I support Ukraine and Israel.

On politics, I am on the centre, I pick and choose; so, if you like tribalism and culture wars, I'll bore you to tears.

Also posting about cinema. Especially off-Hollywood.

Judging by the amount of ads I see online about them, AI courses are the new Shein.

I finally got into watching Fauda (after everyone else) and it's brilliant.

One minor criticism: someone dies every five minutes. It has a body count like Eastenders.

As a long time front-end developer - occasionally full stack -, I am having an identity crisis.

It was just last year, when I could spend hours poring over a complex chain of Observables for a financial application.

With the advent of generative AI, does this still make sense?

jewoughtaknow.com/the-podcast The episodes about the Israel / Gaza war, read from a progressive but unflinchingly Zionist perspective, are among the very best analysis of this issue I have ever encountered.

For those who don't know, this is Andrea Cisternino, an Italian photographer. He lives in Ukraine. He stayed with his 400 rescue dogs and said he would rather die with them than leave them. He continues to help these homeless dogs. An incredibly brave man. Heroyam Slava! 🙏💙💛

I was a Leftie for most of my life, but the Left moved --mostly downwards, towards the authoritarian pole, so I am hanging there, clinging to the Centre like to a rescue raft. 🤷‍♀️

Earlier in Hyde Park I saw a guy defiantly going around with a kippah on his head. I wanted to manifest my approval, but couldn't think of a non-creepy way to do so, so I didn't.

But I am more and more convinced that the struggle against antisemitism also needs this kind of small symbolic acts.

Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency sounds a lot like Cummings' think tank during Boris Johnson's reign. And we know how that ended... 😅

To get a project of a fiction approved by the #BFI, it must have at least one protagonist from an underrepresented category.

What do you think? Progressive or coercive? I am genuinely on the fence.

Happiness is being able to go to the movies on a Monday afternoon. And a giant bucket of popcorn.

The beautifully neglected villa where Rohmer's La collectionneuse was filmed, Mas de Chastelas, is now a 5-star hotel. O tempora, o mores.

Controversial opinion on #cinema #1:

In my ideal cinema world, Christopher Nolan, Johanna Hogg, and Damien Chazelle would operate the concession stand of the popcorn. With occasional help from the ghost of Godard.

How do I start to interact here?

My politics aren't binary: I am on the centre-right on economy, on the far left on social issues, I support Israel and Ukraine. In short, I end arguing with everybody.

I like cinema but I am picky af, so more arguing ensues.

I really love cats tho!
