Also, niche complaint, but went to look at the new Peak Design slings because I quite fancy one of the new colours when my current v1 dies, and... they've redesigned them so that they're now all square? And tall? Like a really expensive packet of cigarettes?

School bullies? Who can be fucked with that at 17, honestly

I went to sixth-form college, where we wore our own clothes, and spent the weekends underage drinking/clumsily partnering, so it always felt more like it was about 14 yr olds or something to me.

Also surprised at how much of the NQ looks like what we think New York is and should look like, but isn't actually what New York looks like. Alleys, fire escapes, graffiti. No wonder they use it for filming all the time. Remnants of streets dressed as early 20c NYC, posters referencing 5th Ave.

Just walked through the now-decommissioned UMIST campus, where I spent too much time as a student (it was where we did rehearsals and Harry's had a WMC vibe vs the sterile UoM union bar). The Barnes-Wallis building, setting of many an angsty freakout/snog, is now £300pw student housing. Feels weird

Good point.

At the same time, I could also post a link to the sentencing remarks so that he does find out, in horrific detail, and understands why people chatting about this aren't exactly being forthright about it

I mean, it's not like it's about a massively unpleasant and hugely triggering series of crimes is it

Quick question, when you're on the bus and overhear a bunch of people you don't know having a chat, do you a) steam in demanding CONTEXT b) mind your own business as the chat clearly isn't aimed at or for you

Feel like when someone described areas of south London as 'shitholes', what they actually meant was 'has a halal butcher instead of a Waitrose'

I don't even know what those are despite being in possession of a fanny, are those common things people talk about pre-date??

Gillian @heyheygillian.bsky.social · 18h

As an autistic person I find the idea of this baffling. Why would you want to go on a date with someone you can't be bothered to talk to?

You think someone outsourcing their actual personality to gussied-up predictive text has even heard of Heloise and Abelard huh

What is the point of this? Why would you want to go on a date with someone you don't actually want to talk to? How are you finding out if you actually have chemistry even if that's all the talking that you'll ever do?

No other film ending has ever gone this hard. Every time this rolls up on-screen I immediately think, “Damn right I have.”

Final shot of SUSPIRIA before the credits roll, which begin with the following:
