While obviously Lammy's proposal of scrapping many jury trials is getting the headlines, it seems odd how little attention his proposal to scrap the automatic right to appeal is getting. That seems like quite a big thing to be honest, especially for poorer and more marginalised defendants. #r4today

I'm at the "stare at the screen and will the words to write themselves" part of this project.

But I'm not going to use ai, because I'm not a fucking hack.

Die Hard is a Christmas movie, but not intentionally. They rented the office to film in over the Christmas break and the decorations were already up. McTiernan didn't want to have to take them down and put them back up (risking losing his deposit) so he rewrote the script to set it at Christmas.

Home Alone could've had a very different ending if it was made more recently.

I would like a Frog and Toad style series of books but it's about David Lynch and David Byrne going on adventures and making films and music

I quite like spicy food and I always feel like my spice tolerance is reasonable but then I try to eat buldak noodles and I am like little baby. Best I can manage is the "carbonara" ones, which is embarrassing for even more reasons than just the low spice tolerance

Got my covid vaccine today. Got my flu vaccine last month. Should have a nice strong immune system in time for Christmas and the inevitable coughing crew that's about to start showing up on every train 😷💉💪🏻

Impossible how good reading is. You mean I just point my face at the paper for a bit and it does a whole update on my brain?

Fixed it for you. Idiots! If the exclusion is based on appearance then it will certainly impact cis folks as well as trans folks.

Cloud: I got rained on waiting for the train so my coat is damp.

Silver lining: the fella man-spreading on the train is now also damp.

i fully agree with this theory and in my actual field, british architectural history, The Problem is that Salisbury Cathedral is built on top of a lake and no i am not exaggerating
between this and the FSO Safer (another ship at serious risk of exploding) I’m convinced every field has its “yeah, this is the problem that keeps me up at night” and I’m on a quest to learn about all of them
yes yes we all know about the Edmund Fitzgerald, rest her soul, but did you know about the ship laden with explosives that sank in the mouth of the Thames in 1944 and could explode at any minute and which attempts to disarm keep failing

Speaking of Pratchett, check out the video I made ages ago about his love for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and how he managed to be a popular British fantasy author who was actually a decent person and not a huge bigoted arsehole
