A shit take. For someone who is a connoisseur of film, refusing to watch multiple interpretations is ignorant as fuck. Like saying, "I've eaten my mum's lasagne, I refuse to taste another lasagne". Prick.

Quentin Tarantino says he refuses to watch Denis Villeneuve’s ‘DUNE’ films.

“I saw David Lynch’s ‘Dune’ a few times. I don’t need to see that story again. I don’t need to see spice worms. I don’t need to see a movie that says the word “spice” so dramatically”

I have to share this again: “Koalas are fucking horrible animals. They have one of the smallest brain to body ratios of any mammal, additionally - their brains are smooth. A brain is folded to increase the surface area for neurons. If you present a koala with leaves plucked from a branch, laid on a flat surface, the koala will not recognise it as food. They are too thick to adapt their feeding behaviour to cope with change. In a room full of potential food, they can literally starve to death. This is not the token of an animal that is winning at life. Speaking of stupidity and food, one of the likely reasons for their primitive brains is the fact that additionally to being poisonous, eucalyptus leaves (the only thing they eat) have almost no nutritional value. They can't afford the extra energy to think, they sleep more than 80% of their fucking lives. When they are awake all they do is eat, shit and occasionally scream like fucking satan. Because eucalyptus leaves hold such little nutritional value, koalas have to ferment the leaves in their guts for days on end. Unlike their brains, they have the largest hind gut to body ratio of any mammal. Many herbivorous mammals have adaptations to cope with harsh plant life taking its toll on their teeth, rodents for instance have teeth that never stop growing, some animals only have teeth on their lower jaw, grinding plant matter on bony plates in the tops of their mouths, others have enlarged molars that distribute the wear and break down plant matter more efficiently... Koalas are no exception, when their teeth erode down to nothing, they resolve the situation by starving to death, because they're fucking terrible animals. Being mammals, koalas raise their joeys on milk (admittedly, one of the lowest milk yields to body ratio... There's a trend here). When the young joey needs to transition from rich, nourishing substances like milk, to eucalyptus (a plant that seems to be making it abundantly clear that it doesn't want to be eaten), it finds it does not have the necessary gut flora to digest the leaves. To remedy this, the young joey begins nuzzling its mother's anus until she leaks a little diarrhoea (actually fecal pap, slightly less digested), which he then proceeds to slurp on. This partially digested plant matter gives him just what he needs to start developing his digestive system. Of course, he may not even have needed to bother nuzzling his mother. She may have been suffering from incontinence. Why? Because koalas are riddled with chlamydia. In some areas the infection rate is 80% or higher. This statistic isn't helped by the fact that one of the few other activities koalas will spend their precious energy on is rape. Despite being seasonal breeders, males seem to either not know or care, and will simply overpower a female regardless of whether she is ovulating. If she fights back, he may drag them both out of the tree, which brings us full circle back to the brain: Koalas have a higher than average quantity of cerebrospinal fluid in their brains. This is to protect their brains from injury... should they fall from a tree. An animal so thick it has its own little built in special ed helmet. I fucking hate them.”

Rest in Peace Carl Weathers (1948 - 2024)

Daft Punk's soundtrack for Tron: Legacy should be recognised as their finest work.

Remarkable to hear Braverman say multiculturalism has failed. She's a British Home Secretary descended from Goan Indians from Mauritius and Kenya, married to a Jewish husband, in a government headed by Britain's first Hindu PM. What would successful multiculturalism look like?

On the one hand, the U.K. government has largely withdrawn support for motorists to buy EVs & chargers, whilst on the other it doubles down on its 2030 EV target. Where is the joined up strategy to be ready for 2030? We need more gigafactories, charging stations and financial support for consumers. Govt must now adequately define what is an acceptable hybrid battery range for cars from 2030-35; it’s scandalous that this fundamental specification is still open, leaving politicians commitment to net zero opaque.

DATA in Star Trek TNG settled the pronunciation of the word data. Decades ago. For the screaming love of fuck, stop saying "dah ta" like you live in New Zealand.

And in doing so, cause a fuck of a lot less damage to the environment than scrapping it and buying a Tesla.

Had a chat with the lovely elderly owner of this Twickenham-bound Renault 5, who has owned it from new. She has no plans to replace it; she'll just put up with paying £12.50 every time her travel needs aren't compatible with public transport.

Women not moving the car seat back should be regarded as a similar misdemeanor as men not putting the toilet seat down
