabs were ahead of us

By castrating all their slaves, they made sure that there were no descendants who could claim reparations”

If we had a press which was fit for purpose, we would have journalists capable of asking follow-up questions such as "And how are you planning to enforce this?", which would immediately expose just how performative this never-going-to-happen piece cruelty is.

To paraphrase Todd in the Shadows, there are two types of pop star: the one with the loyal and committed following who stick with them through thick and thin, and the one whose following bails when the hits dry up. Ed Sheeran has spent the last week learning, to his horror, that he's the latter.

I'd never seen this Roy Lichtenstein painting before, but it's incredible how he manages unfailingly to make his copies worse than the original comics he's ripping off.

A drab pop art painting of a sinister man driving a car, watching a stoic blonde in leopard print fur. The proportions of the guy's face are off

The original image, from Girls' Romances 78 by Tony Abruzzo. The guy has a more sinister leer, while the woman has heavier mascara and feels both sadder and more determined. A caption reads "I vowed to myself I would NOT miss my appointment -- that I would NOT go riding with him--yet before I knew it..."
