sorry i know these kind of tweets are really annoying but i’m rewatching the Newsroom and it’s so damn fucking goddamn good and then you go online and there are all these snipey articles about why it didn’t work and 100% the only failing component of that show was its audience

we’re all stupid for not appreciating it more

after 9 years of researching for QI the one fact I can't get my head around is that this symbol DOES NOT MEAN THE PRODUCT IS RECYCLABLE

it's some greenwashing bullshit that companies can pay to put on their packaging and say they contributed to european recycling efforts Image i have never ONCE seen that explained on any packaging and it's so painfully obvious that companies use it as a loophole knowing that people will glance at it and not know any better.

HOW IS THAT ALLOWED

my masterpiece unveiled:

“Painting”
or
“The Agony Of Inspiration In The Confines Of A Godless Infinity”

Oil on Canvas, 2020 Image This piece uses natural light and warped perspective to throw the human creative instinct into harsh relief, forcing introspection into the metaphysical nature of its subjects, the viewer and art itself.

AMAZON DEMO VIDEO DIRECTOR: ok so we're showcasing the laundry baskets we sell, we just need to film you filling one with clothe-

TALENT: aha i *think* i know how laundry baskets work thank you very much, let's go for a take shall we? EXECS: ok so the video was a disaster but at least we've got the graphics team making some pictures of the laundry baskets in situ, very natural and normal places that people would put them ImageImageImage

can you think of a fictional protagonist, comedy or otherwise, who is as universally disliked in their universe as Hyacinth Bucket ie, their number one character trait is that they’re UNBEARABLE

it takes Tower Bridge 90 seconds to get fully erect, to 87 degrees

the record is 64 times in one day

but it doesn’t get it up as much as it used to :( Image MORE TOWER BRIDGE FACTS

the bastules only open as much as is needed to let each boat through, to preserve the mechanisms

except for when the Queen sails through, it always opens up fully because she is a 𝒸𝓁𝒶𝓈𝓈𝓎 𝓁𝒶𝒹𝓎 and needs her space

script idea: a How It’s Made video for ‘How It’s Made’ videos

***

NARRATOR: Everybody watches ‘How It’s Made’ videos - but how are those ‘How It’s Made’ videos made?

First, a production assistant approaches a product manufacturer with a request to film in their factory Requests that do cannot be fitted into the filming schedule are removed from the roster and kept for later series

#sexyfacttime

Netflix (obviously) weren’t allowed to film The Two Popes inside the real Sistine Chapel so the set designers built a replica in a sound stage - exactly the same in every way, except 2 inches bigger.

latimes.com/entertainment-… imagine being a set painter and getting landed with that commission lol

*Neil Buchanan rips his television off the wall and screams with fury. Hands shaking, he pours himself a drink: one part whiskey, two parts PVA glue.

in a darkened corner, The Head cowers silently, in terror and apprehension of the rage to come* hours later, haggard and drunk, Buchanan pulls up in his rusty van outside his dark abandoned studio

he makes his way across the dusty set, stumbling through the oversized set pieces that still lurk in the gloom, once so gaudy and cheerful, now grimy and dilapidated
