I have to be honest, if the cut animated scenes still existed, or ever existed, in vaguely broadcast quality form (let alone HD or UHD) we would’ve probably seen them already in some form over the last 16 years. If they do exist and haven’t been seen… Well, there’s not long left to grab the film...

Retrax’s attempt to eat a Ukrainian cake was foiled by a simple sheet of cellophane.

Anyway, speaking of Biden, it was pretty amazing to see so many parts of the British media in absolute meltdown over the fact Biden visited Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland last week, getting furious about this "anti-British" American president and so on (and still pining for Trump...

“Rev.” Sharpton would get on well with Corbyn and his cult.

Pretty much, right? I mean, over here the Tories wouldn’t risk doing anything overtly homophonic (and it was their government who legalised equal marriage), but trans people, perfectly acceptable scapegoat. Not coincidentally using the same sort of language their party used against gay, lesbian...

I had to look up on tfwiki.net if Devcon was an existing character, rather than something invented for Legacy – the design looked too specific to be a pre-colour or original design. And there he is. Had no idea. But then we didn’t get more than the first season of the cartoon on broadcast...

Would be ‘funny’ if Trump ran third-party and split the right-wing vote. Which honestly, is why I think Trump’s going to be GOP candidate…

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/apr/03/no-10-denies-using-dog-whistle-politics-in-grooming-gangs-crackdown-rishi-sunak They’ve already tried “trans people are a threat to your kids”, now the government’s doing “brown people are a threat to your (white) kids”.

I like this series, and I l’m someone who has absolutely no interest in football (despite, or because, being a few roads away from the stadium of a Premier League team). Season 2 got way too saccharine for my tastes, and I didn’t enjoy the first episode of this season, but the most recent two...

Sinister electric bug of doom!

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2023/mar/22/boris-johnson-facing-formal-reprimand-for-misleading-parliament I’ll be massively surprised if there are any actual negative consequences for either Johnson or the Tory party from this.

The longer time goes on, the more that I think making the internet a mass-market form of communication rather than a niche nerd interest was a colossal mistake.

Still relevant 30+ years later.

Younger members of the Transformers fan community won’t remember this, but there were loads of guys exactly like this oddball in the online fandom during the ‘90s and early ‘00s who were obsessed with bringing back the Sunbow G1 cartoon exactly as-is, and wouldn’t accept any other form of...

I’d have no problem scrapping daylight savings time, but as long as we had BST (British Summertime, as in GMT+1) all year round instead of regular GMT. I hate it when it gets pitch black dark at 4pm in October…

There’s lots to like about the way Germany’s electoral system works. The weekend voting, for a start – here in the UK elections are always on Thursdays, and you can end up arriving at a polling station after work, have to stand outside queuing for hours, and not actually being able to vote...

“Billions” of people want to come to the UK, according to the Home Secretary. Good luck feeding them all with the current food shortages!

Found everyone’s favourite Gamera-a-like in the bottom of my socks drawer.

The British version of Trump’s “build the wall” slogan. New drinking game: take a shot whenever a Tory politician or their media surrogates say “stop the boats!” on TV or radio. Death from liver damage guaranteed within 48 hours.
