"Lights all askew in the heavens. Men of science more or less agog over results of eclipse observations. Einstein theory triumphs. Stars not where they seemed or were calculated to be, but nobody need worry."
another favourite scientific headline, following confirmation of Einstein's general theory of relativity by observations of the 1919 solar eclipse. "Stars not where they seemed or were calculated to be, but nobody need worry" is a beautiful sentiment. i would have that on a t-shirt
"I say! Are you Georgina?" The child in the opposite bed sat up and looked across at Anne. She had very short curly hair, almost as short as a boy's. Her face was burnt a dark-brown with the sun, and “Famous Five 01 - Five On A Treasure Island” By Enid Blyton 7 her very blue eyes looked as bright as forget-me-nots in her face. But her mouth was rather sulky, and she had a frown like her father's. "No," she said. "I'm not Georgina." "Oh!" said Anne, in surprise. "Then who are you?" "I'm George," said the girl. "I shall only answer if you call me George. I hate being a girl. I won't be. I don't like doing the things that girls do. I like doing the things that boys do. I can climb better than any boy, and swim faster too. I can sail a boat as well as any fisher-boy on this coast. You're to call me George. Then I'll speak to you. But I shan't if you don't." "Oh!" said Anne, thinking that her new cousin was most extraordinary. "All right! I don't care what I call you. George is a nice name, I think. I don't much like Georgina. Anyway, you look like a boy."
To give you an idea of how deranged the UK has become about gender stuff, here's Enid Blyton - the absolute avatar of classic English conservatism and a huge fan of racist "gollywogs" - casually describing a gender non-conforming kid in the 1940s and having their friends be totally cool with it.

The UK creative industries — which contributed £125 billion to the economy in 2024 and supported 2.4 million jobs — are being destroyed by an AI sector that... contributed just £11 billion in the same year and supported only 85,000 jobs.
PLEASE GOD.
I don’t want to worry anyone but Digging for Britain has just said that the largest UK archaeological dig is currently taking place a stone’s throw from where MR James set A Warning to the Curious.
Similarly, I’m having a hard time getting through the xenophobia in the way the Mitzi character is belittled and described by the other characters in A Murder is Announced - she’s a automatically a hysterical liar because she’s not English
Thing is, I didn’t find it weird and uncomfortable at all! Maybe because I like surreal humour and the uncanny, but I was pretty unperturbed by it
So that’s what that book was! I had no idea why I was being asked to read and interpret that as a 52 year old adult 😵💫
I think I ended up pointing out the time of year the story takes place in, on account of the size and direction of the shadows… (which is probably extremely autistic of me)
Same, I can’t DM you but interested in signing
Good list! I just remembered, Spaced “Leaves” ❤️
Sapphire & Steel - that was… unexpected
Logging on
“I’ll burn through ya barrier, boy!” (Said by some bearded top, dressed in black with leather gloves)
Mr. Rogers: Even though machines might move or sound like they're talking, they don't have feelings.
The wisdom of Mr. Rogers is eternal:
Such a great choice of music too!
Brilliant!
It’s lots of silly fun and I like the washing up bowls - there, I’ve said it
Grace Jones performing Slave to the Rhythm on Wogan
“And now, ladies and gentlemen, heeeerrrre's… Kronos!”
Can’t. Unsee.
That’s one of your pre-Hartnell doctors right there!
I had the same thought this morning. It’s like someone set out to invent the most infuriating substance known to man
“Hey fellers. Is winning gay?”
The only other film that had the same effect on me was Threads. Walked home in total silence and couldn’t listen to Bjork for two years afterwards. But yeah, I hated it - a bleak, nasty little film. love the soundtrack though!
Azal - a horny otter with hairy legs
CyberAndroids (Earthshock) - designed to slink around a darkroom. Raston Warrior Robot is the twink version
The Garm - sure I’ve seen him doing bearface in his gym selfie

A rebel’s been sighted, sir!
On this day in 1966, the first episode of Doctor Who 'The Highlanders' was broadcast.
The videotapes were wiped just two months after the last episode aired.
#DoctorWho The Highlanders, 3D Animation
Wonderful stuff! I’ve not listened to The Highlanders before, so maybe I’ll wait for your reconstruction. Your animation of Wheel in Space was my first experience of that story (apart from the surviving stuff on Lost in Time), so I’m excited for this!
