Well I have this persistent pain down my right hand side. I'm assuming it's faulty diodes and not a trapped nerve. That would make me human, right?

Ahmed al Ahmed, the man who tackled one of the Bondi killers, became an Australian citizen 3 years ago.
His deed was "his way of conveying his gratitude for staying in Australia, for being granted citizenship."
He took 5 bullets, and fears he'll lose his left arm.

First Knight. On what I think was the third or fourth all too predictable ambush the entire cinema audience started shouting "he's behind you!" Pantomime style.
It was the only good thing about the film.

Aliens. First week of release. 1986, before social media, so no one had even heard of 'spoilers'. Ripley reappears in the loader. To say the entire audience cheered as one doesn't begin to cover it. We roared!
Raising the always fun question: What are your most memorable theater-going experiences?
Mine also include The Matrix, Blair Witch, and being way too stoned in Belgium when Fellowship of the Ring was sold out so we sat in the back row for Mulholland Drive instead.

I poured a lot of guts and angst into this. I wanted to write different SF, about being alive, afraid, and looking for something to fill the hole that lives in all of us.
And look, you get another novella with it! Find out where to buy:

Make a movie better by adding John Carpenter's to the title:

While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

Dear politicians,
When we say we want a #WealthTax and to #TaxTheRich, we're not talking about the middle classes, or even the upper middle classes and the pretty well off.
We're talking about the obscenely ****ING rich, i.e. those ****ers with more than the GDP of most countries - tax them!!

Europe's strongest response — and a powerful card it has — is to use frozen russian assets for Ukraine. Otherwise, sooner than later, those assets will end up feeding the russian war machine.
Now it's time to adopt the Reparation Loan.
