My main issue with the arc of recent Bond movies was he threw everything away for Léa Seydoux who he had zero onscreen chemistry with. I wasn't convinced. Yet the screen positively crackled in the scenes betwen Craig and Monica Bellucci. She could have been core to the story, but was wasted.

My brief review of the Xiaomi 15T Pro. Fantastic flagship level hardware. Great cameras. Super performance. Very bright high resolution screen. But the Hyper OS skin just isn't good enough. And I also ran into some bugs using third party browsers. Real shame, super hardware deserves better.

I decided I couldn't live with the foibles of the new Xiaomi phone. So I'm sending it back today. So the search for a new phone continues.

Have decided to return my new phone. Xiaomi's Hyper OS just feels so janky compared to my OnePlus phone.

It's insane that the BBC execs would resign over something like that. Whatever the merits of the edit Trump was directly involved in an armed coup.

So far very impressed with the hardware of my new Xiaomi phone. The cameras and screen are excellent. Hyper OS is complete gash though.

So I've finally bought a new phone. And the hardware is fantastic. But the launcher/UI is not great and is going to take some getting used to.

At least three killers standing there. One of them a warmonger. One who waged war on the poor. And the other who let a fatal disease run riot while he partied.

They should only let them stand there based on some pro-rata of their tenure. So Liz Truss has to bugger off after five minutes.
Absolute state of Truss and Johnson. Good God.
Yep all in date order as well

Was slightly confused by the AI Coke Advert reporting, the company producing the slop being Secret Level. But was mixing up Tim Miller's brilliant Blue Studios that made the Secret Level show, with these hacks making slop for Coke.

"War Christmas" brilliantly sums it up.
It’s too late baby, now it’s too late. When I was a kid, it was a sombre and dignified reflection on us getting hundreds of thousands of guys killed in an insane war. Now, the Sensible Moderates have turned it into War Christmas to boost their crackpot politics, and there’s no going back.

If you see this, post an album cover with a motor vehicle on it.
Iron Maiden's A Matter of Life and Death is not the band's best album. But in my view it's their most serious artistic statement, a collection of songs tied together by a theme and perfectly executed. Powerful dramatic music.

NowPlaying Omnium Gatherum's new album May the Bridges We Burn Light the Way. New World Shadows is one of my favourite albums and I read this new release has a similar vibe. I've enjoyed every OG album though. Great band.

Can we not do all the tiresome news reporting about celebrity traitors as though these people were literal traitors and people might think they are bad in the real world. It's a fecking game show. It's finished. Shut up about it.

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”
