Look, you get born, you keep your head down, and then you die. If you’re lucky.

  • In the 1950s men ruled the home, earned the money, and were kings of their castles. Since then gender rules have been torn up and rewritten. Women have carved out new spaces for themselves with the support of allies. But there hasn’t really been a new consensus of what a man’s role is any more. The result being that lots of men see their domination being eroded by the new order of things.

    Shitstains like Tate prey on this by offering stupid but simple answers or solutions. “It’s not your fault that you’re a failure, it’s the [random mysogenistic term]'s fault. It’s them, they’ve done this to you. They’re cheating your out of your rights.” It’s the same rhetoric as Hitler blaming the Jews and Trump blaming immigrants and Musk blaming the ‘woke mind virus’.

    It gives young men an out. “This guy’s winning at life and owning the [random mysogenistic term]! I should do what he does!”







  • The Last Of Us was excellent and featured one of the most amazing episodes of TV of all time.

    If you’re a Twin Peaks fan (I am), the this is the place to watch Twin Peaks: The Return if you haven’t seen it yet.

    Dune Prophecy was excellent, although on a smaller scale than the Vileneuve films. But I enjoy anything with Travis Fimmel.

    My wife liked Poker Face but I found the lead a little grating.

    The Penguin was pretty good, featuring an unrecognisable Colin Farrell.
