I can't believe, given the appetite for endless content they haven't just gone 'Fuck it, *Bond Multiverse*' and got on with it.

For instance, you can then *also* do a continuation of the post-Craig era with the five who were left toasting his departure. I'd watch the bejesus out of ten eps of that.

Grieving for the version of the internet where @iamdanw.bsky.social would give us daily ratings of Christmas fare.

If you forget your suit shoes for #newsnight, it turns out they make you do the interview in your PE Kit.

Helen and the kids went up to see her brother and his kids this week.

Our nephew, 2, kept running into the room shouting “Gary Buckets! Gary Buckets!”

It took them a while to work out he was saying ‘scary pumpkins’.

They will now forever be known as ‘Gary Buckets’ to us…

Happy #halloween

The #firstbrands debacle continues to make headlines. As I hinted at before, worth keeping an eye on with regards to its effects on the financing available to the #ai bubble.

Picked up James Ellroy’s American Tabloid for the first time in decades.

The intro at the front hits home some thirty years later…

The stretch of London between Victoria and Westminster now gives off proper Peripheral vibes.

“Yeah, that’s me, Ryan Gosling, acclaimed international film star, looking like Simon Le Bon in yet another comeback video for Duran Duran. You may be wondering how I got into this mess. Well, let me take you back…”

Queueing for this. Hoping the last second of the video is not some extra jealousy they’re throwing in. #rollercoaster

Might as well set up a massive Looney Tunes closing screen at the US Border… I’m not sure how a democracy comes back from here.

I think he says it doesn’t make to sense to have data centres on Earth, and we should build a Dyson sphere around the *solar system* instead.

I actually think that’s worse.

I mean, that’s a happy looking dawg.

Sunday cooking. Revisiting the #autumn #chilli recipe I came up with a decade ago (and that curiously remains the most viewed Medium post I ever wrote 🤷🏻‍♂️)

Venison and Pork Mince, some cooking chorizo, and a ruby ale or (today) plum porter in combo with beef stock.

“Hot or Not” chillies feels… unhelpful

I’ve always been suspicious of the urban legend of ‘the very very spicy’ padron pepper hiding in amongst the rest. Until last night. Reader, I drank every last drop of milk in the house.

Because Britain didn’t have enough to apologise for.
