Focusing on mutuals this time around, and likely to unfollow without a follow-back. And the rich & famous are out unless they want to be my friend, and even then probably not.
Sometimes I wish there was a Star Trek Holiday Special like the Star Wars people got.

I’m in a public place and I just saw a lady of uncertain vintage wearing quite an odd outfit, like she was going horseriding later. I shrugged and then I saw a different older lady in exactly the same outfit. Now I’m wondering if they’re a gang or a convention or something. Maybe they’ll fight.

Really hoping Stranger Things does a Game of Thrones and has somebody go loopy and kill everyone at the end.
Wait… that worked for Blake’s 7…

There’s now a whole Netflix category that’s just “movies and shows I really liked and suddenly lost all interest in”.

Took a break to clean my eavestroughs this afternoon, with the snows a’comin’ in. They were completed full of layered organic matter. It was incredibly satisfying, like eating a Walls Viennetta.

Watching an American doing the Harry Ramsden’s “eating challenge” and talking about mooshy peas and coorie sauce and I’m just thinking it looks like a Friday night in Scotland.

This is good work.
Our holiday tradition is we tell our grandkids that bad kids get sent to the North Pole, are turned into elves, and forced into slave labor to make toys for a year.
It works better than the elf on a shelf bullshit.
All we do is look at their ears and tell them theirs are looking pretty pointy.

Weekend reading: great mix of new reads and inspirational rereads. Comic books are great.

Spending a happy time this Saturday with a great comic book - the schlock-tastic Macabre Valley #1. Nicely disturbing, with something to say and lots of great violence too. Also some chuckles, such as the attached.
This one’s a strong rec from me! See @zackquaintance.bsky.social.

Forgot I played a Disney song for a kid last night and yelled Spotify awake a moment ago and now I’m happily listening to Julie Andrews as Mary Poppins. ❤️

I’m always faintly disappointed in Boomers who wear casual clothes to the theatre. You clowns are the people with standards - put a pair of shoes on, you twonk. 🤪

Nazism is wrong. We should help people in poverty. Everyone should pay taxes fairly.
And it’s predatory criminal behaviour for a grown man to have sex with a teenage girl. A 15-year-old is still a child.
Why do these things need to be restated?
