Other features include a map of all Cineville cinemas, ticket links, an add to calendar button, and links to IMDb and Letterboxd. It currently has the Cineville programme for the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Sweden. I build this because I wanted to use it, but maybe it's useful to more people.

Cineview

I made a website! It's an alternative interface for Cineville with an interactive schedule of movie showtimes, a list of movies on selected location(s) and day, and you can use it to pin and share selected shows.

We are alarmed by reports that Germany is on the verge of a catastrophic about-face, reversing its longstanding and principled opposition to the EU’s Chat Control proposal which, if passed, could spell the end of the right to privacy in Europe. signal.org/blog/pdfs/ge...

Chat Control Is Back on the Menu in the EU. It Still Must Be Stopped The European Union Council is once again debating its controversial message scanning proposal, aka β€œChat Control,” that would lead to the scanning of private conversations of billions of people. Chat

The Danish Presidency is pushing a dangerous proposal in the EU that would allow the government to scan all our private communications. www.eff.org/deeplinks/2...

In early 2025, beaver activity in the Brdy Protected Landscape Area, Czech Republic, contributed to the restoration of a wetland ecosystem. A family of beavers constructed a series of dams that coincidentally accomplished environmental goals of the Czech government, which had delayed its proposed project since 2018 for bureaucratic and financial reasons. The beaver-built dams saved the Czech government approximately US$1.2 million,

imagine if a family of beavers randomly showed up right now and finished whatever thing you've been putting off

Watching Ocean with DavidΒ Attenborough, Ponyo and Ikiru in Filmhuis Lumen yesterday was certainly an eclectic combination, but surprisingly kind of fitting as well?

In 2020 someone installed plaques on benches in Calgary’s Bowmont Park commemorating events that didn’t happen. The city removed them but re-installed them after locals protested. How could you not want these?

Thanks for the useful video! One thing I've struggled with using grid auto-fit and auto-fill is how to come up with an accurate sizes attribute for responsive images inside such a grid

Scene by Scene - David Lynch Mark Cousins meets US director David Lynch, creator of such idiosyncratic and groundbreaking screen landmarks as Eraserhead, Blue Velvet and Twin Peaks.

My interview with David Lynch - where we talk about his ideas and film techniques - is back on the BBC after nearly 25 years.

Also, I recently made the site installable as a home screen app, but it still looks best on larger screens.

A side-project I've been working on for the past couple of years is finally presentable!
cabviews.net
I find cab ride videos relaxing to watch, and they provide an interesting view of different landscapes and infrastructure, so I made this site as a collection of cab rides with maps of the routes
