Revived my blog after 2 years for an on this day retrospective. Sometimes, it's still strange to think of the significance of where I was at 7 years old, experiencing such a monumental day in recent history.

If music channels were anything like they used to be 15-20 years ago, it would be non-stop Dolly Parton 24 hours a day for months on end and I wouldn't have it any other way 🥺
After her reviews of The Count of Monte Cristo and Frankenstein, I just know that Lucy Mangan is not the right person to be reviewing a comic book property. This woman's job at The Guardian clearly relies on not being familiar with the original material.

ANTI-ZIONISM PROTECTED BY UK LAW
We have set a binding legal precedent!
Anti-Zionism is now a protected philosophical belief under the Equality Act 2010. Full stop.
The Employment Appeal Tribunal finally handed down its judgment this morning. The University of Bristol’s attempt to overturn my 2024 Employment Tribunal victory has been comprehensively dismissed. We won on every single count.
This is a public humiliation for the genocidal Zionist regime, whose assets in Britain bullied the University into sacking me and then dragged them into this futile appeal. Their legal strategy has collapsed. Their pressure campaign has spectacularly backfired.
Thanks to everyone who believed in me and supported me. This is a victory for the whole anti-Zionist movement.
A full statement will follow shortly.
From the River to the Sea
Palestine will be free! 🇵🇸

You know that feeling when you're reading a book and something happens that makes you throw the book across the room? I just had that for the first time in a while with a physical book and nearly ripped the cover 😅
It would be ideal right now if my freezer had space for my pillow right now because this is the kind of hot weather where my room is so hot the pillow feels like I've taken it out of the dryer 🥵
So the last time a UK prime minister remained in office between general elections and serving a full term was... *checks notes* David Cameron in 2010-2015. With a coalition government. And before that was Tony Blair in 2001-2005.
I dislike superhero suits that have a short skirt, especially when adapted to live action for stunt camera angles that go for an angle where you almost get an up-the-skirt shot. I really appreciate that the new Supergirl promos aren't shying away from the skirt length shorts 🙌🦸♀️
Additional thought on this - Daredevil: Born Again and Scrubs also made sure that you could start the revivals as a completely new viewer without overexplaining or making you feel like you missed something. You can start with Born Again S1 without watching Netflix Daredevil or
A lot of revivals/sequels to well loved popular TV shows and movies years after they ended become nostalgia fests that rely on fan service rather than an actual story so it's refreshing when they actually do act as a continuation with something new while staying faithful to 1/2
The Defenders, you can watch the Scrubs revival without watching S1-8 of the original show. The nostalgia fests usually end up making the revivals unwatchable for new viewers. Very much like how the 2005 launch of New Who meant you could start watching Doctor Who with Eccleston's
the original. It's why Daredevil: Born Again and the revival of Scrubs have worked so well. It makes me even more disappointed that the Buffy revival didn't work out because from the sound of things, it fit in the same category. 2/2

Considering the fact that Supernatural went on 10 more seasons than Kripke's original plan, I'm not surprised he did this 🤣 The show can end wrapped up well with no lags instead of exhaustively getting worse and better each season from overextending it. https://t.co/gDYAWr1H4d
