Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama. Us: Across your entire career? Reiner: In a 6 year period. Us: That sounds- Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.

The head of MI6 was previously Q. Your actual real life Q. The coolest nerd job.

Open Al just hired a new revenue chief to figure out how to make money. WHY DIDNT THEY JUST ASK CHAT GPT IF IT'S SO GOOD?

Since everyone is talking about Paul Dano, I think he's fantastic in the BBC War and Peace series.

It's the oldest advice in the book: don't let the bastards grind you down.

Wow, Netflix just bought everything. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Looks good. m.youtube.com/watch?v=s9gS...

I'm trying to pay more attention to FOSS apps. I used to use Firefox religiously on desktop, but moved away from it. I tried it again and.. what's wrong with them? It seems to be missing so many little conveniences. Don't they get a bazillion dollars from Google?

So Mozilla gets millions of dollars from Google to be the default search on Firefox, but they haven't figured a way to put a daily rotating wallpaper on the new tab page?

Is it true that side loading is going away on android? F droid and all that? Not cool, Google. www.theregister.com/2025/09/29/g...

"Get in!" "But-" "NOW." "Okay..." "Were you followed?" "What?" "WERE YOU FOLLOWED?" "I don't think so." "You have your passport?" "I'm not sure." "Never mind, open the glovebox." "Alright. Hey, wha-" "You know how to use that?" "Frank, what-?" "Better get used to calling me Jim."

I was going to check you could look after my pet salamander, but I don't want to axolotl of you.

Bill Nighy reads a bit of Ford Maddox Ford. pca.st/episode/f639...

Making a molehill out of a mountain.

Dude. Notely Voice app. Super simple notes app that uses a local model to do transcription. I like that. All local and offline.

Seal-killer pod catch? I've been listening to too many true crime shows. I feel like there's a pun in there somewhere. Too tired. Going to bed. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

I'd never really noticed just how wasteful Pringles cans are. Metal, plastic and cardboard in one product just to keep some crisps safe.

Ah... Getting rid of the penguin logo makes more sense now, if they're pitching it more as a general purpose payments service rather than something associated specifically with trains.

This is a shame. It's one of the more tolerable mascots. Maybe they can add some more eyes, like Myaku-Myaku.

Pretty good history of the first transatlantic telegraph cable. Fascinating, I'd watch this movie. www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

YouTube: here's a great channel you'll like! Also YouTube: That channel quit last month.

Quentin Wilson died. I always liked him on the old school Top Gear, when it was actually about cars. And Fifth Gear, of course.

All our cultural items like the internet, music, movies etc would disappear tomorrow due to an IT crisis. Yet we can still see the work of some dude who used his finger to create art on a cave wall 4,000 years ago. I don't think we've come as far as we think we have.

Why is it that the majority of Netflix films have an air of unreality about them? The titles *sound* like movies but are bland and generic, and the thumbnails have recognizable faces but with dead eyes. Like simulations of films...

Following Prince Andrew’s titles being removed, Prince Edward becomes the Duke Of York. Basically, it all shifts up one. For instance, I’m now my next door neighbour, Pauline Cathcart.

Interview with the writers of A House of Dynamite www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

Although I was reminded of this...

I just gotta say again, House of Dynamite is so good. Terrifying stuff. Had to watch twice in a row.

Oh man, House of Dynamite is absolutely terrifying.

@notesnook.com Hi team. I noticed that biometric protection was removed from the free plan. I understand why, but was there any warning of this? I feel like there should have been a notification that protection was going to be removed.

It's a bit outrageous that notesnook removed the password protection from their app to put it behind the paywall without notice. I didn't see any notification that 'your protected notes will no longer be protected'.

I've only recently watch the 2016 movie Sing, and I really liked it. It's got a lot of heart.

My friend only eats honey for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It sounds like it should be simple but she really makes a miel of it.

Just seen an ad for a cheap online shop offering 1kg of sausages for 0 yen. What a revolting concept.

Wherever I see this kind of headline, I'm reminded of this sketch from The @aiannucci.bsky.social Shows. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QbvO...

If Levar Burton taught me anything growing up it's... well, always be on the lookout for a dilithium build up in the warp coils But if he taught me TWO things, it's find out what books are banned, go to your local library, check it out and read it Banned books are almost like a summer reading list

As much as I like Louis Theroux as a documentary maker and an interviewee, I don't really rate his more formal interview technique on his podcast.

The TV shows they make in the 60s were absolute bangers weren't they. Star Trek, Thunderbirds, Man from UNCLE, The Avengers (the British ones), etc

I'm enjoying the Simpsons Declassified podcast by Nancy Cartwright. I haven't watched the Simpsons in ages, but I know some of the older episodes by heart. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s...

This is indeed a lovely, free beautiful little game you can play in your browser. Very pleasant. www.theverge.com/games/790377...

The latest episode of @threebeansaladpod.bsky.social is about Sunday Roasts. I haven't listened to it yet, but isn't every episode basically about Sundays Roasts?

why do people say 'pun not intended' and not punintentional

Simon Pegg on Desert Island Discs. Because I like Simon Pegg. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...

On the one hand, Big Tech is telling us that technology will make everything more efficient and productive, on the other this guy telling you to work more. Can't have it both ways, mate. www.theverge.com/news/786981/...

Sabrina Carpenter is Bart Simpson's niece. That's blown my mind.

@antennapod.org After trying it out for a couple of days, Antennapod got promoted to my home screen 👍

I rarely have to buy shinkansen tickets so I never realized what a pain in the arse it is.
