I wrote a big sci-fi adventure series with a cast of diverse, surprising characters to fall in love with, plot twists and jokes. Half is set in apocalyptic Yorkshire with big dangerous robots on the prowl. The other half is set inside a very unusual kind of cyberspace. rustyquill.com/show/rez-high/

The Great ADHD Myth? doc was one entitled right wing bloke saying "because I say so" for 60 minutes while some Harley Street cranks into "vibes over medication" and a GP fascist repeated their one talking point for 60 minutes. A dogshit documentary of the highest order with no thesis or evidence.

Really enjoying Widow’s Bay. I hope it sticks the landing. It’s like Parks and Rec crossed with Sam Raimi and Stephen King. It works a treat so far. Patricia is my favourite character.

Contributed a commentary on the amazing Fando y Lis with Kat Ellinger, and I wrote an essay for the booklet on Santa Sangre. This boxset is an epic of epicness. The commentary is one of my absolute favourite things I’ve done to date.

Strongly recommend Rez High by @brendonconnelly.bsky.social - well written and acted, and sounds great! In post-apocalyptic Yorkshire, a gaggle of kids search for answers about the before-times by playing a Grange Hill-style VR game. 5/6 episodes released so far, catch up before Friday's finale!

Marcia Jean Kurtz worked with Al Pacino on two of his early films - The Panic in Needle Park and Dog Day Afternoon. She tells me about both experiences and how much she especially loved working with Pacino & director Sidney Lumet on Dog Day Afternoon: buff.ly/8iTyyru

Furious that Chris Nolan would disregard historical accuracy in adapting The Odyssey by making a "movie" with "cameras" instead of memorizing the entire story and then going on a nationwide tour to sing it to us while tripping on ergotized barley

This World Cup is the moment football passed the event horizon into the Baudrillardian simulacrum. Money has ruined the game for years. But this World Cup is the apotheosis of the rot. The World Cup did not take place, etc, etc.

Mel Brooks is 100 years old. He made better films, but I watched History of the World Part 1 (1981) so many times growing up. It’s my personal favourite. Top-tier silliness.

No less than 60 million stars in one image. It's possible thanks to ESA's Euclid mission. For just one day, Euclid turned its gaze to the crowded heart of the Milky Way and captured the largest, most detailed photo ever taken of our galaxy's centre in visible light. Let's dive deeper 👇 🔭 🧪 ☄️ 1/8

A dense field of tiny stars fills this square image taken by the European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope. The lower and central areas are dominated by bright yellow and gold colours, forming a textured background similar to fine glitter or sand. Dark brown and black patches cut irregularly through the yellow regions, like ink stains or clouds of smoke. Toward the upper left, the colours shift to purple and reddish tones, blending gently into the surrounding star field. Small blue points of light are scattered across the image.

I love what Baudrillard said about the Matrix. The Matrix is the kind of film the Matrix would make. Words to that effect.

Revisited Bertrand Bonello’s Nocturama. An incredible film. Better at understanding Baudrillard than the Matrix.
