I don't know why it's purple. Something to do with Firefox and bsky.

Magazine letter: It seems that shops stock seasonal products earlier and earlier each year. Today I saw a birthday card, but my birthday isn't until October. Utterly ridiculous. Rich B, Kidlington

I probably still have an audio tape of myself around 5 or 6 years old eating a biscuit and a piece of cheese. "*pause* yum biscuit! *pause* yuck cheese! *pause* yum biscuit! *pause* yuck cheese!" Repeat until one or the other ran out. Somehow nobody at all suspected that I might have been autistic.

I made a boss key for my game, it's a classic BSOD in 640x360

I've never seen a dog write "minimum" in cursive before, let alone with pee while walking on forepaws!

You can always watch it without giving the studio any money.

In the gap, the spoof British Police Drama, A Touch of Cloth, was superb in its deadpan delivery and blink-and-you'll-miss-it gags. Highly recommend giving it a watch or two (3 seasons of 3 episodes each)

Yeah, most people think LLMs either are better than they are, or think they're being sold something better than it actually is. It is incredibly frustrating for those of us who design & build. I'm taking a break from my career. It's like people are buying sheds thinking they're skyscrapers.

Many movies based on computer games fail to capture the essence of the source material, but few as badly as 2024's The Outrun.

It's time the overinflated twat learnt how insignificant he is. He's been mollycoddled by our press for far too long.

Do you eat baked potato? Do you eat fried potato? Sliced potato? Potato dauphinois? Mashed potato? Do you like all of those? Or is there one, including not listed, that you dislike? The hypothesis is that everyone has one that they dislike. The author invites others to express their own preference.

So my primary school would serve "mashed potatoes" that were grey, watery and had lumps in them. I'd gag if I felt a potato lump at the back of my throat. Put me off mashed potatoes for life, I just won't touch them prepared like that. IDC how different they are, or how much anyone else likes them.

It could just be because Labour is somewhat rabid about not forming coalitions and would probably get weird if he publicly admitted involvement in this new venture. I presume he'd prefer not to be thrown overboard until the dinghy's at least inflated.

No idea, but bsky tints all my uploaded pictures purple, which is ... helpful?

Nope. Maybe a little less purple. Maybe.

Brown; color is weird
YouTube video by Technology Connections Brown; color is weird

Why are all the GIF results for "Contextual orange" just vapid, presumably rich, blondes? Screw it, here's the whole video, with an inexplicable purple tint on the thumbnail - thanks, bsky.
