F1 Half-Season Recap (2025)
Piastri has the edge over the first 12 races. Norris running him close, Max fighting a poor car, Russell sniping good results. A dominant McLaren, self-destructing Red Bull, underwhelming Ferrari. Kimi & Hadjar showing talent. Hulk podium! Oscar will win the title. #f1

Quick TV Review - Murderbot (Season 1)
Sardonic sentient cyborgs? Yup. Based on the Martha Wells novels, Skarsgard is the central SecUnit who has to deal with inconvenient human emotions in a near future (off)world. Takes a little while but this show gets there. #murderbot

Quick Movie Review - F1 The Movie (2025)
Kosinski takes his Maverick formula to F1 and it works. Brad is great, but it’s the camerawork and sound that impresses. Kinetic, pulsating, breathless. A typical Hollywood story, but stunningly unique action. See it on IMAX. #F1

Motorsport Prediction - Le Mans 24hr 2025
After a stunning front row lockout by Cadillac ahead of the more fancied Ferrari, Toyota & Porsche squads, I’m picking the #38 piloted by Bamber, Bourdais, & Button to win the US marque’s first ever victory at Circuit de la Sarthe. #wec #lemans24 #hypercar

Quick TV Review - Andor (Season 2)
This is peak Star Wars. Compelling, moving, timely. A complex web of narrative around grounded characters. Luna & Skarsgard are immense. A tragic & forceful tale of hope and resistance without any need of the Force. #andor #starwars

With a shock rookie pole-sitter, a scandal at Penske, and while Dixon, Sato, & McLaughlin will be strong, I foresee Alex Palou coming thru to drink whole milk and claim possible future GOAT-hood with his first win at the Speedway. #indycar #ganassi #palou

Quick Movie Review - Sinners (2025)
Ryan Coogler’s stylish horror is a bloody and fantastic tale of family, anger & the blues. Jordan owns the dual role of the central twin brothers. See on a big screen with great sound to appreciate the visuals & featured music. #vampires

Quick TV Review - The Agency (Season 1)
Adapted from The Bureau (2015-20) a spy-thriller full of lies, tech & tension. Deliberate, intriguing plotting. A slow burn. Stellar cast & fantastic anchoring performance by Fassbender. Clearly setting up future seasons. #theagency

Motorsport Prediction - F1 Champion 2025
This will be a hyper-competitive season. but by mid season McLaren and Ferrari drivers will begin to dominate and from these my pick is Oscar Piastri. He’ll take another step in his development and clinch a first title. #OfficialOP #AusGP #F1 #OP81

Motorsport Prediction - F2 Champion 2025
The F2 series is always a battle. However the reigning teams champion Invicta has signed the 2024 F3 drivers champ so I pick Leonardo Fornaroli as my choice to win the title this season. #f2

Motorsport Prediction - Indycar Champion 2025
With so many competitive drivers on the grid like Palou, Dixon, Power & Newgarden, this year will be another dogfight season, but I’m picking Scott McLaughlin in the No.3 Penske to fight thru & take his maiden series title. #indycar #penske

An interesting long-form piece on the recent decentralisation of social media which asks about the impact this may have for online communities. @noemamag.com
“For the past two decades, most online discourse has occurred on a handful of social media platforms. Their dominion seemed unshakeable.”

But that’s changed, @noupside.bsky.social writes. What does the rise of new platforms like Truth Social & Bluesky portend? ⬇️
