A stray wisp of carbon, adrift in an indifferent universe—a worthless pawn in the hopeless battle against entropy and absurdity. Having the time of my life; which, after all, is all we can have until it’s over. I also like cheese.

Yesterday I watched Takashi Miike’s The Great Yokai War (2005) - I wonder if there are support groups available? #film

‘The Catcher in the Rye’ by J. D. Salinger.
I am coming to this classic of literary fiction rather late, but I had long known of its reputation as an Anerican classic, and a divisive work. Those who read it either loved it or hated it and many ...

I’ve always loved Breakfast at Tiffany’s (1961) and watched it many times; but only today did I realise that the male lead, Paul Varjak, was played by George ‘Hannibal Smith from The A-Team’ Peppard — next you’ll be telling me the guy from Forbidden Planet is the chap from The Naked Gun. #filmTrivia

Netflix briefly released an unapproved version with previously cut scenes, likely breaching agreements with Sky or the BBC. Baby Cow Productions withdrew it after identifying rights conflicts. Playback errors suggest a rushed removal. :) The two seasons of ‘I'm Alan Partridge’ are very good.

Pluribus
Pluribus is a terrible thing — which is to say, a rather good science-fiction series written by Vince Gilligan. But, that's not why its terrible.

It has been a few days, and after some time to get used to it I would like to revise my opinion of iOS 26 and its re “Liquid Glass” design language. I can now confidently say that I seriously dislike. It’s ugly, and worse still it’s janky. #apple #ios #iphone

Thinking about making #YouTube videos again. If I ever call it “content,” feel free to slap me. Same goes for saying “without further ado” before wasting more time by cutting to a cheesy intro. And if I ever flash or fade to white—slap me twice.

#Nosferatu Narratively thin and lacking character development, the film leans heavily on visual spectacle and a few standout performances. That said, everything’s better with Willem Dafoe—glad he escaped The Lighthouse. #letterboxed #film #WillemDafoeMakesThingsBetter letterboxd.com/deviantrobot...

Very odd and “vivid” #dreams last night. Despite having pronounced #Aphantasia, such that I can’t “see” images in my dreams, I can still experience dreams with varying degrees of vividness. Like stories, they can carry a strong or weak sense of verisimilitude , presence or connection.

I’d genuinely love to see those books—and hear what you consider British food. I certainly struggle to define it. Returning from Japan was tough for many reasons, not least going from a passionate food culture to one that too often prioritises quantity and price over quality and experience.

New things! The Green Knight (2021) because it was awesome and deserves to be seen without Amazon Primes belief that cubism is the only way to experience dark or low contrast scenes. And Nosferatu (2024) because after The Lighthouse (2019) and The Witch (2015) I will watch all the Eggers. #film

Can someone explain how #LinkedIn Premium could possibly be worth £70/month? I was expecting £7—and even then! It’s mostly inane motivational memes and “insightful” business BS. Do they print it, leather-bind it, and have it recited to you during a deep tissue massage with optional happy ending?

As a lifelong and committed #CoffeeLover, I now find I need to avoid #Coffee for health reasons (even #Decaf). Looking to replace my morning #DripCoffee fix—has anyone had much luck with #Chicory? It’s not terrible, but if you can recommend a good #ChicoryCoffee brand, I’d appreciate it.

Rewatched the annoyingly titled LOL: Last One Laughing—a "witty" redefinition immediately undermined by comedy’s greatest nemesis: the need to explain. Genuinely enjoyed it. After seeing the Japanese original (Documental), I’d always wondered what a British version might be like. A lot less nudity.

Watched 'The Green Knight' (2021) last night and absolutely loved it. I’d been put off by people claiming it was “confusing” or “aimless”. These people were rounded up and shot at dawn as a public service to prevent further inane comments being made. #letterboxd #film letterboxd.com/deviantrobot...

They should be fine, they’re highly unlikely to need to parallel park. Also, despite the gushing about “female empowerment,” the women’s magazine—written by women, for women—leads with details on the flight crew's photoshoot and outfit choices. Hooray feminism. www.elle.com/culture/cele...

Republican’s say #Trump is using ‘noblesse oblige’ to consolidate power. They must mean ‘knobless oblige’! I’m saying he has no penis. Obviously, he has a penis—but I’m being mean cos I don’t like him. I might also say he is a knob. But since a knob itself has no knob, my point would still stand.

Fruit jam preserves fruit in sugar and pectin; mayonnaise preserves egg yolk through emulsification in oil and acid—both producing a thick consistency. Both preserve raw ingredients so can be said to be preserves. Preserves are colloquially referred to as “jams,” mayonnaise is egg jam. #checkmate
