THE BOYS is done. They're, er, Ex-Men. They stuck the Homelanding, I feel.

As Raul Castro is being indicted for shooting down civilian aircraft as Cuban Defence Minister in 1996, I'm assuming Trump and Hegseth are also gonna be indicted for the murder of 175 school children in Iran. Like, any day now.

Life should consist of two levels: Game - and Game Plus, where you get to around again with all your gained experience. 😉

Sitting in the café. Meditating on writing - but not doing any. Personal soundtrack by Gabrielle Aplin. On such slender threads, sanity is (just about) maintained.

Kemi Badenoch: Pro-Palastine marches should be banned Also Kemi Badenoch: Tommy Robinson's marches make some good points. (Hint: One of these is anti-genocide. The other wants to be rid of all Muslims.)

Seems to me there's more transparency in government than ever before, especially in the US. But that transparency frequently amounts to, "Yeah, we're self-serving cunts and proud of it."

Could've done with a bit more lighting in Ep4 but it says something that I've gone from starting into S5 of THE BOYS yesterday to halfway through the season today.

Googled for details of the Kings Speech but all I got was results for a movie about trying to cure a chronic Starmer.

Please retweet.

Labour leadership race will likely be between a Giant Douche and a Turd Sandwich.

I wouldn't mind so much but you still encounter some commenters here and there saying that the Labour Party is 'too far Left'. Which is tragifuckinlarious.

Starmer insists on staying so as to avoid the instability of multiple PM changes of the past several years. But I'm not seeing how months more of Schrödinger's Prime Minister will feel any less uncertain.

Non-Starmer energy.

"Wes Streeting was in and out of No.10 in under 20 minutes." The Independent, today. Me: "That's about the length of a Streeting premiership I could probably stomach."

Note to self: don't offer advice, no matter how well meant. Just focus on your own shit.

Encountered massive resistance to getting up at all today. Posting this from the café, so it looks like I made it.

Can't imagine the ET The Epstein Terrestrial approach is gonna distract people from the real issues.

Now that Starmer has recruited Brown, d'you suppose Gordon leaves the No.10 doorstep after cabinet meetings muttering 'bigot' under his breath.

MAGA asshats are always like, "We've had it up to here - " *performs sieg heil salute* " - with folks calling us Nazis."

This morning's breakfast viewing. Loved the series and this is a fab examination of it through the World Of Telly lens. Enjoyed how @neilperryman.bsky.social gets to school John a bit (on Marvel history) for a change. 🙂

New World Of Telly - featuring possibly the newest show they've examined yet.

It's one card short of a Strait.

A moment's silence today as we think of the US military service men and women who suffered the horrors of an address by Kid Rock.

With hopes that the ballroom will provide added security for the President in the face of the whole 8647 threat, they should name the White House extension after that Cult song. Seashells Sanctuary.

Wow. Against all the odds, I think I wrote a scene for my current WISP (Work In Slow Progress) this morning in the café, most of which I feel I can probably use in the finished project. #Fuuuuuuuck #LikeFuuuuuuuuckInAGoodWay

Obvs, I'm no fan of the monarchy but props to Charles for sticking the barbs into Trump & Co in his speeches. It's not quite Nikki Glaser roast standards but you've gotta rein the material in a bit on the diplomatic stage.

Sci-fi game APHELION drops on Game Pass today so that'll be my replacement for KINGDOM COME DELIVERANCE sorted.

Looks like that rubber Dalek that bloke wore on his head in that Doctor Who episode* *(And yeah, I'm that bad a DW 'fan' these days I can't recall the episode title.) www.sciencedaily.com/releases/202...

Is the new Michael Jackson biopic in black turning gradually to white?

Paraphrasing a comment I made the other day on a friend's FB post: The new Jackanory was shit.

Next Call Of Duty has already introduced an update in gear to protect you on the battlefield. A Kevlar vest, helmet *and* your own portable $400m ballroom and you're good to go.

Some concerns about security around the King's US visit, but I'm reminded of Richard Harris, from UNFORGIVEN: "If you were to try to assassinate a king, sir, the — how shall I say it? — the aura of royalty would cause you to miss. But, a president— [chuckles] I mean, why not shoot a president?"

All that gun culture and no accuracy.

Trump confirmed as most popular President in US history. Amongst would-be assassins.

"He has a different way of calculating percentages." Has to be one of the more inventive synonyms for 'He's fucking stupid".

I foresee a Kingdom Come Deliverance II day in my immediate future. #MedievalEscapismVsThe21stCentury

Reckon if I could stay awake seven days in a row, I couldn't feel more tired than I do waking up this morning.

Jean Michel Jarre advocates embracing AI in music and movies. Sacre bleuch. It's never nice when your heroes disappoint you.

The United States is imposing restrictions on the sharing of intelligence. A commodity in shorter supply than oil.

Good job they switched from DEI to a full on meritocracy, huh

It's Tuesday. The ceasefire deadline is up. I'm all out of Taco shells and only have Tortilla wraps. So I'm working hard on an alternative acronym. So far I only have: Trump Often Retreats Totally In Lily Livered Assholery.

Trump switching out McDonalds in favour of Big Kahuna Burgers.

In the wake of Pete Hegseth's PULP FICTION homage, I wonder if Trump was simply honouring RESERVOIR DOGS.

Rewriting a #PulpFiction chapter as THE DONNIE SITUATION. Wherein a certain someone takes a bullet to the head, but there are no tiny bits of brain to pick up from the back of the car.

Trump said he's obviously supposed to be a doctor in that image of him as the Messiah. To be fair, it did make me think, "ER..."

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

Trump posts image of himself as Jesus healing the sick. But won't provide health care. What's needed is a second image where Trump Messiah has his palm turned upwards in expectation of payment from the patient.

Never mind the Straits. I've seen cats with more certainty about whether a door needs to be left open or not.

So, if I'm following this right, the US is now threatening to blockade the straits that were open before they launched their war, but then which Iran closed off, and the US then demanded help from allies to reopen them, but on the ceasefire Iran offered to reopen them with a toll
