Just completed final watch through of the finished ROGUE TROOPER film…
25 years of pestering @2000ad.bsky.social to let me give it a shot, 3 years of production to make the thing & now… it’s DONE!
Can’t wait for you to see it.
So, so proud of our team.
We’ve made something a bit special.

Moonage Daydream from Ziggy Stardust the motion picture is still my favourite.

I've never been able to achieve the sound of Trevor Bolder's bass on the album. And Mick Ronson's guitar work on this track in particular is brilliant.

Full responsibility for this calamitous decision rests with Bridget Phillipson who was told by two committees of MPs that Mary-Ann Stephenson was out of her depth - and it was clear she was transphobic - but chose to appoint her anyway.
Just in case there was any doubt about Mary-Ann Stephenson being both biased (so unqualified to Chair the EHRC) and out of her depth here she hangs her hat on the hideous guidance drawn up by her predecessor - without waiting for the results of the High Court challenge which may find it unlawful.

Re. The BBC funding.
The TV licence system is outdated and should be replaced.
My thought is that broadcast TV should have advertising, but there should be a subscription model for ad-free streaming.

Chorus is a bit like salt. Just add a teeny tiny touch of it to make instruments sound bigger. It's a great flavour enhancer, rather than being the main flavour itself.
But sometimes you have to break the rules. Siouxie and the Banshees' Night Shift is awesome.

When you give me the option of using my password or an emailed code when logging on to a new pc for the first time, why force me to create a PIN if i use the latter?
You could let me go back to enter the password, or at the very least warn me of the consequence of using the code.

You know, infuriating and a shameful betrayal though the BBC and other media's misreporting of the Sandie Peggie judgment is, it also doesn't really matter.
What matters is the judgment which lawyers will read, use to advise their clients, and inclusion will be the winner.

So according to amazon my top tracks are unsurprisingly tracks I worked on doing cover versions of. Surprisingly the Christmas songs I've been working on recently have not been included.
Another surprise is that Sonic Youth are the top band. I suspect I must have left the playlist running at work.

Got a new wide screen monitor yesterday, replacing 2 normal screens. Boy, that thing is big.
Getting to grips with how to best use the screen. Luckily - weirdly actually - I was able to install powertoys which seems to do the trick using FancyFrames.

Meanwhile the Brexit that this turdblossom agitated for is costing the UK £90Bn in lost tax revenue EVERY YEAR and not producing anything, while the "welfare regime" he's complaining about subsidizes low-income workers in employment and pays for free healthcare for all. Hypocrite.
