BTW did you notice in the first shot that the water seems tp be flowing uphill?

There are dozens of these available to watch online, and all equally hair-raising.

Did '"Is this a joke?" refer to a particular episode, or to the novel as a whole?

Robert Duvall RIP. Such a great actor. Here's a link to 'The Apostle' (1997), which he directed and starred in, with a superb supporting cast. A magnificent film, and a very personal project. m.ok.ru/video/224620...

Headline reads: The Epstein Files "One rule for the rich, another for you."

Time to drop this line. It's clear there are NO rules for the rich.

Very enjoyable! I expect your brain is still fizzing...

Every example I've ever seen of this kind of handwriting reads from left to right and top to bottom, and the 'alien' quality is limited to the letters/symbols. See this (from 35:14): www.youtube.com/watch?v=7SUQ... But do watch the whole spellbinding programme.

Glad you enjoyed this remarkable collection. The publisher was also entirely new to me - a fascinating list!

This is the article I wrote about the Broomway. It describes the bizarre route the Amazon van faced

It's the hand isn't it? The hand. The terrible hand.

Alas this is AI. I'm reminded of 1970s telly programmes shot on film and on video, and especially those that included both (e.g. interior shots on video, exterior film). Savvy viewers could always see the difference, most viewers not. www.youtube.com/shorts/3YBOI...

This is part of a teaser campaign for your forthcoming novel, amirite?

Two harangues don't make aright.

Always read the small print! The live interview rarely attracts any viewers, who tend to watch the whole thing after it's uploaded. But you're special...

A hill I'd certainly defend is that Thorold Dickinson's 'Gaslight' (1940) with Diana Winyard as the hapless gaslightee, is by far the better version. Released as 'Angel Street' in the US, it's available to watch online: www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBhh...

'English-Scotts-Irish' my foot. The most distinctive and influential forms of American culture - jazz, blues, rock 'n' roll, rap and all things Hollywood - were created by African Americans and Jewish immigrants, or the children of immigrants. Musk knows this but is preaching to the choir.
