And which US tech firm is going to make a killing providing it?

Shiri has finally been remastered (it deserved it). Gosh, I hope this comes to 4K Blu-ray. It was a real landmark in Korean cinema and is considered to be their first native "blockbuster". It's a thoroughly enjoyable thriller with some super turns from the cast. See it if you can.

Urgh, questionnaire from the doctors asking all these questions about how I handle my meds, do I sometimes forget them. I do sometimes forget, I do need help on occasion...but am I telling them that? No. They'd just bother me even more. Can't they just leave me in peace? Argh!

Well, that Smurf put up one hell of a fight.

Because the current administration is lying once again and hurting women and children, do this as much as possible (I'm getting my sticky notes ready):

Tylenol ain't taking this shit From tylenol.com

Forgive the lack of nuance but: what a complete and utter shit head. Constantly trying to get people to put all their life anger and dissatisfaction on powerless refugees whilst blatantly ignoring the billionaire class bleeding us all dry. A vile man. Source: The Guardian search.app/46FSR

Tbh, given the kind of people who tend to believe in the rapture, I'd be absolutely fine with them being beamed up to the skies above and giving us all some peace and quiet.

I hope this doesn't happen as it would mean the absolute death of physical media. Netflix is not a company I'm inclined to trust.

Displacement of local populations in the name of safeguarding World Heritage is a practice that should be discouraged. I’m surprised it is still being done anywhere. We have come a long way since this was common practice, but I guess we still have a way to go. www.theguardian.com/world/2025/s...

So Kimmel gets fired for supposedly misidentifying the shooter as MAGA (though that’s not quite what he said.) When do all the Fox hosts who misidentified the shooter as transgender get fired then?

I'm honestly so sick of small-minded dick heads squealing about immigration being evil, and how Nigel Fromage will save us. Really? The guy who wants to get rid of your NHS, serves the will of his billionaire donors and thinks that welfare and state ownership are somehow evil? Just fuck off.

Follow my friend @gimmethefife.bsky.social because she's awesome.

Great song. Give it a go. open.spotify.com/track/0JX23X...

Well, I can't afford a new laptop, and whilst my current one has the required TPM, MS have arbitrarily decided that its processor isn't good enough for Windows 11 (BS) so I've made a USB boot drive to run Ubuntu, instead. I still think this forced shift away from Windows 10 is a load of crap.

Big props to @gimmethefife.bsky.social and @thejackarcher.bsky.social for putting up with me on an almost daily basis. Especially when I'm having a crisis of self-belief (a frequent occurrence). I know I must drive you guys insane, but you meet it with good grace.

I think my BlueSky posts are like my short stories: overly long and of interest to almost nobody. Oh, that was oddly succinct. Irony.

I think the Techbros embrace AI not only because of money, but because of a deep-seated resentment of human creativity. It eludes them, it is something they struggle to fathom, and they cannot, themselves, wield the gift of such powerful, emotive mediums. Thus, they seek to destroy it.

Wait....what? I thought all the contestants on Countdown were timid, introverted folk? When did it become Fight Club? 🤦‍♂️

It's amazing how you can be extremely introverted and want people to leave you alone, but you also feel a lot of pain when you feel ignored, too. You just sort of exist in this bizarre contradictory state. I wish my brain made more sense.

Damn, I love these films ❤️

Awww, damn, not Robert Redford. What an amazing talent and a great advocate for creativity in the film industry. He'll be sorely missed :(

Party McPartface?

it’s time, if you haven’t already done so, to shut down your twitter account, and tell the institutions you are part of to leave too. there’s no way any UK museum, university, politician or any of us should still be on that far-right platform

I'll bang on about the genius of Dark City until the end of time. What a movie. It has such an involving story, Kiefer Sutherland plays against type brilliantly, whilst Rufus Sewell is wonderful as an everyman. Jennifer Connelly is stunning and so believable. The film's visuals are incredible.

Sorry, CRONOS, I'm out. I'm sure plenty of people are having an amazing time playing you, but I'm just into the kind of abuse this game dishes out. I'm the kind of guy who's happy playing on normal.

Suddenly, I'm resolved to visit Hokkaido.

I'll be brutally honest...I was excited for CRONOS: The New Dawn, but the lack of difficulty settings puts me right off. I play games to relax, not get infuriated and play a section over and over again. Whilst it may appeal to people who enjoy From Software games, I'm not masochistic enough.

I genuinely enjoyed Candyman (2021). I'm not sure why people dunk on it so hard. It had great atmosphere, a good story, some really enjoyable performances and I felt engaged the entire time.

i fucking hate this place at times you know

I'm really confused by the whole "men won't date women taller than them and women not dating men shorter than them" thing... Doesn't a person's character mean anything to these people? I'm baffled.

Since a sparrowhawk came into the garden and killed two birds (I'll spare you the graphic details), all the other birds have been scared to come down and be fed. This has really made me feel crappy...I miss them all coming down for seed and peanuts.

If you're upset about this, you're being a bit silly. As I've said countless times before, Nintendo was more a Japanese and American powerhouse in the 80s and 90s. Europe preferred home computers and Sega, typically.

Sunday sketch. Having fun crosshatching and testing out new batch of BIC ballpoint pens.

In having rather limited social skills, I honestly think that after every message I send, and every conversation, that I've made a total prat of myself AND offended the other person in some way.

More reasons to be anti-AI

New pen! Asvine C80 (in light blue) with a medium nib. Writes nicely. And, yes, I had a small ink incident before taking this photo. #fountainpen

I'd love a magician who could pull off the greatest trick ever: make billionaires pay their fair share of tax. Even Copperfield couldn't manage that shit.

TENET is a great movie. I don't know why people give it such a hard time.

Some Warhammer 40k paintings to darken the timeline 🙏 Apparently I can't get away from this palette.

I did it! I'm under 10,000 words! I had to make some brutal choices but I managed to do it! Ahahahah! Finally! #writing #shortstory

QTP with an album you'd rate a perfect 10/10.

Splatterpunk... I just don't get it. I'm not bashing people who are into it, but I genuinely just don't get it. I prefer horror that creates an unnerving and tense atmosphere, possibly coupled with abstract concepts. The whole "lots of blood and grossing you out!" stuff just seems repetitive.

I try not to be an angry person but whenever someone tries to label depression as just "being a bit sad", you can bet your arse I'm getting mad. I respond the same to people who think anxiety is "being a little nervous".
