I was sorry to hear of Sam Neill passing at 78. He had an incredible acting career, The Hunt for Red October, The Piano, Jurassic Park, Peaky Blinders, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, and many more! My thoughts are with his loved ones. #RIP #SamNeill #RIPSamNeill

I hope that Forest Whitaker had a very happy 65th birthday yesterday! He's had a good acting career, Good Morning, Vietnam, Star Wars, Black Panther, and more! And he's also done some good humanitarian and activist work! #HappyBirthday #ForestWhitaker #HappyBirthdayForestWhitaker

Wishing you a very happy Bastille Day a day late, but may as well think of this famous moment of rising against the elite during a time of hardship... France inspires us! #BastilleDay #HappyBastilleDay #BastilleDay2026 #HappyBastilleDay2026

I hope that Patrick Stewart had a very happy 86th birthday on the 13th! He has had an incredible acting career, Picard in Star Trek, Professor Xavier, I, Claudius, The Prince of Egypt, American Dad, and many more! #HappyBirthday #PatrickStewart #HappyBirthdayPatrickStewart

I hope that Rachel Brosnahan had a very happy 36th birthday yesterday! She has been in House of Cards and The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel, but she recently did great as Lois Lane in Superman, with Man of Tomorrow to come! #HappyBirthday #RachelBrosnahan #HappyBirthdayRachelBrosnahan

I suppose I should say something nice about Lindsey Graham. He wasn't as bad as the last person to hold his senate seat. That was Strom Thurmond, an icon of white supremacy, who spoke for a day to stop civil rights. And was a rapist. Big pro-slavery figure John Calhoun held it too! #LindseyGraham

I saw this morning that Lindsey Graham died at 71. I will be speaking ill of him. He was a terrible person, backstabbing, condemning Trump then lickspittling to that fascist, being a war hawk for the US's actions in the Middle East, continually supporting Israel's atrocities. No loss! #LindseyGraham

Just looking through US history, and came across a real asshole in the history of anti-Catholicism, Rep. Lewis Charles Levin. I wonder how well-known the Philadelphia nativist riots of 1844 he helped prompt against Irish Catholic immigrants are. It's certainly the first I heard of him and the riots!

Wishing John Simm a very happy 56th birthday today! He's had a great acting career, Crime and Punishment, Life on Mars, Grace, and a very memorable performance as the Master in Doctor Who! I certainly wish him further success! #HappyBirthday #JohnSimm #HappyBirthdayJohnSimm

Thinking about how on the 7th it was 107 years since Jon Pertwee was born. A good acting career, but best-known for playing the Third Doctor! And his life was pretty interesting, he was a spy too! You can really see this spy stuff in Doctor Who! #JonPertwee #DoctorWho

I hope that Robert Eggers had a very happy 43rd birthday yesterday! He is making impressive films, The Witch, The Lighthouse, The Northman, Nosferatu, and soon Werwulf! I certainly wish him further success! #HappyBirthday #RobertEggers #HappyBirthdayRobertEggers

Yeh, that's literally how that Haw-Haw Niall Ferguson talks about Trump, twisting round absurd arguments to orangenose to the fascist! He's really gone down the David Irving route!

So, how are things with Mitch McConnell? This may look in poor taste, but with the sheer amount of suffering he has wrought, dragging the US into this nightmare, I feel no sympathy for that evil old senator. From SCOTUS shenanigans to not impeaching the fascist, the list goes on!

I was sorry to hear Justin Richards passing at 64 on the 28th. He did plenty of writing, but is primarily known for his impressive range of Doctor Who work, books, audio dramas, and reference books. My thoughts are with his loved ones. #RIP #JustinRichards #RIPJustinRichards

A whole year... I remember the press grinning over the Big Beautiful Bill, saying this would ensure Trump's legacy. I remember the fools saying how Trump was on the side of the working class. And all he's done is make the rich richer at the expense of the poor!

Though Dante does put the traitors in ice in the lowest circle of Hell... so Trump can go next to the Confederates in Cocytus!

Look! A new page of the Epic of Gilgamesh has been found!

I was sorry to hear of the passing of Penelope Keith at 86 on the 29th. She had a long acting career, in pieces including The Good Life, To the Manor Born, Death Comes to Pemberley, and many more! My thoughts are with her loved ones. #RIP #PenelopeKeith #RIPPenelopeKeith

I was sad to hear of Daveigh Chase passing at 35 on the 16th. Her work included voicing Lilo in Lilo & Stich, The Ring, and some other works. It really is tragic that despite being involved in such success, she was homeless and died so young. #RIP #DaveighChase #RIPDaveighChase

I just found out about Disney actress Kathryn Beaumont, who turned 88 on the 28th, and voiced Alice in Alice in Wonderland and Wendy in Peter Pan! And she's still around! I hope that she had a very happy birthday! #HappyBirthday #KathrynBeaumont #HappyBirthdayKathrynBeaumont

Wishing Mel Brooks a very happy 100th birthday! Incredible to think how long he was been around! Truly one of the great figures of comedy, The Producers, Blazing Saddles, Spaceballs, and more! Wishing him the best! #HappyBirthday #MelBrooks #HappyBirthdayMelBrooks #MelBrooks100

I watched Robin and Marian for the first time this year while ging through Robin Hood films and it really is a wonderful film! So moving and beautiful! And a great soundtrack too! #LastFourWatched #LetterboxdFriday

Little late, but I hope that a very happy Juneteenth was had! The history behind it needs to be remembered, and those who tried to prevent slavery ending and now try to cover up the history and oppress in new ways! #Juneteenth #HappyJuneteenth #Juneteenth2026 #HappyJuneteenth2026

I hope that Malcolm McDowell had a very happy 83rd birthday on the 13th! He's had an impressive career, If..., A Clockwork Orange, Superman: The Animated Series, The Mentalist, and many more! Wishing him the best! #HappyBirthday #MalcolmMcDowell #HappyBirthdayMalcolmMcDowell

I was sorry to hear of Patrick Godfrey passing at 93 on the 4th. He had a prolific acting career, Doctor Who, A Room with a View, Ever After, Les Miserables, plenty of Shakespeare, and much more! My thoughts are with his loved ones. #RIP #PatrickGodfrey #RIPPatrickGodfrey

I just look at something like George Perez's art for JLA/Avengers and you want to stop and go through all the detail! Like the arrows on this page, I just noticed the Robin Hood trick being done here!

I was sorry to hear of Marjane Satrapi passing at 56 on the 4th. She was the author behind Persepolis and other graphic novels, and her directing credits included Persepolis and Radioactive. My thoughts are with her loved ones. #RIP #MarjaneSatrapi #RIPMarjaneSatrapi

Despite The Power of the Doctor having a fair few flaws and being a bit fan-pleasing, it at least felt nice in how it brought back old companions. Tegan and Ace got plenty to do, we had that companion support group with Mel, and William Russell had a nice moment playing Ian one last time though 97!

I didn't even know that they were called Alastor, I just typed Deal with the Devil into gifs. I suppose that this Doctor Faustus image also works for Musk.

I was sad to hear of the passing of Marcia Lucas on the 27th at 80. She most famously was the film editor for Star Wars and Return of the Jedi, but also edited American Graffiti and Taxi Driver. My thoughts are with her loved ones. #RIP #MarciaLucas #RIPMarciaLucas
