Coming from someone who as no grip on reality at the best of times, this is pretty funny.

Stormy space weather may be garbling messages from aliens, new research suggests Researchers who listen for signs of non-human life say signals ‘can slip below detection thresholds, even if it’s there’

This was a fantastic episode about WW1 observers.

Nice. Had not come across that remix before.

It's important to have aspirational goals

Channelling @thatjeffsmith.com, I used a containerized Docker Oracle 23ai database to store my Netflix viewing data and also sync my IMDB watch list with a calendar. Claude has been great at putting a python solution together with minimal bumps in the road.

Death to America.

All I need is a pair of happy dogs.

Perhaps now, the Nobel Committee will give Trump the Piss Prize, for cocking everything up, everywhere, all at once.

FIFA's crawling to Trump made my skin crawl. Listening to BBC World Service (as I normally do) and have to mute it whenever they play Trump's announcements on these strikes. I don't need to hear that fucktard.

Get those kittens!

Building StreamSync: How I Solved My “What’s On Tonight?” Problem A streaming calendar that actually knows what I want to watch The Problem Every Streaming Subscriber Knows Picture this: You're subscribed to Netflix, Prime Video, Disney+, HBO Max, and Hulu. You've got a carefully curated IMDB watchlist with dozens of shows you want to catch. And yet, somehow, you keep missing new episodes because you can't remember which show airs when, on which platform.

Nice hovel you have there.

Dear El Mencho Cartel - it's all Donald Trump's fault. You can probably find him at Mar-a-Largo.

GDPR article 21 means you can email these fucktards and tell them to desist...

America is getting fucked up the arse by Trump and Vance daily.

Rab C is the best

How to Export Your Apple Photos Library to Adobe Lightroom Classic (With a Python Script) TL;DR: I built a Python script that exports your entire Apple Photos library—with albums, faces, favourites, and edits—into a folder structure that Lightroom Classic can import cleanly. It's incremental, so you can run it again without creating duplicates. The Problem If you've ever tried to move from Apple Photos to Adobe Lightroom Classic, you know the pain.

Excellent trip to Strasbourg today. Good food, excellent guide and with the time of year (and weather), minimal tourists.

Do we give a flying grue?

Fuck ICE and their goon squad tactics. I think they should be renamed DJT - Don's Jackboot Thugs. They may have a professional core of agents following what is allowed by the law, but the rest of them, especially the new recruits, tend to be knuckle dragging thugs.

And those vague "do you trust running macros in this document" messages.

That's the entrance to our secret nuclear bunker.

Ah, Visual Basic macros. All good here, nothing to see. Except at least VBA macros could be just plain wrong but they didn't make shit up.

Some bunny's going to get buttered up tonight.

I put it there to get the shot and immediately put it back, LOL.

Thanks for explaining the mystery - quite the process. Of note, I attended the Duke of York Royal Military School starting in 1979 and we used to love exploring the old trenches and war leftovers, including wide sections filled with rusty old barbed wire. A wonder none of us got lockjaw.
