Decided to try star citizen again for the first time in a decade. Installation took two days because the first time it wouldn't start even after verifying the files and following a bunch of troubleshooting steps. Turned out I needed to run the installer/launcher as admin. (1/?)

Rian Johnson strikes me as a man who really appreciates that he gets to do this stuff, and I always find that endearing.
This is true and I was the only one on set excited about it (and playing the song on my phone to blank stares)
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.

I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Stuck a video on and the person narrating it has pronounced the word "business" as "bis-us-ness" with three very distinct syllables. As far as I can tell, English is his first language and he's definitely old enough that he must have heard the word before.

Statement of Not-Sasha. Statement dictated to Blue sky, December the 27th, two thousand and twenty five. Statement begins:
AI isn’t going to take your job

I am

You’re going to go in to your next shift and I will be there, I will be wearing your clothing and your badge, I will be sitting in your chair, I will be answering to your name

As much as you tell people I’m not you, they won’t believe you or recognize you

Weird how somehow podcasts have become completely acceptable to celebs but being a YouTuber somehow isn't. If you want to make videos, there's a platform for that, don't call it a podcast and then make it inaccessible to people who are listening to it.

I heard the Green Party bit in the car yesterday and it was bewildering how they presented the Greens as being as full of swivel eyed lunatics as Reform or UKIP. Genuinely mean spirited at the idea of wanting things to be better, and being that while having fucking Gove on.
"Top political comedian Matt Forde reconvenes his Focus Group for a Boxing Day special with a Dickensian twist." www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/... Is Michael Gove the Dickensian twist? Plus his bizarre take on @zackpolanski.bsky.social from around 23mins in.

I have a secret. I know when it's bin day.
So we enter The Merrineum; where time means nothing and nobody knows when it's bin day.

Rivers of London. We won't have Paul McGann forever and I've had Nightingale cast in my head since I read the first book.
OK, less contentious post:

You've been placed in charge of a movie studio, and have an unlimited budget to adapt any work of your choosing that has never been made into a live-action TV series or film. What are you picking?

For me: PC Hodgell's Kencyrath Cycle and there's no close second

Profoundly depressing. Well done to labour, though, who have apparently succeeded in capturing that bigot vote from the tories they were so desperate for.

Absolute 90s playlist on a Sunday morning is very clearly something the higher ups pay no attention to, because I've not heard MSPs Suicide is Painless cover in years, and it sure as shit isn't christmassy

For some reason, @whenisbirths.bsky.social's "Tuxedo Fatberg" as a descriptor for Trump just popped into my head and I started laughing.

Imagine being a boxing coach, devoting your life to the art and craft of boxing, seeing the audience flock to an objectively mediocre-to-poor offering just because the participants are already famous.

Luckily I work in audio so I have no idea what that would feel like.

my fave retail memory is an old lady walking to the back of the shop to fart and then it being so loud the whole shop turned round

still makes me laugh 30 years later

My favourite retail thing was the time a guy Indiana Jones-rolled under the decending door shutter on Christmas Eve. To return something.
