Just finished this beautiful, sad, incredibly well-written story about a man struggling to accept his own sexuality. Deeply human and truly brilliant. #JamesBaldwin

I saw some AI slop showing #DianaSpencer supporting flagshaggers trying to intimidate asylum seekers hardly “a Saint” but I doubt she’d be on board with such far-right messaging. @genuinechitchat.bsky.social, Megan & I discussed her complicated legacy in #Spencer2021 #PrepareForPrattle

An excellent end to #TheHighRepublic novels @charlessoule.bsky.social did a phenomenal job, as expected! THR is incredibly special and has been an absolute roller coaster for the last 4 years in all the best ways. Top tier #StarWars.

Watched #Thunderbolts today, no spoilers but I really enjoyed it! Some funny moments, good action, perfect runtime, story makes sense and the third act landed! All the actors are fantastic and there are two post credit scenes, the first is fun but the end-credits scene is long and worth the wait!

No spoilers; just finished episode 6 of #Andor; incredible. Looking forward to recording thoughts tomorrow! Eps 5 & 6 contain some of my favourite Star Wars dialogue ever. So much clever political manoeuvring, tense action scenes & the building towards something that we Rebels fans know is coming...

The S1 finale of #BornAgain was brutal! Some twists, some turns, action, political commentary and an ending (& post-credit scene) that make me immediately excited for S2! An incredible season, up there with my favourite TV shows! I cannot wait for A2. DD & Andor are the top Marvel/SW shows right now

I am incredibly excited! All of Adam's work, especially his SW stuff is top tier. Shadow Of The Sith is one of the best standalone SW novels so I'm sure this will be too, especially as he also has a great knowledge on what Vader gets up to in the comics!

No spoilers, but Jesus what an episode. If they land ep 9 of like they did episode 8, it's gonna be in my top 5 series of all time. #BornAgain is the Andor of the MCU; a whole other level. Although (re)watching S1-3 of (Netflix) DD is recommended, if you can't, just watch Born Again, it's top tier.

No spoilers, but I loved ep 4 of #BornAgain. Feels like a slow burn, loving the politics of it all and it feels so so real and grounded. So long as the MCU/CGI action was a one-off for the first episode, I am all-in.
