It doesn’t matter if it was a Nazi salute, it matters if the kids believe Trump saved TikTok. It’s all smoke and mirrors, what matters are the actions. It matters what’s being hidden and it matters that the rich idiots are being used as a smokescreen. I’m more worried about Ukraine and Israel.
What I liked about Twin Peaks was… to be honest a lot. After Cornish Bloke and The Jellicle pestering me for literal years to watch it and hearing my parents basically dismiss it as just another investigation show I wasn’t sure what to expect. Particularly because I had watched Dune and Eraserhead and they were … Read More
At some point as a teenager at school we saw Polanski’s Macbeth and I thought it was fucking brilliant.

Had dinner out for my birthday, pizza because BBF could get a gluten free option easily. Before that though I played two games, both very gamey which leaves me a little worried for tomorrow. So this morning The Pirate and I were in the same game which was really nice. He hasn’t played Space 1889 … Read More
So, this is my birthday treat, a LARP um… festival? Convention? No idea what to call it. In any case this first night is all a bit of a party and hang out. My hotel is wonderfully close, met up with BBF for sushi beforehand and discovered to my cash rich horror that too much … Read More
