Really liked this from Sithara Ranasinghe because as well as insightfully capturing the issue, it includes a perfect Pratchett quote that is also a straight dude talking about Japan.

this entire reveal also rests on the fact that fashion and politics-wise you could mistake the early 2000s for today and I would like it to stop being like this please!
fun fact: literally the only actor working who can do this is Mark Cole Smith.
"mum can you come pick me up? yeah the goo goo dolls just released a techno remix of Iris with steve aoki. mum i'm scared."
master and commander and the mandalorian and grogu
this script got me googling shit like "australian plastic currency changeover", "early CPR recommendations" and "ramadan 2002"
Normal ppl I hope you have a beautiful long weekend. F1 fans I hope you are repenting.
It is SEVEN THIRTY AM and the cars are going vroom they just approved $400mil in government spending on renovating one building for this bullshit and I can’t see a doctor who bulk bills.
alternate suggestion: car go fuck itself
the world's number 1 F1 hater is logging on (they have shut down my tramline that goes along the park and would do nothing but make access to the gates easier and more accessible for those foolish enough to be going to this event, and have instead decided to fuck everyone over)
new unlocked bonus episode about a bunch of movies I watched this week - there are some unexpected through-lines but also some barely-hinged ramblings!

what are we even doing here

this monorail scene may be meaningless to many but it’s important to me.
it's important when writing a screenplay to think globally and put an entire reveal on something incomprehensible to anyone who didn't live in Sydney in 2002.
yeah sure I arrived with macarons this is not a psy-op
I should stress the initial suggestion was watching Pirates 3 but I’d watched it a week before. I had also watched Monte Cristo less than a week before but I swear the plan was “we can watch the first 20 minutes to see if you like it?”
I’ve started the most obscure, least profitable pyramid scheme where I convince the entire world to watch The Count of Monte Cristo by going to your house and watching it with you.
insane that The Maltese Falcon and the Count of Monte Cristo have the same Maguffin
Being held hostage at the library (had a bunch of very overdue items preventing me from borrowing, which I put through the slot when I got here, but have not been processed yet preventing me from checking out all the things I now want to borrow)
I can confirm the murder could not have happened as written but I’m not gonna put the specifics on blast cos it’s an author I like and prior to specifically training in this specific on-set role I would have assumed it operated the way it was written. also I am sitting in a big glass house rn.
Huge thanks to @davechen.bsky.social for a) running this, b) letting me open with “it is once again joever” and c) not cutting the line about how AI will never love, yearn or get railed in a sundress

the book that prompted this has now gone into even more detail about a thing I know too much about and if the entire crime rests on this I will have to go to the author’s house and explain my passions to him.
f1 means my parkrun is cancelled for 3 weeks I’m calling in a drone strike
