I foresee a Kingdom Come Deliverance II day in my immediate future.

#MedievalEscapismVsThe21stCentury

Reckon if I could stay awake seven days in a row, I couldn't feel more tired than I do waking up this morning.

Same

Jean Michel Jarre advocates embracing AI in music and movies.

Sacre bleuch. It's never nice when your heroes disappoint you.

How's Starmer going is the new How's Brexit going 🙂

That'll be a decent icebreaker if his conversations with Trump start to falter.

The United States is imposing restrictions on the sharing of intelligence.

A commodity in shorter supply than oil.

Good job they switched from DEI to a full on meritocracy, huh

Especially from a PM who promised greater transparency and accountability from govt officials...

It's Tuesday. The ceasefire deadline is up.

I'm all out of Taco shells and only have Tortilla wraps. So I'm working hard on an alternative acronym.

So far I only have:

Trump Often Retreats Totally In Lily Livered Assholery.

Trump switching out McDonalds in favour of Big Kahuna Burgers.

In the wake of Pete Hegseth's PULP FICTION homage, I wonder if Trump was simply honouring RESERVOIR DOGS.

Rewriting a #PulpFiction chapter as THE DONNIE SITUATION.

Wherein a certain someone takes a bullet to the head, but there are no tiny bits of brain to pick up from the back of the car.

Trump said he's obviously supposed to be a doctor in that image of him as the Messiah.

To be fair, it did make me think, "ER..."

an elderly woman is sitting at a table in a restaurant and looking at the camera . ALT: an elderly woman is sitting at a table in a restaurant and looking at the camera .

I’ll have what Hungary’s having.

Trump posts image of himself as Jesus healing the sick.

But won't provide health care.

What's needed is a second image where Trump Messiah has his palm turned upwards in expectation of payment from the patient.

Never mind the Straits.

I've seen cats with more certainty about whether a door needs to be left open or not.

So, if I'm following this right, the US is now threatening to blockade the straits that were open before they launched their war, but then which Iran closed off, and the US then demanded help from allies to reopen them, but on the ceasefire Iran offered to reopen them with a toll

Happy birthday.

And, of course, at some point, please cover ULTRAVIOLET

A McDonald’s where the sign has been reduced to McDo.

There is no McTry.

I'd say DEADWOOD or MINDHUNTER, but to be honest in terms of what to cover next your line-up in the trailer for this year already looked boss

Obvs, the Fisk/Trump parallels are stark (non-Tony) in DAREDEVIL BORN AGAIN.

But a) Fisk is smart and calculating.

And b) can you IMAGINE Trump in a boxing match?

b) would be FUCKING HILARIOUS.

Not been out to the café since Tuesday.

Barista/Friend: "Hi Simon, how are you doing today?"

Me: "Survived a potential nuclear apocalypse, so all in all not too bad."

Haha, yeah, perfect

As Trump claims 'complete and total victory', all I can hear is him, Hegseth and the US administration shuffling offstage in an impromptu chorus line, a la Milligan's Q series, repeating, "What're we gonna do now? What're we gonna do now?..."

THEN: "The great thing about the USA is that anybody can grow up to become President."

NOW: "The terrible thing about the USA is that ANYBODY can grow up* to become President."

*Or, you know, not grow up

100% agreed.

With Artemis II set to splash down on Friday, the crew are earnestly hoping to return to a planet freshly taken over by apes.

If nothing else, my anxiety kept me up late last night playing KINGDOM COME DELIVERANCE II, so I've made significant progress in that world.

So much winning
