@pierrenovellie.bsky.social Really enjoying your R4 show btw. That Dan Brown joke in episode 2 was perfection.

@metoffice.gov.uk What on earth have you done to your app!? It's so clunky. It's like you stepped back in time.
I'm sorry but I cannot use this.

I need to change between destinations on a home screen, not through a menu.

Why have you got rid of "feels like" by the hour?

What's the point of Roblox parental controls if kids can sign out and bypass them? Most platforms have basic checks, while Roblox does not. Such checks, of course, would reduce the amount of users the company could promote are using Roblox. This is a huge problem.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed Wake Up Dead Man with the excellent Josh O'Connor.
I was wondering if @rianjohnson.bsky.social read a lot of Seishi Yokomizo's detective Kosuke Kindaichi mysteries, as I loved the characters in WUDM directly referencing other mystery novels, which is something Yokomizo does a lot

For the love of everything, please don’t buy your kids shit that lets them talk to LLM or generative AI in general.

If a summer camp sai "we have so many kids to look after, but we're getting better at child safety" you wouldn't send your kids there.

Parents don't want to know how you're getting better at child safety. They just want to know their child is safe.

Thanks @patrickklepek.bsky.social

Love this thread.
Bland leisure wear is a scourge.
Although it's rarely expressed in outright terms, people often use a very simple heuristic when solving fashion problems: they wish to look rich, which is often disguised as "respectable."

I will show you why this rarely leads to good outfits. 🧵

@randydeluxe.bsky.social the Lives of Others is a beautiful movie. When I watched it had just come out, but I'll be interested to hear what you think given the current political situation. At the time I watched it, it was harking back to the recent past, but it felt a world away.
