This film had a bit more umph than its predecessor, though introducing Harry as a supervillain took a bit of time and didn’t give the Goblin enough screen time. I also thought that Gwen’s graduation speech was a bit morbid. I like how he tries to be friends with the bad guys first. But you’d think that Richard Parker would want to destroy his work rather than hide it away. It’s also strange how all of this science is conveniently locked up in a skyscraper in the middle of a populous city. The grand reveal of Spiderman’s identity to Harry is a little underwhelming, and there’s little evidence available to see how he reaches this conclusion. I was also hoping that Aunt May would discover the secret. It’s also strange how everyone is connected to one company, though it does explain how Peter can be friends with Harry. But at least the legacy is protected which confines Peter to the city.

Erasure
Something is trying to change. It’s stopped the world around
it to make it happen. Is it going to change the outcome of the game that we’ve just
played? Will there be draughts on the table in place of chess pieces and a
different boxed game on the sofa? The colours in the room could change as a
result of different people not being around to make the decisions. Some of the
colours on the mantelpiece have already begun to change. Or she could be frozen
in time while everything around her ages. The pictures will stay the same,
though they might attract dust, and time will tell if the plant in the corner
is real or not. Much of the furniture will stay the same, though the colour of
the ceiling might be a little greyer. Maybe the view through the mirror will
give us a glimpse of the future.

Police bodycam footage shows Tiger Woods' arrest
Oh, how the mighty have fallen. They think they get away
with it and state that they need time to recover, but they still have to face
the consequences of the law. And now you can watch the moment of the arrest and
judge for yourself if you really want to. Of course they’re not going to confess
in the mainstream media. They don’t want to upset any current financial endorsements
that they have already. At first glance, he looks defiant and that he’s taking
the pose of a survivor and that he’s not scared. It’s hard to tell with
sunglasses masking his eyes. He might even be taking the knee. It’s nothing
extraordinary compared to other videos. Perhaps it’s to reassure people that he
will be treated well. But it’s going to be hard to him to work his way back to
the top and he has to hope that some people still believe in him.

Clean-Up #dreamdiary 218
I’m sitting around a large oval table. It’s supposed to seat eight people but there’s twelve of us. Some of us are sharing chairs. We’ve just celebrated a great final night of our festival but there’s a bigger day that awaits us tomorrow. Our primary objective is to clear everything down. We don’t only have the festival to take down; we’ve got to pack our own equipment away and we’ve got to get the public off site too. There’s still some vendors who want to trade tomorrow to cook breakfast for the campers, who won’t be early risers. Then we’ve got to sort between the rubbish, useful stuff that’s been abandoned and stuff that we think belongs to someone who’s not here. We have to do all this while people are out with their families enjoying the rest of the site. We see people we recognise from school with miniature versions of themselves on bikes while we’re wandering around with black bags.

The Scar
Wednesday, 25 March 2026
What if your brother stole something that was very important to you and wouldn't give it back?
You’d have to convince him otherwise that it’s not your
property. You could do this physically or through trickery or blackmail. You’d have
to get revenge in some form. You could steal something that’s important to him
and force him into a trade. Or you could seek help if you’re not able to
resolve the situation on your own. You could ask a parent to be a judge or call
a friend, sibling, or an enforcement authority for help and team up. One of you
could distract him while the other searches and retrieves the item. It might be
locked away so you might need to break something to gain access. You’d also
have to decide if the effort is worth it and what the consequences would be;
even though he’s in the wrong, and consider what has happened that has forced
him to take this action. Perhaps there’s a good reason that he’s done this, and
that he thinks that he’s acting in your best interests in the long run.
