Stephen Spielberg's 1981 adaptation of George Lucas and Philip Kaufman's 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' was filmed 45 years after the events it purported to depict (1936). 2026 will be 45 years since the film was released...

No signs of a white Christmas in the UK, but Kunanyi has provided a summer white Christmas for Hobart residents.

Dammit. All the clues of 2000 years of historical conspiracy have led to this point, yet I now need access to a no longer supported version of Windows in order to unearthed the secrets of the Holy Grail!!!

Dogs are awesome. The efficiency in skimming the lowest point. 😯 Who doesn't love dogs. youtu.be/Ub697GgOE8M?...

For several years December has been a new iteration of "humans are awesome". But GoPro really has taken our sense of immersion and shared experience to another level. 2025 took us to the very edge of the divers, jumpers, riders, skiers, surfers. Enjoy people being awesome. youtu.be/lqvH1bs8mJc?...

Most folk in the UK will be more familiar with the Bondi life guards' larrikin hijinks between pulling naive tourists out of the Pacific—as featured on Bondi Rescue; but their heroic role in saving the lives of the wounded in the recent attack haven't been highlighted here. youtu.be/hSistsKBAGw?...

Is BlueSky debating the proper ratio of horny-posting to existential dread-posting? The traditionalists are holding firm at a 60/40 split, but the new school is pushing for a 70/30, arguing that 'nihilism hits harder when you're horny.

Am I the only one completely suspicious that @taskmaster.tv has had a "museum heist" episode the same week the Louvre Museum has been done over!?

Would you like to swing on a star Carry moonbeams home in a jar And be better off than you are Or would you rather be a fish? A fish won't do anything, but swim in a brook He can't write his name or read a book To fool the people is his only thought And though he's slippery, he still gets caught

Who robbed the Louvre? Right answers only.

Anyone else watching The Menu? This is creepy as.

Constitutional checks on power is not terrorism. First Amendment protected free speech is not terrorism. Criticism is not terrorism. The right of the people to peacefully assemble and address grievances toward their government is not terrorism. Speak truth to power. Always.

I'm not a big desert guy, but some of you out there might enjoy a bit of "harvest season" themed pastries spotted in South Ken.

Me on my way to the rapture

The deliberate destruction of Picturehouse Central - London’s best cinema and social space - by its rapacious landlords (the same guys threatening the Prince Charles) is an ongoing disgrace. So upsetting to witness. This place used to be thronged with people working and chatting and socialising.

There is so much constant bombardment of negativity and bad governance going on, sometimes you just need to switch off, and instead enjoy some seriously badass JCB work. youtube.com/shorts/nrktb...

Third power outage in about ten days. Sitting by candlelight watching Masterchef Australia on the laptop, hot-spotting some internet from the phone and closely watching both batteries going down.

Now THAT was a superhero film. It has been a long time since I have enjoyed a superhero film as much as that. I do not get the critics who didn't enjoy it - joyous, retro, like an old school comic, not overly CGI heavy like most of the Marvel films - DC is back. "Fetch the toys, boy!"

Tried that. Got sick of just digging up dirt on people.

Some stunning big wave photography amongst this trip log. 🌊🏄‍♀️ www.theinertia.com/surf/torren-...
