I’ve somehow ended up with two copies of this on Blu-Ray and I’m still looking at the new 4K of it too. Absolute cinema.

At least two of the actors from this are in the BBC show Guilt. Also darkly funny and worth a watch.

The more I read and hear about the making and genesis of this show the more I’m convinced we’re not going to get another one quite like it.

Gilroy actually stated that, while negotiating for the budget, Disney told him “streaming is dead.” But before they bailed on the streaming game, they gave him $650M for “Andor.”

Welcome to my 2025 novella recommendation thread! For the rest of the year, I am going to recommend novellas in the science fiction, fantasy, and horror genres for the consideration of Hugo nominators. And, crucially, these are all going to be novellas NOT published by Tor.

Soon after, when he settles in FW/Dallas he becomes friends with the Russian emigre community, as well as George De Mohrenschildt a confirmed CIA field agent. It does stink of double agent shenanigans.

The biggest question over Oswald comes with his defection to Russia and renunciation of US citizenship in 1959 after a stint in the Marines (including work at Atsugi where the U2 operated from). He returns to the U.S in ‘62 and is allowed back in with no snags at the height of the Cold War.

The Israeli army is building an AI language model using millions of intercepted conversations between Palestinians, accelerating incrimination and arrest.

Blowback Season 6's trailer is out and its going to be about Angola- I'm very excited. I'm a big fan of the program and Noah Kulwin is a good friend. No one seems to have posted it on Bluesky both because it has only appeared on twitter and its more than a minute long (damn Bluesky!), so I will

Seen a few folks astonished by my lack of support for ChatGPT and similar. Because AI, right?

Yeah, no. What we have right now is glorified autocorrect. Glorified autocorrect that takes the energy of an entire city to do what it does, plus half of Lake Erie to cool down while it's doing it.
