How about a #Halloween countdown, with #music? One #song per #night until 31st Oct. This one's a no-brainer... www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIHU...

Although parts of this #Trek: SNW season lapse into sadly witless spacer #sitcom (wacky Carol Kane leads comedy-charge), this #documentary-style genre episode (directed by Sharon Lewis) goes boldly to reclaim some of TREK's fabled thoughtful charm and #sensawunda. www.imdb.com/title/tt2733...

Too early for breakfast?

VRmed means dead in bed, (very) still at home.

"100,000 people joined a far-right rally in our capital" www.theguardian.com/politics/202... But if anyone thinks that was an important number, perhaps nearly 2.5 million sigs on this petition means a lot more as a public protest? petition.parliament.uk/petitions/73...

Monday morning, again.

Mutant ninja shell company.

Like 1984's vile rage of two-minutes-hate... how soon before AbsurdisTrump clocks a bout of MAGA-madness every hour? www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Zimmer framed in Prague. A great show (rented on 4K disc, 138 mins.), with a band + orchestral & choral support. Playing a range of movie-music (most of which sounds wonderful, without any cinema-images), including Crimson Tide, Gladiator, Da Vinci Code, & etc. #HansZimmer #movies #film-music

Starman gives Nigel the finger.

Despite a few amusing SF-media refs, sundry Aliens riffs, and with Linda Hamilton delivering exposition, William Kaufman's busy actioner OSIRIS is really (and sadly) nothing more than a Poundland Predators. #sci-fi #action #movies #Osiris #LindaHamilton #MaxMartini #BriannaHildebrand

A gift for 'Led by Donkeys'? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Missionary: Impossible?

Time is not a 'river', or a tunnel... It's a funnel, and there's no light at the end of it.

Do not accept Gestapo Britain.

Lunch-time, trick or treat?

Daylight, again?

Pun of the month?

Strongly-recommended reading for techies and modern-history fans. Much more than just an excellent memoir! #ThisIsForEveryone #TimBerners-Lee

Today's NHS.

Lefty+ must stop squabbling. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

LOVE, DEATH + ROBOTS: season 4, mind-bendingly variable quality, as before, but still mostly good fun... Often goofy or sleazy, but too many cat-stories? SPIDER ROSE (based on a Bruce Sterling story) sets a new high-standard for animation.

Ye olde me(n)tal minstrels.

No wonder he's the leader of any gang.

I wish...

Yet another day.

When Charlie met Donny...

Slashers used to be where, or when, 'everybody dies'... but Sandberg's UNTIL DAWN bleeds its haunted-house fatalities into a sicko groundhog night of exploding kids. Gruesome fun, so don't wait for Halloween. Cue the hour-glass of death now. #horror #movies #filmsky #UntilDawn

Chortle of the day! www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

"..compulsory voting would force politics to pay attention to the marginalised and try to persuade the undecided centre, rather than indulge the extremes." - Rory Stewart www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Friday freedom?

I wonder if this was actually worth seeing, or whether its mere existence will have some dramatic effect on how news-media reports US political lies, from now on? www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...
