Teacher, film lover, Springsteen idoliser, man-crushing on Peter Cushing, a matinee idol in a day dream once, desperately wants to be reading detective novels and Batman comics.

Sorry Superman ain't flying around, randomly putting brown people in swamp prisons. That must be hard for you. Thoughts and prayers and whatnot.

I came out of Superman really disappointed yesterday. Largely because the third act just devolves into superhero movie nonsense, and I felt the whole movie ultimately doesn't hang together because of that. It does get by on being incredibly charming and the cast are wonderful.

Please don’t ignore this the next time you’re told “it’s either these guys or Reform” coz this is also what Reform would do and you should rail against it no matter what colour the tie is.
Incontrovertible evidence, now, of *police* investigating families supporting their kids with gender affirming healthcare in the UK. For trying to do the best for your child, following best practice in most of the world, here you get a visit from the police.

Thank you, Wes Streeting.

Radical? Lowering bills, reducing rents, defending our NHS, and refusing to arm genocide.

The real radicals are in government - and the commentariat that “warns” you when we all dare to say: it doesn’t have to be like this.

Contemplating re-reading Morrison and Co's Batman saga. That period of Batman And Robin and The Return Of Bruce Wayne leading into Batman Inc might have been my most enjoyable period of reading monthly comics.

I dropped out of AEW after Punk left, I stuck around for a few weeks but it didn't fill me with a lot of joy. However, I've been really keen to get back into it, so I may end up picking up All In.

One of my strongest beliefs is if they actually put this on Broadway it would absolutely destroy at the award shows and run for 20 years

IT’S FUCKING CHESS

What POSSIBLE advantage, even in the warped mind of a transphobe, could being transgender give you at chess? They’re so nakedly hateful they just can’t stand any trans person winning anything ever. Pathetic.

Since it's apparently the topic du jour...

Rebooting Doctor Who is a fucking stupid idea that would mark the end of everything that's actually interesting about the show.

I finally completed the first draft of my maths RPG. I'm very pleased with myself, naturally.

I appreciate that in the grand scheme of things that are awful about her, this is not hugely important, but Christ JK Rowling's crime novels are some of the worst I've ever seen in the genre.

Trans children are ‘white and well-to-do’

I think I've enjoyed this season of Doctor Who as much as I disliked last season.

Big fan of the vibe of season one of TOS. Kirk and the gang travelling from planet to planet that wants to kill them. Great stuff all round.

This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

Remarkable that a 88-year-old man might suddenly die.
