I only just read #ProjectHailMary and now I just walked out a truly phenomenal adaptation of what was already one of my favourite stories. You HAVE to go and see it as soon as possible, genuinely could not have loved it more

Watched one of these just out of sheer morbid curiosity. Wooden, soulless ands in a fantastic display of how little care went in I watched the word "America" on a pamphlet morph into nonsensical drivel within the same shot. Surely someone could have fixed that, at least? Abominable.

Oh no, am I supposed to care if this thing you insist on foisting on us fails

I finished it the other day and thoroughly enjoyed it! Very funny, love this series

It's obviously Dun3: Tokyo Drift innit

And while we're at it, the previous one should've been called Twoone

I have both in hardback and am really looking forward to book 3!

Forgot to put the coupon code in at checkout, read several pieces, happy to have helped in some small way - exactly the kind of place I was looking for for film criticism

StartPlaying.games could be worth investigating (it is for paid games, granted, but might be worth a look!)

I long for the days where I get to play rather than run sessions ๐Ÿ˜…

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.

That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Nigel Farage has spent ยฃ1m taking out adverts in the papers to distract from the Nathan Gill Russian bribe scandal.

We can't let him buy himself out of this. We need an investigation into Russian influence in our politics.

Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

Film Stories: The 500th Episode Celebration โ€ข Words โ€ข Kings Place Join us for a special evening as we celebrate the 500th episode of the Film Stories with Simon Brew.

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.

I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.

Thank you.

And we knew this. This wasn't speculation. We studied it, we had the talking points. We trained volunteers to explain this to people. It's not a surprise. Rich people don't flee places with good quality of life when we increase the quality of life. They might try to cheat us, but they don't leave.

FRANKENSTEIN is on NETFLIX but- still in many theatres- please consult your local listings and choose your watch/rewatch preference!

Love going to watch solo, you fully get to lock in on whatever you're watching (and like you say, scheduling to go with others is just too much of a nightmare and you just miss out sometimes!)

Vital piece of investigative reporting from Sky. They've uncovered the X algorithm which feeds users extremist right wing material from the moment they join the site. It is a far-right radicalisation engine, by design.

"large dumpy-ass tv-tummied idiots" is the single funniest way I've ever seen anyone describe the Teletubbies

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.
