I know it’s an 'unnecessary film' (whatever that means), and that it has its flaws, but I will never not enjoy #SoloAStarWarsStory Alden Ehrenreich is great. Wish he'd got to do another.

I call this work 'The Delayed Train'. Coz it was taken on a delayed train. Art imitating Life imitating Art.

Bruno Mars. Had never heard his comedy songs before. Haven't laughed so hard in years. Versace on the Floor is a hoot. Leave the Door Open is comedy genius. So, so funny.
In other news, my girlfriend is sulking with me.

Congratulations to The Green Party and Hannah Spencer for such a strong victory in Gorton and Denton - Matt Goodwin seems to be blaming a dirty tricks campaign of the Greens persuading people to vote for them by having policies people wanted to vote for

Boxing up 20 plus years of #DeAgostini #StarWars writing. 8 projects, hundreds of magazines, thousands of articles (lore and factual). Very proud to have worked with amazing people, and of the pleasure this work has brough to so many around the world. The fate of all this? Wait and see. πŸ˜€

The closest I ever got to Carrie Fisher - except for seeing her waybin the distance at a Celebration - was failing to help the lovely researchers at the Jack Docherty show. They sent me her autograph and a tape of the show anyway! Like I said, lovely people.

Street scene in Glasgow, Scotland. Purple lights recede into the distance. Everything looks oddly sterile.

I spoke to one of the Google help assistants - an actual person, unless the AI is getting good at spelling errors - and they made sure for me that the slop is opt in only. They admitted that they'd love to be able to sneak into the 'Gemini room' and switch the power off forever. Then the chat ended.

#Google are getting really desperate with the #AI thing. The uptake must really be awful. I have a very basic storage account with them, and was just emailed to say I now have access to all the 'advantages' of one of their previously subscription only AI slop accounts. Nope. Do not want #AIslop
