A large screen that says "Slapstick Festival: Heavenly Laughs: Charlie Chaplin and Harold Lloyd Double Bill"

First show at @slapstickfest.bsky.social for me. Two great films and a wonderful intro by @robinince.bsky.social and Paul McGann

It's time folks! Hope to see a good number of you there at the best free conference in the world!!

Slightly late to the party, but was the comedian @mrbasilpesto.bsky.social was talking about who did a bit about moving to Scotland Kieran Hodgson?

They've got a big yellow digger mounted on the tracks at the station for some maintenance work and let me tell you that the toddler watching clearly thinks this is the best thing ever

Me, coding a thing and ambiently chatting to a friend:
"I think I know what the issue is, and I think I know how to fix it"

Me, having tried thirty other "potentially better" solutions, three hours later:
"I should've done the thing I told you"

A Christmas Tree, lying on its side, on a street corner. A piece of tinsel runs from it to a nearby bollard, which it is wrapped around

Looks like the tree had a great Friday night down the pub...

Legitimately a great series!

Slightly late to the party, but I've finally got round to watching The Long Walk. I thoroughly enjoyed it, with another standout performance from David Jonsson.

pound for pound this might be the funniest thing ever written

I no longer know what day of the week it is. I have achieved peak holiday

Nothing quite like getting to the supermarket super early on the 27th and getting first pickings of the cheap excess Christmas stock

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

Early morning idea: Sporklers

Acts as both a spoon and a sparkler. Incredibly dangerous, should not be invented

Just finished it off. Lovely little series, had me guessing all the way up to the end

Blimey, @kinmoku.bsky.social on both @indieventurepodcast.co.uk and @backpagepod.bsky.social this week. Taking that as a sign to finally get round to picking up VIDEOVERSE

Now that's something to look forward to!

A pair of electronic signs at a train station. The one on the left says that the 15:18 to Bristol Temple Meads is cancelled, while the one on the right says the 16:17 to Bristol Temple Meads is also cancelled

The joy of trying to use the trains!

Now that's one way to wake yourself up on a Sunday!

One of those headlines where each new word really does make everything the story is about worse...

Great #AdventOfCode today! And I'm not just saying that because it was trivial to upgrade my part 1 solution for part 2

my stupid stupid brain had to draw this

Wake Up Dead Man is a great film. A cracking array of characters and a brilliant mystery at the core of it. Well worth a watch

Nice to hear things have changed from 8 years ago when I regularly got that train

Fair well regular flat white. 'Functional' coffees are hitting the high street Coffees made with extra ingredients like mushrooms, protein and collagen are known as "Functional Coffees" Business 9h ago

Quick, someone invent the "Object-Oriented Coffee"!

'Tis the season to be sneezing, apparently...

Given it's what he's been doing for over 20 years, it does feel quite cruel to the others to have a task that's basically "Make a weird short film" when Reece Shearsmith is taking part.

While I've traditionally been annoyed by those "Skeleton Spider" decorations you sometimes see around this time of year, I'm starting to think that the actual terror is the thought of a spider with an endoskeleton...

Oh, that's an interesting development!

Finally, a game that lets you roleplay as middle management!
