Tempus Fugit
Introduction An old piece but still the same for me. Many people ask me how I find the time to do the things that I do, while I feel that I just do not do enough, and am not supportive enough. I have just returned from a day in Scotland, including about eight hours on a train, which included getting an unexpected electric shock, leaving me with a fried middle finger. I wasn't too sure if I would be able to type, but some Germolene has done it well and it now just feels a bit itchy and very red.

Wonder Man Was Everything I've Missed From Marvel
When I first read that Marvel was developing a show dedicated to Wonder Man, I can't say I had very big expectations as I have no real connection to the character, but the idea of a stuntman turned superhero intrigued me! But having finished the entire show, I can confidently say Wonder Man has set the precedent for what I expect Marvel Studios to release this year, and may be one of my favorite stories the studio has told in the last 7 years. It's no secret that the MCU has been struggling to release worthwhile projects in the aftermath of their colossal saga ending film Avengers Endgame. While there has been some good movies and shows, Marvel studios seemed more interested in quantity over quality, with great projects becoming the exception rather than the rule. This was the opposite of what the Marvel Cinematic Universe had been known for in it's early years , where two films a year made for a sharper more consistent focus that the studio has struggled to maintain.

The Perils Of A Vocal Creator
Introduction Still relevant, maybe even more so This might sound like a moan, and in some ways it is, but on top of this, I still maintain that Vocal is an excellent if flawed platform, and is my own preferred platform of choice.

“It’s All About the Land”: Japan Suspends World’s Largest Nuclear Plant Hours After Restart. AI-Generated.
Japan’s energy strategy faced renewed scrutiny after authorities suspended operations at the world’s largest nuclear power plant just hours after it was restarted. The sudden halt reignited public debate around nuclear safety, land stability, and Japan’s long-standing struggle to balance energy security with environmental and seismic realities. While officials cited technical and safety concerns, critics argue that the deeper issue remains Japan’s geography itself—fragile land in one of the world’s most earthquake-prone regions.
