Willie Nelson plays himself in an episode of Monk, and it has some lovely moments. Monk gets on his tour bus, sniffs, and says: β€œDo you smell that?” β€œNo,” says Willie, β€œand neither do you,”

Comic novels about boys in an English boarding school. I once laughed so hard at one of them I fell out of bed.

Toyah does star in an episode, so your memory probably glitched rather than made something up.

Heβ€˜s dead to me since he overturned those tables. Small businesses need to be supported, temple or not.

On the one hand, this is absurdly expensive. On the other hand, serving a potato with a side order of chips is the long-awaited apotheosis of Irish cuisine.

She’s kept her own. Always a good decision when you’re shooting two hours a week.

A band who love Patti Smith and maybe X-Ray Spex find a director who loves John Ford and maybe the Czech New Wave. This is splendid. youtu.be/_lll0nATDNQ?...

Remember when the Blitz inspired British people to rise up, overthrow Churchill and let Hitler choose his replacement?

On second thoughts, it’s not my place to be scolding strangers, however much we disagree. Apologies.

They fired an actor for protesting a genocide. Why are you dignifying them with a review?

Rainy Day Bells

Neil Sedaka was never "cool", and there were phases of his career where he was an easy punchline.

During a career low point when he was a bit washed up, he wrote songs for the Hanna-Barbera Harlem Globetrotters cartoon. These may have been his finest work.

Judging and unfollowing any positive mention of Scream 7 btw.

I will not be supporting a movie that fired its lead because she supported Palestine.

I watched a lot of the first season and discovered that its being awful except for the music is not a modern innovation. (I like Washington's Dream, though.)

Melissa Barrera taking a photo in a mirror. She’s wearing a hoodie that says Actions Not Words in the shape and colour of a watermelon, which are also the colours of Palestine.

It’s a beautiful day to remember to boycott SCREAM 7, whose studio fired the franchiseβ€˜s lead actress for speaking out against genocide well before it was β€œacceptable”

re: hockey, Muhammad Ali, one of the greatest boxers ever to live, gave up three years in the prime of his life β€” years in which his fighting would have been at peak; actual money incalculable β€” rather than fight in an unjust war, so noping out on grandpa’s burger bash should be an easy choice
