Thinking about the movie RRR and I feel we need an Irish version. Completely over the top, ahistorical story of Irish independence. James Connolly battering Lloyd George with nunchucks. Michael Collins taking out 200 black & tans barehanded. Dev defeating Monty in a dance-off. Let’s do this.

I am not joking when I say this. Jive Bunny is now very, very good. You just don’t know yet because all musical mashups circulating today is from the Stars On 45 era. Jive Bunny et al have solved infinite musical mashups.

I saw Arthur Christmas in the cinema on Xmas eve the year it released. Our family now watches it every Christmas Eve. I think it’s perfect. (Also: Life of Brian, Get Carter, Kind Hearts & Coronets, All Of Us Strangers)

Aspect of the AI boom that's not being discussed enough: it's driving up interest rates. The hyperscalers are issuing bonds in markets usually reserved for governments. That's putting pressure on other borrowers, even the US treasury.

Labour's path to beating Reform requires them to find a policy that's (a) extremely popular and (b) too left-wing for Reform to co-opt. Nationalisation seems like the obvious choice. But they won't do it because they're all Thatchites at heart.

Seriously: George Costanza’s parents. They don’t do anything specifically evil; they just grind all the goodness and warmth out of the people around them, which is why their son became such an amoral monster.

I think Choosin’ Texas is a pretty good song and I feel like a weird deviant for saying so. I know we’re trying to hold the line against pop-country, but I just can’t find anything specifically wrong with it. It’s basically fine.

Fly-tipping is like cow-tipping, but you do it to a fly. Really difficult skill to master. Most people start with cows and practice on increasingly smaller animals. Dogs. Gerbils. Spiders.

It’s fine to live in a bubble, but you can’t then act surprised that things are happening outside of your bubble. You’ve chosen to stop listening to contemporary pop music. That’s fine! You’d probably hate a lot of it! But the world does actually carry on without you.

When watching Better Call Saul, it occurred to me that it’s quite similar to GTA 5, what with three simultaneous stories about different types of criminal. Only just discovered that the guy who voiced Trevor in GTA is in one of my favourite BCS scenes.

If the AI era has taught us anything, it’s this: it’s fine to judge people based on their aesthetic preferences

Just back from an absolutely packed screening of Your Name. So full that they had to put on a second screening next door. Once again I must ask: why didn’t they release Avatar Aang in cinemas?

The mask-optional lesbian bar story reminds me so much of the early days of Bluesky, except that we had more people in clown school.

Asking other PMs to post a letter: Boris: Chucks the letter in the bin and keeps the stamp money Sunak: "What's a 'post office'?" Keir: Gives you a speech about why it's impossible to post letters Burnham: Sings you a song about why it's impossible to post letters Truss: Tries to eat the letter

I keep posting about how Theresa May is the best British PM of recent years, not because I like her but because she had a basic level of competence that her successors haven't had. Not even competence as a PM. I just mean I'd trust her with a very simple task, like posting a letter for me.
