Searching a museum for the one piece you've travelled there to see feels pretty neat

Please understand I am older than I look and my knees need this seat.

Love that my local Green councillors are Getting Tough On Crime and listening to residents' Legitimate Concerns about traffic calming measures. This is definitely why anyone votes Green.

I don't like long pauses in live theatre because I get anxious that someone's forgotten their line and I start feeling secondhand embarrassment

level progress diagrams of all of the maps from The Ultimate Doom - check the thread linked more more details

was just reminded of an old great thread on Doomworld: the Doom level progress diagram. it was created to address the age old question about when a map should be considered linear or non-linear www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/...

Sad no Merzbow though!

Line-up poster for Primavera Sound Porto 2026. Headliners are The xx, Gorillaz, and Massive Attack. fakemink and Melt-Banana are in the third tier of acts.

Was keeping my fingers crossed for Melt-Banana and fakemink, so I'm happy with this

It'd probably be a useful exercise to list everything I wish I'd figured out sooner, and go huh, yeah, I can see how that little lot took a while

The one gender.

Their vegan options have slipped, and that one they did with little mini burgers as topping put me off both pizza and burgers for a good long while, but this one was 😙🤌

The Yard Sale Dishoom pizza is actually ace.

Excited to host my long-threatened Muriel's Wedding/Hereditary double bill tonight

"sorry for liking your entirely normal reply from the bums and willies account"

That you can open bluesky via a notification from one account, but the app will stay logged into a different account, is absolutely an alt/main containment breach waiting to happen

why not decide to reorganise your bookshelves at 9pm, you will certainly not regret reorganising your bookshelves at 9pm

I wondered from the trailer how they were going to handle this. Glad to hear it's an absolute mess!

Still from that bit in Annihilation where Natalie Portman is menaced by a screaming bear with a human skull for a face.

The talking rabbit is very Annihilation (2018)

23 minutes into Curse of the Were-Rabbit, and regardless of what happens next this all seems deeply unethical

On "we need to teach police binary search", if reviewing CCTV footage is part of your job, and you're actually trying to be successful at your job, you'd intuit something approximating BS, surely? Surely???

Tumblr post from teaboot: My first time operating CCTV cameras I was handed control over what was essentially 50 independently moving eyes that collectively covered an area about the size of a football field and from that experience I now know that 1. Suddenly having 50 moving eyes can make you disoriented and barfy and the adjustment period sucks ass 2. It takes both more and less time than you'd think to figure out what the structure as a whole looks like and where those eyes ARE 3. Atter you get used to it the entirety of the structure itself and all of the eyes you can see from feels like an extension of your nervous system in a very bizarre way. Like I have dreams now from the perspective of A Building and I'm not sure how to describe that. 4. Once you are aware of an unreachable blind spot it nags at you constantly and you can feel it like a hard little lump under your skin you need to poke and scratch at and it's ardghgguychgghhbhhhbhhh

thinking about this post, and about wanting to larp as a non-human entity

Really don't want to have to figure out bullshit I've not touched in years.

Can... can Steam just do the patching for us?

“That’s going to have a knock on effect.”

“Oh, my God. I hadn’t realised that.”

“It’s just extraordinary that I hadn’t thought of this”

“and nobody had made me aware of it.”

New Grand Designs episode aka the closest thing to any game production process I’ve ever seen on tv including any attempt at fiction

Absolutely gonna be tears at Self Esteem

Oh! This bumps it up my list

There's going to be a critical country-defining fight in the next few weeks as to whether the new system is just a rebrand / extension of GOV.UK One Login done by GDS or is something new done by Oracle / Palantir or worse.

I *should* be excited about Gillian Anderson in a Tron movie, and yet...
