I see the new Marvel show Wonder Man has just popped up on Disney+. And I'm quite tickled to see the two main characters are called Trevor and Simon.

You can tell The Traitors is the biggest show on TV from the number of trails they showed before it.

Amazon Prime seem to have attached the description and metadata of Alex Garland's "Men" to Nic Cage's Dream Scenario. Most odd.

I'd strongly endorse this recommendation. It's huge fun, and my enjoyment was only increased by the fact a lot of it was shot in a big stately home where I used to work a long time ago.
Polite Society is on Film4, Wednesday night at 9pm and I'd hugely recommend it: teenage would-be stuntwoman plots to stop her older sister's wedding, having decided the bridegroom is secretly evil.
Enormous fun - this was my NYE film a couple of years ago.

In honour of Dolly Parton’s 80th birthday tomorrow, I’ve made this: it’s my own interpretation of how Elvis’s version of I Will Always Love You MIGHT have sounded, if it had happened…
EVERYBODY re-post this so it reaches Dolly…

This photo was taken in 1911 using glass plate technology by Herbert Ponting who was part of Scott's Antarctic expedition,
The composition and detail are exquisite with the band of white snow/ice creating a perfect frame around the two people and the ship in the distance
Iconic imo

By now, asteroid 2026 Dreadstone has impacted the Indian Ocean, sparking a firestorm not seen on this planet since the K–Pg Extinction Event. Most people just want to be with their families. Here are three ways effective business leaders can leverage targeted KPIs to turn tragedy 😔 into triumph 💪

Hold on. Is a Spice Girls record the best song in this episode? Suddenly the world makes a little more sense. Still not really my thing, but explains their massive success at this time. #totp

My problem with a 1997 edition is that I'd stopped listening to pop music around 1992. Because I am old. But this edition has done nothing to make me rethink my choices so far. Sorry. #totp

Brought to you by Craig Mazin, the genius screenwriter behind HBO’s Chernobyl, comes the silliest murder mystery possible!! I am so here for this
I thought this trailer was an SNL sketch, but nope! — it’s a real movie with possibly the greatest cast of 2026, and I implore you to watch the trailer 😆

I'm sure this will get picked apart, but I think it's worth incorporating into our schema. My grandmother was convinced - CONVINCED - that the fact I read too many books would ruin my eyesight & cause me debilitating headaches. My parents were like that about TV with my sister. It's a cycle.
The "largest long-term study of brain development and child health in the United States", finds "no evidence…that screen time impacted [children's] brain function or well-being", even among "participants who had high rates of digital engagement" #smma www.oii.ox.ac.uk/news-events/...
OII | No evidence screen time is negative for children’s cognitive development and well-being: Oxford Study
In a study of nearly 12,000 children in the United States, no evidence was found to show that screen time impacted their brain function or well-being.
