Fantasy, gaming, sci-fi. I follow chihuahuas.
@FKASerioJosh @QueensSpeechUK Precisely! I have said before and it bears repeating, that if men policed their own behaviour even half as effectively as they police women's, most violent crime would simply not happen.
@hughlaurie@jan_murray House doesn't practice medicine to help other people but to satisfy his intellectual curiosity, patients just get in the way. House defends that if the price of being able to function day-to-day means addiction to painkillers then that is a valid option
@hughlaurie@jan_murray House was such a good series (although your current one is better) and may I say that when I first saw it I said “gosh that man looks just like Hugh Laurie”. I had no idea you could be a dramatic actor, and just assumed it must be an uncanny resemblance.
@hughlaurie@jan_murray House was never really about medicine. The cases were just a doorway into something deeper: pain, addiction, loneliness, denial, and the fear of truly living. I’ve watched it three times, and each viewing spoke to a different part of my soul, fears, and hopes
Thanks for your critique, Janet. We actually tried a couple of episodes where House (Hugh Laurie) (please put the brackets in the right place) gets it right first time, but they were only 6 minutes long. NBC weren’t happy. Then we tried some where House never gets it right and the patient dies. The audience wasn’t happy.
One could apply your trenchant analysis to other art forms: JS Bach wrote 30 Goldberg variations on the same chord structure; Frida Kahlo painted 50 portraits of herself; Henry Moore, what??
The point is, or was, variations on a theme; if all you see is hospital, medical blah blah, then it wasn’t meant for you.
Nonetheless, I look forward to your first novel!
I appreciate @kwelkernbc FINALLY pushing back, but let’s face it, she’s participated in numerous Trump interviews with absolutely no pushback whatsoever.
Just like Chief Justice Roberts, who’s horrified by the Frankenstein he’s created, she’s had a huge part in allowing Trump to treat the Press the way he does.
What the hell is @ZackPolanski doing wearing a shirt to free the Palestinian terrorist Marwan Barghouti who murdered 5 civilians. This is TOO FAR.

i’m begging you guys to go and see this film, it’s so much fun and looks great on the big screen, i refuse to let this suffer the same way dungeons and dragons did back in 2023
If I were pregnant and doctors told me my baby had Down syndrome, I would abort.
No amount of social media posts romanticizing profound disability would change my mind.
Love is not enough. Caring for a severely disabled child demands far more — resources, support, energy, and resilience most people don’t have.
The world is cruelest to those who can’t help themselves. Bringing a child into that reality, knowing the lifelong struggles ahead, isn’t compassion. It’s denial.
Women deserve the right to make this deeply personal choice without guilt or judgment.
Real motherhood sometimes means the hardest decisions. 💔
It's funny how the female reporter is just sitting there all calm while the man who told you that a woman is too emotional to be president is having a full blown crash out on national TV.
Trump Calling Welker “crooked” “stupid” and then the ultimate—“darling”—for asking him what evidence he has that elections are rigged? What is “crooked” is the money for the ballroom, what is “stupid” are the tariffs. And what is “darling” is a first class journalist.
Welker simply DESTROYED Trump. Not through insults. Not by invective. Not with lies. She simply presented Cadet Bone Spurs with FACTS, and when he tried spewing his lies, she called him on it.
TACO looked like the defeated fool that he is.
