The world is falling to pieces, but at least I got another 3-4-5-6 in Quordle Sequence. Daily Sequence Quordle 1523 3️⃣4️⃣ 5️⃣6️⃣ m-w.com/games/quordle/

I don't know what Rupert Holmes was thinking. Getting caught in the rain sucks!

It seems like that for some parents there are only two magical fantasy stories allowed for their kids. Frozen and Harry Potter. That's it, nothing else. There's so much more, make new things and adapt some proven classics, please!

And by "economic stimulus" they mean "making manufacturers grovel and pay tribute to the mad king in order to keep selling their products"

Thinking about making a Lego Labyrinth MOC. I figure I'll have to build a Ludo by hand, so this is my first play.

Cyndi Lauper's album cover for She's So Unusual really is quite incredibly good.

They say Banksy's real name is Robin. Has nobody twigged to the pun "Robin Banks"?

When I was at school my friend Aden and I went to the Staff Room to ask a teacher something. When she came to the door she said "And what can I do for you motley crew?" To which Aden says "Motley Crue? Awesome!" This was five years before Bill and Ted made the same misapprehension with Iron Maiden.

I can't believe there are still radio ads using the trite meaningless phrase "there's never been a better time". It's been decades and they haven't evolved a whit.

We would probably have been fine if we had never invented the Z. I don't think its absence would have been missed.

REIGN OF FIRE (2002)

The last four animated feature Oscar winners have been quite diverse picks now that Disney/Pixar has lost its stranglehold on the category

I hope *movie I've never seen starring people I have never heard of* wins.

After @hankgreen.bsky.social talked about the Warrior Cats, I looked up their books on Amazon, and they have this image, where the books spines are shown in reverse order so the carefully constructed image that should be displayed is all higgledy-piggledy.

I think Friday the 13th should move around the calendar like Easter does, so that one day it will fall on April 1st and cause utter chaos across the world to dickhead pranksters.

Certified mad man Colin Furze creates a hover board.

If you think you need genAI to make your art, I think that’s sad and self-defeating and will lead to badly derivative art, but that’s not why I oppose it. GenAI was built unethically, is maintained exploitatively, often to enrich the worst people, and is environmentally disastrous. That’s why.

There's a Tintin Lego set coming. But as iconic an image as the rocket from Destination Moon is, it's not the part of Tintin that appeals to me. I'd rather have an adventure scenario diorama than just one isolated object. Shame it's a one-off and no more will be developed.

I'll tell you what, sneezing with your mouth full is not a fun time.

Another vintage Lego Pirates redesign! This time it's 1989's Sabre Island! I admit I went a little overboard (har har), but I'm so happy with the result! 🏴‍☠️ #lego #afol #legocommunity #legosets #legomocs #vintagelego #legopirates #pirates #island #sharks #raft #potc #piratesofthecaribbean

“explosively controversial” blatantly illegal

Oh boy! What a headline... Ask yourself: "What am I being asked to believe?" "Who am I being told to blame?" Take a few seconds to imagine what the Daily Mail (And Telegraph, GB News and Express) WANT you to think is going on. Let's see what's ACTUALLY happening...🧵 1/21

Today we have published new analysis building on the Committee's advice on the UK’s Seventh Carbon Budget. Our conclusions about the cost of decarbonising the UK and impacts on energy security were tested against different scenarios ⬇️ Read the full report here: www.theccc.org.uk/publication/...

#Ellis is back. I really like Andrew Gower's character. He usually plays simpering ineffectual types, but in this he's confident and competent. It's typical for a DS to be an audience surrogate and ask the dumb questions of the DCI, but he's much more proactive here.

One of the things that really trips a lot of analysts, including ones with real skin in the game, is that they refuse - absolutely refuse - to accept how stupid Trump very obviously is. He has no knowledge of anything, is incapable of learning, and only remembers the last thing to happen to him.

I often think about the unfortunate person at the end of the 'somebody always has it worse' chain.

@tvtonight.com.au Look how colourful your thumbnails are.

So I just discovered my mom has -- in storage -- this original complete set of Encyclopedia Britannica she bought for us in the 1980s -- that I thought she had sold when we moved house. When I found out I screamed in the sibling group chat! I now have dibs, and will lovingly cherish it til I die.

Australia’s @shebahride.bsky.social already does this for women and children, with reasonable fees for passengers and better pay for drivers.

#CallTheMidwife is not ending, but it sort of is ending. It's transitioning into a new form. Sister Julienne will be going 'Walkabout' in Australia. Full circle.

#ProTip: When choosing a password to hide your nefarious activities behind, don't choose something that is sitting on your desk. TV detectives see through that one so easily.

Ooh! I got a 3-4-5-6 on regular Quordle. That's a rarity! 🙂 Daily Quordle 1505 6️⃣5️⃣ 4️⃣3️⃣ m-w.com/games/quordle/

I am watching the comedy movie #FackhamHall and Tom Felton reminds me of James Bolam.

simonoxfphys on insta Wind turbines kill birds, yes but...

I am still regularly posting to a very active message board that I've been a member of since 1999.

I am all for redemption. I believe in it. I don’t think it guarantees you “good politician” status. Maybe he should help someone else without all the baggage to run for the working class, like someone who isn’t rich and actually is from the working class

This would be a good title for a 1960s British caper comedy. Starring Michael Crawford, Eric Sykes, and Paula Wilcox.

A beautiful clear blue sky. Where was that on eclipse night?

Big deal 2025 movies that have already been forgotten. Snow White Elio Happy Gilmore 2 The Naked Gun reboot The Thursday Murder Club Tron Ares The Running Man

When someone says „Scientists do not want you to know“ you can dismiss everything from there on. Scientists want you to know. They are desperate that you know. They can’t shut up about what they found out and want you to know.

Sadly, it was very overcast here in Melbourne so a no show for us.

Richard Osman is quitting House Of Games. The timing seems right to me, because I'm starting to get a bit bored with it. Obviously this proves all television should cater to my whims.

That's virtually every cancer, though. Almost none are curable; we just say 'cure' because people understand that and will donate so we can invent better treatments.

There's a lunar eclipse tonight, but I suspect the clouds will have something to say about that.

This Saturday will be NYT Connections number 1000. Expect it to be all internet meme references or movie frame captures or something equally wacky.

It's March, which indicates the beginning of Autumn, and the weather has decided to mark it cleanly with oppressively low cloud and a lot of rain. Rude.
