FYI for people using the Buffer social media posts scheduling app: When you move from trial to paid, you have to reconnect all your channels (one-click). Apparently different APIs, app gets woozy :)

RIP John Woodvine. He, Jenny Agutter & Brian Glover reprised their movie roles in our BBC Radio ‘An American Werewolf In London’. In rehearsal I took him through an extra scene I had written (with John Landis’s permission). “Don’t worry Dirk”, said John W, “I’ll do my best to improve your writing…”

Grocery stores that have been eating the cost of tariffs are about to pump the brakes. Some are looking to be more transparent about the coming price hikes. Starting tomorrow, new tariffs of 15% to 50% hit a wide range of food items. If you’ve got a household food budget, this is a must-watch.

I'm sad to say that since leaving Twitter/X my sales for live shows have dropped quite a lot - it turns out that even though it's a dreadful place it was still useful for getting the word out about events. So any shares / RTs of my posts about live shows are hugely appreciated!

On his decision to end $500M worth of research on mRNA vaccines, RFK Jr. said: “The the data show these vaccines fail to protect effectively against upper respiratory infections like COVID and flu”. These vaccines saved 3.2M lives in the U.S. He is running a disinformation op against Americans.

So apparently, it may turn out that The Wizard of Oz at the Las Vegas Sphere wasn’t entirely made in AI and Google threw the VFX crew under the bus by claiming it was all done by artificial intelligence. If true, then fucking yikes.

40 years ago today THE BLACK CAULDRON was released in theaters, marking a low point in the Bronze Age of Walt Disney Animation Studios. Despite its beautiful animation & rich Lloyd Alexander source material, its box office failure caused this underrated film to be buried for over a decade.

A reminder to any who think they aren't affected by any of these "porn bans" need to read up on history. Purges of purity like this led to the Comics Code Authority, and the demonization of Horror as a genre across all mediums. "Smut" to the fascist is a pretty wide net for anything they dislike.
