I live in constant surprise that the McCallister boy survived.

Yes, I have a very pressing work deadline for an actual book that I am being paid to write. This is no doubt why I have suddenly solved a thorny plot problem in a novel I've been on-and-off working on after five years. At 1.30am.

Idea. What if a world existed where domestic staff were executed if they began to show signs of dissatisfaction with their job? Die, Sad Maid...

Who people! Can anyone help me identify which serial/episode this shot of the Delgado Master is from? And, more pertinently, whether he wore this high-collared getup in multiple episodes?

I try to live my life in a way that, when I die, people won't rush to Bluesky to say, 'Well, if you can't say something nice about someone...' I COULD say something nice about Rod Liddle, but then again my job is making things up for money, so that's a low fuckin' bar.

If trans kids can't play team sports, it should be the way God intended: because they're big fuckin' nerds who would prefer to be indoors playing D&D, and not because there's systemic bias against their very existence.

If Burnham's pivot to inclusivity isn't vocal and immediate now he's got a clear path to Number 10... well, what the fuck are we even doing? He'd have a hundred-plus majority and three years left in a term. I don't want politicians where the only thing they're willing to stand for is re-election.

A lot of people point to the Car Pope as being indicative of a Car Jesus, but Cars 2 features TSA checks, which suggests a dramatic ramping-up of airport security -- the kind you'd expect after a significant and deadly terror attack on the Cars universe. A Porsche 9/11, if you will.

The TSA scene from the movie Cars 2. It's the TSA, but with cars.

You think Brexit will drop support among Republicans? In America? There's a good chunk of Republican voters who couldn't find Europe on a map. If they're still even potentially in the R camp at this point, the nuances of Brexit aren't going to sway them no matter what a clusterfuck it was.

A lot of the focus on Anthony Head's death in my feed has been from Who people, understandably, but I'd like to throw in for potentially his best and smarmiest role: Rupert in Ted Lasso. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3S16... For such an evidently nice guy, he really could play a magnificent shit.

Starting work on a historical fiction novel is basically just making a bet with yourself that Robert Harris won't beat you to it.
