Ok, so the Easter Bunny brought baskets for the dogs. Jasper got a fun chocolate bunny, and Holly got Dirty Sanchez. Seems legit…. IYKYK Holly! Even Alex agrees!
Glad Påsk!
It’s Rex Manning Day!
Damn the man!
Save the Empire!

Murderbot Is ‘More Relatable Than Most Characters I’ve Played’, Says Alexander Skarsgård via Empire
By Ben Travis | Published on 8th April 2025 at 7.09am
Alexander Skarsgård has played all kinds of roles over the years. He’s been a centuries-old vampire; a vengeful viking; a writer having a very, very bad holiday. But nothing has quite spoken to him like his latest role: Murderbot, in Murderbot. He’s taking on the lead role in Apple TV+’s adaptation of Martha Wells’ The Murderbot Diaries novels, playing a security cyborg who – to its own inconvenience – starts to relate more and more to humanity, whilst deriding our mortal foibles.
“Ironically, I found Murderbot more relatable than most characters I’ve ever played,” Skarsgård tells Empire in a major new career-spanning interview – particularly as a character who’s always on the outside, looking in on the rest of society. “There’s a social awkwardness, or just trying to figure out how to fit into a group,” he says.
While the story of Murderbot – created for TV by Chris and Paul Weitz – unfolds in a sci-fi milieu, there’s a comedic element too, through Murderbot’s detached view of the world. “It’s not interested in humans, humans are idiots,” says Skarsgård. “It’s kind of appalled by them, and it’s been treated horribly by all its clients up until this moment. But then it ends up on this weird planet with this weird group of humans that are outside the corporate system, and they don’t believe in indentured servitude, they want to talk to Murderbot and invite Murderbot in, instead of storing it in the tool shed, like other clients have done, and that freaks Murderbot out.” Maybe we’re all a bit Murderbot – get ready for the most relatable show of 2025.
So, here’s my 2 cents: I’m 72 and if that nearly 50y/o golden child arrived at my door, he would be welcomed (both body & soul) in for a fun time or more, in spite of those 22 years between us. And I would probably lock the house & keep him trapped inside c

I hope this anon remembers this when THEY are almost 50. 🙄
This is nothing different from things we've seen from Alexander in the past. I'd rather see someone enjoying life and destigmatizing different forms of love rather than someone who wants to suck the joy out of the world.
Our man looks HOT and HAPPY. Let's celebrate that, hmm?

Hmmmm, I think maybe the photog said “we need to make sure that boot isn’t hurting you - show us your left tit!” And Alex (as he would) hid that nipple & said with just a bit of side eye, “let’s meet later for that…”
I must applaud your segue, catcat!
