Magic, thank you!

Ah sorry, I should have specified, without the logos/copy/corner boxes. Cheers though!

Does anyone have a link to/copy of a decent-res version of Russel Dauterman's connecting tryptich of covers for Avengers 34-36? I want to check something

the album version of all the single ladies is called all the album ladies

Associations with the song in another context, or associations with the dipshittery of the artist?

"Shake it like a Polaroid picture" is terrible advice for developing a Polaroid picture, which should be left in a dark place for a few minutes until fully developed

#TheTenX5 Day 32

19. Sia - Chandelier (2014)

Things that impress me the most about this song:

1) that vocal performance
2) the bleakness of the lyrics
3) the relentless march to war beating in the drums
4) Maddie Ziegler inventing M3GAN in the video

Lolsob—imagine a world where Diane Wynne Jones and Diana Duane were THE Famous Wizard Writers and JKR is crowdfunding for heating oil. Probably that timeline has different presidents and less warcrimes too

BUY DIANE DUANE A COFFEE!? It would be an honor to us all who enjoyed the cream of the crop Star Treks book back in the day (💗My Enemy My Ally💗) and better wizard books than ole JK. ko-fi.com/dianeduane

Bumping this for the daytime crowd, as I'd like to get a heating-oil order in tomorrow if I can. 🙂

Real Housewives should be a banger football team

Yeah, I suspect I'll see a lot of it on Instagram and TikTok

Just found out that the writing team for that new UK SNL has Chris Cantrill, Celya AB, Gráinne Maguire, Humphrey Ker and Nathan Foad, so I'm now cautiously more optimistic that it'll be good (it feels like the biggest obstacle it'll have is being on Sky tbh)

We tell ourselves constantly that we're the welcoming, kind nation, and never admit that this is us too

I'm not sure I dig HuffPo UK describing Charlie Kirk as "slain". Like he died trying to stop Conan the Barbarian stealing a huge jewel from the eye of a massive bronze snake

I like how this behind-the-scenes recording of Duel of the Fates offers a much more interesting mix of the music where you can much more clearly hear the hammers and bells, and the heart-pounding of the string section.

That room must've sounded like it was filled with thunder.

The thing about these books that I really wasn't expecting, given they're century-plus old kids' books, is that they're really subversive and genuinely funny

No, I might set that as extra credit

Working through the Oz series with my 8y/o and I have to say, if you're only familiar with the material that made it into movies, you're missing out on some prime stuff

Hi, I'm a cumin seed, I'm glad you enjoyed your curry, really hope you weren't planning to use this microscopic gap between two of your teeth for anything, because I live here now

I think with this cast they're aiming at people who see SNL on Instagram and TikTok (where they've been pretty prolific posting up clips), so picking comedians who also live and have their material up extensively on those platforms is a good call, I think. I do agree with your latter point, though

Today I Will Look The Burrito Man In The Eye and other stories of manifesting success

I'm so glad it's not just The Official Handbook of Avalon Talent Management

I can't imagine seeing the trailer for a new comedy show and thinking "oh, I do hope they give Ed Gamble some work, the poor lad"

Magliano was on Taskmaster last season, she's terrific

"(No, me neither)" is the sign of an incurious mind, or Stuart Heritage, or both

Sorry to report this has attracted multiple No Me Neitherers :(

Just remembered this excellent game

James Bond has to try to work out who killed Captain Von Trapp. Was it Wanda Gershwitz? Captain America? Muriel Heslop? Sonny Crockett? General Zod? Or Fozzie Bear?
