Reading reviews for Digger and it is pretty funny seeing how many critics are talking around the possibility that Tom Cruise is perhaps a pretty limited actor.

I think we underrate that JCO came up in 20th century New York literary circles where everyone said five most devastating insults before breakfast and as one of the last one standing, her competition is guys who get sad if their chatbot isn't sufficiently nice to them.

Listening to the new You Must Remember This (very good as usual) but the way Karina says the title of the miniseries, I always think of this.

Not to be too "every crisis is a secret opportunity" but I think the rise in generic AI stuff is a good moment to think about how you curate the art you listen to or watch or read. Engage more fully with what you like, seek it out, and support those artists!

One of the fun ironies of Alec Guinness is that despite being famously dismissive of Star Wars and Obi-Wan Kenobi, his spiritual beliefs were surprisingly mystical.

The new Insidious movie had an interesting character detail where the protagonist was wearing airpods all the time and no one comments on it. First time I've seen a film do that I think.

Well, good news about the bad weather outside
 In Irish folklore, clear weather on Michaelmas was a portent of a long winter, "Michaelmas Day be bright and clear there will be two 'Winters' in the year."[12]

Watching clips from that Golden Axe TV show and against all odds, it's pretty charming in a Dungeon & Dragons: Honor Among Theives kind of way.

I think forward planning is overrated for these things (the original Star Wars trilogy is real flying on the seat of your pants stuff when it came to plotting) but this is real Sure Jan stuff.

I for one am very surprised that Bluesky, the only place I've seen arguments about the new Boards of Canada and people livetweeting episodes of Top of the Pops from 1983, are perhaps not the most up to date on popular music.
