Do you think this article is a positive assessment of the current government?

it's unbelievable to me that someone could actually be a trillionaire. i think most of us have trouble internalizing how much money that truly is. let me put it in simple terms for you: a trillion dollars is three million dollars

went to type "Isambard Kingdom Brunel" and my phone autocorrected it to "Islamabad Kingdom Brunel", and anyway who would like to book my new, incredibly niche and very culturally insensitive drag act

There was a gap of over a thousand years between the invention of the compass, and it being used for navigation.

It’s proper teenage / undergraduate writing. Someone who has been praised for their talent and is really excited about what they can do with the written word, but who hasn’t had the right guidance or enough experience to understand that they need to tone it down a couple of orders of magnitude.

I play D&D and sad to say, my games are constantly invaded by woke virtue signallers. They come in through the windows and the chimney and sometimes out of the taps. The police are not interested. Sometimes they appear my dreams and memories. I have sent many letters to my local paper on this matter

The Long Kiss Goodnight is my usual Christmas film - a heartwarming mix of comedy, snow, and of course hundreds of faceless goons being dispatched by Geena Davis.

It really is as simple as enacting about eleven of the most unpopular government policies imaginable all in one go.

You hear a lot about the banality of evil, but not so much about the lameness of evil.

You’ll of course remember Tom Arnold (actor, True Lies II)

Can you say where that info came from? I remember from your book that you got a Japanese student to translate Japanese games mags to scoop your competitors, but those news items are very prescient.

I agree fully on the parentage thing, but I thought “Jedi’s weapon deserves respect” was fine - Luke’s regained his self-worth and his respect for the Jedi after TLJ, thanks to Rey, so it made sense to me that he’d say that. Luke at the end of TFA is very different to Luke at the end of TLJ.

The dialogue in The Getaway was so awkward and weird that my friends and I quoted it for years, ie “I made more money off porno on the internet than you ever made in the knocking shops of Soho” or “you’re not seriously listening to this MAD TOSSER are you?”. The delivery on mad tosser cracks me up.

@adamroberts.bsky.social Hi Adam. I remember really enjoying a series of blog posts you wrote about revisiting the Culture novels. Are they available anywhere? I’ve got a couple of collections of your essays, but I don’t think they’re in either.

The penis gang are one of the last uncontacted tribes of Sydenham Woods. Their existence is inferred from runes featuring a symbol believed by anthropologists to be a god or holy figure, characterised by its hairs, shaft, and stylised white mana projected onto the faces of rival tribes’ mums.

In south London, things have already escalated to the point where people are writing PENIS GANG on trees.

From the author of Dune of Children

I can’t believe this guy didn’t finish the message with “…and the other is of Stalin and Mao.”

Yes! Have you read the book it was based on? I slept on it for 20+ years, but it’s 100% worth reading. Beautifully clever, innovative, intricate book from an under appreciated author.

There were surprisingly few culture clash jokes in BTTF when I rewatched - there’s a 20 minute sequence where there are loads, right after Marty arrives in 1955, but after that the film concentrates on the relationship with his parents. Which is universal. So you could easily make it today.

It’s too good a song to be fully killed off by a cover, but the “there’s one thing, there’s one thing that mmmhngmslurp turns this GREY SKY TO BLUE” bit had me in tears.

@priscillapage.bsky.social I really enjoyed the Arrow reissue of the Taking of Pelham 123, with your essay attached. Although thanks to the robbers’ disguises, I couldn’t help thinking that the film was about the Beastie Boys hijacking a subway train.

Picking up cows with a winch and dropping them off on an aircraft carrier? Please say yes.

Fascism was characterised by embracing modernity & technology (i.e. the Nazi’s use of planes & the radio, or the crossover between Italian fascism and futurism & their use of modern art and graphic design). Whoever said “all nostalgia is fascist” understands neither fascism or art.
