I use the word metastasied advisedly. #AISlop = cancer.
So one company (and a couple of others) seem to be stinking up my job recommendations on LinkedIn recently, offering contract roles to evaluate #AISlop content. Avoid like the plague. Fuck this. They seem to have metastasied around the UK.

Now I'm thinking of a werecat film. Anyway, other great werewolf films: 'Late Phases'.

Next up 'Dog Soldiers'. It always delivers. "Spoon? There is no spoon."

Today's first film. The adaptation of Irving Welsh's 'Filth'. Utterly reprehensible, very funny, actually quite touching. Sadly, he's come out as a bit TERF-adjacent recently. You sit on the fence, you get splinters up your arse, mate.
