Insufferability is only a bad thing in the eyes of those whose greatest ambition is to be a tolerable nuisance.

Wuthering Heights is good for the world because more women directors should be allowed make little freak movies. It's not a good movie, but first person through the wall always gets their nose bloody.

Thank you for reminding me how hard the Newport box goes frfr...

We’re kicking off the final week of the festival with this stellar lineup of shows:

Clearly I was not built for posting! 😝 On the plus side Solitary Confinement had its first performance last night as part of @sceneandheard.bsky.social . I couldn't be more proud of this incredible team. Our second and final performance is tonight at 8pm! #theatresky #speirgorm

This is not always a good thing as articulated by @prokopetz.bsky.social below.

Profa deez nuts

This is the environment in which Jonathan Frakes Wants Your Attention, And You Must Not Give It To Him was designed to be played, surely.

Tourmaline Zukini could conquer the world.

The KattenKabinet was a highlight when I visited last year - delightful mix of kitsch and some rare gems

I remember hearing about a spec script that was floating around Hollywood in the 2000s that did a kind of "New Knights of the Round Table" thing where a medieval prophecy set to come to pass in the modern day required a bunch of knights so Merlin or whoever was forced to recruit knighted actors.

I haven't read ahead in the manga do you think this will make it into #JJK Season 3?

We're both seriously short selling the requisite number of exclamation marks

Reborn in another world where anime have short yet utterly inscrutable titles again as god intended, with my smartphone!

Coleraine is the Irish Silent Hill

The current X/Grok omnishambles really does throw this into stark relief.

I'm directing a short play for a festival of new work in February. It's my first time directing anything in about a decade. We kicked off tonight with a read through. I may use this space to chronicle the journey so apologies if I don't provide my usual quota of dumb jokes. #speirgorm #theatresky

The more I look at it the more I like this photo I took coming home over the Eastlink yesterday. Let this be my 2026 vibe. #speirgorm

The 30 year old equivalent of everyone passing around the same 20 euro is everyone re-gifting the same bottle of wine.

Ever have a moment where your brain just goes Noir:

It was December 29th. I was looking for frozen perogis in the Eurasia supermarket on Talbot Street. The in-store PA was blaring Evanescence and t.A.T.u and I couldn't help but feel something strange was just around the corner.

I think the internet is at its best when it's an idle fancy machine. We should be making it better at answering questions like "What's Bobby Carnavle up to these days?" and less good at inducing mass psychosis.

The upside of brands having not adopted Bluesky en masse is that it's not fill to bursting LCD engagement bait. The downside is I can no longer post "@cadbury: which clown decided to take the little card out of the box of Roses!?" with the expectation that some clown at Cadbury will have to read it

George R. R. Martin reveals that Winds of Winter will be a thematic companion piece to Don Henley's Boys of Summer

Screenshot of a skeet reading "i think we should all commit ourselves to, at minimum, a national 3 day party When It Happens. one bottle of champagne in the back of your closet is no longer adequate. be prepared"

This makes so much more sense now

Why does it feel like while I was growing up the message was always 'Screw the gatekeepers, democratise access' and for the last decade or more the realisation has been 'There were some gates we really should have worked harder to keep'?

At least you know how to say Sybilette

The Thief and the Cobbler

Encountered an authentic use of "do be always" in casual conversation. Day made. #HibernoEnglish #Speirgorm
