Taxes are pretty much the only thing related to personal/family finance they do this little "what if that made someone's life difficult" dance for.
Benefits cut to the bone? Not interested
Wages eroded by inflation for decades and decades? Nope.
Technology abolished your job? Nope.

This house tax pretending is making me more insane than usual because as a renter I’ve had to move every 1-3 years just as standard because rents always rise. And no one cares. House owners get a tiny fraction of that precarity and suddenly it’s the worst thing that’s ever happened

Do we or do we not live in a country where these awful people got their way at almost every major decision point of the century so far? We do! Is it good? No, it is a national calamity. Are they sorry? No they’re not, they’re *absolutely furious* that they haven’t got more and worse.

Today is the 56th anniversary of the first performance of Mahna Mahna on Sesame Street. You’re familiar with it by now, of course, but... well, it never hurts to be reminded, does it?

Just out of Wake Up Dead Man. Loved it. Felt a lot more like Knives Out 1, but also unique and surprising in its own way.
Kept me guessing right until the end, which is all I want from a good whodunnit.

This afternoon's film: Wake Up Dead Man, on the big screen! Lapsed Catholic movie fans everywhere are gonna call this their film of the year (Pope Leo will dig it too) and I'm not far off either. I like Glass Onion but this is totally the other way - still funny, not as goofy, still fiendishly good.

If there's one thing that Starmer and his allies are getting right, it's that getting rid of the prime minister and then foisting Streeting into Number Ten without even a leadership election, let alone a general election, would be seen by the general public as a grotesque insult.

I’m going to retweet this, because it is an absolutely worthwhile Christmas gift tip. I say it every year.

I teased this last night in What I’m Hearing but now confirmed: Paramount WILL release Rush Hour 4 after prodding from Trump on behalf of Brett Ratner. Distribution deal. Producer Tarak Ben Ammar is lining up financing. Get ready for the dumbest possible state-controlled media.

So today has been taking decent cars from disabled people and eliminating jury trials. What’s tomorrow? Skinning cats and compulsory child bearings? It just seems like they want to be deliberately cruel at all times to sate the appetites of piece of shit who won’t vote for them anyway. Fuck them.

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.
