Came across an ad for a daily planner designed for ADHD people. Thought “that looks like it could be useful” and went to the App store to check it out. Turns out I’ve already downloaded it and it’s been on my phone, untouched, for like a year… Me:

Saw #Wildwood on opening night. It’s the film of the year by a country mile. Visually stunning, well-written, animated and performed with heart, humour and maturity, also surprisingly brutal in some parts. A hand-crafted work of art that *needs* to be seen on the biggest screen you can find.

Man, that BioWare news really stings. There was a time when they were absolutely my favourite game studio, any game they put out would be a day one purchase for me. It’s been kind of heartbreaking watching EA run it into the ground over the last few years.

Not only was Christopher Lee the only member of the LOTR cast who actually met Tolkien, he was also the only member of the Gormenghast cast who had met (and was friends with) Mervyn Peake.

We all know the "Viggo broke his toe" story but what's another movie fact you're personally compelled to bring up every time without prompting? For me, it's the fact that Robin Tunney is wearing a wig in The Craft because of having just shaved her head to save her job filming Empire Records.

Conservatives a year ago: “yes, it’s absolutely right to be suspicious of black pilots, because of DEI how are we supposed to know that guy is even qualified to fly a plane?” Conservatives this week: “Woo-hoo!!! Daddy Elon is going to sell everybody a flying car!!!”

I’m just reminded of a cartoon from many, many years ago where an artist and writer are at a comic con panel and the writer is smugly boasting about he “can write massive, epic battle scenes without worrying about budgets” Then the artist lunges at him, screaming “I’ll kill you!!!”

Famously out-of-touch writer states "If I write a scene with three guys running over a hill, and I write a thousand guys coming over the hill, in comics that costs the same amount." Bullshit. The cost is your art team's time. Respect your collaborators. Comics is not free labor.

No, and that’s what made him interesting before TROS walked it back. Redemption is a waltz that requires both parties (even if one half tries to fight it), and building a trilogy around a sympathetic character who doesn’t want to be redeemed could have been an interesting (and important) theme.

Could you have redeemed Kylo Ren without brining Palpatine back and if so how ? #StarWars #TROS #Palpatine #KyloRen #BenSolo

Am I being an old fuddy-duddy alarmist for thinking all this AI-promised personalised story-telling where *you* get to always be the main character is going to seriously screw up a lot of kids’ emotional development?

Just had conversation with a dad who “made a storybook” for his kids (featuring his kids as superheroes) using AI, which they loved. In about 5 minutes. I wrote “how to find a rainbow“ for my kids and it took me months and the help of a brilliant artist to bring it to life. Feeling pretty dumb.

Last week I joked with a friend about how fun it would be to write a non-canon Eastenders Halloween special where Albert Square is caught up in some kind of lovecraftean apocalypse. And now it’s like the only thing I can think about… I think I need to try and make this happen now 😳

Huh… so… I booted up AppleTV+ and found that stuff like all the MCU Spider-Man movies, Catch Me if You Can, Godzilla, and Jurassic Park are all available to steam on there and I’m, like… when did this happen? Anyway, I’m watching Spielberg’s War of the Worlds on there now because… why not?🤷

Happy #DayofDredd to all who celebrate it! Here’s some of my Dreddful art from yesteryear 🥳 @2000ad.bsky.social

Holy heck that Resident Evil movie is pretty darn good.👍

Apple computers are like golden retrievers. They’re expensive but fun, pretty to look at, and will bring you your slippers at the end of a long day. Then one day, after about 10 years of loyal service, they’ll just randomly throw up all over the kitchen floor and die in front of you.

Every time I see Ed Sheeran, I get this feeling that he was used to be a turnip that one starry night wished *really* hard to be a real boy…

Happy #StarTrekDay everybody!

Kinda cool to see the poster art you made for your local drama group showing up around town…

Just so we’re clear here… Just Stop Oil protestors get violently dragged off the street and blokes in white vans gleefully threaten to run them over. Palestinian Action get labelled a terrorist group so 80 year old grannies can be manhandled into the back of a police van. But this is fine…👇

The elevator in my building has been broken for the last three weeks, meaning my disabled lodger has been unable to get into the flat in all that time. And despite emailing them twice and calling 5 times, I’ve had basically nothing but radio silence from the building managers.

After scanning through the headlines on IGN last night l, it only just hit me how little actual interest I have in GTA6 right now compared to the last game. I mean, I’d *like* to play it, I’m not turning my nose up at it or anything, but I have absolutely zero hype for it right now.

I’ve always maintained that if there were any actor in living memory who *should* have played Falstaff, but tragically never did, it was Tim Curry. RIP to the legend

Actor Tim Curry has died at 80, TMZ reports

So all through my school life I was told I was lazy and stupid - despite *all* the evidence to the contrary - and a lot of teachers wrote me off. It wasn’t until literally the day before my first written A-level that I was told I might have qualified for extra time. (1/)

Funny innit? The risk of misdiagnosing a single neurotypical person is worth dragging each and every ND person back to the 90s where they were 'difficult,' 'thick' or 'disruptive'

Just saw on my weather app that it was drizzling outside and, I swear to god, I just ran to look out the window like a kid checking to see if it had snowed on Christmas morning…

My niece and nephew in 30 years time: “Uncle Kieran, what was it that radicalised you so much?” Me: “Thames Water, and here’s exhibit #2581 from my dossier explaining why…”

Just finished the first draft of a play I’ve been outlining/writing over the last few months. Now stuck in that limbo of the “do I stick it in a drawer and come back to it a week later or start draft two immediately?” dilemma…

“Okay, so I submitted our employment report for our Year 2s, so far half of them want to be race car drivers when they grow up , the other half want to be astronauts, and one of them wants to be the Honey Monster… the government can make of that what they will, I guess…”

I’ve been reading Gogmagog recently, and I’d sincerely recommend it to anybody. It’s like if Mervyn Peake had written Hearts of Darkness. And I’m not ashamed to admit that the only reason why I bought it was because of Mr McQue’s cover art 😅

Episode 1 of the West Wing; Josh has to apologise to some right wing evangelicals for a glib remark he made on TV The first thing they say after his apology: “what do we get?” before demanding prayers in schools and other infringements on the 1st amendment Don’t know why that came to mind just now

This is why you dont try to compromise or concede anything to these horrors

Well, I finally got around to seeing Supergirl. It’s fine. A little undercooked, but fine. It was entertaining enough, didn’t overstay its welcome, Milly Alcock was good in the role. Kind of feel like all that talk of it being a harbinger of doom for DC Studios has been a bit hyperbolic, tbh.
