"Late summer-autumn: the camp started falling apart. November: Kurtz orders the assassinations. The army tried one last time to bring him back. But he kept going. They lost him. He was gone. Nothing but rumours and rambling intelligence.” #celebritytraitors

My theory is that Amol Rajan left Today because like other big name journos he deep down* really thinks HE should be the story.

August. The first month of the fifth year of doing this. As yet no repeats.

Delighted to report that the real Belgium away shirts do not have the Magritte legend featured on the social media representation of said shirt, which means that the promo image was even more appropriate than it first appeared.

This morning’s @bristol247.bsky.social article and something kind of similar.

I understand they could never have called it Batman Legocy, but that doesn’t mean I can’t also be disappointed

Finally saw Sweet Smell Of Success - what a dark-hearted film it is. Dialogue so dense and poetic it’s hard to follow whats going on. But it sure lingers. Grateful to my film buff friend for immediately lending me the director’s book so I can work out why…

Two of the biggest reasons why I made the family stop at this old motel in Joshua Tree, and why even wearing a stupid hat didn’t stop me wanting to capture the moment.

This weather, this time of year - it just sounds like this to me. It is Small Faces season, and this just sounds amazing, still.

Found a Mad Men box set in a charity shop. £2 - couldn’t not. (Some sense is kicking in I should be prepping for streamer collapse.) The media outlet calling depictions (S1 alone) of brutal misogyny, blatant racism, forced adoption and workplace bullying “sheer joy”? That’ll be the Mail On Sunday.

Finished this over the weekend. It’s very good. There’s a recurring line that defines America as “an adolescence without end“ and I keep thinking about that.

This is the cat. Real ‘draw me like one of your French cats’ vibes. Sadly, his name is not Cat Winslet. It is Liam. This feels apt for a true rocknroll star of cats.

Watched Total Recall last night. Something familiar about the car driven by the stooge of the mindvirus-wielding authorian bad guy...

I think that’s why this is my favourite book on the Stones, because you get to have both at the same time.

Hazel Irvine very much the Michel Barnier of this Masters semi-final discourse. Fear for the Hendry/Parrott camp tbh

Started that Guardian list of live albums thinking, well, it’s Bill Withers isn’t it, then got to #1 and remembered, no they’re right, it’s this. Ferocious, sexy, all Killer. Perking me right up after daaaays in bed.

Trigger warning needed on #thetraitors. Some of us have only just emerged from a gift scenario with our own boomer narcissists, you know.

About 90% of Small Faces records are shoddy compliations, of course. But this was my first contact with them, age 16. It was a cassette. It was perfect.

Not sure why I’d never seen The Haunting before but it was an absolute treat for the Sunday night of Halloween weekend. Creepy, unsettling and ambiguous. Currently on iplayer.
