well done lads, it's 2026 & you've managed to allow the fucking Sun to position itself as slightly less hostile to people who support LGBT+ rights than The Big Supposedly Gay Dancing Show

At the very least, it confirms The Sun hates trans people less than it hates The BBC.

Apart from anything, if AI made a version of Event Horizon I didn’t hate on release, it wouldn’t be the version I love now.

What is the impact of the Ukraine war on US gasoline and diesel prices? None.

Oh, absolutely. Insurance could easily allow me to get a new copy of Introspective, but it’s not the copy I’ve worn down since I bought it on release.

CDs are all backed up locally and on two cloud platforms as well. It’s the vinyl I worry about most.

The problem is that insurers think CDs are basically worthless. I’ve got most of my collection in Discogs and have the median value on the insurance, though.

You're not the only one who dislikes it. Elizabeth Sladen's daughter has issues. I don't want to link to the video but her comment is perfect

On the plus side, I have a front power button. On the minus, I have a cat sleeping on the top heat exhaust.

I adore the bench seating, but there’s no way that survives to launch.

Has anyone asked Jeff Noon how he feels about that name?

Don’t lecture me on the old ways; I was here when the first DVD pressing of Twister was made. I paid £100 for the LaserDisc box set of T2. Which is probably why I’m used to films being this expensive to own on disc, admittedly. But I’m not going to begrudge people buying streams at £4 a time.

The Telegraph aren’t wrong, exactly, but when Iran’s weapons are supplied by Russia it’s not *just* Ukraine that are paying the price, it’s the US military casualties as well.

The first Russian diesel cargo heading for the US left St Petersburg on September 22, two weeks *before* Trump announced the deal with Putin, Windward reports. The Greek-flagged tanker Minerva Zen carrying 275,000 barrels of diesel/gasoil is due at the US East Coast around 11–12 October.

Discs are lovely. Discs are great. Let’s not pretend everyone has the budget for this approach.

Bethany wore a “Protect The Dolls” t-shirt during rehearsals. The BBC posted it on their socials then quietly deleted and reposted it without showing her from the front. On TV last night they actually blurred the message #Strictly

I see we’re doing the “only a complete rube watches streaming, while I, a sophisticate, buys the disc” again. I ordered the Steelbook of Project Hail Mary as soon as I could. It might be arriving in November for around £40 (Amazon have deleted the listing, so I can’t even confirm). Stream was £4.

My AppleTV streaming copy of Project Hail Mary was £3.99 and I can watch it again now. My UHD is now coming in November for about ten times that. It’s a cost and timing issue, not a skill one.
