SENSE AND SENSIBILITY starring Daisy Edgar-Jones. Directed by Georgia Oakley. Coming soon from Focus Features and Working Title Films.

I Photoshop Paddington into a movie, TV show, or pop culture until I forget: Day 1561

"Think about it: Why broker peace, when you can give in to your basest urges and plunge a whole system into war?"

At a by-election watch party, because it is close to my place, but two issues: - there’s no TV, so I don’t think they thought out the Watch part. - the person sitting next to me is talking to me.

Dr. Charles Nichols, longtime friend of Dr. Richard Kimball, and shareholder and spokesperson for the new miracle drug Provasic, has endorsed Cuomo.

Voted!* *by-election edition

Went looking for some relaxing music to listen to, because,…everything, and and a video that sounded promising. Nature sounds, with the sounds of a campfire and a running water But, the water sounded more like the jets of a hot tub than a gentle, meandering stream.

sorry i knew i wanted to be a writer since i was six and could physically write and sometimes it's hard and shitty as i work through my ideas and sometimes it's the purest narcotic joy of finding the right words and you want me to involve a lying theft robot? what's wrong with you?

Busy day. Time to decompress with some videos

Remembering this great tweet on the Summer Solstice

Ten-part series!?! Haven’t read the book but will be watching. I did read a book with P&P told from the POV of the Bennett’s servants, which was excellent

Episode 40: In Covid's Wake Looking back at a pandemic that killed more than 1 million people, two political scientists bravely ask, "Could we have done even less?" podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/i...

We moved my mother into palliative care. The Edmonton General. The unit looks like it has been renovated lately. Nicer than expected. The General is generally, but it’s old. My dad got good care when he was here. And I can take the LRT here so I won’t bankrupt myself with parking. Rough day

No Kings clearly does not include Aragorn, son of Arathorn, bearer of Andúril (forged from the remains of Narsil), as he is the direct lineal heir of Isildur and thus the rightful ruler of Gondor and Arnor, and called King Elessar, which means “Elf-Stone” in Quenya, the tongue of the Elves.

The Pretty in Pink/Back to the Future crossover you’ve been waiting for. #NoKings Los Angeles!!! (Leah Thompson is a real one)

Love it!

Heads-up, Lovecraftian cultists: A new Nyarlathotep just dropped. "It appears that we’ve entered the Elder God’s Endgame."

"I expect one of you overpaid three-martini-lunch layabouts to have a good explanation why my family’s home-decor company is bleeding money like a physician of high standing using proper, modern medical techniques against female mental illness?"

Reminder that I AM LATINA AND PROUD. I am the product of immigration - my grandmother was undocumented and entered the country from Mexico as a baby. My mother was a fierce, gorgeous Latina woman of Mexican and Spanish descent.

RIP. Great writer. My favourite novel of his is Fist of God, about the Iraqi “supergun”. Part historical novel about the scientist who developed the gun and a fictionalized version of the American hunt for the gun. Great stuff. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Still waiting for the article that’s like “these right wing militia members are in a bubble and it would be healthier if they exposed themselves to left wing ideas”

Sees trailer for new James Bond game. Fantastic. James Bind looks like the actor who plays Anthony Bridgerton. Ok. They use John Berry music in the trailer. Amazing. Looks like there a driving mechanic in the game,… I wish the game well. Not the game for me. It’s not the game,…it’s me.

Good news: Japanese researchers may have found an explanation for long Covid and a possible treatment for it.

Here- first teaser. Much more to come…

I am so excited for this movie

O shit! Holy shit! I was not expecting that loop-de-loop. Woah! Anyways. Still joined are we, In this melded wagon of thrill, As action-seekers and comrades who-- (Happy b-day, Walt!)

I think the final proofs of my book on Tacfarinas have finally been signed off & so it will shortly be heading for the printing press. A book about anti-#Roman rebellion in northwest Africa in the early reign of Tiberius. Now available for pre-order www.pen-and-sword.co.uk/Tacfarinas-A...

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

RIP Loretta Swift. I like this scene because she’s part of the joke rather than being the butt of the joke
