3 Screenshots from the movie "Back to the Future" (1985): First, a close-up of a young man and woman dressed in 1950s attire, gazing affectionately at each other on a dance floor, evoking a pivotal romantic moment. Second, a digital display showing "Nov 12, 1955" as the destination date, central to the film's time-travel plot. Third, an image of the town clock tower at night, with a dramatic lightning bolt striking the clock

📽️📅 Back to the Future (1985)

How we revere and respect Michael D. Higgins is a little different to the 2 Mary's.

Before I was alive, from what I can gather people barely thought about the role at all.

I support a vague magical notion of a philosopher king at the top of the Republic briefly doted upon for their virtue

Watched The Siege (1998) last night.

It was a bit of a memory hole for me and I wasn't sure if it was over the top or obscenely prescient.

It does end with Hollywood joy as the bad guys are dead and an evil general is arrested.

But feck if it isn't Andor-like in reading history /holding a mirror

Not that continuity, call backs or eater eggs mean much of anything to this franchise, but the Dalton era does include Felix and reference to a dead wife.

I often take a lot of the movies as a little more standalone than we'd be used to that days.

Casino Royale was a hard reboot and it made little to no illusions to being the same character as any of the previous films.

GoldenEye was also a soft reboot that was less connected to the previous actors.

Dr. No to License to Kill is vaguely the same continuity, that can't continue.

*Shudders*

YouTube video by Part-Time Explorer EDMUND FITZGERALD: The Full Story (50th Anniversary)

Lots of memes and reels/til toks recently for the 50th anniversary of the ship wreck made famous by a folk song, the Edmund Fitzgerald.

I recently watched this impeccable and respectfully made long form documentary on the history of the ship and it's sinking.

If you've ever needed a reason to rally behind the BBC then this is it.

Extract from report in the Guardian on the right wing manoeuvres that have led to the resignation of the DG Tim Davie

twitter being bought and turned into a propaganda machine for fascism, which is directly pumped into every journalist in the world's brain, is one of the worst things to happen in the last few years. we might not survive it.

This fundamental truth needs to be retold by more good-faith politicians. We are confronted with complex, wicked problems in which seemingly unrelated aspects of our challenges are deeply interconnected. The poor and marginalised will be hit hardest by the consequences of climate change.

Apparently even the junctions with WCML north of the massive delta junction at Birmingham have been pared back or delayed because the abandonment of the Crewe and Manchester bits had basically no alternative plan...

It sort of vaguely will be open north of the highest speed bits.

But the UK/Ire three pin plug is *ahem* 'goated'.

The freedom of not utilising an iPod/ iPhone for pods in the modern era is that I don't know how out of sync I am with various podcasts.

If I see a Youtube link or I browse that part of apps, or a reel/ too tok reminds me of certain creators, then I might float back.

Leas commitment, less stress.

I consume a lot less tv news and a lot less British news (since Brexit), but these BBC resignations look like they stink a little.

Clipping the orange man's words closer together to imply incitement to insurrection is hardly that bad really...

Smells more like a push to change bias/ leadership

What a race, Brazil delivers again!

Verstappen started in the pit lane in 19th place and the whole grid has basically stepped out of the way or barely put up a fight.

He's in 4th and has already put under a safety car thanks to a puncture.

There's luck, and there's talent and he's nipping and McLaren's break lights.

Piastri has locked in and this will be an absolute cracking race!

Poor Ferrari 😔

Annex businesses tell Ford to back off Bloor bike lanes Stores in the Annex say the Bloor bike lanes have been a big boost to business. As Michelle Mackey reports, the neighborhood's BIA wants the province to back off its new bill that could see the lanes ...

WATCH: Seriously, if you’re following ANY bike-lane debate, you HAVE TO WATCH this news story. You actually can’t make this up. Ford claims without evidence that bike-lanes are bad for small business, and THE ACTUAL BUSINESS ASSOCIATION obliterates him with data.

Safe bike-lanes mean business.

When people ignorantly label "cyclists" as entitled for wanting equitable infrastructure, just remember, they're oppressing people with mobility challenges as well with that rhetoric.

Those stupid liked and reposted bubbles on Instagram reels are often covering up subtitles.

Is this an example of enshitification...

Well this is now longer than 2 minutes...

Fecking hell..

They broke out the emergency "technical difficulties" title card 😬

Constant audio echo.

Now after the first big reveal of a boxed game they have been teasing, they're taking a 2 minute technical break...

Boo-urns.

Yep the videos are so much louder so far...

Watching the World Championship Warhammer Preview stream.

Sadly the microphones for the hosts are really quiet and there's none on the crowd.

But I'm not here for that, give me some sweet previews!
