I feel this might be a new record - B&M selling Christmas gifts in August 😮

Seeing as yesterday's article popped off a bit, I woke up this morning and decided to turn it into a video. The kids yearn for the videos, after all.

I wish I knew why, despite having a terrible memory for most things, the mere mention of "crushing grapes" during the Friday afternoon quiz at work, made me mentally jump to Stu Francis on Crackerjack, circa 1984 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa2Z... CW: 1980s "humour" and Keith Harris.

Listening back to some old interview podcasts from 2020. Not sure which is more jarring, the discussions of lockdown changes interspersed with urgent warnings from the government, downloaded at the time. Or, with newly downloaded versions, jaunty ads for going outside and doing things™.

do not let anyone tell you that empathy is a weakness 💪 empathy is strength ✅ empathy is necessary ♂️ empathy is masculine ♀️ empathy is feminine 🙌 empathy is admirable 😘 empathy is sexy without it, we lose our humanity.

It's Monday again 🫠 Life is hard enough, so please be soft and kind to yourself and others. Today and every other day of the week ❤️

Today, I swear that TikTok is recommending more videos by fun American creators I've never seen before now, like they're rubbing the US ban in.

Prescribed some medication to help with my insomnia. "May cause drowsiness" I'd be more worried if it didn't 🤣

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia. Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

What would happen if a pasty and antipasti came into contact? 🤔 #randomthought

Running the dishwasher and charging my home batteries when electricity is -0.55p/kWh feels like cheating.

A new @captaindisillusion.bsky.social video with a cameo from @misterabk.bsky.social ? Don't mind if I do! www.youtube.com/watch?v=2yCj...

Google's AI search results muddling up the lifespan of an EVs battery and the 12V battery 🤦

After a little break, I'm back on Twitch at 7pm tonight playing Indiana Jones and the Great Circle. I'd love to see you there! twitch.tv/leeky

Since Bluesky's logo is a butterfly, should we all be fluttering / reflutter rather than posting or tweeting..? 🤔

Remember, secure your own mental health before supporting others

I've been meaning to cut down my usage of Amazon Prime and ordering directly from other companies. First time and my parcel has gone missing at the courier. They keep sending updates that seem like outright lies at this point. We've come along way from "allow 28 days for delivery", but also not.

Saw something recently that resonated. If you manage folks with ADHD you have to understand their motivators: Novelty Interest Challenge Urgency Passion If something is boring and non-urgent for example, it’s very difficult to do. You *cannot* motivate by threatening consequences.

If you’re tired of the yule log for the holidays… youtu.be/_cgTVTwu4nw?...

I assume it's the M&S awards and/or Christmas party tonight. Just passed a man in a tuxedo, carrying three plush Percy Pigs with Santa hats.

In case anyone doesn’t appreciate the hard work of sound designers, here’s a clip from Doctor Who, in the TARDIS, but with only the original sound recorded in the studio - www.youtube.com/watch?v=piEA...

I wonder how long we've got here before another billionaire loses a bet and ends up ruining it. I wish more folks had moved to Mastodon. The negative reaction to having to pick a server and many not understanding what that means, shows how used to walled gardens we've become 😞

Going live shortly continuing my playthrough of #AlanWake2, starting at 7pm UK time - twitch.tv/leeky
