Gary Bainbridge (@garybainbridge.bsky.social) joins me for a chat about Captain America: Brave New World. It's got unsubtle satire, a plot callback to a box office bomb and one very inconsistent character, and we enjoyed it but aren't sure *why*...

So today makes the 7 year anniversary of the passing of my dear friend Simon, known to many of you on the fash site as simonnricketts. I miss him dearly but these days I mostly remember him with a smile and a chuckle, the big stupid idiot.

Got an appointment from the hospital. At the top of the first page is my name, address, NHS number and patient number. The first two pages of the letter tell me where and when and remind me that I should bring my hearing aids/walking stick/whatever other helps I might need. The usual stuff. (1/4)
