I don't know if it's in there, but 'Babylon 5 at 20' is one of the best behind the scenes books I own, period.

Aziz Ansari clawing his way back into the limelight, making a film, only to do the Riyadh Comedy Festival is kinda funny.

Trump is much funnier than Pete Hegseth. I watched both their sets at the Military Comedy Festival and Hegseth's material and delivery were awful.

On to this, McEwan's latest. Meta in more ways than one. I think he's having a merry old time taking the piss. When one character performs surgery on a snake, I thought for a moment we were going to get at least 5 pages of thoroughly researched description

Sound on for The Railway Children (1970). It looks like a folk horror film, so I added scary noises to the trailer. Listen to me and @eleanormorton.bsky.social for more: linktr.ee/readthat

Oh man what a day. Only had one lecture to deliver & I think it went over pretty good.

But the stuff surrounding it sucked. Kinda bombarded with issue after issue. All "people being unhappy" related issues. In one case, quite a vitriolic rant against me. It felt so unfair, too!
