Still only 2 likes. One is him and the other is the guy who sold him the ai. Literally everyone else they know thinks it's a terrible idea.

We just watched Grease 2 for like the millionth time and HOW do we still have new things to say about it? Such a glorious mess of a film, and genuinely loveable. Also Cool Rider and Girl For All Seasons are undeniable belters.

Have spent the day outside visiting the Yorkshire Sculpture Park which is huge. Got to see some actual Henry Moore's amongst lots of other great works I appreciate while feigning understanding of.

Donate to Help Jason get through cancer, organized by Jason Arnopp Hello you, I really didnโ€™t want to set up this appeal. Quite honestly, after 35 yearsโ€ฆ Jason Arnopp needs your support for Help Jason get through cancer

My mate Jason, author of the BRILLIANT Last Days of Jack Sparks, is tussling with the big c at the moment and has set up a gofundme. If you have a spare couple of quid I would really like many more years of telling him he's wrong about music.

"Backlash against antiracism" is a very roundabout way of saying "Increased racism"

Less than 230,000 people signed up to Farageโ€™s party Reform UK - media wonโ€™t shut the fuck up about it.

Over 600,000 people signed up to Jeremy Corbyn and Zarah Sultanaโ€™s new party - absolute crickets from the media.

You will never convince me the media isnโ€™t complicit in the rise of the far right

I'm sorry, I just find this sort of thing really fatiguing. How about, instead of repeating gimmicks that Joss Whedon came up with twenty years ago, this show tries to focus on telling good Star Trek stories?

Violent or destructive left wing protest is framed as delegitimising the protesters' stated cause.

Violent or destructive right wing protest is framed as emphasing the need for urgent action on the protesters' stated cause.

As always, right wing men are treated as elemental forces without agency.

The Lower Decks episode was great. It was within canon and it was fun watching those characters interact. I watched the musical one and hated it. The songs weren't great, which is often the problem with musical episodes.

Are they just ripping pages out of the Joss Whedon novelty episode playbook? Strange New Worlds is a really strong show that doesn't need this gimmicky nonsense.
