“Previously on ‘The News’…” Illo: The Day Today #digitalisavaluelessmedium

Starting Sunday with a selection of screenshots. (All taken out of context.) Illos: The Graun, The Times/News Corp #protectandsurvive

First encounter with GdT’s second (hugely influential) Hollywood WFH* tonight - he’s wrangling different monster(s) this time, but beyond that, couldn’t tell you. Here goes… #notagoth *The version that employers prefer.

Department of Great Work and No Pension Annual Report 2026 Illo: The Goddess, 04/12/17 (psychosis sold separately) #notagoth #haileris

Ah, the past truly is a different country.* Haven’t seen tonight’s stage of the GdT retrospective since the (reliably unreliable) ONDigital/Blockbuster VHS days. #notagoth *Correct at time of tapping.

It’s not hoarding if it’s Hawkwind Live CDs.* #notagoth *Apologies to whoever originally came up with the meme being paraphrased there.

Tonight’s Any Questions? panel only has a single Baroness, last week it was three.

“If nothing else works, a total pig-headed unwillingness to look facts in the face will see us through.” - General Sir Anthony Cecil Hogmanay Melchett, VC KCB DSO Illos: The Graun, BBC

Next up in the del Toro retrospective: the theatrical version of nobody’s favourite. (May well’ve cheated and watched the Director’s Cut a few days ago…) #notagoth

Embarking on another retrospective. Haven’t rewatched this since its first appearance *cough* years ago. Seem to recall it making quite an impact at the time… #notagoth

“Long-term fans are sure to be delighted with today’s news that, despite rumours, ‘brave’ Labour Together* will appear in Ayn Rand’s Justice Team America: Doomsday after all.” *Currently trading as ThinkLabour. #itwasastitchup #notagoth

Illo: Parkhouse/Dillon

“Oooh! Ahhh! That’s how it always starts. Then later there’s running and screaming.” - Dr I. Malcolm Of the two news stories obviously based on episodes of Black Mirror doing the rounds, this one’s much more amusing. #metalhead

“Don’t be too proud of this technological terror you’ve constructed.” - A. Skywalker Illos: Selective screenshots from today’s Graun TL;DR: 01000110 01110101 01100011 01101011 00100000 01000001 00101110 01001001 00101110

“I don’t take any interest in politics myself.” Wading deep into Scarred For Life waters now. (May well’ve troubled the soul of a young G Ennis, come to think of it.) D.I. Jack Cloth arrives, but it’s Monarch from TV’s Doctor Who who’s truly unforgettable… #terribilisestlocusiste #notagoth

“Give us circus and bread/It keeps us happy” - Therapy? Here’s some out-of-context, totally random nonsense to see you through the long, dark journey into Monday. Illos: The Mode, Wagner/Grant/Gibson, The London HIGNFY #notagoth

Not convinced that ‘brave’ Labour Together* changing lead vocalist is going to see a return to ‘Cool Brittania’. (Also, drop “Fuck The Peasants And Livestock”, “Walk It Off (Stop Whining)” and “Wardance” from the set list.) Illos: The Graun, The Fraud/Paul Holden *Currently trading as ThinkLabour.

Caught this on a b+w portable at stupid o’clock sometime last century. The title stuck. Beyond that, you’re on your own. #notagoth

“To avoid fainting keep repeating, IT’S ONLY A MOVIE ..ONLY A MOVIE ..ONLY A MOVIE ..ONLY A MOVIE ..ONLY A MOVIE ..ONLY A MOVIE ..ONLY A MOVIE…” (Illo: The Original Writer/Gibbons) #digitalisavaluelessmedium #hometapingiskillingmusic #protectandsurvive

Tonight’s Any Questions panel, chums.

Haven’t seen this slice of joy since it first escaped, back when the universe was half its present size. #notagoth

The last Coil-related post earned a frightening bollocking from Skynet. Still, what can you do? #notagoth

Seeing as today marks 21 of your Earth Years in the (increasingly-inaccurately-named) Arctic Circle of Hell, here’re some volumes recently added to the ‘library’/expanding collection of future landfill. One’s signed, but in order to maintain a sense of mystery, you’ll have to guess which… #notagoth

[SATIRE] Illo: Williams/Flint

“Oh, I do like to re-release me B-sides”. - Half Man Half Biscuit Double-dip for the live tracks. #notagoth

“You might very well think that; I couldn’t possibly comment.” - F. Urquhart/M. Dobbs Or, if you want to be all obvious about it: “Oh, we’re fucked.” - The Mode Illos: June doomscrolling/Marjane Satrapi (GNU) #digitalisavaluelessmedium #notagoth

Some recent grabs from the Graun to brighten your day. #protectandsurvive #hometapingiskillingmusic

One to watch: wet-bulb temperature. #digitalisavaluelessmedium
