Interested in finance, economics, politics, philosophy, literature and childish humour.
- Started rewatching The Wire for the 4th time. What is stunning is the entire thing, every series, character, situation and theme is there in the first 5 minute scene. How are you defined? What role do you play in this system? Can you change that? Is it fair? Is this the American dream?
- Partner: ‘ This is pickled cucumber.’ Son: ‘Yes, I remember. It’s like cucumber. But worse.’
- Sunday afternoon. ‘Where Eagles Dare’ on BBC. Burton and Eastwood kill Nazis and Nazi collaborators. It’s like a childhood weekend afternoon from 1975. The kids will be watching similar things in 2045. Hopefully.
- Radio4 PM feels the need to get a ‘forensic image expert’ to describe the ICE shooting video. “Is it raining? We are too frightened to say. So we asked someone else to look out the window.”
- Reposted by Simon WatkinsI call on my party and my government to remove themselves entirely from X and communicate with the public where they actually participate online and can be protected from such illegality.
