Kinda obsessed with Steps releasing a "Halloween mix" of Scared of the Dark that is just the exact same mix of the song as normal but overlaid with occasional stock sound effects of lightning, screams and the wind howling

If they could also start working on undoing decades of people behaving as though the state pension pot is something they've paid into, rather than a universal benefit, we might actually get somewhere

Abolishing the pension triple lock to help pay for a universal social care system seems fair enough, as too does reducing the inheritance tax threshold.

There's some street preacher hassling people with a megaphone outside Big Tesco - a place that surely disproves the existence of any god - and honestly, I can feel teenage New Atheist Jay wanting to have a scrap with him

There's a tiktok account with hundreds of thousands of followers and it's just this woman doing a bunch of POV roleplays as though she's a teacher (except she's not, as she admits in her bio) and honestly, I think she might be the worst person who has ever lived

I do also think it's the best film he's made so far, but that's because they're all just... yeah, fun! Fine! Silly and entertaining! And that's cool, he's great at that.

Enjoyed RESIDENT EVIL, which nods lovingly to the games (indestructible padlocks! the box of shells! the dog's tentacles!) but isn't remotely beholden to them, but as is often the case with game adaptations, I couldn't shake the feeling that I'd rather be playing along rather than just watching

"Bravo" for what? Peddling and promoting the hatred and filth that got us to this point while he was Prime Minister? Arsonists don't get to talk about the importance of fire blankets.

Catarina and the Beauty of Killing Fascists at the National Theatre is very good but it does take two and a half hours (without an interval!) to reach a conclusion that I could've reached in about 10 seconds

Saw COYOTE VS. ACME earlier, which was a lot of fun but all the best bits were from the old cartoons. I could watch that idiot have his own catapult backfire on him a million times and laugh every single time.
