Watching the 2nd Shazam movie and a) Don't make a big point of super speed if you ignore it 90% of the time and worse b) WHAT THE FUCK IS WITH THE SKITTLES ADVERT? That is beyond satire level bad product placement. It makes Nescafe in Night Watch look graceful.

Another Hideout Whisky tasting - this time the Mars distilleries, with a rep coming over from Japan, and bringing some fancy stuff, including the first IPA aged whisky I have actually really enjoyed, a dram with some chocolate malt in the mix, and a surprise unlabelled final dram

The female Japanese rep, wrapped up well against the cold night explaining the whisky to us.

The line up of the bottles, including a blended malt of the two distilleries aged in a coastal area, a 2023 release , an unlabelled special drop and more

A photo of the shiny metallic blue labelled actually really good Komagatake IPA finish whisky

Yeah, but what about the people caught near an RAF base with large amounts of Milkshake IPA. Released on bail with a crime like that?

Alcohol and Aphorisms @thusdrank.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Agreed, and worse for me is the sheer number of "fans" treating it as a joke, and claiming people worried about it are "not true fans". I want to see Slipknot again, but not like this. Not a chance.

Keanu Reeves improvised the scene where he knifed someone repeatedly, the stunt man, being a professional, kept in character as he died leading to this amazing shot.

Like, improvs happen, but the stories of those that do seem to have led to people just claiming anything was improv, even stuff where QUITE BLATENTLY it would be a risk to life to do so.

There are so many fake "such and such actor improvised this moment" vids going around, if you believed all of them it seems literally no film had a script, hired anyone, or planned filming, just a bunch of people bumped into each other in front of a camera and a movie was born.

So, the Blue Beetle movie, I am minorly amused by how the main character is begging his suit not to kill anyone, even when they are threatening his unarmed family with guns. While literally every other family member is, whelp time to off some pricks. Kill time is go!

and just to be clear, it also can get used that way in left wing circles, but for decades the main place I used to encounter that dog whistle was in the far right sphere alongside a wealth of equally repugnant rhetoric

As the motion says, Zionism has a lot more potential meanings than most people are aware and is a much debated thing within Jewish culture. Also, for years I have heard the term Zionist as a code term for Jew in right wing circles, so I want to make double sure not to get tied to that shit.

Alcohol and Aphorisms @thusdrank.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

I get why people think saying they are not against Jewish people, they are against Zionism is making things clear they are just against the actions of the Israeli government - but the below helps explain why I try to avoid it and just say I am specifically against the actions of Netanyahu and co.

Pet peeve, the amount of online services that count an delivery as posted as soon as they get a tracking number - when the postal tracking lists that they still haven't received it yet a week later. That's not posted, that's playing the system.

They quoted me in this New Yorker piece about AI today. www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

“Let’s say there’s a world or time line I exist in where A.I. has been subject to regulation. It is ethical. It has no footprint environmentally,” the novelist Jeff VanderMeer, a prominent critic of A.I., told me over the phone. “With those guardrails in place, would I read an A.I. book? All I can say is no. And the reason is, in part, because I want to read something coming from a particular mind.” Using A.I., he said, “feels like a betrayal of the whole point of why you’re a writer.”

I watched a video where listing a bunch of UK hit songs over the years, it is amazing how many really caused an emotional reaction to me in just a few moments, memories, the themes, the music itself. Those connections. LLM generative AI can but mash that up and vomit back.

Good thing no one treated it as terrorism to score political points without knowing the facts, then

All five men arrested in RAF base plot are British nationals
The five men who were arrested and subsequently released on bail are all British citizens, home secretary Shabana Mahmood has just told the Labour party conference.

She adds that the scene is “now safe” and the residents living near to the RAF base are now able to return home.

“Let this be a reminder: you will never defeat us,” he says.

So much legislation does the worthy attempt of being content neutral, but in doing so actually end up reinforcing existing power structures as the already powerful kick the ass out of it, and those it is meant to protect struggle to get its cover.

Also why I am worried about how the alleged conversion therapy ban works, because as set up it seems to make it easier to call supporting someone who is trans "conversion therapy from being cis", than it does block actual conversion therapy.

It would be a stereotype to think, say everyone who is Christian is bigoted. To hold that someone who holds bigoted opinions is bigoted is not a stereotype, it is tautological.

I can't help notice it is "Christian Rights are REAL rights" not human rights, which carries ... worrying implications about their views on human rights.

Used to see this so often with the right wing rags when I paid attention "Decent law abiding old person HARSHLY being punished for doing something we called the law too soft on and we should hang them all when it was a minority young person"

Alcohol and Aphorisms @thusdrank.bsky.social · 29/09/2026

Though that seems to apply on so many things, a young person is a threat, but an old granny doing the same, well how could we treat them harshly. As with so many things it often seems who is doing the act is more important than the act.

While I get that he was responding to a question it is weird seeing headlines "Ed Miliband has said it was never anyone’s intent to criminalise “elderly people, vicars and grannies” " As that seems to imply that if you are young doing exactly the same then fuck you.
