Spotting William Hope ( Gorman from Aliens!) hiding out in the mines on #Silo was an absolute masterstroke. The man is still playing the same jumpy, panicking-under-pressure energy from 1986 and he completely nails it. Graham Yost the absolute boss for this casting choice. 💥🎬
Yost is throwing subtlety completely out the window. Watching a mega-corporation finance an uncompromising, #Andor-style takedown of unchecked billionaires and corporate secrecy is tv’s wildest, most head-spinning paradox. Political sci-fi speaking directly to us, now. 🔥#SILO
@StuartRYoung1 Loving the commitment to accountability… as long as it’s only retroactive. Kamla says she’ll terrorise entire families under SOE rules and a minion says ‘but Stuart bad 2020’? That’s deflection & whataboutism. Address the rant first, then we can chat about Dragon gas. Deal?
Verdict on #KnivesOutWakeUpDeadMan from a priest: Pretty good. Great murder mystery. Fun. Surprisingly effective portrayal of a compassionate priest by Josh O'Connor. At times, I wished he were playing a priest in a serious drama. Also some decent theological and even ecclesiological discussions between O'Connor's Father Jud and Daniel Craig's Benoit Blanc, which is no mean feat. Plus, mirabile dictu, the correct liturgical colors for the vestments, depending on the time of year. On the other hand, Josh Brolin's character was sadly overdrawn. A few howlers that should have been caught, too: Priests don't take confessions. We hear them. You celebrate a Mass, not a service. Also, clearly an Episcopal church as a stand in. But you know what? Pretty good. Four out of five collars.

Aimee Lou Wood was the soul of The White Lotus S3. No fuss, no flash—just eyes, breath, stillness. Honestly? The only character who seemed like a real human being. A breakout performance so good, it made the finale hurt more than expected. Protect her at all costs. #WhiteLotus
When “merit based” means you can’t even spell your own job title. In addition to their raging malice & belligerent incompetence, Trump and his admin are also just embarrassingly stupid.
@KejanHaynes Funny you should say that. That politician who said he will fix it, today he said: “For the first time in Trinidad and Tobago history a government is going to win 43 seats.
We're going to find two more seats somewhere in Grenada and Antigua and going to win them too.”
@buhdahwee I’m giving away my age here but I used to be allowed to leave home at sunset in Four Roads to meet up with pals to go and storm Starlite Drive-In cinema. We crawled in via a drain from Victoria Gardens. Afterwards, it was walking home in the dark after the movie.
Everyone (on my, losing side of the aisle) is asking "can America be saved from Trump."
I have a better question: Is America worth saving?
My latest in the @thenation arrives at the conclusion that America deserves what's about to happen.
