Ah man the wish fulfilment in the second trick to see a millionaire get his comeuppance is so great. I fact this film is so much better than I remember. Only 12 years old and still original and imaginative.

The Rand Water maintenance this weekend has finally hit us. Been without water since 22:00 last night with no sign of restored supply yet. And wouldn’t you know it, we can’t even put buckets out cause the damn rain went away when we needed it most 😡

Common consensus seems to be that Lizz Truss is in need of some kind of intervention, or is suffering some kind of psychlogical breakdown. I don't think this is true. I think she's just a gigantic fucking idiot.

This is surprisingly good. Kevin James has done a couple of action films and they’ve not been bad but this is far less comedic and more straight 90s action. Also Christina Ricci is doing some insane fighting in this

Any attack targeted at people just because they are Jewish is as barbaric and evil as any attack on people just because they are Palestinian, or whatever other nationality. I will not accept any justification or relativization for this horrifying act of antisemitism in my mentions. Evil, period.

Very interesting, had no idea coops were such a big part of the Italian economy. Seems like something worthy of study and adaptation for SA and maybe Africa as a whole? Won’t be easy, too many greedy fucks, but either try or just accept the status quo.

Watched a few of the trailers from TGA. Some interesting stuff but so many cinematic trailers. Also after the last couple of brutal years, tough to get excited knowing that these could so easily be cancelled. Also seems not much from PS and Xbox, latter not that surprising
