Ugh the woman I can't stand is on BBC F1 again

The White House explosion from Independence Day.

Remember in 1996 when destroying the White House was generally considered to be a bad thing

Great article about the moral panic around the nebulous concept of "attention spans", or supposed lack thereof, and why we might possibly be looking for distraction in a broken fucked up world

This is what I tell myself any time I make an impulse purchase from a small seller. I'm supporting small business! I'm keeping the economy going! We're basically heroes

Timely new example of white men being shit to have to hand as well

Daily affirmations: I am grateful to have found a quick and reliable electrician 🙏🏼

Oh yes for sure! I'll probably get to that before the movie lol

I often go out of my way to not watch things everyone else is watching lol

I've never seen Bladerunner, sorry Alex Turner

(There's tons of ubiquitous things I haven't seen, and never intend to tbh lol. Though I probably will watch Bladerunner one day)

Yessssss I went to see The Nun at a Victorian chapel in Sheffield general cemetery a couple of years ago and it was mega

From your username I can tell you must know a lot about this stuff but can I ask how it's not still pretty much the same as a Victorian Turkish bath? It has most of the requisite components, and a lot of the layout and tiling is original

Wow I really miss being able to see what was going on in horror movies. Or any movies for that matter. Bring back the 20th century

I think there is a certain feeling of pursuing a resolution that feels productive in some way, but it becomes a sunk cost fallacy lol

Mine is generally pretty mundane (wasted time/money/emotional investment) but it still feels monumental even though it's completely unimportant!

Bloody hell,decision paralysis is exhausting. Not only "which of these options should I choose?" but will doing this insignificant thing give me the necessary emotional satisfaction to make it worth doing at all? And if not will it be a DISASTER that I'll regret for months even if nothing goes wrong

Lovely to see you!

My latest language pet peeve is people using "frequented" to mean "went" or "visited". It's only frequenting if you go there frequently! Obviously

Yeah I don't use Twitter at all now, though only a certain subset of people I knew over there have moved over here, and I speak to most of them on discord so Bluesky is a bit pointless for me!

I do go on Threads but I don't really make my own posts there, I just reply to people. I use it in a completely different way to Bluesky and Twitter, it's more like a forum where you just interact with whatever is there, rather than just people you follow

I barely remember to look at Bluesky so I guess I missed some furore?

I'm still mad that the TV direction of the race today showed us nothing but Lando following Max for like 30 laps, while loads of stuff was going on behind them that we never got to see

Tried to go to the Barbican conservatory today but some selfish twats were having their wedding there 🙄 Honestly!

But I love chocolate and beer 😢

Salad cream is actually a miracle because someone found a way to make mayonnaise worse. And yes it probably was a northerner 😞

Why is mayonnaise the most unremittingly awful food, like what is it that makes it so completely gross and impossible to ignore

I did see it at the cinema and it is gory but it was also hilarious, I can't remember ever laughing that much in the cinema, haha. It's so ridiculously OTT the gore was more funny than horrible lol

Here’s my cliff notes summary of Pete Hegseth’s big military address today

October is here and it's time for my annual horror movie month - what should I start with? I've been saving them up! I might go with The Conjuring's final instalment even though I'm pretty sure it'll suck, because the previous one did

I suppose I might give in and buy a new TV, seeing as the remote sensor on mine stopped working so I can't use the Chromecast or DVD player even if I wanted to. I've had the TV 16 years so I guess it's had a decent innings, but it's just the hassle of having to hook a new one up to my Sky box etc

My body is ready and my brain is even more ready
