Sometimes I make a noise. Sometimes I like it enough to share. *sometimes* caned.bandcamp.com/track/reformat

Start of something?

#Phony #TV has me hooked after the 2nd episode. I'm finding the kids a bit irritating 'cos I'm an old fart, but the central premise has me intrigued.

I'm all for lessons being learnt out of the #Covid #Enquiry, but how about some lessons get taught too, #Hancock, #Gove, and #Johnson spring to mind. Politicians need to realise that they will be held responsible for their actions and lies. Won't fucking happen though will it.

Season 2 of #TheLowdown #TV is off to a cracking start. Adding Betty Gilpin and Tommy Lee Jones can only be a good thing, so fingers crossed for the rest of the season.

Binged #CrystalLake and then the loooong #CrystalLakeMemories history of Friday 13th and enjoyed both.

Your next White House press secretary

#SlowHorses just seems to be a whole bunch of action sequences with a bit of spy stuff tagged on. Only one episode left to do the big reveal. A real drop off in quality.

The latest #Starlink news is an extreme example of the 'terms and conditions may change' risks of services you don't own. Sovereign states should not rely on 3rd party suppliers with dodgy morals. I can see F-16 weapon systems and patriot missiles shutting down in the near future.

Today's #movie is another creature feature. #DontMove Giant spider on the rampage, yes please.

So, #Hope was a fun ride with a heck of an ending. Definitely some kind of prequel/sequel/both needed to sort it all out. Good, silly stuff, though.

Today's #movie is #Hope, a Korean creature feature. High hopes (intended) for this one.

Over the last 2 days, I've watched #Fall2 and #TeenageSexAndDeathAtCampMiasma and enjoyed both. Fall2 had more than enough moments to make me very twitchy (I hate heights) indeed, but not quite as many as the original. Teenage sex blah blah blah I just let wash over me and I enjoyed its playfullness

If the Tories build 50,000 prison spaces and then fill them at £50k per prisoner per year, then that's £2.5bn they need to find. Plus, the one-off cost of building the prisons. Magic money tree, efficiency savings, or welfare cuts?

If #ManCity are willing to drag their case through the courts to avoid possible expulsion, then maybe the other clubs form a new league and don't invite them. "Sorry lads, it's no Manchsters, and we already have United."

Really enjoyed #StewartLee tonight.

Off to see Stewart Lee tonight.

Just watched #ResidentEvil #Horror #Movie and enjoyed it. It rattles along has decent humour and some nice monsters. My kind of an ending too. 7.5/10

variety.com/2026/tv/glob... Will this be a part of the #ClothVerse? @charliebrooker.bsky.social

Why don't the #LibDems or maybe a new party, run on a three step manifesto. 1. They will introduce proportional representation 2. They will they then dissolve government 3. They will fight the new election on a rejoin the EU basis. Call the country's bluff. See if they really want these things.

#Trump has a gas problem. This is a headline that means something completely different to the US and here in the UK, but it rings absolutely true which ever country you are in.

So #KingCharles wasn't heartbroken and maybe even happy that his ex-wife died? So fucking what. Who made #Spencer the boss of anyone's grief other than his own.

Having just listened to my first ever #Macklemore track, I can honestly say thank you to anyone who tries to silence him. I'm old, BTW.

Tonight's #Movie is #BuffetInfinity Not really sure what to expect from this.

Is #Trump blackmailing the #GOP #Republicans because they ARE in the #Epstein files, or is he blackmailing because they are not in the files but accepted his bribes to stay quiet about knowing he IS in them?

Hidden away in an attic room of the Whitehouse, there is a picture of #DonaldTrump that is getting more and more handsome.

HUTH and NLAG to end their partnership. Lots of shiny new management posts in the offing as those merged jobs suddenly need 2 people again? Fucking joke. www.healthcare-management.uk/breaking-new...

Today's move was #SpiderIsland Not the best spider movie ever ( when is #Crawlers coming out?) Iffy effects. 5/10

Tonight's film WAS #Buddy A decent effort #Horror, definitely a mind-messer rather than a stomach-churner, but fun for it. There seemed to be a lot of lore packed in towards the end, so a sequel/prequel could be interesting. Or we could fill in the gaps ourselves, which can be fun. 7.5/10

Tonight's movie is #Buddy Hopefully a nice dose of the creeps with some gratuitous OTT gore. A better story than #IceCreamMan wouldn't go amiss either. #Horror #Movie #Film

Just watched #TheWeight #Movie and it was just about OK. A little lacking in absolute peril and a little lacking in absolute evil. 6/10

The man in the shop said the soles were crepe, but I think they're pretty good.

Aww, #CoyoteVsAcme wasn't as good as I'd hoped. It just didn't paint a coherent cartoon/human world and had too many characters in poorly cast or wasted roles. It had the odd good gag (I sthought I thaw), but was only slightly better than #ToxicAvenger which went through similar tribulations. 5/10

So, there was a guy on #Pointless, and he said his job was a computer programmer. The host then asked him what he liked to do in his spare time, and he said .... Astronomy. I don't think he was a computer programmer at all or his answer would have been ... Program computers.

Watching a #HammerHorror documentary tonight #Horror

Just watched #PureScum. A couple of not very nice aussie boys make many bad decisions over the course of an evening. 7/10

Awake too early, so having a real blast from the past #GirlsAtOurBest #Pleasure. It's surprisingly good. youtu.be/NudQRuvWV-g?... Ripped to disc from vinyl years ago using the ION USB turntable.

Just watched #TheEndOfOakStreet It's got dinosaurs, so I'm gonna watch it. Zips along and is sweet, but with some nastyish events. 6/10 Now, if someone can make a Threads/Dinopocalypse mash-up please.

I'm no political scholar and definitely not a US one, but if you wanted to destroy the USA, how many people would you have to buy off? Seems that ~500 would get you a President and the other democratic institutions required. Could you do it for $100bn? It does feel like someone is trying.

Just bought a retro sega megadrive box with Sensible Soccer, Mega-lo-mania, and cannon fodder installed. Graphics are very limited, but sensi soccer is as playable as it always was.
