It's December 1st - which means I get to share weird and wonderful Victorian Christmas cards, starting with one that looks straight out of #StarWars. @markhamillofficial.bsky.social, is that you?

I don't use the word lightly, but this is really just evil isn't it. "Your identity makes us uncomfortable so be gone from public spaces." Fuck off.
I mean come on: we'll ask but reserve right to exclude you on the basis of how you look. Oh, and if you try to use your birth sex specific facilities we'll kick you out of those as well.

Get fucked.

Mood.

I was asked in 2019 What I would say to Mohammed Bin Salman.

I said it then and I’ll say it again— I hope the spirit of Jamal Khashoggi haunts MBS for the rest of his life.

Hi I'm on The Bugle today trying to make joke-sense out of whatever the heck is going on in the world lately.

A reminder that seven years ago almost to the day, the CIA determined that Mohammed Bin Salman ordered the killing of @washingtonpost.com journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

I hired and worked with Jamal for a year.

You cant parachute asylum seekers into deprived areas, in completely inappropriate housing, then say those migrants are 'dividing our country'. You divided the country because you can't organise a basic service and process claims in a timely way

It was a mistake for Labour to elect Starmer. Can't remember the alternatives were but he's equipped with none of the necessary skills to deal with our problems right now. He's a fork in a restaurant that only serves soup. Utterly hopeless

Watching Our of the Past. So much beauty, in the actors' faces & bodies as well as in the photography & staging (as in a fistfight that plays out partly in the shadows combatants cast on a wall). Very adult in its understanding of attraction and how one choice can trap you for life.

The New York Times quickly sending out Douthat to argue that Mamdani’s victory doesn’t really matter is so predictable it borders on self-parody.

Remember, folks: Every time the Right wins an election, it’s an undeniable expression of the will of the people. If a lefty wins, it’s just a blip.

Nice!!
Hey Belfast - tomorrow I will be conducting a Q&A with Ben Wheatley after the Irish premiere of his ramshackle, handmade, brain-twisting, zero-budget new movie BULK.
Ben may also have copies of the fanzine he created about BULK if you're lucky.

First time watch: Hobson's Choice. Absolutely wonderful. I only knew Brenda de Banzie as the villain in The Man Who Knew Too Much (one of my favorite Hitchcocks) and she is so, so different here- I'm smitten. Great dialogue, great characters, great performances. Most fun movie I've seen in a while.

A daycare. Every day in Chicago. The state is not stopping this. Pritzker’s and Johnson’s cops have ONLY been protecting these assaults so there is so far nothing that is stopping them besides unarmed residents screaming. How many children are technically orphans now @govpritzker.illinois.gov?

Put off watching it for years but fuck my old boots, The Innocents (Clayton, 1961) is INCREDIBLE

Script, casting, dialogue, pacing, sound, direction and CINEMATOGRAPHY are all perfect, making for what is one of the most chilling ghost films of them all
