incredible reaction to zohran winning

microsoft teams is actually good because if you're late for a meeting you can just say "sorry, i was trying to join but the teams app made me log in 3 times then just showed a loading icon for 5 minutes" and no one can really question it

DICK CHENEY'S DEAD!

Bluesky hivemind: Need to find a new PAYG SIM for an elderly relative's emergency non-smart mobile phone. Zero data needed because they don't use the internet at all, pretty minimal usage so won't be regularly topped up either. Does such a thing even exist from any provider anymore?

lol oops

Once again:

Please just let me type in the year I was born. No more scrolling. We don’t have to keep doing this to each other.

happy halloween from pumpkin Stoo 🎃

Support Marble Arch v McGoff group whose proposed high-rise 17 storey tower alongside the Grade II listed landmark threatens its famous sloping mosaic floor, its vaulted ceiling, its very foundations Much loved cask ale icon, always there. Housing, yes, but not the destruction of heritage/community.

That new Get The Shot track is really good. Was really sad to hear about JP leaving a while back given what a presence he was in the band, but new vocalist guy has really come out swinging. www.youtube.com/watch?v=mcFq...

Everyone talking about scary movies today is making me want to rewatch the excellent Jacob's Ladder again. You can really see the inspiration that Silent Hill 2 took from it and it's wild how many people haven't seen it before www.imdb.com/title/tt0099...

whoa that ArcTanGent initial lineup announcement is pretty goddamn good

ok I know I'm about 7 years late to the party here but I finally watched Get Out after meaning to for ages and it's fucking great. excellent movie. www.netflix.com/gb/title/801...

Artists behind some of the most popular films of all time are also forging one of the most powerful organized resistances to AI. With solidarity, class action lawsuits and strong legislation, they're fighting to protect their livelihoods, and pop culture, from big tech. My latest:

Won this incredibly special signed test pressing of the incredible new @baalbanduk.bsky.social album (along with a shirt, plus STICKERS!!) and it's absolutely wonderful. Beautiful artwork (shoutout @truespiltmilk.bsky.social again!) and fanastic music. Super chuffed with this 🖤

how goddamn cool is this?

At a fundamental level, we have to accept much of silicon valley has gone insane.

Seasonal reminder, Pumpkins make Hedgehogs sick, so don't leave any out where they can reach them.

Windy is such a cool weather app. It's legitimately terrifying when you look at the scale of things like hurricanes

For the love of all that's holy, please watch this with the sound on. I'm crying.

lmfao

This thread is a really good read for people unfamilar with how global networks need to operate these days and why using the hyperscalers like AWS/Azure/GCP is often unavoidable in many cases (in this case for Signal).

Please kill me

love this stupid heavy music I listen to. wouldn't have it any other way 🖤

so, who's doing Damnation this year?

New Cross Inn is such a cool little grassroots venue

i like when the road becomes a train and also a ladder appears, and then the train is the platform, also when the guy just jumps in the air for some reason

Last saw the incredible Stampin' Ground live 21 years ago back in Birmingham supporting Arch Enemy, and they absolutely stole the show. They were way ahead of their time and I'm so glad they're back playing live. Can't wait to relive that gig on Saturday at New Cross Inn 🤘 youtu.be/TJbWcWdaPHs?...

Some absolutely top notch orange cattery here

Are they trying to be this shit as a bit of performance art or something?

This is out now btw. 17 minutes of absolute misery - I love it. Get it down ya! mastiffhchc.bandcamp.com/album/for-al... (plus all the other usual places, but do try to support good bands and buy their stuff - it's well worth it!)

Mark Zuckerberg looks like he has one of those fake heads they use in cheap horror movie decapitations to roll around the floor. He looks like an unconvincing rubber head of himself. Including the dollar store wig.

New @mastiffhchc.bsky.social EP is fucking excellent and comes out 'officially' tomorrow. Pick it up and go feel angry and miserable (in a good way). Excellent music and an excellent message. Top notch cover artwork from the always-great @truespiltmilk.bsky.social as well 🖤

Sonoma by the excellent @trackbrewingco.bsky.social is one of the most consistently good British pales out there. Love this stuff an incredible amount and great to see it back on at @radiocitysocial.bsky.social 🖤
