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.

I think they have been put up for exactly the same reason as all those St G's crosses down south.

They're flying saltires on every lamp post on the Calder Road, Gav. We're not that much more civilised.

Saying changing from Windows to Linux is very easy is a very privileged position to be in.

New bike day! No, not for me. I came out of M&S and there was just the happiest looking young man coming out of Halfords with his Dad. Passed him on the shared path on the way home and he was singing. Bless.

I like to shake a fist and loudly boo so my wife knows I disagree.

The platform formerly known as Twitter may be horrible, but it is still shaping policy. So were we all wrong to leave?

Was the left wrong to leave X for BlueSky?

I am sure he'll be fine. Once the digestion finishes he'll warm back up. All power has gone to deal with the steak and potatoes. 😁

Coke can be surprisingly recuperative in this case. Or a cold beer. 😁
