Really enjoyed Thunderbolts. Good fun, with a tight script and an interesting theme. Totally works as a standalone film too.

Feels like a real missed opportunity that Tom Hardy's character in Havoc isn't called Jack Havoc.

The “in effect; virtually” meaning of 'literally' is not a new sense. It has been in regular use since the 18th century and may be found in the writings of Mark Twain, Charlotte Brontë, James Joyce, and many others.

I remember watching my dad playing The Bard's Tale on the ZX Spectrum in the 80s. The first one I really got into was Ultima 5.

I was addicted to that for a while, and I think the point was you were supposed to gradually let go of the laundromat business and focus on the arcades, but I could never leave a basket of laundry sitting on the side unattended without immediately dealing with it.

No trans people were consulted on this decision that only affects trans people. In fact trans people were actively barred from consulting on this decision that only affects trans people. But transphobic bigots? Oh they got consulted for days. Fucking grim. I'm absolutely fuming.

I finished Still Wakes The Deep last night. I really enjoyed it and it was technically excellent, but I would've preferred a slower build up. It's like if The Thing skipped straight from the dog exploding to the blood test scene. Better than The Rig, though.

In case you want some sweet news today. I’m volunteering at the book fair at my kid’s school, and discovered Dav Pilkey paid for the whole thing. For the entire school. Every kid pre-k through fifth grade (the whole school) goes home with two free books.

Unsolicited advice for newbie authors attending conventions: Do not lie to authors who are at a table selling their books. Don't fucking do it bro. Ask for advice? Go right ahead! Approach under false pretense of interest in our books before you reveal your real reason for talking to us? DO NOT.

In my book, Noobs, Claudia Tarley is a trans woman and famous game developer who has gone missing, until the kids in the book find her trapped inside her own game. One of the themes of the book is video games as a safe space to explore identity.

Watched The Substance tonight, second watch for me, first for my wife who loved it. I think it's excellent, fully deserving of it's award nominations and should definitely have picked up more wins. It's not subtle but there is nuance there if you look for it, and overall it's just incredibly sad.

Protecting Trans people is the cornerstone to the Democrats having any kind of future as a credible party. Like the sides are being drawn up and you really have to make the case pretty clearly: "We're the ones who care about humanity." Any less than that and what are you even doing?

Finally got to see The People's Joker (3rd cinema trip in 4 days!) and I really loved it. It's chaotic and messy and mad but there's a really heartfelt story at it's core that really shines through.

I recommend Young Adam. I rewatched it last week for the first time in a while. He was on another level in that film.
