Actually I’d rather never see either of them in a Liverpool shirt again

I wrote this before the second yellow for Gravenbach. What a pile of shit this game has become.

I don’t know if I can be bothered watching football anymore. It just all feels so fixed. How can we trust any of this?

Wirtz and Kerkez are both very depressing presences. I want Wirtz to somehow shine but I don’t see it happening whereas Kerkez is just poor.

The world is a complex and dangerous place on so many fronts right now. The urge for simplistic viewpoints is understandable but so wrong. As Ted Hughes once wrote "Blowing the world up is too much like slamming a door."

This picture by Adnan Abidi seems to sum up 2026. A woman fighting disenfranchisement of Muslims in a country being ruled by a would-be autocrat who wants to make India into an ethno-nationalist state

Holy shit they disenfranchised nearly ten percent of the population. It’s like a GOP wet dream

Which he claims credit for!!!

Werner Herzog is a bit of a hero of mine but this is almost hilarious in its egocentricism. He make Lotte Eisner’s death all about him, walking from Munich to Paris in the depth of winter and soon all he can think of is foot ointment and milk. Works best as a Confederacy of Dunces type novel.

Dr. No Thanks

Vastly underrated film

My Dinner with Andre could’ve been an email

Yep. I’m wearied of the John Wick effect which John Woo had already done to death fifteen years before.

Normal: Bob Odenkirk is always watchable and it has its moments but there’s an oily fascism to this kind of massacring violence. It isn’t sharp enough to be satirical and soon collapses into a series of inventive kills.

If you don’t like going to foreign places don’t go to foreign places

I wrote an essay for the Blu-ray release of Michael Almereyda and Courtney Stephens documentary John Lilly and the Earth Coincidence Control Office, narrated by Chloe Sevigny
