I fully understand why Theo has not seen many movies, he is out there getting into scrapes, japes and raconteur level situations.

I'd loved to have seen what the third part of that series was before Abrams came back on deck.

For nearly twenty years! Part paid for by Solid Energy who destroyed their habitat! Fuck up Jordy Williams.

Also, and it's going to make people mad - Rogue One gave the world Andor by saying 'What if FUCK these sacred bloodlines and we find out what the fuck everyone else is doing in this universe under fascism, rebelling or otherwise?' and the other Star Wars movie to try to do that is The Last Jedi lol

I mean it's fundamentally weird that the guys who wrote Rogue One are the Bourne series writer and the co-writer of American Pie, but it worked. That Gilroy brought in his brother, the House of Cards guy, The Americans writer and Tom Bissell and got Andor? I mean, that's some collaboration for good.

This is a genuine twist, especially given how much Vader and the Imperial aesthetic itself had been commercialised and packaged and sold as something that looked good - kids clothes with Stormtroopers on (??!) - which deliberately softened Star Wars' fascist regime. Then Tony Gilroy turned up.

We have all seen this happen, and seen people with the power to stop it refuse to do so. How we spend the rest of our lives using whatever individual or collective power we have to hold those people, and those that did this, accountable - or at least make them completely miserable - is up to us.

It is a genocide. It is ethnic cleansing. It is an expanding aggression in the Middle East. It is Netanyahu's need for perpetual conflict to maintain his position. It is about his coalition partners who admit to genocide and ethnic cleansing. It is all of these things. It is not about the hostages.

I try not to talk about this too much, because we can all see it happening. How do you express the horror at a genocide that is apparently endorsed by all the powers that claim moral authority for the past near century? When you're also being tone policed to make sure you don't call it what it is?

There is no moral argument which can justify what has happened, what everyone can see is happening, what is reported by those trapped inside as the media are deliberately shut out. Anyone not seeing what a colossal and public crime against humanity this is, must be morally void and dead inside.

There are war-crimes upon war-crimes, bodies, building and blood so deep that actually working out how at least 100,000 people actually died may be impossible - and it's being done purposefully, in a calculating manner to make it as difficult as possible to hold those responsible to account.

You might notice the number goes up. Yeah, the more you look - the more death there is. Could be 70,000. Could be 100,000. Could be 150,000. If 1,000 Palestinians, Iranians, Lebanese and Syrians die for every Israeli killed on October 7 2023, is that enough death to satisfy people's thirst for it?

"but what about October 7 2023?" The 1500 deaths are tragic but do attacks on Gaza, the West Bank, Lebanon, Syria and Iran get justice for those deaths? Or is this an unrestrained politically motivated genocide and destabilisation to keep Netanyahu in power, because if the music stops he's done.

Jetlag The Game on YouTube. It's a board game and a travel show and a competition show and taskmaster in the real world and a buddy comedy and a love letter to public transit all in one. And if you like it, there's HEAPS of seasons.

I'm getting back into my writing poetry era of life! Writing has been my therapeutic escape since childhood. Poetry is the next step.

Sat and watched an Ashes test on a big screen in Manchester next to Tim Spall about twenty years ago. Nice guy.

Can't wait to meet Benito Reichstag, the guy who gets the Capitol evacuated after calling in a bomb threat.

Been listening to every Jethro Tull studio album in sequence because I didn’t have the money to own them all back in the day. Just finished “A”, so “The Broadsword and the Beast” is next.

Started re-reading Moby Dick for a book club. Last time I read it was over 30 years ago, so I’m digging seeing it with my old man eyes. Ideally, we should reread books every 10 years…..also loving S2 of Poker Face. Pushes my Columbo pleasure button.
