Only just found out Tony Gilroy is an American. Thought with a name like Tony Gilroy he’d have written on a couple seasons of Torchwood and 16,746 episodes of Doctors.

An absolute all-timer right here.

Finally

I do have a day off work tomorrow. Its tempting to just stay up until the thing happens

I needed this

Wasn’t sure my exact level of contempt for ai was but then I just refused to use it to write a cover letter

New Kafka just dropped

Main character energy is OUT, this summer we’re bringing NPC energy. We’re posted up at the bar dropping lore and suggesting side quests. We’re leaning casually near a locked door and saying “I don’t think you have the key for that” when someone tries the handle. We’re staring at a tree.

Still recovering from Slam Dunk

And if we take the children from the factories, whose tiny hands will fetch the thread-shuttle from the blades of the electric loom?

Heading to Slam Dunk

The fact we all know what a Sliding Doors moment is when basically nobody saw that movie is wild to me.

If I was a scientist my biggest goal would be to have an Effect named after me. I would love to be the reason some ball falls weirdly slow in a tube

Helped Jo with her table at an anime con today. We barely made over expenses but at least there was a J-pop singer banging out Cruel Angel’s Thesis and that good theme from Full Metal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

Happy birthday starswar!

Just saw the word “stablecoin” for the first time and sighed because it’s another thing I have to know about

In an excellent mood because the barber just said I have “proper hair, like an Italian footballer”.

And then you see it. As it strangles and beats your friends to death... the sweetest most courageous people in the world. You see the fear and power in its eyes. Then you *know*. That the bourgeois are not human.

It's Friday. It's the shortest amount of time anyone has ever owned a trouser press. youtu.be/tNqn5bKmKNc?...

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

Oh yeah. Found out today I’m losing my job in the charity sector because of USAID cuts

Do we have a reason why David Beckham has been in so many ads recently?

Can’t be at the Torquay game so I’ve decided to mainline the Southern League title race and get updates on all the games today.

Been making a new report for a few weeks and someone asked me what the acronym it’s called means. Had to confess I have no idea

My own favourite April 23 fact is that both Shakespeare and Cervantes died on April 23 1616, ten days apart.

Holy Island being the place of refuge for 28 Years Later is a vindication of the zombie plan I came up with in my 20s
