He doesn't even realise what he's admitting to. Politics isn't even real to this lunatic, he thinks he's a character in a Michael Bay movie.

Break a leg but please don't actually break an actual leg because that would be bad.

I usually despise the idea of using an AI chatbot to generate images but on this occasion I just had to see it.

"Pin in, ping it, put a pin in it, circle back and move the needle."

- Your manager in a plastic cowboy hat standing on a cardboard haystack directing a line dance at the office christmas party.

"and I must emphasize this" just gave me an honest to goodness trauma flashback. Tanned suits with mismatched ties and really thin glasses. Like Simon Pegg in that episode of Black Books he did.
I suddenly feel cold all over.

It always sounds to me like that one manager in the office who got the job by accident and has no idea what they're doing but uses office-isms a lot. Instead of just talking like a normal person it's all "I'll run it up the flagpole and circle back. Going forward, let's not try to boil the ocean."

Or maybe I'm getting far too excited and it's just going to flop immediately...

Anyway, I have a new comic book.

Imagine if the MCU gives the world an actual bona fide K-Pop idol played by an actual real K-Pop idol who's also a movie superhero but does world tours with original music. That's either going to be a complete towering disaster or a cultural powerhouse the likes of which the world has never seen.

9. The children of the world watch in wonder as Luna Snow becomes a global sensation with attached original music, movies, a TV show, more solo comics, merch and they milk the cash cow until it falls over (because Marvel)

10. I make a few bucks on a comic book (definitely)

Everybody wins.

5. Marvel decides to cash in and Luna gets added to the MCU in the Shang-Chi sequel (arguably inevitable)

6. They have her played by an actual K-Pop idol (because why not)

7. Everyone falls in love with Luna Snow (if we aren't already)

8. The obligatory Luna Snow solo MV (obligatory)

Here's how it goes down:

1. Luna Snow becomes a fan favourite in Rivals (check)

2. K-Pop Demon Hunters goes down well with Gen Z (check)

3. K-Pop becomes an international phenomenon again after an MV goes viral (always a danger)

4. Marvel tests of Luna Snow solo comic series go well (safe bet)

The weird thing is, I'd been in there for about an hour before I even noticed. At one point, I spotted one at the other side of the pub about 3 seconds after seeing the other but I figured she just walked really fast.

Maaaate, this poorly season is brutal. I've been out with flu and the resulting obligatory sinus infection for over a month. There's enough soup in our house to survive a nuclear winter.
I'm partial to good old fashioned Heinz tomato with a cheese toastie. Gets me through the dark days.

Imagine if Biden had said "Things can happen" when Trump got shot.
