Miriam Margolyes is pretty much my mental cast for Nanny Ogg, just as much as Maggie Smith and/or Vanessa Redgrave make for Granny Weatherwax.

Learning of the snubs of Graham Chapman and John Cleese towards Miriam Margolyes and being not pissed off, but terribly disappointed. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYsxCtS_9R8

I started reading my copy of 'Mörk Org' today, and it's really subtle on anti-capitalism.

Another note why Sam Neill was a good one: https://bsky.app/profile/rhysparton.bsky.social/post/3mqjaadmkvk2a

Sam Neill appears in a lot of key movies of the last fourty-something years: 'Possession', 'Hunt for the Red October', 'Jurassic Park', 'Event Horizon', 'In the Mouth of Madness', 'The Piano'… the list is so fucking extensive… and in each and every one of those you <saw> him, he was a magnetic presence. He will be sorely missed.

De casa rural con amigos de los juegos de mesa, fuera de Madrid. Aún estoy disociado por el estrés de las últimas semanas entre el estrés por el calor, estrés por repetición en el trabajo y una colección de pequeñas cosas que se han convertido en bola de nieve de angustia. Me falta la energía y las ganas de vivir.

Otro de esos días de tener terapia y salir como si me hubieran dado una paliza en el alma.

Titular alternativo: "Los Empresarios roban los salarios del 40% de las horas extra."

Mainly: nazis are bad, eugenics and ecofascism are bad, rich people are bad.

I am at the moment in the first half of the fifth season of my complete watch of 'Stargate SG-1' and I have made marks of very notably good episodes, such as 'the Other Side', but also '2010', '2001' and 'Desperate Measures'. I already commented how it is an era of TV that we won't get back with the changes in the business model, but it is extremely notable how they had messages that didn't stick enough.

In this historical moment, the <decision> of making a film about Robin Hood where Robin Hood is a ruthless, killing bandit, is certainly <a thing>, I would say.

Por curiosidad (malsana) eché un vistazo ayer a cómo iba lo de la cotización del chiringo de Musk y, well, Seems like it's not being all the way to the moon either.

Bueno pues he perdido un par o cinco litros de agua montando la nueva silla de escritorio para trabajar desde el salón pero está lista. En las pruebas que he hecho, es turbo-cómoda. Punto para los chinos de Sihoo.

Segundo día de desayuno desacostumbrado. Hoy he mantenido el "nido" de tallarines y las dos hojas de kimchi (troceandolas antes) pero he añadido dos huevos y eso ha redondeado el plato.

The parts of Athenian Democracy that tell you in high school: all adult males had a vote, ostracism, boring parallels with the present and how "today we do it <so> much better".

The parts of Athenian Democracy that don't tell you in high school: "Get your name in the lotery, motherfucker. You are going to have to be a councilor for a year and deal with shit."
