Totally random/trivial in the world gone mad we’re living in, but the audio mix on the Top Gun Maverick 4K Blu-ray is gorgeous!
I don’t have the best sound system in the world, and also tend to watch things wearing headphones (studio quality) so I don’t disturb others in the house, but it’s great!

No, Darren Aronofsky didn’t make a Revolutionary War series with AI.
A computer made it.
He wasn’t an artist with this. The computer did computations of what a Revolutionary War series would look like.
There’s no heart, on the spot decision making, problem solving, ingenuity or creativity.

Thank you, Gary Aronofsky, for modding Thomas Paine into Red Dead Redemption 2. And thanks for making me realise that one of the things I take for granted about film is the simple delight of Watching A Person Do Something. Animators devote their lives to capturing **exactly** what this lacks.
You don't have the be an avowed AI hater to be impressed without lifeless and unwatchable this is.

I’ve said this too many times during his two stints as President, but, if 1. The contents of the new release of the Epstein File are true and 2. things were normal, this would be the end for Trump and he’d be in prison.
Horrific details.
He has got to go.

We’re living in a generation of rage‑media-division sells.
I can be offended by Jan 26 & still love my country.
I’m tired of Aboriginal ppl being painted as enemies of the country for exercising our right to protest.
This narrative doesn’t just divide us; it normalises hate towards us.

The Government’s invitation for President Herzog to visit must be rescinded - it will cause immense distress to many who have lost relatives in Gaza. This is a time to build social cohesion not blow it out of the water ! 💦

Heavy week.
As ways, with Invasion Day.
This god awful week long heatwave (every day reaching 40+ degrees C).
The bombing attempt.
The lacklustre response from officials.
The bigots trolling, saying they wish it had gone off.
Looking forward to the weekend, especially the forecast cool change.
