Tried watching The Ridge on Sky Open. It's a Scottish/NZ production. Horrible main character and weird filming style has put me off watching any more of it. Read some IMDB reviews and they're similar.

I'm not going back to Substack. I will continue to post my newsletters from Ghost. But I did have to get back in there, just to post this and let people who thought I'd vanished know about this utter nightmare: substack.com/home/post/p-...

I hate how every nation is living down to its stereotype because I’m trained to look for complexity in things, yet the USA is run by a caricature of crony capitalism that Soviet propaganda would consider too unsubtle, Russia is run by a Bond villain, the UK is speedrunning Children of Men, etc.

Fellow patched members of the HRT gang, give me your best remedies for getting the bloody adhesive remnants off my skin! I seem to have a batch that are working again, thanks to a complaint to Sandoz and them sending another batch to my pharmacy.
