If Americans don't really do Boxing Day what was the point of moving to Pluribus. Much more inconvenient on 23/24 should've been 22/23 (and yes I know it's really because of Stranger Things but don't get me started on that madness)

Watching the Box of Delights. God. I know you’re meant to say the CSO is shonky. Ha ha. Etc. But it isn’t. It’s very good indeed. As in: you can see it’s not real, it’s VFX, but it works. Matching surfaces in blue screen to the filmed settings is done so stylishly. So much love in the thing.

Most of this year I've constantly felt like I'm at least a day behind where I thought I should be which is perhaps best illustrated by the state of my advent calendars.

Yes I have four advent calendars.

Trying #AmazonMusic and is there any way to get the Android app to find castable devices with anything approaching a degree of reliability?

First day of #ChristmasTV and this year the dates line up with my time off work (although it still doesn't feel right). Haven't looked what's on but heard it's not a great year (which people always say but feel it might be true this time)

Really pleased Amazon have decided to release Fallout episodes weekly but starting it now and having episodes 2 and 3 on Christmas and New Years eve is dumb. Now rather then watching it I may as well wait until new year and try to catch up.

It was great to see so many people at Tokyo Godfathers and enjoying the music from Otley Brass Band last night.

Again and again, the optimal position when legally threatened by Trump is to be resolute in defence and prepare for court.
You will likely not then have to go to court, as he will fold or settle.
But if you seek to settle from the off, he has got you and he will crush you.

I'm not sure I've ever seen anything with a larger disconnect between the executive class and the general public than AI - there have been cases where executives want to push something they know is unpopular, but on AI it's like the backlash hasn't penetrated their bubble at all
What gets me about executives at movie/videogame studios being taken aback at consumer backlash to AI is that they seem genuinely surprised that we like the human beings that make the things that we like

More on the Mango Mussolini sueing the BBC for a hundred trillion billion zillion dollars, apparently the White House Chief Press Officer has called the BBC "100% fake news."
That is an actual lie, as Armando Iannucci suggested the BBC should counter sue trumpy pants for 100 quintillion dollars

Warning: that ending might choke you up a bit.

Two babies were born in New York within a year of each other, soon after WWII.
One, Rob Reiner, lived a life of humanity and achievement. He brought us delight and joy. His memory will be a blessing.
The other, Donald Trump, will be remembered as an embarrassment to our nation.

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.

The cultural impact of Rob Reiner cannot be understated. Legend isn't big enough a word. It goes to 11. You can't handle the truth. As you wish. I'll have what she's having. I'm your number one fan. You guys wanna see a dead body? The very idea of a bucket list. The West Wing.

Rob Reiner: I'm going to make a coming of age drama, a fantasy adventure story, a romantic comedy, a psychological horror and then a courtroom drama.
Us: Across your entire career?
Reiner: In a 6 year period.
Us: That sounds-
Reiner: -Each one will be arguably the best movie in that genre.
