I don’t know which men need to hear this but: women don’t owe you or me anything.
Just realised that this episode is exactly half my age.
It’s 15 years since it aired (well, minus 24 days) and I was 15 at the time.
It’s still just as magical as the first time I saw it.

Welp. RFK jr got what he wanted thanks to this careless journalism: headlines written by nation's top media outlets promoting an unproven link between covid vaccines & childhood fatalities. All the next-day rewrites & fact checks won't get nearly as much play as the initial anti-vaxx propaganda.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Huh, funny how not one, not two, THREE of the biggest Hollywood movies this year dealt with the main villain(s) working with powerful world leaders to cover up their plans for colonialism as a plot point.

The response to the Melbourne Metro from some people is equally weird and unhinged.
They dislike a specific state government so much that they don't want the state's capital city to have nice things, just because that state government built it.
Anyway, I'm excited. Can't wait to see the tunnel!

Was asked why I don’t like generative AI visuals and text:
They're redundant, were before they were made.
What they generate isn't new and it isn't art.
It's imitation of the work of people who possess skill.

I don’t particularly like ranking, but here’s how I rank the Knives Out films so far:
1. Wake Up Dead Man.
2. Knives Out.
3. Glass Onion.
And I still love Glass Onion, even with it in the third spot.
These films are just wonderful.

If you are able to, see Wake Up Dead Man in cinema, it’s a stunning looking film and the big screen is the best place for it.
And it’s got the same humour, quirky characters, and editing and mystery as the other two films.
Love it!

A month ago I posted that I was having a fun time playing Star Wars Outlaws.
This guy couldn’t handle a world with a different opinions and ranted on how terrible Disney is and how their take on Star Wars isn’t his cup of tea, and tagged a random collection of users.
He’s still at it.

Net migration has fallen again to 204,000, the lowest level since 2021 and is forecast to continue falling over the coming years.
