"Passenger" may be a film so dull and unmemorable that all I remember from it is that the house at the start looks like the one from Lisa Loeb's "Stay"; but watching it before "Madfabulous" made the latter film even better as a passionate queer celebration of Welsh history for the passion and affection and love it had that the former did not.
Question for comic book Tumblr: When Hawk and Dove yell out their names and thus transform into their superpowered selves, do people magically not remember them being these two people beforehand?
Pride month? Oh cool, enjoy. I dunno man, I'm watching "Stray Dog" by Akira Kurosawa, I've not planned for this
We're never getting an actor like Robert Ryan again.
Not to be that guy (who am I kidding?) but when I get shit for saying "Project Hail Mary" is way too fucking long, I shouldn't need to defend myself by pointing out that it's longer than fucking "Ran"
Rewatching "The Simpsons" after so many years, it hits its golden stride so quickly: I'm on series 3 and we've already hit the one-two-three-four punch of "Saturdays of Thunder" and "Flaming Moe's", "Radio Bart" ("Marge, he's a really good digger!") and one of my all time favourites, ("Bart the Lover"), which in particular is a lot earlier than I remember. Man, we've not even hit my favourites yet. This show used to be something special
It's a warm Summer day, the heat wave is starting to abate, and it's half term. Time to return to "Whisper of the Heart" for the first time in almost 20 years when I first saw it on Channel 4 during half term...
As much as I enjoyed the devillishly fun and refreshing "Monkey's Paw" take that was "Obsession": My brain is so poisoned by Civvie11 videos that I was giggling to myself at the sight of "Capstone Pictures" because I could only think: "CAPSTONE! The pinnacle of 'IT'S ALWAYS FUCKING SOMETHING'!"
Sweet merciful Jesus, the island filler episodes of "Nadia and the Secret of Blue Water" are as bad as people say. They gel with the show's previous arcs, episodes and even characters with the congruity of putting engine coolant into lemonade. It's infuriating, because now I can only recommend it as a show with the caveat of skipping a chunk of it: not simply because it's rougher than a sandpaper dildo, but because it actively ruins the 20 or so episodes of development and writing beforehand and makes the characters hollow facsimiles of themselves
I did it. It needs editing, but it's out of my system
I finished my latest screenplay, a knock-off of "Ghostbusters" about corporate tomfuckery and the soulless corporate culture. I did it. It's done.
Reform UK in Wales
It’s 8 May 2026, and Wales is facing a new government! For the first time in history, Welsh Labour have nowhere near enough seats to form a government, known here as the Senedd. They don’t even have enough seats for every member of the S Club Juniors. It’s inevitable that Plaid Cymru’s Rhun ap Iorwerth will be the new First Minister of Wales - whether in coalition or as minority government.
But I think I’m going to spend the next five years obsessed with the new Members of Senedd from far-right populist party Reform UK.
The Will Hayward Newsletter has been an invaluable source of information for this post. It’s a great publication for Welsh politics.
Party cheat sheet:
43 seats - Plaid Cymru (often “Plaid”), centre-left, pro-Welsh independence;
34 seats - Reform UK, far-right, populist;
9 seats - Welsh Labour, centre-left, pro-British union;
7 seats - Welsh Convervatives, right-wing, pro-British union;
2 seats - Wales Green party, left-wing, environmentalists, pro-Welsh indepenence;
1 seat - Welsh Liberal Democrats, centrist, socially liberal, pro-British union.
Reform UK - previously the Brexit Party - was co-created by Catherine Blaiklock (an anti-Islamist who wants to abolish food banks and start hanging drug dealers) and its current leader, Nigel Farage (a reality TV contestant).
The previous Welsh Senedd included exactly one Reform UK Member, but now we’ve got 34 of them. Let’s meet them!
Dan Thomas
Leader of Reform UK in Wales. Led Barnet Council, outsourcing a huge number of public services.
Claimed the media was “weaponising my housing portfolio against me”.
Claims Wales spends too much money on sport, even though Wales is among the worst in Europe for sport funding - only Poland and Latvia spend less per person on sport.
Helen Jenner
Deputy leader, Welsh speaker from North Wales. Accused Plaid Cymru campaigners of lying after one campaigner claimed Reform wanted to privatise the NHS, which isn’t a Reform policy.
Laura Anne Jones
James Evans
Former Conservative Members who jumped ship to Reform. A YouGov poll in March suggested that both would lose their seats if they remained Conservatives. They switched parties and won.
Laura was a member of the previous Senedd. She was suspended for using a racial slur. Failed to turn up for key votes. DID turn up to vote against a bill to stop politicians from lying. She was the only vote against.
James previously called Reform’s anti-immigration rhetoric “dangerous”, said they “didn’t have a plan for Wales”, and were “total hypocrites”. Attacked the media for twisting his words after he defected.
Llŷr Powell
Llŷr attempted to join the Senedd in October 2025 in a Caerphilly byelection that was ultimately won by Plaid. Farage apparently calls him “Welsh Dave”. Llŷr previously worked for former Reform Welsh leader Nathan Gill, who’s currently in jail for taking Russian bribes.
Claire Johnson Wood
Former Tory, but also anti-devolution. Previously stood for the Abolish the Assembly Party (“Assembly” being the former name of the Senedd). Previously claimed a Powys pub would be used to house asylum seekers (this wasn’t true).
Francesca O’Brien
Steven Rodaway
These two apparently made every effort not to speak to the Will Hayward Newsletter. Later, the Newsletter would find out that it’s Reform policy (orders from “the Party” according to Reform’s election agent Zak Weaver) not to engage with them.
Iain Mcintosh
Adrian Gwyn Mason
Louise Emery
Thomas Montgomery
Stephen Senior
Former Conservative Members.
Cristiana Emsley
Former head of Cleveland Police’s standards and ethics department, where she was suspended for two years after an investigation into allegations of misconduct.
Benjamin McKenna
Advocates reopening Welsh coal mines. Even though the last UK power station that used coal closed in 2024.
John Clark
Blamed NATO for the war in Ukraine. Praised Vladimir Putin for his interview with American journalist and dweeb Tucker Carlson.
Catherine Cullen
Claimed that Wales had introduced a blanket speed limit of 20 miles per hour on all roads in a video filmed on a Welsh road with a clearly-visible 50mph sign in the background.
Cai Parry-Jones
Jason O’Connell
Art Wright
In March, these three were named by an anonymous Reform UK insider as examples of representatives chosen unfairly rather than by merit. A Nation.Cymru article reported on the claim that Reform favours “insiders, parachuted candidates and personal connection over local knowledge and competence”.
Sarah Cooper-Lesadd
A former Westminster Conservative, Farage allowed her to stand in a very safe seat in Wales, representing an area which (according to a colleague of hers) she’d visited once when she was seven.
Gareth Thomas
Stood for Reform in the 2024 UK General Election.
Gareth Beer
In September 2025, made a TV appearance described by Llanelli town council leader David Darkin as “one of the worst TV interviews by a would-be Welsh politician ever.”
And the rest:
Steve Bayliss
Joshua Kim
David Mills
Joseph Martin
Susan Claire Archibald
Paul Marr
Nigel Williams
Andrew Griffin
David Hughes
Carmelo Colasanto
Sarah Edwards
Honourable Mention: Nigel Farage
Farage had planned to visit Wales, but this was cancelled when it became clear Reform would come second to Plaid Cymru.
Farage is a dangerously clever strategist. He knows when it’s worth turning up in person. There was a real danger of Reform winning the most seats. Now - Reform leading the Senedd could erode Farage’s chances at the next UK General Election. But that wasn’t really on the cards anyway.
Polls predicted the possibility of Reform having the most seats, but without the numbers to form a government. Only the Welsh Conservatives would help them in coalition, and no polls thought Reform and the Conservatives would have enough seats between them for a majority.
So Farage could have benefitted hugely from Reform winning the most seats. Plaid Cymru would have ended up in government anyway, and Farage could point to this as an example of a system that’s rigged against his party.
Today’s result is very good for Reform. But it could certainly have been a lot better.
Finally ...
I’m so excited to see these guys in action. I am rooting for them to fail. I want suspensions, controversies, unacceptable absences.
Opposition is such an important part of a functioning government. Wales had a terrible opposition last time, and it’s even worse this time. I’m angry. But hey. Let’s do our best to embrace any schadenfreude we can get.
A fantastic, well researched little breakdown. I remember these coming to light, it's just a flurry of shit with these clowns.
After my fiancee endured all of "Monk" it was time for our next television watch, so she has selected "Ugly Betty": a show I never saw. After six episodes: 1. Big Ignacio fan. Love me some Tony Plana, and he makes for a very warm, wholesome straight man to proceedings. He has big "Guy Who Dies" energy, so I'm enjoying him whilst I can. 2. Can see why Wilhelmina Slater is being relished by the actor playing her: she's like a moustache twirling pantomime villain. 3. Supremely camp and slick, love the telenovella influences and intrigue and plot twists, but also the stylish edits and gorgeous costuming. 4. Amanda and Marc are excellent. Cannot hate these two characters. Favourite episode by a country mile is the one where they must reluctantly team up with Betty to cover their asses so none of them get fired. Love how Marc is humanised with his bonding with Betty's nephew, and Amanda through how hurtful the womanising is and her massive hidden appetite and stress eating. 5. Walter sucks. He sucks so fucking much, I hate him, the show is far too lenient on him when the rest of it is fairly progressive and forward thinking. If Walter has a thousand haters, I am one of them. If Walter has no haters, it is because I am dead. 6. Ashley Jensen is always wonderful. 7. A lot knottier and emotionally richer than expected. If this keeps up I think it's on track to be a good time.
The only English on "Fenian" being: "Fuck Keir Starmer, Natanyahu's bitch and genocide armer. Better off as compost for farmers" "I'll huff, I'll puff, I'll blow your house up." "Fuck the Duolingo bird, he be talking some shit. Stick this on repeat and you'll be fluent in getting lit." Art. Fucking art.
The motivation of switching sides because the villains are going to destroy the world, and you rather like all the shit you have there including "one night stands, threesomes, foursomes and beer" is not only an all-time motivation, but absolutely in character for Kano, all the more impressive for basically the writers bending over backwards to find a way to bring him back after a super death in the first film. (Also the sheer fucking brass balls to actually make Kano fucking great, and give him a theme of redemption and pragmatic heroism is fucking outstanding cinema) I love you "Mortal Kombat 2"
Just saw it at long last
Johnny: Hanzo, we need your help to navigate the Netherrealm so we can retrieve the amulet, beat Shao Kahn and save Earthrealm!
Hanzo: No, sorry.
Kano: Bi-Han is still alive.
Hanzo:
