NOW Yearbook 1998 – SuperDeluxeEdition

This morning I’m listening to a playlist based on the upcoming Now Yearbook ‘98.

It’s both terrible and amazing. So much great music. So much that should have been left in the 90s. 💜🎧

If anyone has recommendations for a good Thunderbolt/USB-C cable which does both charging and video, let me know!

One came with my new monitor, but it’s quite inflexible and I can’t angle the MacBook exactly how I’d like it. A better option must exist!

If a movie was never released on anything better than DVD but 720p copies are floating around online, are they likely to have been ripped from a streaming site, or would they be someone’s attempt at upscaling?

It’s time for Moomins! 💜🇫🇮

Reminder that God may hate Shrek, but it’s not actually written in the book. It’s simply an interpretation. A valid interpretation, but an interpretation nonetheless.

Also, consider this a warning @tonymartin.bsky.social and @thepotsnpans.bsky.social, I will continue to donate money until The Pikelet Man is allowed to co-host #SIZZLETOWN or given his own spin-off. Let him voice his opinions, uncensored! 😾

I only realised this morning after multiple years that Pocketcasts has a local file import function. Now I can listen to the #SIZZLETOWN 2024 finale early!

Thanks to @tonymartin.bsky.social and @thepotsnpans.bsky.social for another year of stupid fun. All the way from Finland. 🇫🇮💜

Its advent calendar time! 🎄🎄💜💜

I went with Tony’s Chocolonely this year, so this morning I had a lovely little piece of caramel sea salt chocolate.

Meanwhile, my wife is waiting for her cup of tea from her Yogi Teas calendar. I’m sure it’s delicious. 😄

There’s literally no difference between children and cats. They see a box, they go in it. No questions, no hesitation. 📦

One of my all time favourite bands is playing their final show in Sydney right at this minute, and I’m here in Rovaniemi doing my laundry. 😢

If you’re wearing long underwear and socks, do the socks go under or over the underwear?

My preference is over, as I like to see my Moomin socks.

Australia's social media ban doesn’t go far enough.

Limit all social media networks to 65+ years. Let the oldies fade away into dementia, sharing minions memes and yelling at clouds.

The rest of us can return to the one true form of online community - niche forums run by oddball nerds.

So yesterday was our 9th wedding anniversary. We were planning to go out for dinner but because of sudden events, ended up having pizza on the couch instead. I love pizza, the couch, and my wife (not in that order), so I didn’t mind at all. 💜

The morning show hosts on Sweden’s SVT1 are such an odd pair. One’s unshaven and hasn’t bothered to button his crumpled shirt, the other is the Fanciest Boy.

Big fan of the PostNord woman’s ‘Yeah, that’s your parcel, I guess’ attitude. Barely even trying to point at the object. Minimal effort. Love it.

King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard annoy me. It's mostly the name. And how they keep releasing new albums. I get the appeal, and it's cool how experimental they are, but damn. Take a break, guys.

Having said that, their last two albums ‘The Silver Cord’ and ‘Flight b741’ are really good. 💜🎧💜

At what point of being on ADHD medication do you stop having the ‘I have one appointment at 5pm so can’t possibly do anything else’ mindset? ☹️

I ordered something online last week, but then had another look and realised the product wasn’t actually in stock. I emailed them to cancel my order and received what is clearly a ChatGPT response.

I’m glad I used Klarna to pay, because otherwise I don’t think I’d ever get my money back.

Hän huutaa, koska kukaan ei kiinnitä häneen huomiota tällä hetkellä. 😿#kissa

It ought to be illegal for artists to release new albums between mid-November through to the first week of January. Last-minute releases make it really difficult to compile my 'best of the year' list. And who even remembers anything that happens during the Christmas/NYE period?

Are roast turkeys usually positioned with their herb-stuffed arses this high up?

Library friends, do any of you know how an Agatha Christie book could get categorised under ‘NEI’, which I assume comes from the Finnish ‘Neiti Marple’?

I was under the impression that library catalogues were standardised so that they didn’t get filed incorrectly like this.

I put a high value on maintaining a comfortable level of arse warmth.

This morning I picked up my online order of 5x pairs of long underpants, a Lego set, and some new dinner plates. Wild times ahead.

I couldn’t resist. Space Dog!

We bought this Lego set for my nephew the other day. I am tempted to keep it for myself. The animals are so cute! The tiny London bus! Very jealous of that kid.

European vs Australian Christmas decorations.

Yes please. I’ll take the lot. Can’t believe these are (or are almost) 20 years old already. I loved them all so much. 💜🎧#music

oh it was very delicious

The nice thing about Bluesky having more users now is that the various ‘popular/discover/what’s hot’ timelines are no longer dominated entirely by homemade porn.
