My daughter’s current favourite book is The Bad-Tempered Ladybird, the moral of which is: “Don’t be a dick or somebody will give you a slap.”

The reason, it turns out, was money.

We need to re-emphasise the idea that politicians going abroad to slag off this country to foreigners in return for money or prestige is a shameful thing to do. Because even though I would guess 75% of normal people instinctively understand this, certain others do not.

The weird thing about the “Proper adaptations of the Bond novels” meme is that all the 60s films except You Only Live Twice are extraordinarily faithful adaptations of the books of the same title, and Casino Royale has one as its middle acts.

Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla would be improved immensely if one bugger had bothered to look up Welsh pronunciation.

Amazing to think that tonight EastEnders will have its Zagreus.

It’s amazing Bond films got out of the 60s. And the 80s. And the old century. 50 years of dodging the bullet through canny, minor reinvention. Amazon bad for the IP, but maybe it’s done anyway? There’s also the event horizon of Fleming going out of copyright in under a decade.

Upset and unsettled to learn Jesse Plemons was in Varsity Blues because Jesse Plemons did not exist before 2013.

One of the many ways you can tell Kemi Badenoch is too online is she keeps using “DEI” which is not a term used by UK organisations. America Brain is real and Kemi has it. She’ll be talking about jaywalking next.

Four year old almost run down by two cyclists who couldn’t wait for the lights this morning. Do people like that realise how dangerous it is that wet can no longer tell kids in London that it’s safe to cross on the green man?

I’d like to see Georgia Tennant return as Jenny, but not as an action hero; as Doctor Who’s super-together daughter who’s keeping it all on the rails, one kid at nursery, another just in school, sensible car, shops at Morrisons, and checking in on her dad’s shit is just one more thing on her list.

What’s the German word for “I thought I finally found the way forward in Tomb Raider but it was just a secret”?

You do sort of have to laugh, a bit, at the US government going 'it says here "funding to secure a second American century" - we can cut that, right? Sounds pretty woke, right?'

Maybe it’s because it’s so unloved, maybe it’s because it’s the first one I finished without cheats, but I have a lot of affection for Tomb Raider Chronicles. I understand the cynicism towards it at the time, but in retrospect it’s hard to level worse accusations at it than The Last Revelation.

So, to “lecturing Europeans about free speech while banning journalists from briefings” we can add “taking over European security while accidentally firing the people who look after their nuclear weapons”. #Trump #Musk #MAGA

I’m not keen on the framing of this story, which veers at least close to blaming Rayner for not reporting the messages about herself in 2022. Let’s not pretend that for women reporting sexist abuse about yourself is some kind of risk free exercise www.theguardian.com/politics/202...
