An ad brought to you by the Norwegian Consumer Council. So good.

I’m not all that familiar with ‘More Perfect Union’. This summary shines a light on how vile American politics truly is. Destroying millions of people’s lives for $250M. Cheap.

🍿 Finished watching: Princess Mononoke. This has absolutely captured Zane’s imagination in a massive way. He’s maybe watched this 3-4 times since we originally watched it.

🍿 Finished watching: Spirited Away. It’s Miyazaki season in the house.

I absolutely love great reinterpretations of my favourite songs. Every you Every me, from Placebo’s Unplugged album hits so hard.

Walking with Zane around the neighbourhood we actually can hear birds for the first time in months. It’s good to have them back.

Not going to lie, this last week has been rough on my psychology. The war in Lebanon and Iran is playing out in the worst way and the evil bastard Israelis are seemingly winning the war (although they might have lost a few battles) and killing as many people as possible. It’s good to have the American taxpayer fund your evil.

I have a ton of thoughts on this, but that’s the frustrating part…they’re thoughts not action.

Operation Epic Fury. Department of War. The language used by this administration is uncivilised. These people are complete tools.

How many countries has the US bombed since 2001, and how much has it cost?

Still shocked, and a little numb, with what is going on across the Middle East. Parents. Family. Friends. Colleagues. Dotted all across the region.

Awesome. Now Hezbollah has joined the fight - which essentially means utter destruction in Lebanon…probably to the same extent as what has happened in Gaza. Everything is truly fucked.

I always find it pretty self centred to talk about random shit when war has erupted in the Middle East. My attention has been high jacked again as I constantly flip to Al Jazeera to see if anything new has happened. This is only day 2 and it’s not looking like it’s going to end any time soon.

🍿 Finished watching: The Wind Rises. Ryan’s been looking for anything aeroplane related to watch. Combined it with some Miyazaki. What’s interesting is how excited he was learning about aeronautical engineers.

📚 Finished reading: Stray Bullets Volume 1: Innocence of Nihilism by David Lapham. I’m pretty sure I originally bought the third issue when this came out 30ish years ago. Great read. Artwork is pitch perfect and way ahead of its time.

Woke up to the joint American and Nazi, wait sorry Israeli strikes on Iran. I doubt this is going to be like Venezuela.

Unreasonable Hospitality: The Field Guide. One of the best books, that I read in 2025, now comes as a companion book for how to implement the ideas described in the main book. Insta-buy.

It’s aeroplane season in my house and Ryan is all over it.

Why America Hates Change?. I can’t wait to see the whole thing but clip was brilliant, how he brings things all together. I love when standup is done this well.

📚 Finished reading: Saga Volume 12 by Brian K Vaughan. Been waiting a while to read this. Feel a little lost by some of these characters (so many). The art is amazing, dialogue is great and some of the character interactions are on point.

The push and pull of Mother Nature trying to get to spring (or unlocking) is really annoying this year.

Launch it 3 times. I absolutely love this idea. I recently ‘released’ my book on LinkedIn and everyone around me was super surprised that I wrote as a hobby. Can’t wait to ‘release’ my book a third time.

🍿 Finished watching: The Godfather Part II. Every time I watch this movie, I never can make up mind. Who is more perfect for their role, Deniro or Pacino. Just a brilliant movie.

📚 Finished reading: Southern Bastards Volume 4 by Jason Aaron. Not as strong as the first two volumes in this series. This story is never going to be finished on account of Jason Latour being a bad actor to women. Usually not a fan of guest artists, but on this series Chris Brunner was excellent.

What is it about comic creators and their sexual misconduct? Warren Ellis. Neil Gaiman. Cameron Stewart. Jason Latour. Scott Lobdell.

📚 Finished reading: Southern Bastards Volume. 3 by Jason Aaron. At this rate I am binging a great story.
