Stressful dream in which I went to the loo in the interval of a film & got lost on the way back, woke up while I was still outside cinema So, 2 things unresolved - the person I was with will think I abandoned her, & how did the film end? Did Jodie Whittaker save the day?
When I was young, the Union Jack & St George flags were utterly tainted by association with the NF/BNP. Briefly rehabilitated under BritPop & 2012 Olympics when they were associated with a positive outward-looking spirit. Theyāre back to being nihilistic symbols, against things rather than positive.
Can't even build death star anymore, because of ewok
Pure joy! So glad itās continuing - obviously I would like one every day rather than one every year, but oh so brilliant x www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

"I HAVE HAD IT WITH THESE MOTHERFUCKING STRANGERS ON THIS MOTHERFUCKING TRAIN"
Rewatching The Wrath of Khan for the first time in years If it hadnāt been so good - & so successful - no more sequels, & so possibly no TNG, & everything else Iāve always known it was important, but I had forgotten how great it is #StarTrek
Robots used to be like "beep boop" and now robots are like "through my love you've discovered the secret name of God and if you kill yourself we can be together forever."
My main form of exercise is rolling my eyes at people who donāt look where theyāre walking, itās working, everyone hates me but I have such strong eyes
Seeing this again tomorrow - delighted that itās still on loads of places, 10+ weeks in the cinema is amazing So beautiful, so sweet, so funny #TheBalladOfWallisIsland ā¤ļøā¤ļø
How did we get an entire corporate and political world full of scumbags and bastards, all we did was incentivize that behavior at every turn
the brain that can see a face in a wall outlet was always doomed to hear the voice of God in a markov chain
10th, 20th & now even 30th Anniversary Editions of things I'm pretty sure just happened, fuck off

Oh my god, āwet AIā is the most grotesque & accurate term, perfect
Yay! Exciting!! x
10 years, 19 seasons (with 20 and 21 on the way) and a lot of comedians doing ridiculous things for our enjoyment. Happy 10th Anniversary, @taskmaster.tv

Cement mixer spits out fridge magnet haiku. Experts ask: can it run a hospital?

Ah... today is the day! #DoctorWho
RAIN! YES!
Gorgeous! And looks like a good one to know about in a zombie apocalypse situation
VERY fancy! Whereās that??
All of these things were WONDERFUL, but now I have run out of things
Because I always arrive early & am bad at remembering faces, today is another day of playing my two favourite games - How Much Coffee Is Too Much & What Does [Person I Know Very Well] Look Like?
I know thereās rejuvenation pods for high-performance businessy business people, but why not nap huts for us sleepy people who just want to lie down for an hour in the daytime?
They really did - quite right too x
Ah thatās so gorgeous!! ā¤ļøā¤ļø

Would you do Taskmaster if they asked? Would love to see (Also, thank you for being such a glorious Doctor, & such a brilliant ambassador for the series - so excited for your BF era) #AskJodie
I never felt like adults knew what they were doing, but itās still a surprise to me - now that I am one - quite what a bunch of clueless fuckups we are
@5teviem.bsky.social Had you just read āAll the Colours of the Darkā when you did Taskmaster, or is this is a weird coincidence?
YAY! Looking forward to it, whatever it may be x
Iām going to spend all of today reading, eating cheese & drinking coffee. We are not the same.
Pure joy of an episode, which directly led to me to seeing the film a third time x
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! (in a good way)
Corb(lime)y
Iām not deepressed Iām shallowpressed
Enjoy! As a lifelong fan (grew up on 4th Doctor), it makes me so happy a) that itās still around at all b) that new fans are discovering it still Varies a LOT from week to week, youāll LOVE some & some not so muchā¦ keep going! Iām jealous of how much new-to-you you have to look forward to! šš
No, it was great! You reacted with appropriate shock to a mind-bendingly stupid thing Canāt stop thinking about it Also, heās constantly chuckling - at what? Just.. banter?
A candle that smells of GIANT BEAR might be upsetting, though
WHAT?!
Wow!! Is that a US edition? Or a subscriber thing? Itās amazing
Yes! @5teviem.bsky.social on the Taskmaster podcast! podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/t...
Iām keeping my fingers crossed that youāve secretly recorded another twenty episodes with this castā¦
Pure joy - thank you all! x
Oh good lord, this series is SO GOOD - been watching since s5, but I think this is my favourite of all ā¤ļøā¤ļø
Also reeling from āI donāt find comedy funnyā
Fell for a scam email this morning, feeling very stupid, but luckily I have no money in my account so there was nothing for them to steal ha ha fuck you
Thank you!
Wait, what? A new thing?
cowabunga x
Hmm - is it an email from the 1970s? I've just had a letter from a BMX Club - TIME IS BROKEN
dude this party is such an echo chamber. it's just friends hanging out and chilling and having a good time. you need to invite some people over who want to kill you with hammers

every time a new wes anderson movie comes out Iām like āthatās it, that's the most wes anderson a movie can beā and then the next one comes out and itās even more wes andersony, how does he keep wes andersoning so hard
"After 30 years or so of walls coming down, rainbow coalitions being constructed, and even the harshest of economic measures such as austerity being ushered in under the mantra of āweāre all in this togetherā, the collective party seems to be over." šļø @Aiannucci.bsky.social
Spent the evening watching War Games In Colour with the DVD commentary & then new Taskmaster, enlivened by Stevie Martin live-skeeping My two favourite programmes augmented in a brilliant way Pure joy #DoctorWho #Taskmaster
that was so much fun - I hope you enjoyed it & drunkenly skeep every week!
Your duo with Jason is so great - feels like he didnāt care about winning solo tasks but did want to do well when it was you both?
Did you remember a lot of what youād done? Or was it a surprise when you saw it back in studio??
FIVE!
Cheers! x
Am loving your series so much - one of the absolute best casts ever
Yes please!
Youāre welcome! All true!
