Imagine his bathroom cabinet.

This analysis is congruent with my own and therefore correct.

Also, a car can do it even faster, if machines are allowed to play.

Twinings tea range including Little Lift, Pause, Peace, Quiet Mind, Reset.

This caught my eye in Sainsbury's. Twinings may as well go the whole hog and launch some "Please make everything stop and go away" tea.

Bring ‘n’ Byte is a go! 🤩♻️📺

We are watching "Last one Laughing". The theme tune starts with *half* of the riff from Led Zeppelin's Heartbreaker. So every episode starts with me being annoyed that it does not finish the riff properly.

Heartbreaking.

New Madonna album out soon...so anything is possible after that?

I had an absolutely AMAZING conversation with @aireadee.bsky.social about poetry, physics, Star Trek, and the social power of the night sky, and it was recorded and you can watch it here! 🖖🏽

In the "I'm in A&E over-explaining how the hoover came to be attached to me 'by accident'" sense.

By accident?

The books, which are almost entirely unlike the TV show, are fascinating. Written between 1955 and 1999, time and culture just change around Gently. Alan Hunter died in 2005 just as things would have made the character too anachronistic.

I'm rewatching the Martin Shaw/Lee Ingleby George Gently.

It's fascinating to see that is clearly "modern" except

a) it hasn't been graded to teal and orange
b) immersive shots have actual depth of field, not just a foreground object in a blur
c) has 90 minutes of story for a 90 minute show

The skeleton behind the wall is fantastic, yes.

I also love the one where Quinnan and Datta find Annette Badland barricaded into a house.

Hurrah to Bluesky not being broken today lol

Ignoring the rest of the show, I can recommend most of P J Hammond's 39 episodes. They are always good (and usually a bit unsettling.)

I am addicted. Even in its darkest days in the 2000s when it was objectively shite. I regularly rewatch from Woodentop.

WPC Datta was in the original cast of Cats, IIRC.

Don't forget the (1997?) only slightly racist Xmas Panto episode.

It's very important that discoveries of missing material by Film is Fabulous are understood in their proper context, the cataloguing and preservation of film collections as a whole. Recoveries are a welcome by-product of this wider work.

Exactly.

And by 'sober people' I mean, more often than not, underpaid women whose activities leap far beyond their job titles.

I'm seeing more bonkers posts from execs and 'entrepreneurs' about the use of psychoactive drugs to 'ground' and 'inspire' them. Another generation about to learn the difference between 'because' and 'despite' and the work of sober people around narcotics casualties that makes them seem to function.

Hugh from the Armando Iannucci Show

“Of course in the old days Bluesky was only on for three hours a day. We used to get dressed up in our Sunday best to log on to it. Then when it shut down again we’d all stand up and sing the national anthem”

We don't put status messages in `grep` that say "I'm doing this that and the other".

But then `grep` has not taken billions out of investors claiming that it is inches away from AGI.

For example:

"I'll wait for them to complete." - bad
"Waiting for test run to complete." - better

Both are doing the same thing. One is pretending to be a person. The other is a computer program polling a CLI tool it has kicked off to do a bit of work.

I just wish they'd stop anthropomorphizing the bloody things in their hype (and UX)

I'm only glad my immediate thought was not Rosalind Franklin but the classic Taskmaster song "Rosalind's A Fucking Nightmare".

(That said, this is actually a good application of LLMs and related ML/solvers.)

Keep out of the Black and in the Red. There's nothing at all for two in a bed.

...and now for a party political broadcast for the Reform party from our political editor, Chris Mason

...I did catch the problem with the process I'm using. I just didn't expect quite this class of issue.

All that said, I greatly enjoyed its earlier invention of the WTF-8 text encoding.
