Keeping wages low & reducing working conditions to subsidise excessive senior bonuses is not good for the economy and sets back generations of progression.

Son of Godzilla is not a franchise highlight (the Godzilla suit is bad, and so ist the first form Baby G) - but the Gimantis and Kumonga were excellent creature creations!

At least Chase Masterson (Leeta from DS9 and co-founder of the anti-hate 'Pop Culture Hero Coalition') appreciates my fashion sense!

Of all the commitments I've made - this is supreme, I'm a weirdo-geeky obsessive, but she's my best obsession and I bloody knows it.

Massive excitement in the Rooke house tonight because there's a cat that's not ours in the garden.
It's been sat on the back step looking through the door. It's had some biscuits but Clem isn't happy. She's fluffed up and growling.

It's a pretty shit picture (it's a massive crop of a photo - it was basically a dot in the original), but it does prove that I saw a puffin yesterday - the first I've ever seen at the stunning Yorkshire coast!

It's important to have a point of optimism when the world seems full of billionaire despots, racists, transphobes and various other c*nts.
Live long and prosper you wonderful bastards!

I know a load of folk LOVE the Marvel stuff, but I just find it so bland, I find the vast majority mediocre, and some to be absolute shite. I know that a load of people hate the stuff I tend to watch - I love watching 1960s Godzilla movies so I'm not claiming to have better taste*!!!

I'm 6 months late to the party on this one, but I watched 'Joker: Folie à Deux' and really enjoyed it. Wasn't expecting much as everyone I know who've seen it hated it, but I thought it was way better than any of the Marvel stuff they've churned out over the last decade and a half.

Reading about daily goings-on in America is like reading the latest installment of a dystopian novel. It must be terrifying being a trans kid in the USA at the moment, having your identity deleted & your existence challenged by rich 'alpha' extremists who ironically wear a lot of makeup in public.

On Deep Space 9 there's a Cardassian called Garak ...but is he just a simple tailor?
Garak is one of Star Trek's best characters. He's the opposite of Starfleet in so many ways, but still has his own principles.

In terms of 'latest Trek' - I've not yet watched the last season of Lower Decks (because I don't want it to ever end).

The #Switch2 is likely to be bigger/faster version of the Switch. But here's hoping that that #Nintendo have a funky surprise. Personally I'm hoping for an improved dock with supplemental hardware/chipset so that handheld is light & easy (and cheaper), & docked is hardcore and an optional upgrade.

I'm not quite sure if there's such a thing as an anti-wank, but if there is, then this is ideal anti-wank material.
