Owns too many books. Likes James Bond (esp. Sir Tim of Dalton), Star Trek, Blakes 7, Doctor Who & Quatermass. And that is me smiling.
I am so happy that the advert with the smug family who get free airport lounge access is back on. It's been missed.

Every so often, I accidently discover a book that could have been written specifically for me. This time, it's Once Upon a Time in Space, courtesy of the Waterstones sale. And the bonus is that there is a BBC series that goes with it.

There’s no such thing as the Gulf of America, the Department of War, or the Trump Kennedy Center. They exist only in a deranged old man’s head. Watch how fast these signs get torn down once he’s done.

I've just had my December salary paid.
My first thought is to work out how many days it will be until I'm paid my January salary.
It's 40.

From the great JG Ballard: "Richard Pearson is visiting Surrey to close down his late father’s home and settle his affairs and, everywhere he looks, the flag of St George is flying 'from suburban gardens and filling stations and branch post offices'. How nice, he thinks, how festive."
Want to understand the sickness of Britain today? Look no further – a novel explained it all 20 years ago | Aditya Chakrabortty
The racism, the predatory politics, the banality and cruelty: we struggle to make sense of it, but JG Ballard foretold everything we are living through now, says Guardian columnist Aditya Chakrabortty

Hollywood actors spend a lifetime honing their craft to imitate the seething malevolence here. No portrayal of Kathy Bates, Nurse Ratched or Dolores Umbridge comes close to this horror.

I've loved Sigourney Weaver ever since one of my all-time favorite movies, ALIEN. Couldn't resist going all fanboy on her yesterday & asking for a photo. She told me she's now in the cast of The Mandalorian. Talk about bad timing: she's now in that galaxy far, far away, years after I checked out! 💔

The thing about Hitler's rise to power is that we have known how it was done for a long time and that the constitutions of other western democracies are vulnerable to the same methods, but nothing at all has been done to raise our defences. Why ?

I don’t understand why people attempt to denigrate Hallmark Christmas films by referring to them as “too cheesy”, as if that is a bad thing? I mean, have you *had* cheese? It’s not exactly the insult that you think it is.

It sure looks like Russian intelligence attempted to use military drones to assassinate the President of Ukraine inside an EU country.
Looking forward to more thoughts from Belgium on why freezing Russian assets is an escalatory move that might compromise the peace process.
