Won't be watching it, so can finally stop prattling on about how MG is so woeful at the helm that my dog could do a better job.

It’s weird how people who insist on what they call a biological definition of sex in terms of how they treat trans people seem to ignore the fact that the brain is a biological reality which has something to say about gender identity.

The saddest thing is that this box office failure'll put off Cruise going for the more interesting roles and he'll remain a running man till he can run no longer.

I didn't *hate* DIGGER, because it took the big swings, and the ending is fucking *perfect* - but it just seemed to be a juddering fleshlight used to stroke everyone's ego.

Not reselling, as they'll just become part of the house - but was super thrilled to score these RANGO cups for £1 each at the local chazza.

And also an amazing tribute to Rob Reiner: "As you wish" - god, how I BAWLED.

I'll be sad to leave THE BEAR - sobbed during the end. I think S2 for me is my favourite overall, followed by 4,5,1 and 3. Now I want to see a mini-season of Ebraheim and his franchise.

The 36th anniversary of German reunification & I’m fascinating by how conflicted Germany still is about it. It was a West takeover & in many areas the east was far more advanced, but the left remains in denial about how repressive & backward other aspects were www.anclogan.ie/contested-me...

Contested Memory: The German Democratic Republic and Its Erasure
