On seeing this week's events unfold and the sub-zero weather across Scotland, I have to say - and I cannot stress this enough - fuck ice.

Hey, it's January 6th, and you know what that means. As is tradition, it's time to hang Mike Pence!

This year he's returning to pride of place in the living room, photographed with a much tighter close-up to celebrate in the spirit of the legendary gallery of rogues seen in Vanity Fair. Mwah!

There is no dark side of the moon, really. As a matter of fact, it’s all dark. The only thing that makes it look light is the sun.

Ripley and Jonesy.

Ripley and Jonesy.

Today is for big feelings, tired contemplation, and resigned thoughtfulness, and within this I can feel my reach is beyond my grasp.

It's Monday, and I've been thinking about Ripley a lot over the weekend.

Ian Holm as Ash lays out the company's true priorities, one of the most memorable rug pulls in or out of sci-fi. His assessment of the crew's immediate future prospects - punctuated with that incredible, humourless, simpering smile - is brutal and poignant, but entirely predictable and accurate.

The ship's name is taken from a novel of same name by Joseph Conrad, who wrote Heart of Darkness. It's of a working-class sailor exploited as an expendable tool by a powerful organisation. Shunned by the rich now their objectives are achieved he feels bitter, used, becoming paranoid and resentful.

Hey hey hey, it's January 6th! And you know what that means. It's the same every year - it's time to hang Mike Pence! Today he's going beneath the cuddlies, tucked in alongside a landscape of New York in the '30s. And relax.... the tinsel's coming down tonight. That's also tradition.
