Rewatched @dantrachtenberg.bsky.social's brilliant Prey.
It's better than either of the original Predator Films, and I'm really looking forward to Badlands.
Going to have to rewatch Killer of Killers now...

Just finished the first of the @chuckwendig.bsky.social Star Wars Trilogy "Aftermath" - never really read much Star Wars stuff in print but this is a lot of fun. Important messages tucked away in there too!

Reacquired a book I'd lent out and opened it randomly to a page yesterday...
I'd already contemplated booking today off at short notice but this sealed the deal!
