Am open to the possibility that she may be dating Colonel Blimp

I'm fascinated what "First World War Art" could be. Planes, Kandinsky, photos of Blackadder Goes Forth?

(This isn't a knock against the new Resident Evil. It's a lot of fun!)

Much more puzzle focused than action too. Those locks, oof!

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 1h

That's very cool! I'm not overly surprised that he didn't have a huge amount to say about Leprechaun.

Nealgy has surprisingly much more Classic Resident Evil energy than the new Resident Evil movie.

Not sure if it's the author or the actress but either is impressive for several reasons.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 16h

It would probably be pretty good

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 16h

Yeah, all that 110th stuff is a complete drag, they really course correct after.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 17h

I mean I would read it.

Nominated for the Rooney Prize immediately!

Every month on her, a Hugo nominated writer with a book series about a secret organization fighting Lovecraftian beasts will get the easiest 2K likes on a skeet where they accuse literary fiction of being hacky

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 17h

In its defense, it's a great book!

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 17h

I am a fan too!

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 17h

Oh this sounds great! Will look it up.

I think we should end the snobbery against romance novels but in return, we also need to retire the "every literary fiction novel is about a sad horny professor in New England" bit too.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 17h

The Book Keeps the Score!

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 17h

I think it's fine to think romance novels are as valuable as literary fiction (course I would say that, a cursed YA author) but it does make me laugh that every month someone gets praised to the heavens for an equally dopey "All lit fiction is about horny professors!" take.

I suffer from regency bias which means that I believe a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

If the AI industry really does collapse, the Protein industry will have to do a lot of heavy lifting.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 20h

Hah! Yeah, I wish they would go back to the old system and just call it AI for the board meeting.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 20h

Hah! I mean the correct decision

Still hopeful for Leprechaun't Hardly Wait

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 20h

There was a moment where it got a little better and now it's completely gone to crap.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 21h

Finally one of these lists I can agree with!

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 21h

Leprechaun Returns is controversial because it wipes out all the canon after the first Leprechaun but it's all worth it so it can tell a baggage-free, weirdly anti-renewable energy, story.

Cethan Leahy @cethanleahy.com · 21h

Oh yes, it's very detailed in a pleasing way.

Yeah, my one reservation is Tim Curry's odd song at the end but otherwise, very scary picture.

No, I'm pretty sure these are accurate.

You have to respect the craft, regardless.

Hahah! I'm here to educate

For National Poetry Day, another favourite of mine and brother, Ginsberg knew what he was talking about.

Howl By Allan Ginsberg
Coming out of my cage and I've been doing just fine
Gotta, gotta be down, because I want it all
It started out with a kiss, how did it end up like this?
It was only a kiss, it was only a kiss
Now I'm falling asleep and she's calling a cab
While he's having a smoke and she's taking a drag
Now they're going to bed and my stomach is sick
And it's all in my head, but she's touching his
Chest now, he takes off her
Dress now, let me go
And I just can't look, it's killing me
They're taking control

For National Poetry Day, a personal favourite of mine and one I think about more and more in these troubled times.

The Second Coming
By W.B. Yeats

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that'd been away
Haven't changed, hadn't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were askin' if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were livin' downtown
Drivin' all the old men crazy

[Chorus]
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
(I said) The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

I haven't but looking it up now!

Still living at home I wager... this economy, eh?!

Am exploring a kind of Luddism where I have a moral objection to using any program more advanced than what I could run on Windows 95.
