Busy doing my bit standing up against global megacorps with overpriced products and exploitative employment practices this morning…
Saw on Weds. Everything exceeded any expectations (even including the theatre!).
Took me a long time to process afterwards - the performance and the message.
It’s a film that definitely benefits even more from big screen, yes (genuinely looks so much better than modern CGI crap!)
I think there are old films that are timeless, for sure. But also ‘new’ films that are timeless and I’m always pleased when I stumble on one of the latter, unexpectedly!
Not saying this hotel considers fire safety as a tick box exercise, but if they hadn’t told me to leave via the “safest” route, I would genuinely have been stumped
The only future photos of noem - and the rest of the cabal - that we should be seeing, would all feature orange jump suits.
Yet the Trump regime won’t even bat an eyelid and with not a shred of hypocrisy or awareness, Melania will go and do another talk somewhere about how important it is to protect ‘the children’ of the world…
If not there, then surely no-where!
Oh I’m sure he is serious, yes.
Overlord of all the world and welcome to take it all for himself, is how he sees himself.
(And no one is showing any signs of stopping him)
I don’t think I’ve seen any of those other films you mentioned. I do like 2001 though. Enjoyed a rewatch of it in the cinema just a couple of years ago. Still looks phenomenal on the big screen.
Every Word. And nothing will work without proper funding.

Disturbingly HAL9000-like
It’s utterly gross, isn’t it.
New post just out:
"Sovereignty for sale"
The UK is uniquely exposed to the power of US tech monopolies - from Palantir to AI and cloud services.
Why is it so dangerous? What are other countries doing? And what should we do?

Thanks. Boot full of tools and overalls meant the breakdown service didn’t take long to arrive 😉
Also - quite so on the pic. Proof positive of pro racing driver credentials here 👌
Very much so. Normal life goes on and there is nothing wrong with finding joy and fun still, even in times of adversity.
Pretty sure papers like that would normally even describe it as ‘the British spirit’ (if being exercised by the other side…)
And was it a case of the bookie always wins?
Absolutely seminal and was glued to it at the time.
I rewatched it about a decade ago and still enjoyed it. I wonder how it will seem for audiences now?
Oh and it was always Anna…
Private Eye
Quietly, calmly and forensically, BBC just dismantled the Trump communications shitshow on Iran.
No hyperbole, just laying out an unprecedented military, diplomatic and reputational shambles.
Worth a watch.

Handbrake mechanism had stuck on one side, but I was straight out the petrol station onto a dual carriageway, so the energy going into the brake before it showed a problem was pretty ‘full send’ in other ways 😂
(That pic was after I’d blown the fire out)
Not sure what to say right now.
Beyond 🖤
*team pit
Well that was exciting… 🔥😂
Just when you thought LinkedIn posts couldn’t possibly get worse, along comes this…
It’s so very difficult at the moment to put words out about the US government and their acts, without getting ‘emotional’ shall we say…
Just utterly heinous.
Starmer is treading a very difficult line.
I wish he could be firmer & more outspoken against Trump on this, but I can understand reasons why he isn’t
We can’t have a world tho where warlords like Putin, Netanyahu, Trump wage war with impunity on whoever they don’t like
Somehow, a way must be found
Also good words*
(*assuming accurate translation, again)
Good words* - though I think it’s driven by more than just ‘incompetence’.
(*I’m assuming the translation is accurate!)
It was two good questions.
There are no good answers (either the US or Israel killed children) and there are no teeth to hold Trumps regime to account, so he just ducked both, of course.
Trump already topped the list of ‘most fake assassination attempts ever’, but because he can’t stop winning, adds more to the tally?
Also the ‘President of Peace’ has evidently advanced from having his own domestic terror squad (ICE) to having his own personal international assassination squad?
