    This is a 2018 Alex Garland film. It annoyed me. I wouldn’t be annoyed if it was shit. Alex Garland annoys me. Ex Machina is one of my favourite films. But there is this thing that is just a bit 90s about all of his stuff, it’s like Charlie Brooker as well. I am not…

    This is an interesting film because it weirdly got repurposed by the alt-right as with D-Fens as a hero, which is just mental. Like Fight Club though, I always loved it, but I never saw it as a right wing film. I mean, even as a kid I knew that he was a lunatic. But…

    This is just to highlight something from one of my favourite podcasts. Already pretty famous and apparently very internet famous right now. Mike Duncan is a ‘kind of famous’ podcaster who does accessible ‘deep dives’ into historical events. He made a name for himself by going through the entire history of Rome, over about 10…

    Ok, so I moved around a couple of jobs. Because I was not doing well in Wenzhou but they liked me, they sent me to Yangzhou. Yangzhou is another super interesting city. In history it was where all of the salt on the Yangzthe was taxed, in the old days salt was way more important…
