It’s official – the UK now has the worst death toll in Europe — MeerkatMusings

As we enter into territory we really should never have been anywhere near, having been told that we’re succeeding by a lying government, we find that government being aided by a media that’s largely interested in deflection and distraction, whilst government ministers tell doctors who point out facts to ‘watch their tone’ (some nice subtle […]

It’s official – the UK now has the worst death toll in Europe — MeerkatMusings

This nicely sums up my fears, hopes and disgusts right now.

TWO acts of incredible hypocrisy in one day! We’re being spoiled!

Obviously this stuff is tiny drops of water compared to the vast ocean of unfathomable events right now, but I just can’t let it go-

First, Allison Pearson is denied something in her prvileged life:

Second, Piers Morgan can excuse pussy-grabbing, racism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, xenophobia, dangerous arrogance, white-supremeist-endorsing, fine-people-on-both-sides-ing and more, but he draws the line at inane mishandling of a pandemic (presumably because a pandemic could, after all, affect him:)

They never thought leopards could eat THEIR faces.

The Big Night In Blackadder bit

Since I posted the Doctor Who segement of The Big Night In I thought, let’s post the Blackadder bit as well. It… wasn’t actually much to do with Blackadder, and much more to do with Prince William, but what the hey. Also it led into the Clap for the NHS, which is obviously a political minefield of the “Fuck the Tories forever” variety right now but I still found it kinda touching. Hearing clapping on the TV and going out to hear more clapping, and even damn fireworks finally, it was… I don’t know. It was an experience.

Things are SO BAD in America that I’m reblogging the Metro! Wow! Seriously, this whole thing is so bizarre, unpleasant and unsettling that I don’t even really have words for it.

Well done to Paula Reid though.

The Last Zoom on Earth

The Last Man on Earth did a reunion from quarantine and talked about the show, and although I didn’t get to see it live it was a BIG DEAL for me. Some highlights:

  • Chris Miller describing the show as “kind people coming together in extraordinary circumstances”
  • Will Forte having fanmade dolls of all the main characters on his shelf
  • Cleo Coleman and Mary Steenburgen calling each other the best kisser
  • Mel Rodriguez pop-and-locking
  • People showing off both their children and their dogs
  • Will and Kristen twerking
  • Everyone who had an Oscar holding it up
  • Will not being able to remember anything
  • Mary Steenburgen talking about how The Last Man on Earth helped get The Good Place off the ground
  • The cast singing the praises of Keith Williams (Jasper) and his new movie
  • Ted Danson making a cameo
  • Will talking about where his onscreen kids would be now
  • Some serious discussion of how TLMOE accidentally predicted some of the current situation
  • The cast being such good, sweet friends after all this time, oh gosh my heart

Anyway that was all done to raise money for Get Us PPE so go check it out!
