Watched An Unexpected Journey last night. It's alright. Riddles in the Dark is superb. But it's a lesser film than Fellowship of the Ring in pretty much every way, and most of that is down to the director, not the text.
And as memory serves the sequels are much worse.

"NO INCREASE IN INCOME TAX!!!"
Except there fucking is, isn't there. Inflation didn't stop being a thing yesterday.
If you don't raise the threshold, it's a tax increase, and it's a regressive one atop a tax system that is already fundamentally regressive by design.

This may be true - I haven't read the budget yet - but the last time I saw 'Henry' used to describe someone it was for a household that pulled in four times the national average so... y'know.
Opinion: The biggest losers of the UK Budget are set to be Henrys and Henriettas — a shorthand for young professionals who are High Earners, but Not Rich Yet. And two measures make it particularly horrid for them. on.ft.com/48Ck8BK

Amazing. This was such a bold idea, so clearly beyond the realms of tech at the time, that it's nice to see them sticking with it.
But Skull and Bones was in dev hell for a long time too and it came out shit. So my hopes aren't high.

More Ron Moore AOL fan interactions from the 90s.
The first one deals with fan entitlement - the delusion that every true fan believes as they do and that they have ownership over the show because they care so much.

I like playing with AI now and again to see what it can and can't do. But you couldn't pay me to give my details to one owned by Musk, which means I've barely touched Grok.
So you have to wonder how many people that spend hundreds on these things each month have avoided it as well.

Look I don't want a personal relationship with every Just Eat driver that crosses my path, but one of them just said, "enjoy your meal" and it's the best interaction I've had with any of them in months.

Worth it for the wordplay alone.
Me and @caitlinsmith.bsky.social have teamed up to make another BBC Radio 4 documentary. If At First You Don't Secede asks if there is any way through the current impasse on independence. It's on this coming Sunday (November 23) at 1.30pm if you fancy a listen. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
