“We are not calling for violence. We are not calling for Civil War." Yeah, that's something a totally normal group of people have to point out.

I will pray for him, if his family send me a $15,000 tithe.

It'll never happen because life is fundamentally unfair but if Trump was facing prison tomorrow, just imagine how quickly his doctors would be falling over each to testify that his declining mental capacity would make incarceration unsuitable.

If you'd like to be a paid subscriber, you've no idea what a difference it'd currently make. E.g. just ten subscribers paying the price of a coffee once a month would cover my electric bill. No extra content for paid subs - I want to run what Blindboy calls a system based on soundness. Thanks.

All the obituaries about Jeffrey Archer will be especially apt as they will be something else he didn't write.

Nice drinks out for the missus' birthday.

Two chilled drinks with a beach in the background.

What *could* have the potential to be interesting is a 2026 Fawlty Towers where, due to the waning tourism trade, Basil is reluctantly forced to take in families of asylum seekers & misunderstandings ensue. Unfortunately, the worst person alive to actually co-write this show would be John Cleese.

A simpler explanation for the poor box office of Digger on its opening weekend is that it looks like absolute fucking dogshit. That can impact on a film's performance.

All those years of protesting to get the US military off British soil and apparently all it took was stealing some diesel near an airbase.

It's easier to understand when you realise that neither of them deeply believe in anything they argue for or against and the animating force at play here is that both of them would rather die than spend a single day where nobody paid them any attention because they're basically Fascist Tinkerbells.

The people telling the Pope to be quiet about AI 'because he's never been elected to office' are the same ones who did a little dance when Musk was given the keys to the Oval Office, right?

"I could've been snorting chopped-up Ritalin off the naked ass of my female children before playing a round of golf with more missed shots than a blind sniper, then relaxing with a troubled minor in a massage room in a way that will scar them for life but instead I'm doing this. First."

I just wish he was dead. I know it won't solve anything & the person replacing him could be even worse & his death would spawn a million conspiracy theories & I'm meant to be better by not wishing it but the world has the worst person that's ever been alive the same time as me & I wish he wasn't.

You could swallow a bag of Scrabble tiles and fart out a more coherent statement than Trump can manage at this point. We're days away from him saying his neighbours are stealing the newspaper off his front step.

Not-watching Fellowship Of The Ring for the nth time & it's easy to forget there was 1,000 ways it could've been terrible (as proven subsequently by The Hobbit) but the three films manage to stick the landing so well you just take it for granted they're great when they so easily could've sucked.

Council of Rivendell: "I could wield the One Ring to defeat Sauron's armies!" "How would that work, then?" "What?" "Okay, you get the ring, then what?" "It's the ring of power that..." "...makes you invisible. Then...?" "Well, I'd be like, invisible & stuff, and..." "And...?" "Fuck you, I want it."

Swap 'Heads We're Dancing' and 'Straight Down The Middle' with 'This Woman's Work' and 'Top Of The City' and The Sensual World is every bit as good as Hounds Of Love. That's my take that nobody needed.

One group of people whose judgement you can't trust are those who say that Hank Hill would vote for Trump. He'd be appalled by him.

Not-watching the Costner Robin Hood on Netflix with the subtitles on (because I'm old) & when Connery turns up, before anyone identifies him as King Richard, the subtitles refer to him as 'Man wearing a crown'.

Imagine being in a room with JRM and JRM isn't the most historically-ignorant, failson, bowtie-wearing fascist lickspittle in that room.

On the occasion of the passing of one of its stars, a reminder that if you have any fond recollections of Animal House having watched it as a kid, if you want to preserve those fond memories, for the love of God don't watch it again, because CHRIST ALMIGHTY.

I'm a sucker for a podcast about a show I love. Just started one where one host has only seen a handful of episodes and the other couldn't remember the name of the lead actor. Neither seem to especially like the show. Not a great begunning.

You can tell The Mummy is a queer-coded film because the main villain doesn't like cats.

This is like the old Tommy Cooper joke where he tells the doctor "It hurts when I touch *here*, it hurts when I touch *here* and it hurts when I touch *here*" and the doctor says "You've broken your finger"

It was Santa Clarita Diet and I'm now, several years after everybody else, furious that it got cancelled. Because funny, smart, original shows with a dynamite cast aren't apparently something anybody wants. WHY NOT JUST BUY ANOTHER FUCKAWFUL PODCAST, EH? WHY NOT JUST DO THAT, YOU SHITTING MORONS?

Oddly specific bugbear of mine - when a rich character has a bar in their house stocked with really basic booze. Example - rewatching Glass Onion and Ed Norton's character is pouring out a glass of bog-standard £30 Bulleit bourbon. Perfectly fine bourbon but a billionaire would have Stagg or PVW.

Me, watching Dracula: Y'see, they have Renfield eating insects to show how morally degenerate he's become. My cat, walking past with half a moth flapping out of her mouth: I just did a number on that litter tray, go deal with it.
