I wish you could also buy versions of products that did not have child-proof caps on.

Approaching midday and it's a toasty 8°C outside.

#TheSheepDetectives is like Shaun The Sheep crossed with Hot Fuzz.

For a moment I thought this was a new movie, authentically made to look old and groovy. Until I saw Olivia Newton John. In fact it's an old movie that had never been released, it was shelved for 55 years due to a pay dispute.

Everyone at work keeps trying to convince me to watch the soccer with them. They don't seem to understand how much I loathe all sport.

Like many other kids who watched this episode of Happy Days in the late 70s, I got to be pretty good at coin snatching for a while.

My era of Starlog was when there was lots of Star Trek going on. Good luck figuring out when that was.

By now AI search algorithms should have figured out that I'm not interested in AI at all and determined that I just want to be left alone in peace.

In addition, some Dems still refuse to back taxing the rich/corporations, will not vote to bar Congress from trading stocks, and seem a bit too comfortable using their positions to enrich themselves and keep their power instead of fighting for regular people.

Dude!! I actually DID something like that about 10 years ago, buying shares in a mildly more environmentally friendly refrigerant chemical company, but sold them again because they did bugger all. (Not patient enough.)

One of my colleagues decided to quit, with his last day today. Though I am def going to miss him, as he was a good decent person to work alongside with great skills, I could tell that various stressful factors were really causing him to crumble. I hope a new direction will give him some relief.

Are we certain this isn't a Harry Enfield sketch?

Solutions to all the world's problems #cartoon

The clouds at lunch time today were all droopy and weird.

He is just coming out to kick off National Chocolate Éclair day.

Gardasil can now be administered up to age 45, and even if you have a strain of HPV. It won't treat/cure that strain, but will protect you against any of the other 9 strains that can cause cancer.

Shortest day, longest night. Happy solstice, everyone! All praise Luna the Moon Goddess.

Back in the late 70s these two shows would play on New Zealand television on Friday nights.

Duncan Jones’ Rogue Trooper premieres at Annecy on Monday, so before then here’s the big low down on the making of #RogueTrooper from @manmademoon.bsky.social and producer Stuart Fenegan over on @animag.bsky.social www.animationmagazine.net/2026/06/anne...

I know I've looked through this. I think a friend of mine owned it, or maybe it was in the School Library.

My next door neighbours are installing something on their roof, but based only on its beginnings, I can't figure out what it is going to be. I'm pretty sure it's not solar panels, as it's the wrong side of the roof (west) and the brackets don't look right anyway.

Dozing in my chair and dribbling is not a good look. Ugh. So old, so tired.

If I ever build myself a Sail Barge, I'll make sure the aft cannon can't be pivoted to face down at the main deck.

The bus home was at least 10mins late every single day this week.

Booo! I say Boooo!

He's definitely blaming all this on Dick Tracy.

The problem with #TheHardacres, aside from the clichés, is that everything seems to work out for them too easily. Their good fortune seems endless, their obstacles barely a blip.

A very thorough record of the lyrics.

I was cleaning my closet and found these. Decades ago, I stole them from my Mom's office. I treasure them. Kids don't know how easy they have it.

Even if AI was a good reliable useful tool that didn't ruin lives and the environment or steal from creators, the crazed rush to implement it in absolutely everything has been madness.

Sometimes it seems like all entertainment assumes everyone has an attention span of a goldfish.

A pair of twins just got on the bus. They are dressed identically including sunglasses.

Cup Fever:

I'm getting The Owl House vibes.

"Pushing the sinister woke recycling agenda, the wombles are corrupting the minds of the youth, threatening to turn them into future eco-warrior lefty loons!" The daily mail, probably 😂

Remember when Will Poulter was a big deal, until he wasn't? And remember when Bill Skarsgard was a big deal, until he wasn't? And then remember when Glen Powell was a big deal, until he wasn't? Good luck, Josh O'Connor.

Hold everything. I got a 2-3-4-5!!! 🙂 Daily Quordle 1604 3️⃣4️⃣ 2️⃣5️⃣ m-w.com/games/quordle/

I haven't tested myself, but I'm quite sure I'm a super-taster as I match all the symptoms. Here's a very good article about it.

It's still got two weeks to flesh itself out, but until then, next month's TV schedule is looking a little sparse. This is a handy service from www.pogdesign.co.uk

I watched the new #Anaconda last night. I'm not sure why it was made, they must have had a few million dollars sitting around doing nothing, but it was an okay waste of a couple of hours.

Ooh. I got a 3-4-5-6 again. Though it was an easy one, I suppose. 🙂 Daily Quordle 1602 4️⃣5️⃣ 3️⃣6️⃣ m-w.com/games/quordle/

No scaffolding here

This would be a fun night.

I just—like, sure, being a trillionaire is cool I guess but what’s it all for if you haven’t even seen the wreckage of the titanic firsthand

The European dawn chorus of birdsong is all "twiddly twiddly squeeky squeeky whisper whisper". Whereas the Australian dawn chorus is all "WARK WARK GAHHHH SNARKY SNORKY BRRRRRRRR AWAHOOO". No wonder I get woken early on weekends.

Both McKenna Grace and Abby Ryder Fortson are in the new Scooby Doo show. I'm surprised Paul Rudd isn't involved.

I don't think I have ever participated in a Group Chat on social media. How is it different to a threaded conversation?
