Your Party conference captions seem designed to activate a sleeper assassin.
Captions: "Dogs - Put down the Queen’s tail - Antique, real jump - Ridiculous - Join their laughter - The brothers are legal now."
Winter Soldier: "Ready to comply."

I have definitely known some real life people with unconvincing motivations and dialogue.
Anyway even a real life person isn't a fully coherent being.

There are some podcasts that really deserve support by way of a donation, if you can. I'm listening to season 1 of Alex Andreou's Podyssey again (directors cuts! bonus episodes!!) and the second listen may well not be the last.

An old-school sitcom. In a quiet suburban street, a couple are shocked to discover that a family of Daleks has moved in next door.
"GOOD MORNING," one of them says, as it trundles off for its morning commute. "LOVELY DAY."
'Exterminate Thy Neighbour,' Wednesdays at 7.00 pm.

Genuinely amazing that Joseph Conrad wrote Heart of Darkness in his _third_ language, which he didn't even learn until his 20s.
... But damn it all, Joseph, you learned everything else about the English language except how much easier text is to read when you break it up into paragraphs.

Being told, of an early short story, that my writing reminded someone of Ray Bradbury.
And being told, after playing Lilith's Blues at a gig, that my guitar playing reminded someone of Marc Ribot.

If you were a despotic president, what movie would you force Hollywood to make? I want to see Quentin's Star Trek movie or maybe Kill Bill Vol 3.

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

And like _that_, Charlie Brown - he's gone.
I’m just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her, Charlie Brown.
My name is Maximus Decimus Meridius, commander of the Armies of the North, General of the Felix Legions, loyal servant to the true emperor, Marcus Aurelius, father to a murdered son, husband to a murdered wife, and I will have my vengeance, Charlie Brown, in this life or the next.
