In a world where we could be anything, we should be kind.

Trite.

Yet true.

"He's been an incredible servant"

I guess that explains the horse racing mindset.

Animals should not be servants.

Personally I think that this 1972/1973 #Citroen SM may have seen better days.

Then again let's slap it with some T-Cut and see what happens...

Pity as it is a rare, rare beast. Also looks like it has the movable headlights too!

I am sad to hear that Rob Grant, creator of #RedDwarf has died. We listened to a brilliant interview with him and Craig Charles not that long ago - so full of life.

Red Dwarf will always be a special part of #SciFi #TV and my youth.

Why the BBC aren't covering this - or even mentioning it on the news website - is completely beyond me. How much did Rob do for the corporation, how much money did he make for them and how much did he contribute to their comedy output?

Anyway. Someone smoke him a kipper.

Does #Dune resemble 2026?

Damien Walter certainly thinks so - and makes a lot of compelling points across 17 minutes.

This is the role of #scifi , isn't it? To hold up a mirror to the possible as a warning. Yet how often do we only see these warnings in hindsight?

Damien's points about where real power lies sit uncomfortably. But that's because they're true....

I am somewhat disturbed by how much DUNE resembles...2026

"When you see it on Truth Social you know it's directly from President Trump, that's the beauty of this president in his transparency and relaying this administration's policies."

So says Trump's Press Secretary.

Unless it's a racist meme feature Obamas, when it was posted by a "staffer".

Horse's mouth. Horse's ass more like.
