I spend more time clicking through the post-lesson rewards in Duolingo than I do actually learning.

What the fuck?! Oh god! I loved Bone, was far too powerful for this world. He once gave me a lift home in his Porsche out of Wilmslow back to Manchester. Craziest drive. Working with him and Zane on the UI for SC was a wild time.

AI Fuckin' sucks, it doesn't know shit, it has no soul. How can it know when something is good enough, how can it be cool with imperfections because that's where human art lives. Get out of here with its algorithms trying to generate soulless perfection.

Show me writing an AI generated, I could send it back and say "improve this" and it makes arbitrary changes, finds synonyms, shortens, or restructures. I could ask it 100x and it will do so 100x. If I asked a human to 'improve it', they look at it for an hour and come back and say nah "it's good".

This is the kinda out-of-the-box thinking the show has been missing since we lost Gene.

It's been real nice seeing all the outpouring of love for Star Trek, with the show celebrating it's 60th anniversary this week. It's a shame it's future is a little shaky but my head swims with the possibility of that universe.

The opening to DS9 is like that first bite of Ratatouille to me. Straight back to my childhood. But in recent years, the Lower Decks opener always delighted me. The bit where the Cerritos arrives to the Borg fight, takes one phaser hit and nopes out just kills me every time.

Lanterns continues to be great, this show really is on a roll. I hope it can stick the landing, but I could watch these two solve cases across the galaxy for as long as they keep this show going.

Save us from another fear-driven remake/remaster. Just make a new title. Look at God of War, look at Doom. Your franchise doesn't need to do 'the first one again' (looking at you Halo, Tomb Raider, and Splinter Cell).

loving it! Makes me so happy to play with this gang, and I hope it opens up into a franchise. I am longing for some Shatterpoint/Imperial Assault tabletop, though, now.

Reached the soft ending of 'Big Walk' last night with the gang. Absolutely loved that experience from start to finish. Finding things out, collaborating, feeling smart. We were tired once we got the black key and none of us wanted to go to bed until we did the last bit. Lovely.

Solid thumb-up for this first episode of Lanterns. I could watch Kyle Chandler read the phone book, to be honest, but this episode really got it's hooks into me. Aaron Pierre is solid too, I loved his cool but capable style in 'Rebel Ridge' and can't wait for his role to open up.

All in all, a great model and it's going immediately on my shelf above my desk. I'm tempted to dismantle it and airbrush it, putting in some better chrome and detailing, maybe some weathering. But for right now this is great. Would recommend.

Exterior is nice, although there're some annoying sprue attachment points directly on outward-facing panels that could/should have been on the underside to preserve the aesthetic.

This model is super easy to make. Lots of great little parts to make the engine and the framework. The steering wheel, console, throttle and gears are all individual pieces.

Next up, The Batmobile from 'The Batman's. I've had this on my wish list for a while but it had been out of stock. Excited to get stuck in. #modelmaking

The stickers were a little fussy and broke up the making, but otherwise a fun build, and really got me excited to make more from GQuuuuuuX.

A great first day. Stickers slowed me down a little, and I tried doing panel-lining as I went, which was always a thing that gets tricky for smaller models if you leave it to the end. Tomorrow is 'leg day'.

The Odyssey was incredible, the sound design in that film really just blew that IMAX sound system away. So intense. I love going to see films there too, although I'm told the BFI is the best of the lot.

Saw 'The Odyssey' at the Printwork IMAX in Manchester. One of the only 3 screens in the UK to show it in the full 70mm format Nolan filmed it in. Had a great time. A+, can't wait to see it a second time just to take it all in. Epic in all senses of the word. Everyone is acting their arse off.
