Petition for this to come to Sheffield

@helpsheffield.co.uk I'm looking for someone with a Van to help move some furniture to a new house and wondered if anyone had any recommendations? I'm only going one street over so only really need someone for an hour, at most 2 trips.

Some great views from the roof gardens on the new buildings at work

It warms my heart that Sheffield has a Laurel and Hardy society.

Even taking into account Americanisms it’s weird to see the @nytimes.com crossword get a spelling wrong. According to the company (and society) the plural of Lego is in fact ‘Lego’.

A 1% tax hike on assets worth more than £4m would raise an extra £25bn a year for the treasury. Just a thought.

Good time at Chillcon today. Not very often a wargaming convention comes to my own postcode!

I feel being able to stream Final Fantasy XIV over Xbox Live doesn’t get enough positive press. Having to download constant updates is the bane of any MMO. Here they got rid of the whole need for it.

Lots of emergency services vehicles outside Sheffield City Library this morning. Has the roof finally collapsed? @helpsheffield.bsky.social

Since tackling the Monster sketch I reckon Robert Eggers should work on a Swiss Toni biopic.

@captain2phones.bsky.social Did you have chance to check out the Nokia Design Archive. There are some great insights into their design processes and all sorts of c2000 concepts. nokiadesignarchive.aalto.fi/index.html?n...

www.datacenterdynamics.com/en/news/virg... I can't be the only one whose phone defaults to 3G in areas of weak signal, surely?

Street artist and Hallam alumni Peachzz is up for a Best Mural of the World award! 🎉 She has been nominated for her biggest mural so far, Reverie, which is inspired by Sheffield's canals. Vote for her here: streetartcities.com/awards/2024 @streetartsheffield.com #StreetArt #Sheffield #Art

@jamiedyer89.bsky.social Good to see you on Bluesky :) I know it's fallen by the wayside now but if you're ever interested in resurrecting the old Renford podcast I'm always up for a chat.

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... Of Mice and Men shouldn’t be dropped due to cultural reasons. But it should be dropped because it’s been on the syllabus for over 30 years! There are hundreds of other classic novels they could include, from Jules Verne to Ursula Le Guin.

@helpsheffield.bsky.social The afford council school closures website seems to be down. Anyone up early enough to collate? We’ve a message Forge Valley is closed today.

Cosy blanket. Warm house. Cup of tea. Biscuits. Suikoden 2 on the PS Vita. Marvellous.

For anyone who may need these over Xmas…just in case

Thunderbird 3 on standby for NASA’s Sun Probe mission

Sonic 3 was good fun. Quite nice to be in a cinema full of children laughing at all the dad jokes. It’s easy to forget who these movies are aimed at.

Finally! #Balatro

Fantastic turnout for the Bradford Tractor Rally/Wadsley Church Carols. Who said social media has killed local communities?

Here's an update on our eviction battle. Thanks for all your continued support, it means the world to us ❤️

The Uni of Sheffield Arts Tower looking dramatic in the fog tonight.

I don’t need a gaming catchup of 2024 to know that all it will do is say ‘Balatro’ on it.

Anyone coming through Waterloo station today - I'm part of a 12hr carol marathon in aid of oasiswaterloo.org/food bank - come say hello!

www.theverge.com/24314821/mic... If the only portal between humans and information is an AI that cannot fact check itself, what guarantees do we even have this the things it says are not manipulated somehow?

I like to think of @theguardian.com as a forward thinking news outlet yet year after year they still treat video games, the most popular entertainment medium on the planet with snobbish derision. @mackeza.bsky.social and co do a brilliant job otherwise and should demand more from their editors.

www.yankodesign.com/2024/12/08/t... 3D Rendering software company releases a white paper stating that 3D rendering will replace product photography?! That doesn’t sound biased at /all/.

www.theverge.com/2024/12/6/24... Looks like we’re one step closer to the Glinthawk stealing your seaside chips in the year 3024

I guess nobody @polygon.com played SSX3 then? Tricky was wonderful at the time but it’s clunky now. There is a reason you can still buy the third game on Xbox.

I know Sci-Fi has been influencing designers for decades but a Cartoon Network show from 2006 is a new one.

@ammosart.bsky.social Alison! Good to see you’ve made the migration. Been a minute. How are you doing?

I’d very rarely call out a subjective list article but how can you have a list of the top 20 Denzel Washington movies and not include Remember the Titans at all?! www.theguardian.com/film/2024/no...

Every time I go to London I check in on the only person I’ve found to drive a sane car around the narrow city streets.

@helpsheffield.bsky.social Sheffield community photographer here always happy to volunteer to capture local events in the S6 and S10 areas. I have references!

Kensington High Street at Christmas. Easily my favourite stretch of London

The best Tramlines line-up ever? #sheffield #tramlines
