This just came out on Disney+. So pleased we skipped it in the cinema.
A ★ review of The Mandalorian and Grogu (2026)
Soulless and pointless money grab. Would have made a decent TV series of six episodes. It’s so episodic, you can see the joins.

I understand the rationale behind these decisions but I wish politicians and brands like Apple would take a more principled stand sometimes. Apple has all the brand recognition in the world. It doesn’t need Twitter. Why pander to the Nazi? Imagine the boost if Ternus opted for Bluesky instead.

It’s a Bank Holiday Sunday afternoon so of course I had to watch a Bond movie…
A ★★★ review of The Living Daylights (1987)
First saw this as a teenager and didn’t think much of it. Kept wishing Roger Moore would turn up. Now of course it loos a lot better. Seems Dalton was playing the real Bond, a trick Craig would later ...

Another interesting piece from @jemima.bsky.social. She ends by touching on what I think will be the big theme of the next 12 months: the backlash against AI. “The more AI encroaches on our lives, the more I feel myself wanting to return to doing more effortful things.” Marketers, take note.
Summer might be ending, but we can hold on to some of its magic
It offers not the opportunity to do nothing but to have the time to do things slowly

I’m a huge Rebecca Ferguson fan (Still sure she could have saved MI: Final Reckoning.) Currently watching season 3 of Silo. It’s morphed into two shows in one. And I’m sorry to say that the show set in the past is far more interesting and well written than the show in the future with Rebecca.

Claude just got wired straight into @salesforce.com's CRM, and regulators told the @bankofengland.bsky.social to go easier on digital currencies. AI had a big day. In #InMarketingToday, we sort the signal from the small print.
AI is arriving everywhere, and no one is explaining what it promises — InMarketing Today
Regulators are clearing the runway for AI-driven finance, platforms are wiring AI into the tools staff use daily, and customers already lean on it for decisions that matter, often without

I’m told it’s #NationalBurgerDay. That’s all the excuse I needed to take myself down to Fulham Pier for a smash burger while admiring the river (not the @fulhamfc.com pitch.)

I’m on board for this. The first two prequels Scott made were flawed but full of promise. I’d turn up to see him finish the trilogy.

Good move, @bsky.app. But please pick up the pace with product development. This platform still feels under-featured and glacially slow to iterate.

🗞️ What’s new Apple has begun rolling out ads in Apple Maps in the US and Canada — in suggested places before a search and in results after one. Apple says it’s privacy-first: no personalised targeting, no data tied to your Apple Account. (via 9to5Mac)

No one knows how much Apple is going to charge for this thing but most expect it to be $2,000+. I’m a geek. I’m first in line for new tech, especially new tech from Apple and yet… Inferior camera system, no FaceID, no MagSafe. That’s a tough sell even to me.

A rare faux pas from Apple. I hope they see sense and backtrack on this. It harms their reputation for privacy and cheapens their product.
