#DoctorWho people of Twitter: this JPEG might be useful right about now. (Also, why are you still on Twitter? BlueSky's almost exactly the same, except without the adverts and Nazi apologists.)

This headline was so heavily mocked that the BBC changed it, and now there are polar bears going: "Whoa, whoa, whoa. A caravan? You're saying I weigh the same as a caravan?"

I mean, it's been clear since 2020 that New New Labour's transition into an explicitly right-wing party would end any meaningful democracy in the UK and lay the ground for a literal fascist takeover. I just wasn't expecting the far right to try speed-running it like this.

For this year's #DoctorWho, the surprise end-of-season villain should be Aggedor. And the reveal should be a song called "Aggedor All Along".

Okay. Since this was the year when people stopped accusing me of libel for stating the obvious... here, finally, is my Neil Gaiman bit. #Thats2024

Over the years / decades, I've had vocal arguments with people I know / people I knew about the obvious terribleness of Neil Gaiman, Richard Dawkins, and Russell Brand. So if nothing else, this has been an "I told you so" sort of year. #Thats2024

How does he know I'm fat? I mean, I *am*, but how does he know that? Just going on probabilities, or...?

You can tell I'm almost done with Twitter because I forgot to put the hat on this year.

Anyway, I've set up a Mastodon. I stabbed someone to death with a pair of tusks and left huge footprints near the body.

No, really, though. I've set up a Mastodon. I know you're all migrating to Bluesky, but there's something specific I want to try next year, and Mastodon's ideal for it. Sooo... yeah, that should be happening. Soon. Ish.

Have you ever rehearsed what you'd think about if you were in the "choose the form of the destructor" scene from "Ghostbusters", because you're worried that if it actually happened then the *real* first thing to come into your mind might be embarrassing or problematic?
54%Yes, because I'm normal.

In the '80s, when we were brought up on US pop-culture but didn't have t'internet for fact-checking, we saw "Ghostbusters" and assumed Stay Puft was a real brand from That America. After all, the joke wouldn't work unless the Marshmallow Man were a well-known character. Would it?

Since this is flexing so much on previous Aardman, wouldn't it have been funnier for the zoo animal threatening Gromit to be *that* guy from "Creature Comforts"? "I want... MEAT. You understand? Not the, the, the English dog. In my country, we have meat. We do not eat the dog."
