100,000 trans people & allies fill central London for Trans Pride.

Mainstream media: nothing

Thousands of trans people & allies fill Wembley Arena for pro-trans gig with massive names like Sophie Ellis-Bextor & Sugarbabes.

Mainstream media: nothing.

This is what extreme media bias looks like.

You’ve Jezzed this, like you’ve Jezzed the Lib Dem’s.
A right jezzing.

Never thought I’d be championing Iran in a proxy war. But here we are.

Insanely high frame-rate live rotoscoping for an ad …. where else? Japan.
Made for the defunct fashion brand Renown in 1988.
Love this.

(A-ha’s Take On Me was 1985, used the same technique, but a much lower-frame rate as rotoscoping is highly labour intensive)

Fucking hell.
At least Lex Luthor’s tech pitches to the public were subtle.
The shark has truly jumped.

The DVD is insane. Has remixed versions of all 6 episodes and so many odd Easter eggs you unlock with the remote. If I recall correctly, there’s a version that just bounces around the screen for no reason.

Funland (TV Mini Series 2005) ⭐ 8.1 | Comedy, Drama, Mystery 1h

I do think 1995-2005 was a peak era for subversive British comedy series. It was an excellent petri-dish for homegrown weirdness.
If you were ever into Nighty Night, Psychoville or Phoenix Nights, try and watch FUNLAND - the forgotten unhinged Blackpool miniseries.

I hope to god it’s better than that Gore Verbinski film GOOD LUCK, HAVE FUN, DON’T DIE that thinks homage is ripping off Black Mirror, Zombieland and Terminator 2.
The fact it leaned into its own smugness, pissed me right off.

Looking forward to Project Hail Mary this weekend.
Phil Lord and Christopher Miller are best contemporary enfants terrible you’ll get in Hollywood that have carved a commercial furrow with their kooky stubbornness.

I don’t put myself out there enough with my DJing, so here’s my last live mix that I did for radio a few weeks ago - 30mins across genres. From Turnstile to The Police to Hamdi to Radiohead.

In better news, I saw EVERYBODY TO KENMURE STREET this evening and the kinda documentary that rouses the activist in me, and makes you think of what more you can be doing to help your community.
Love a bit of peaceful social disobiedience.

Great article about why the Paramount buyout of Warner Bros may not be a good things after all.

Fantastic interview. Everyone should read it:

I’ve struggled with verbal tics on and off for the last twenty years, and whilst not on the scale of Johnny, this is exactly what happens.
It’s shameful, compounded by how other people react. Can’t imagine what Johnny Davidson feels whilst he’s put through the public outrage and media wringer.
