Trump: "You can give up certain products. You could give up pencils. Because under the China policy, every child can get 37 pencils. They only need 1 or 2. They don't need that many. You always need steel. You don't need 37 dolls for your daughter. 2 or 3 is nice. So we're doing things right."

I see Twitter remains as excellent as ever.
Some spanner quote tweeting Kay Burley to tell them just how much they *don't* care what they think and then proceeding to attempt to dismiss her as 'Irreverent' before bestowing a blessing on her footwear.

Folks, I really need some help. For the last 10-15 days, I've been pretty much out of action, which has put me two weeks behind on promoting my Film Stories 500 show in London next week.
I'd be grateful for any help/support in getting the word out.
Thank you.

At some point a start-up is going to announce AI powered killer robots wrapped in human flesh that they admit won't be profitable until a nuclear armageddon happens.

That girl bands documentary is great fun (apart from the bits that are horribly bleak), but we really need to call time on opening programmes with footage of interview subjects finding their marks, adjusting their seats and farting about with the clapperboard.

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

However more importantly beforehand there was a trailer for I Swear which contained a review quote from @simonbrew.bsky.social.
Leo and Simon together on screen at last.
