Am surprised how 'The Moment' doesn't appear to be going over with my fellow critics. I'm not a Charli Xcx fan, and I really enjoyed it??

A still from The Paper with Robert Duvall, Glenn Close and Michael Keaton

If you're a working journalist, it's a legal requirement to watch 'The Paper' once every two to five years.

Michael Mann's 'Ali'.

I was gonna say my pleasure, but it honestly wasn't. Either way, cheers for listening!

The drop for next week is going to be 95%.

At today's screening, it was myself, three people from the Irish Independent, one from the Evening Herald, and myself. Nobody else.

I sat through the Melania Trump documentary for the purposes of reviewing it on national radio today. It's Newstalk, Movies and Booze, from 2.50. Listen in! I'll probably have an aneurysm!

Interesting piece considering this week.

Annie Wilkes from Misery is spiritually Millennial:
▪️cottagecore
▪️extremely toxic fandom
▪️aggressive side part
▪️weird childish curses
▪️puritanical, but also
▪️horrifyingly perverted

RIP Annie you would have been so good at BookTok

Look at this. Look at this fucking idiot. Look at this bald bellend. We are living in Hell.

That bald fuck Stephen Miller wading into the middle of Star Trek discourse to bark "woke" at his legion of online chuds is all the impetus I need to set my router on fire and escape the Internet forever.

Honestly that'd make me wanna go out there and do another circuit.

Trump may be the beginning of the end for ‘enshittification’ – this is our chance to make tech good again | Cory Doctorow The US president is weaponising tech, but his tariffs and Brexit provide a surprising opportunity to gain back digital control of our lives, says science fiction author, activist and journalist Cory D...

A great read on how we can actually finally regulate tech and move away from the US government’s blackmail grip over global tech markets that are currently forced to favour US tech bros.

Read the argument today that people should try to influence the narratives on the other website rather than abandon it.

I respect the view but - you're not influencing anyone.

Legacy media views throttled to death. Someone gave this example.

'Hamnet', Conformity Gate and the 'Avengers: Doomsday' Teasers Podcast Episode · Screenland with Brian Lloyd · 07/01/2026 · 41m

No, definitely not. It's just very stressful. Also, Chalamet gets very annoying and blustery.

One guy tried, unsuccessfully, to blow up a plane with a bomb in his sneakers, and everybody had to take off their shoes at the airport for the next 20 years.

Chatbots have a collective body count equal to Richard "The Night Stalker" Ramirez, and they're trying to put them in schools.

These guys are gonna say nothing, ignore it, and hope it goes away on its own.

The Trump doctrine: Violence is us The message is clear—be afraid.

NEW: The ICE killing of Renee Nicole Good in Minneapolis, the Venezuela attack, the new White House Jan. 6 website—these each convey a powerful & unsettling message from Trump, Miller, and their crew: Violence is ours to use, at home and abroad, to get what we want. Beware.

Please read and share.

robert a heinlein would be spinning in his grave to discover what's being done with something named "grok"

Again, morally OK to just drive a fucking bulldozer through every single one of the servers.

Folks, it is morally OK to pipebomb the servers.

There's... There's a lot.

Anything by Megadeth. Anything by Slayer. Anything by James Ellroy. 'Chinatown', I guess?

this is your mission. our pedophile president needs you to jump out of a helicopter to kidnap a head of state and his wife so some oil ceos can make a lot of money. we’ll be watching from a resort in florida that still serves wedge salad and checking how many retweets we get. good luck soldier

If we're just gonna speedrun the early aughts again, can we skip over the skinny jeans thing? I've just started to enjoy wide-legged trousers again and I can't be arsed going back to that.
