Adulthood is when people start asking you what you want for your birthday and all you really want right now is a new cutting board.

Cillian Murphy was at his parents’ home when his phone started buzzing with texts. For the first time, he had been nominated for the best actor Oscar, for his performance in “Oppenheimer.” We spoke with him about the nomination. nyti.ms/429ZtA9
Cillian Murphy wearing a suit and has his hand to his mouth. A quote he told The New York Times after learning he'd been nominated for the best actor Oscar for his role in “Oppenheimer” reads: “It’s very, very humbling. I’m kind of a little in shock.” Photo by Robbie Lawrence for The New York Times.

Finally got around to watching Don’t Look Up.

A little long but a solid movie and satire. 7/10

The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle by Stuart Turton.

Increasingly brain-knotting in a "what if Claire North wrote an Agatha Christie novel?" sort of a way.

Smart idea, well-written, looking forward to seeing how well it plays out...

According to Japanese folklore, the Bake-kujira is a ghost-whale that "takes its revenge against people who hunt whales or eat whale meat, and does so by cursing them with plagues and fire". Plagues AND fire! Not messing around!
