Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 25/09/2026This Sky Arts David Bowie documentary has really done its research: "Bowie's acting career was always an eclectic collection, from family fare such as Labyrinth and MERRY CHRISTMAS MR LAWRENCE to Nicolas Roeg's The Man Who Fell to Earth" (emphasis added) 000

Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 25/09/2026I know it's pointless to argue with these lists but some of these rankings are BANANAS 110

Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I'm a bit obsessed by people with accidental Irish accents. Edward Said and Jorge Luis Borges are my favourite examples. 380

Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 19/09/2026How long did you agonise over whether to go with "Mrs. Binwoman" or "Mrs. Binman"? 110
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 15/09/2026That's because its scope is defined by the EU AVMS Directive, which doesn't cover gaming. 110

Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 31/08/2026Fans of Queens on LinkedIn: I believe if the answer was instantly revealed to me I couldn't physically fill out the grid any faster than this. How are people doing it in 13 seconds? 020

Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 25/08/2026- "Kippers for breakfast, Aunt Helga? Is it St Swithin's Day already?" - "Pleasure doing business with you, chummmmmmmmmmmP" - "Way to breathe, no-breath" - "I am familiar with the works of Pablo Neruda" - "I hope the irony's not lost on you, Simpson" (Three of these are from the same episode) 000
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I understand words but I don't agree with that position. Others always contribute, nobody does anything in a vacuum. If you think by stating that I'm saying he's not responsible for his own actions I don't know what to tell you. 100
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026The Germans believe all nouns are important, at least they're consistent. 010
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026OK so if you don't hold that position then can you explain how my asking for attention on other actors who might have contributed implies that Linehan isn't fully responsible? 100
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Is the root of this disagreement that you think that somebody can only be fully responsible for their actions if absolutely nobody else is involved or has an impact on the situation? 100
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026My initial tweet wasn't intended to suggest that Linehan isn't responsible for where he ended up, but I can see how you might have read it that way so I've tried to clarify in subsequent replies. I don't know what else you want me to say. 110
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026There are letters circulating today which are unhinged for various reasons but which also reflect a broader pernicious trend of capitalising random Nouns to emphasise their Importance. 100
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026Yes, he didn't do it in a vacuum. That's not the same as saying he's not responsible. 130
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 21/08/2026I don't say this to excuse him in any way. I just think it's important to understand the processes behind such extreme radicalisation, which usually doesn't happen in a vacuum of solitary "research". 150
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 20/08/2026This is good but suggests that he went down the rabbit hole all on his own. I hope Ronson gives some attention to those who relentlessly fed his persecution complex and love-bombed him into this personal hell. 1100
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I don't mind that they take a British-centric view of things but I think it's revealing how comfortable they feel displaying ignorance of the basic facts on this topic alone. 110
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 20/08/2026I thought they did surprisingly well this time! Always amazing in past episodes to hear them confidently narrate the samurai wars or whatever and then laugh and bumble about as the history of their nearest neighbour is patiently explained to them. 220
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 20/08/2026Saad's view (as expressed in the second screenshot) is that it is childishly naive to think that cultural conflicts can be resolved other than by one side eliminating or expelling the other. 000
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Needless to say, "So Irish" and "The Bicester Collection" are mutually exclusive - pick one! 020
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 18/08/2026Is there an online forum or support group I can join for people driven to madness by advertising creative choices? I shouldn't care about that fada on "So" but I do. 7183
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 14/08/2026I'm not a big "signed by the author" person but if I were in London I would get down to @goshcomics.bsky.social for this bunch of legends. 000
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 13/08/2026I think this one is less about the victim and more about the reporting, which might give one to believe that random shark attacks are something Irish people need to worry about now. 000
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 10/08/2026The process of syncing my brain with the Wordle bot is going well. Soon I can just get it to do the puzzle for me. 010
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 10/08/2026After 40 years I have been able to leave the Sinclair/Commodore divide behind me, sad to see you rubber key weirdos can't move on 100
Ryan Meade @ryano.bsky.social · 10/08/2026I vaguely remember thinking Sinclair BASIC was weird and inferior because in C64 BASIC you didn't need the DIM statement. 100
