I don’t know which men need to hear this but: women don’t owe you or me anything.
After the pilot (Children of the Gods), which is an excellent sequel to the original film, the first few episodes of this season are ROUGH 😂
Still love the show, but it definitely had growing pains in the start.

Give me some of that delightful over-the-top, mid-90s, not-at-all subtle in its allegories, TV budget, campy sci-fi, delivered with charm and wonderful characters.
With the added cheat code of music cues from David Arnold’s spectacular score for the film.

Marjorie Taylor Greene went from being chummy with Trump to not serving out her full term. Could Zohran Mamdani be next?

I mean, it’s got a bigger target audience.
The ticket pre-sales for ‘ZOOTOPIA 2’ have surpassed ‘AVATAR: THE WAY OF WATER’ in China.
The film is tracking to earn $200M+ in its opening weekend in the country.

Even leftists be like: governments aren't doing enough to combat climate change and protect the environment. Anyway, here's my latest AI generated meme - just ignore all the water and energy needed to keep the data centre running.

Beautiful scene.

I love that, even during the climax of the action in one of the most epic #DoctorWho episodes, which was shown in cinemas across the globe, there’s a shot of two of Matt Smith’s script on the TARDIS console.
(Sorry for pointing it out, Matt! Love you!)

Time to mark the 62nd Doctor Who anniversary with a special episode that turns 12 today.
Probably still my favourite episode, it’s just so well done. Equal parts reverential and dramatic - John Hurt portrays the tragedy of The War Doctor, and the relief at the end of - so well.
Just wonderful.

We were out taking our dogs out for a walk earlier and a girl (maybe early teen) fell off her bicycle as she was riding past us.
We stopped and checked if she was alright, lifted the bike up and let her gather herself and she left again.

Wicked isn’t for me.
But what is for me is seeing people having a good time, and the large crowd of people I’ve just seen leave the cinema all had Wicked shirts, popcorn buckets, or memorabilia of some sort, and great big smiles on their faces.

The only reasonable and acceptable peace plan for Ukraine is Russia’s complete withdrawal and being forced to pay for most of the required repairs for years to come.
They’re the aggressor, breaking international laws in doing so.

Donald Trump is calling for the hanging of his political opponents.
He’s taking the confirmation that he’s a lame duck and losing influence over his own party badly and he’s becoming desperate.

Just a classic.
Especially David Arnold’s score, that music is the music of my childhood, especially because a lot of the themes are returned in SG-1 and I watched that for YEARS.

With today’s news, it feels appropriate to chuck this on this evening.
I might even rewatch the shows between now and the new show’s release.
