Exhumed? Excised? Egghead?

Incredible thermal inversion over Edinburgh from the pentlands this morning. Taken from Carnethy hill looking north-east, you can see Turnhouse, Castlelaw, Allermuir and Caerketton hills. What you can't see is any of the city of Edinburgh!

Looking out over the city of Edinburgh, hidden in fog. Four hills are visible, which look like islands in a sea of clouds.

To paraphrase Billy Connolly, God had to work out what to do with all the leftover elbow skin.

The reason colonizers are so afraid of immigrants is because they make the mistake of thinking that because all colonizers are immigrants, all immigrants are also colonizers. They think immigrants come with evil in their hearts, because colonizers come with evil in their hearts.

Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you’ll never watch again, and one song you can’t stand.

Capers (wee bags of sick)
Event Horizon (terrifying)
Mmm Mmm Mmm Mmm (godawful)

Welcome back to the 'don't look now but the sky's doing weird shit' part of the year

The aurora borealis (northern lights) as two distinctive shapes over a mountain. One purple spike into a more diffuse green wave. Both very clear and strong.

I want to see this so much but the Filmhouse has the 70mm print in November so I'm biding my time.

It’s essentially an emergency that you see One Battle After Another in the cinema immediately. Sean Penn will win an Oscar & it has the best car chase in many years. And those aren’t in the top 3 best things about the film. Jesus shitting Christ.

Good evening to everyone but especially the absolute star in the white helmet here. A lovely version.

Millennials are old.

Yesterday, I read that, according to Gen Z, when a Millenial puts "lol" at the end of something, it makes them sound old.

They said nothing about Gen X, but, whatever, lol

Now there's a film I never need to see again. Good, but just the once.

Changing the boot order in the BIOS is beyond most people's skillset. I think you are totally overestimating what the average user is capable of or willing to do.
