I'm not a keen follower of the Epstein case. Maybe this is something everyone knows.

But I'm shocked and revolted by the male academics who one after another raped trafficked children. My god I hope you are all found and punished.

Solidarity with the survivors.

Insomnia is absolutely kicking me to hell and back today. I am going to retire to the sofa with some Diane Keaton if I can only decide what to watch.

Today is the 63rd anniversary of the London premiere of Dr. No, which means (well, obviously) it’s time to tell you a ridiculous shaggy dog story about the theft of not one but two portraits of the Duke of Wellington

Sean Connery in Dr No’s lair, about to go up a short flight of stairs when he spots a portrait of the Duke of Wellington on a stand. The original had been stolen from the National Gallery the previous year, and this was a joke by the Bond production team

Glasgow Gender Clinic now has a waiting time of 224 years. The average across the UK is now 25 years.

This segregated system isn’t working and is wasting millions. The NHS has been told time and again - informed consent now.

This amazing article from @vic-parsons.bsky.social via @wearequeeraf.com shows the absolute criminal state of trans healthcare in the UK.

Scotland has a 224 year wait for a first appointment. Yes, you read that right.

Finally at #BOARC for a few focussed days writing - been a lot going on recently and the need for some time pushing back the tides of admin and work and recovery from the recent day job - and just thinking of the writing. Also Bidston Observatory is all it promised to be!

That's all from Wikipedia but in addition - his wife played the opera singer in 5th Element.... while he was getting involved with Jovovich

Their marriage ended in 1997, when Besson became involved with actress Milla Jovovich, then 19, during the production of The Fifth Element'

Sarah Wishart @sarahwishart.bsky.social · Aug 21

Le Besco later claimed that their relationship inspired Besson's film Léon (1994), where the plot involved the emotional relationship between an adult man and a 12-year-old girl.

Sarah Wishart @sarahwishart.bsky.social · Aug 21

'Besson's second wife was actress and director Maïwenn Le Besco, whom he started dating when he was 32 and she was 15 after having met 3 years earlier. They married in late 1992 when Le Besco, 16, was pregnant with their daughter.'
