My go to for film that's obviously better than the book is Ringu. Listening to people who read the book after watching the movie is always a treat.

This is definitely one of those situations in which it's actually more generous to assume mendacity than honest stupidity.

Decided to release this post early, given it's fully polished and fits in rather well with Pride Month. On

Phillips just revelling in how totally beyond consequence she's allowed to be, here. She's as aware as anyone she's most famous for telling Diane Abbott to fuck off, but no-one with clout is ever going to suggest that that counts as being mean.

At this point, I genuinely believe the entire public is being actively gaslit by both the media, and Esther Ghey herself, into forgetting that Brianna Ghey was murdered, by people she knew from school, in real life, who were partly influenced by transphobia, fuelled by the media and politicians.

I've hated Serafinowicz for years, to the point I can't even remember what my original beef was. Nice of him to retroactively justify my loathing, I guess.

Starfleet Academy's first season is now available to buy digitally. It contains, conservatively, four of the best hours of Trek made this decade and I'm crushed it's been killed because of small, shrill cowards. Go check it out if you can.

Yeah, this. "Use the proper channels" is ever and only those in power shifting things back to their terrain when they're losing on another. It's the political tactical equivalent of demanding you run into a line of machine guns.

A pill that some people on my feed might find hard to swallow: rejecting the blood-and-soil nationalism that underpins a lot of "authentic" food discourse also means you should not dismiss all Israeli food culture (for that matter, all Israeli culture) as fake and stolen.

I love everyone involved in it, but it's gotta be Supernatural. Literally the only show I have gone from buying every season of on DVD to stopping watching entirely, and I did that *five seasons* before it finally ended.

At last, someone is thinking about all those parents who a) want to ban their kids from the internet at night, b) can't get their kids to follow that rule without the threat of legal action, and c) have kids who believe they'll grass them up to the cops for checking TikTok under the blankets.

This is basically the only food opinion I will tolerate anymore. If you're going around saying "the food in [a nation of millions] is all bad", you are either a fool or a liar, and either way I'll happily take the dishes you won't eat.

Good news: Finished a 6000-word first draft of the "Vitus Reflux" essay. Bad news: It took six weeks, and I hated almost every minute of it. Good news: Finally figured out how to make it work a couple of hundred words from the end. Bad news: Have to rewrite the whole fucking thing now.

Was similar in Newcastle yesterday. We didn't manage the same scale of anti-fash crowds as Glasgow, but it was certainly noticeable how effortlessly we outnumbered all three of the right-wing demonstrations we were in opposition to.

I am very pro quant and materialism and empiricism and grounded scientific practice but the key thing with doing any of them good is you need a bunch of humanities and qual stuff to avoid fucking up and there are a lot of 20th century ideological hangovers that are built on denying this.

Worth occasionally letting the full scale of this nonsense sink in. Starmer has shat the bed so completely the smell has covered every single MP in his party, so the plan is to stake everything on getting someone who doesn't stink of shit, so he can CONTINUE ADDING SHIT TO THE BED.

A few of the placards seen today as the fash got chased off Buchanan Street. Never forget: the far right are indeed dangerous and wicked; and they are also weird and pathetic, and we should say so.
