8 years apart The Gower still has the same magic

E moves into supported living full time today His brother is (hopefully) off to Uni in September Whilst both will come back to visit, it’s just occurred to me that there’s a reasonable chance I’ve just had the last night with all of my kids under the same roof

My kids have been binge watching all the Marvel movies before we go to see Spider-Man later. Inevitably there’s been a lot of debate about which film is the best so I made them this little widget to decide once and for all: marvelrank.lovable.app

The genuine nerd question about Covid lockdowns is what could be changed out the policy process so that it would have come to a different outcome. Otherwise it’s just a case of saying ‘now, with perfect hindsight, I’d prefer elected folks had decided something different’. Which is fine, but also 🤷‍♀️

My entire life I’ve never called it the FIFA World Cup. I’ve always called it the World Cup. Fans don’t give a shit about FIFA. If national teams showed up for a World Cup tournament not held by FIFA we would all watch it. World Cup is the brand. FIFA is nothing.

A ★★★★½ review of Spider-Man: Brand New Day (2026)

I thought this was pretty fantastic  It was great to see it live in the emotional consequences of the actions of these characters and that it resolved itself in a way that was different to the normal ...

This statement by UEFA on FIFA attempting to sell off the World Cup gave me goosebumps, what a statement - the beautiful game deserves no less “As so long as Europe has a voice, it will never be for sale.”

A ★★ review of Masters of the Universe (2026)

This so wanted to be a campy Flash Gordon style romp but took itself far too seriously and was way too long Moments where it worked but weirdly uneven

I am no economist but one of the weirdest things about this stage of capitalism is how jobs don't pay enough to live on so we top them up with benefits, meaning tax payers subsidise profits for the already richest in society.

You’re absolutely right. We should not have so many people on SNAP. Because jobs should pay enough FOR PEOPLE TO EAT.

All these journalists just sitting there while Trump goes after one of their own. Spineless cowards. Complete dereliction of your professional responsibility.

I used to be a big gamer Then I had kids As 2 out of 3 kids leave home in the next month, now seems like a good time to see if that PS3 can do more than just look a little sad in the corner of the room

These are increasingly the thoughts I run through when planning a lesson I’m not entirely convinced that all screen time is bad screen time But I do think that it being the default for every lesson makes us lazier as teachers and puts a cap on the learning experience of the children
