It's actually better than VR. Not hard I admit.

I've been banging on about #TheMinistryForTheFuture for ages. Luckily I'd been warned about the first chapter. Horrific but really hits home. We have the technology to at least start fighting climate change! But how to make governments and mega rich get real? Well.... 🔥
Really enjoyed this pod, ta.

Starship Alexandria episode 7 is here! @aptshadow.bsky.social and I discuss The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson and I share one of my favourite pieces of music. Next month's episode is all about Robert Holdstock's Mythago Wood. starshipalexandria.com/episode-7-th...

Not seen Anne with an E.
I ended up on Sullivans Crossing. Perfect bollox. Don't care about any of the characters but nice views. Someone changed a couple of names in a Virgin River script and made a 'new' series.

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 3d

Yes, on your rec I watched it all.

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 3d

Can anyone help? I need sommat light, vacuous, shiny and slightly gripping to watch - like Riviera, Riders or sommat. On Bbc or Netflix.
None of that 'reality' nonsense, or much violence.
I haven't the energy to watch my usual #kdramas with subtitles.

I'm really enjoying #AGracefulLiar on @kocowaofficial.bsky.social but it's beyond ridiculous. How does any of them think they can suddenly switch the bride after her in laws have got to know the fake?
Only just realised he's a stepson. Phew!

P.S. this book cover is all wrong IMO.

They weren't joking about razor blades in the throat.
Any tasty low carb porridge recipes? Oats n chia aint too bad.

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 7d

So far, so not a good guy.

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 7d

Hah yeh. He didn't even mention it.
I'm enjoying it, but like Breaking Bad I have to look away when drug gangs do their extreme casual violent things.

I don't know why, but that's made my day.

Nerd is not a bad thing x

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 11d

I'll give it a go. Hope it has humour too (that's what I love about kdrama - chuck in all the emotions).
I loved reading Lessons in Chemistry, so less inclined to watch it.

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 11d

It's so good, in many ways. I don't know what to watch now.

Hah yes. I try to make myself look at art in galleries before reading the little bit of text next to them. Fail 99% of the time.
And as for picture books, er, graphic novels..... nah, just read the words.

Creepy uncle and Consort Kang deserve a grisly end

I'm letting all that flow over me. I'm more concerned with her changing history while time travelling back and wondering what she'll return to. Arrgh.
I think the 'tyrant king' was a clever media smear,as he's being a sage king these days - Ep11.

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 14d

Delusional or monstrous liar ? 🤔

The DILETTANTE @demwar.bsky.social · 14d

Hey @albomp.bsky.social this is just our ‘ally’, someone your govt says we share values with, sending troops into his own city with authorisation to use full force on his own citizens for a made up war zone.

How can you stand with this lunacy and ask for our vote ever again?

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 14d

Me too. I keep laughing out loud and the trippy near orgasmic eating scenes are just fab.
Best kdrama I've seen for ages. I've never bothered with a Joseon one before, so the hierarchy of hats is an unexpected delight.

Jane C @jane23c.bsky.social · 15d

Not sure if K-pop Star = Idol
But I'm going for Lee Hong-gi as PK in A Korean Odyssey. I love him and Richie.
