And I'll never get over my desire for a Picard show that's just him, retired in his vineyard, having quiet local adventures, solving gentle unimportant mysteries every other week or so.
Every now and then he'd ring up an old friend for some help, or they'd drop in to ask his advice.
And that's all.
Look, Picard was... okay. I liked quite a lot of it, but I recognised that a fair bit of that was just getting to spend time with those characters again.
Along with Discovery, I *really* disliked the "Trek, but without optimism" direction it took.
hey @eizebasa.bsky.social wanna feel several emotions in rapid succession
After reading this, my old policy of “probably don’t get in a Tesla” is now a new policy of “never ever get in a Tesla, what the fuck.”
Well this is disappointingly vile - cultbox.co.uk/news/bbc-to-...

You guys, don't steal from the Plagiarism Guild. It's not cool. They worked hard to steal those artworks.

Altman's catalogue could fill a whole list (also, surprise Arnie!).
I watched Blowout too young, and found it deeply discomforting and unsatisfying - but it stuck with me. Revisiting it years later, it's still just as discomforting, but I can see now why I could never forget it.
(... also, and I will die on this hill, "Hudson Hawk". It failed spectacularly to be what those making it thought it was, and somehow emerged as this brilliantly surreal comedic caper. But I do recognise that if it doesn't work for someone, it falls very flat.)
"La double vie de Véronique" - A film without answers. Made me feel emotions I can't name. Alt ending was shot for the US, but for once it in no way diminishes the work.
"Brassed Off" - far better IMO than "Full Monty", and Pete Postlethwaite is superb.
"Heat" - Maybe Mann's best work.
(3/3)
"OSS 117 : Le Caire, nid d'espions" - an exquisitely accurate looking satirical pastiche of 60s spy films.
"Hunt for the Wilderpeople" - Awkward, warm, funny, and very New Zealand.
(2/3)
Good list. If you've not seen them, here's a mix of stuff I'd rate 5:
"Children of Men" - feels more grimly prophetic every day.
"Two Hands" - Heath Ledger's breakout role and one of the top three Larrikin Aussie Gangster films.
"The Fifth Element" - Métal Hurlant meets Hollywood.
(1/3)
This is a great thing to read on a week when I have to take mandatory time off work to go to the job centre in person so that they can crawl through my bank statements to establish if we will keep receiving child tax credits now that they have been absorbed into Universal Credit.
Dunno if it'd help, have you got the ability to join a union? That should at lest give you the right to have a rep with you in such meetings.
Always good to have someone on your side...

Child 1 wanted me to pick an image to set for my contact in their phone.
No problem.
One of the delightful perils of The Other Site before it went bad was diving in to Colin's Rec Thread during a Steam sale, and coming out with at least half a dozen weird unique indie games added to your library.
Highly recommended, can't wait to see what's made the list!
Tech-bros will unironically state that a person creating art is functionally equivalent to a worker making a buggy whip, then turn around and complain that unions are impeding their disruptive business.

... but on the plus side, I do now have a functional Arch system without all the extra bloat and wasted time of an EndeavorOS install (heavy sarcasm).
Hyprland is pretty, tho.
guess what i found out existed when i used tab completion for arch-chroot
there was some swearing involved
hey.
hey.
do me a favour.
go to the arch linux installation guide linked from their homepage
and, like, ctrl f for the string "archinstall"
.... yeah.
exhscuse me I thinck you mean GNU/Linux, I would explain in more detail but unfortunately this is not possible due to posting limits and I refuse to explain if I cannot be entirely precise about the exact reason for requiring this specific naming convention, please see my detailed essay on usenet.
Decided to suck it up and try installing Arch from scratch.
... i deeply regret this choice.
