So...that Kpop Demon Hunters, eh! Very late to the party here but I understand now. Wall to wall bangers. Lovely visuals. I've been sick all week and it's really perked me up. I reckon I'll probably be watching this again within a couple of weeks, and this time on my main telly instead of in bed.

To everyone on Bluesky finding out about Walliams and despairing at the fact that "I read those books to my kids" I just want to reassure them that it's OK. He didn't write them.

Just to be clear, politicians have engineered a situation whereby the NHS is in crisis and people are so scared and angry that many no longer feel empathy for the doctors tasked with holding the service together.

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back
Insulting to the players, insulting to the IP, insulting to the medium, the developers. And the craft itself. Fuck you executives who pushed this garbage.

No Wes Streeting, the BMA is not acting like a cartel. It’s acting like a trade union. And frankly it’s disgusting to hear you talk like this while huge numbers of doctors can’t get NHS jobs because you haven’t created them, while millions of patients are on waiting lists🚨🚨🚨

The British government admits it is now monitoring VPNs use by UK residents. Regulator Ofcom has contracted with an AI-powered surveillance service to detect the number of citizens using VPNs to evade the Online Safety Act.
The UK tech minister has said a VPN ban is on the table.

I keep laughing when royal apologists say Charles took action because the royals don't want to take up Parliament's time. No, he took belated action in order to limit damage and avoid coming under scrutiny that would reveal he & his mother protected & enabled Andrew's abuse & corruption for decades.

Ridley Scott says Hollywood is “drowning in mediocrity”
“The quantity of movies that are made today, literally globally – millions. Not thousands, millions… and most of it is s**t… And so what I do – it’s a horrible thing – but I’ve started watching my own movies, and actually they’re pretty good!

And to make the night even better, Forest lost again. Watching them implode is wonderful.
It's crazy to think that about two years ago Roy Hodgson was telling #CPFC fans to be grateful for what they have after an abysmal run of games. And since then Glasner has taken that same team to an FA Cup and Community Shield, and got off to an immaculate start in Europe.

Rowling seems suddenly very concerned about child actors making lots of money before they become adults. No doubt she's on the phone to HBO right now to shut down production of the Potter TV series.
As an adult who has experienced life completely without wealth and fame, Rowling is so blinded by prejudice that she is ignorant of how ignorant she is. 😔

Watched #Sinners for the third time today. It's been my film of the year since release and I was pretty confident then that it would be my film of the year no matter what. Now I'm pretty convinced it could be my film of the decade. Going to be incredibly hard for any film to come close.
