So the summer solstice has come and gone once more. Hardly worth mentioning. Curiously in this hemisphere we celebrate the days getting shorter. As I think on this I ask myself if those three ghosts are going to annoy me again this year. When are they going to take the hint and fuck off for good?

Someone should push the conspiracy theory that excessive use of cosmetics and fillers causes Autism.

So Vance says the FCC Chair was merely joking. A typical tactic of abusive personalities. When pushed back they fall on the "It was just a joke. Can't you take a joke?" line.
Chaos reigns when dominant behaviors compete. One moment sycophancy. Next arrogance, paranoia, sadism. Never normalize this.

Am I the only person who remembers how everyone went ape-shit over Google Glass? Where's the privacy outrage now? What changed?

@StromloANU This tour was a gift from my wife, and the bestest gift ever! Fridays star gazing tour was just me, Janet and our charming guide Axelle Raffin. A total delight. I'll not forget the experience and "I'll be back!".

Last day of the #MIFF2025. There's been many highlights worth mentioning. Last night was 2023s 'The Toxic Avenger'. It has not been released - one wonders why - but does capture the rough irreverent humor of the original and then some. Five stars...

Showing at #MIFF2025 with two more sessions, another Sergey Loznitsa film that keeps the audience in a constant state of dread with the stories inevitable arc. 'Two Prosecutors', a must see film for apologists of all dictatorships, current and wannabees. @garrykasparov.bsky.social

Oh, and I've decided to try matching alcohol with movie genres. Mario Brava is most definitely a Port.
What's your choice?

There's a Barbra Steele selection showing at ACMI over the next few weeks. Unfortunately can't go tonight as the wifey is unwell. Not to fear though we have copies of both films so tonight we'll watch Black Sunday (1960)! We saw Corman's Pit and the Pendulum last week.
