The whims on the bus go round and round, round and round, round and round...

Wait for it to focus...
Sound up...

Earthset, recorded by Reid Wiseman during the Artemis II lunar flyby.

The initial imperfect composition, and the phone hunting for focus makes this so much more human and familiar.

A celestial scene witnessed by only 28 of us in history...more

Same with those that trot out the excuse that they've got sick kids/parents/siblings who need taking to the hospital fifteen times a day. Plus they do all this important charity work. Oh, and they've also got undiagnosed ADD so can't cope with being on a bus.

I'm not sure describing your cock as looking like Rees Mogg is really the best tinder bio.

Looks like the iPlayer app on WebOS is a bit knackered. Trying to was the bundeslegia match and it's stuttering like crazy. Then the sound gives out. Only way to get it back is a hard reset. Same for the TV channels. Broadband is fine. All the other streaming apps are fine.

Perhaps you're colourblind and they're not all actually black.

I'm not sure what this means, but no way am I searching for "friendly tinkle". Even if it's benign, can you imagine the adverts you'll end up seeing? I'm still scarred from looking up poo knife.

Looking forward to the new Boards of Canada stuff. Not looking forward to the neverending, overwrought, overemotional, hyperbolic gushing that will appear everywhere - no matter how tangentially related to them - for the next couple of months. I may go as far as muting their name until Christmas.

Should just change it to "now you" and "goodbye". Much more clearerer.

Is it not that "over" means "I've finished this sentence" and "out" means "I've finished this conversation"? In that context "over and out" is fine so long as you're the last to speak.

I think an awful lot of people are already at that stage. AI is a panacea for everything they ever need to know or do. Any problem, the answer is "I'll get AI to do it". You can almost see people intellectually withering away before your eyes. Outsourced thinking rarely returns.

The problem with virality and chasing the algorithm is that it's a race to the bottom. By contorting your art to fit another's Ideal (an algorithm) your trying to create someone else's art, not your own. Algorithmic content promotes and rewards the "same". Anything that's "other" gets pushed aside.

A friend went as wolfman for Halloween years back. One-piece wolf costume with his clothes over the top. After the third time of having to pretty much get entirely undressed to have a piss he got some scissors from behind the bar and made some alterations.

There's also the problem of road "maintenance" being outsourced to the cheapest company. Who invariably do a shit job - just enough to fulfil the contract - and then also get paid to do the repair on their shite in a year's time. So many councils are penny wise and pound foolish.

I've long said that good management is to hold the umbrella, run interference and generally do what's necessary to stop all the nonsense that comes down from upon high from impacting the work that's getting done. A happy, unbothered employee is a productive employee.

And no tea drinker wants scaggy bits of coffee in their sugar, but it seems to be compulsory in every workplace I've been in.

When I need an account to either use or put into instructions/documentation I use characters from classic 80s movies. There's an Alex Murphy - with the appropriate picture - that no-one has noticed. My favourite is Kyle Reese who gets name checked in an email that goes out to everyone monthly.

All the audio is now finished! Looking like it'll be 82 tracks in total, spread over 4 to 6 albums. Just album sequencing, titles and artwork left now.

Notice that they've "landscaped" the grass into ditches to stop anyone walking over it or using it in any kind of manner.

Judging by the state of the men's bogs in most pubs, it would seem that few people have that level of aim and control...

How far north are we talking? Just north of Manchester and I've never heard of them before, let alone seen one.

Great. Some gobshite product manager is going to see this and demand their devs change their software so it says "little number to big numbers" or "a for apple to z for zebra" now.
