Jude Law? Or too skinny?

Fair enough!

Ewan Macgregor?

Tom Easton @tomeaston.bsky.social · 20h

Not bad. I think I might have plumped for someone with a little humour. Like Hugh Grant. Or James McAvoy. Though McAvoy might have been too young.

Yes. But who in 2003?

Tom Easton @tomeaston.bsky.social · 20h

Master and Commander (2003) is nearly a perfect film for me apart from the casting of Russell Crowe.

Not sure who should have played Aubrey but absolutely not him.

Ah, happy 88th anniversary of the day Oswald Mosley tried to sell fascism to Liverpudlians – and someone concussed him with a brick

A man in a suit stands at a microphone which has been mounted on the roof of a van. There are loudspeakers at his feet, and a building behind him. He has an arm raised, and is flinching as projectiles are hurled at him, because he's a fucking Nazi

It's #WorldMentalHealthDay so here are some reminders:

+Do not suffer in silence. Get help.

+Being on meds for your mental health isn't a sign of weakness or moral failure any more than, say, blood pressure meds are. We do what we do to survive.

+You are needed here. Stay. 1 breath at a time.

HGTV has taught me you can do anything if you have the right tools. I’ve also learned that any handyman you hire will have those tools.
