It creates fantastically passionate arguments at the end because it's very hard to win:

"MIA?!?! MIA OBVIOUSLY WATCHES THE QUEEN'S SPEECH!"

"IF YOU HAD LISTENED, I SAID THE *KING'S* SPEECH, YOU BLOODY IDIOT, IT'S A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT DEMOGRAPHIC"

If you are like me and have a group of dorky 30-40 something friends I strongly suggest playing the game we invented: "Guess Who, but Only Vibes". the game is the same but you're not allowed to mention physical appearance, instead only vibes: e.g. "does this person own a cybertruck?"

Climb up primrose hill north of Regent's Park at sunset, don't look behind you at all, only turn around when you get to the top. There will be loads of locals there and it's the best view in London. Then walk north into Camden, eat at the market and go to Joe's for swing dancing ๐Ÿ™‚

I'm here wearing a t-shirt that says "killing children is always bad" and it turns out that's a slogan that needs to be intellectually debated instead of, you know, something that we can all agree on. People are mad at the t-shirt. It 'lacks nuance'. People lose their jobs for wearing the t-shirt

This is for NEXT WEEK. Absolutely outrageous that a ticket for a 170-mile journey is being priced at over ยฃ200. Why do we put up with this

This has got real "good news, we created the torment nexus from the popular science fiction novel 'Don't Create the Torment Nexus'" vibes to it

Oh just my macbook! I was editing remotely on location. I'm not colour grading, just exporting dailies and rough cuts at the moment, but there are quite a few night shots with below-legal blacks, which aren't tolerating the gamma shifts at all (I think). I'm not a colourist so am muddling through it

Ashley thank you! I knew it must be something to do with gamma shifting as my QT exports have been the bane of my existence for ages with Avid, but I didn't know how to fix it. Part of the reason why I moved to Resolve for delivery as Avid seems to gamma shift absolutely everything... Lifesaver โค๏ธ

Hi #postsky! Can someone good with Resolve explain why the colour balance of my exports is fine in H264/mp4 but goes completely down the toilet when I export in apple prores/mov (delivery spec)? I have the free version of Resolve so am paywalled out of tech support. Advice appreciated, I am new here

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.

I dunno if Keir Starmer has maybe thought that one of the reasons we have so many people claiming disability benefits and going off work sick is that they routinely have to wait years for treatments and diagnoses

I was just offered an appointment by the NHS pain management service. It is in 2026. What a joke
