There is certainly something inspiring about the fact that the winner of the Gorton and Denton by-election is the only one whose party didn't spend their time being nasty about the other ones. Dirty tactics are, as it turns out, no match for a hopeful message and basic human decency.
The worst thing about #mewgenics is the not insignificant amount of mental energy needed to resist singing the soundtrack in the office.
US "Don't invade a foreign country to steal all their oil" challenge, difficulty level: impossible
Let me know if Dragonmeet ever finds itself on your schedule... We go most years.
It all stems from the idea of "something I do should trigger something... But I don't need to know what that is."
Makes it easier to trigger more stuff later on, as you don't need to change anything in the code of the "triggerer" to do that.
Watched #WakeUpDeadMan. Rian Johnson does not miss. Ever. I want more Benoit Blanc films every three years for as long as Johnson and Craig are around to do them.
So much of Linux is "here are 20 great things that make sense plus one thing that makes everything 20x more difficult"
Missed "of my mind" on the first read and thought "jesus what's in your fridge"
I hope so... There are two approaches we usually see when someone fucks up horribly... The Dan Harmon (apologise, take responsibility, vow to be a better person, demonstrate growth) and the JK Rowling (never admit any fault, double down, become an unrepentant shithead, make everything worse for all)
So uhhhh, I composed a soundtrack for an audio drama! Episode 1 is available at all the usual podcasty locations, and new episodes go up on Mondays. Go and check it out!
Phelddagrif is an anagram of "Garfield PhD"... Richard Garfield famously doesn't like being referred to in that way, so the card being called that is a friendly bit of ribbing
Sokath, his eyes uncovered!
I mean he didn't NOT do it
Ah yes, one of the all stars in my Volo "obscure creature types" deck
Gotta love HTTP 418
Honestly the Hulk. Most of Ruffalo Hulk's character development has seemingly happened off screen, and there is such an opportunity to explore the grief and trauma that we know really created the Hulk persona (seeing his cousin able to hulk out without going insane should *shatter* his world view)
Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is one of the most powerful gaming experiences I've had in years. Bursting at the seams with creativity and poignancy. #forthosewhocomeafter
The Naked Gun (2025) is great. I can't remember laughing that hard in a cinema. I sincerely hope it ends up as a box office success, the movie world has been sorely lacking this kind of "1 billion stupid jokes written cleverly" humour.
That flavour text reminds me of something... Ach, I'll have to come back to it.
When Spaceballs 2 comes out, Mel Brooks will be 100 years old. Will he be the oldest ever active filmmaker?
I'm personally very fond of "don't look in that mirror! It's absolutely furious!"
Finally a show about Boolean logic operators
There can be no arguments to the contrary as this is correct.
Literally my only complaint about HG/SS is that you have to beat the game to unlock the Gameboy soundtrack.
Now it's finished, I can confidently say #Andor is the best thing Star Wars has ever done, by miles. It's not even close.
Very occasionally, a piece of media inspires great joy in me about the fact that I'm alive in a time where I can experience it.
So anyway #Andor is spectacular. In my view, the best thing Star Wars has ever done. And it's not even close.
Something something "don't talk such rot" something
Days like today are when I like to make some of my opinions public... I think significantly less of people who still buy Harry Potter stuff. Every time you pay for a game, book, movie, tourist experience, etc., that disgusting bigot gets a little richer and humanity a little poorer. #transrights
One of the many things Picard Season 3 did its part atoning for is her lack of decent opportunities to act
Good luck to everyone doing #ldjam! I sadly won't be participating, but I hope there's some really cool ideas out there.
Glad you have ways around it... Good luck for smooth running of the event! I'll sadly have to miss this one and likely the next few as well but one day I'll get back into it
