Plums. On a plate (reflective!). With two cherries, because that's how Jacob van Hulsdonck liked it.

Had to look this one up, but it was worth the effort. (You may have to scroll down a bit, as I did.)

My daughter is watching Cruella, or as I like to call it, 'The Devil Wears Madra'.

You really have to take a moment and think about how insane this is. That’s a quarter of the entire output of the country’s public infrastructure going to support about one hundred sites.

“Data centres accounted for almost one quarter of the electricity consumed in Ireland last year, up from 5% in 2015, the CSO said today. A total of 7,663 gigawatt-hours of electricity was used by data centres in 2025, up 10% from 6,973GWh in 2024.” www.irishtimes.com/business/202...

Years ago I coined the milleneuve, which is a unit to measure how horrible the sky color is based on Villeneuve films. Blade Runner 2049 is around 900mn. Today is around 250 I'd say. (It's a very scientific scale.)

I went to see Dennis Hopper speak at the IFI in Dublin when he was here making Space Truckers, maybe 1995? Someone asked him about his photography, he replied 'The only photo on the wall of my house is one of me in bed with John Huston & John Ford.' Then he went on to explain how it happened.

i don't like to police genre, but it's not dark academia unless somebody gets squished in one of these bad boys

Food, man. Food is so much better than it was in 1986. All of it. Poor-people food, restaurant food, fresh food, frozen food. Food is just a hell of a lot better.

Here’s the latest stop motion animation from my Tiny Angry Witch team. (I’m the writer, I can’t take credit for the animating!) It’s one of our longest, and it nearly drove us all mad, but we’re really proud of getting it made! 1 x Tiny Angry Witch 1 x broom No AI

Learning the piano in the mornings & about ADOLF HITLER in the afternoons. Probably should have gone to the Algarve because there is no topless here.

I have been looking at ironing boards because the asbestos of mine disintegrated & the new iron-stand I bought is not satisfactory so if the one you mentioned has a sensible place to put the iron I would be interested in buying it.

I had a great time at Death Note The Musical at the Barbican last night ... www.barbican.org.uk/whats-on/202...

If you had the power over life and death, what would you do?

oh dear this Peter Straub novel is not doing it for me: blah characters & setting, duff attempts at youth-speak & structure that keeps circling back to same events from different PoVs but without adding anything much, so it's tediously repetitive. Just over halfway through; might throw in the towel.

Maguire’s Spider-Man 3 by far my fave of the Raimi trilogy. Just for the agent of change and the effects of it.

Daily Brad Dourif character! 12. Hazel Motes in John Huston’s film of Flannery O’Connor’s Wise Blood. Amazing book, amazing film, amazing performance. “The church of Christ without Christ. Where the blind can’t see, the lame can’t walk, and the dead stay that way.”

‘The scores for both 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘔𝘢𝘯 and 𝘝𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘨𝘰 are the work of a composer who recognises that his task is to seek out the essence of the material on screen and to express that rather than himself.’ @jonathancoe.bsky.social on Hitchcock’s composer Bernard Herrmann. www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Last night I watched Lucio Fulci's Don't Torture A Duckling. Despite (or because of) its limitations, it has that unique sense of "European uncanny". Fun twists, practical gore, and a streak of perversion that runs through it like the highway that sits above the landscape on vast concrete pillars.
