‘Strong floor and a high ceiling’ is a great slogan if you are the builder of a Victorian house in an Australian suburb 1870-1900. Hardwood for joists and floorboards is cheap, and LEP height limits don’t exist yet. Don’t forget to add a nice transom window with coloured glass over the door

Living in gratitude is more important than ever these days.
I try to treasure and embrace each and every day that a Government official doesn’t announce “release the robot dogs.”

True story. Except for the public defecation bit.
How a typo meant @davidmgreen.bsky.social saw the 1993 family movie ‘Beethoven’s 2nd’ at the cinema twice. A tedious anecdote. #vhsrevue #dog

Every single Mamdani vid is somehow also a piece of pure cinema. Just unreal how beautifully shot and edited everything is.
Soon small businesses won’t have to wait for Small Business Saturday to get attention from their Mayor.
Some changes that they can look forward to:

RIP Tom Stoppard.
Hardly his most important work, but I remember having my mind blown by learning he had rewritten most of the dialogue on INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE, one of the funniest movies ever made

Now watching: ‘The World is Not Enough’, dir. Michael Apted, 1999. A perfect time capsule of turn-of-the-Millenium Britain. Big beat score. PoMo docklands. Magic Eye digital graphics all over the shop. 🎥🎬

Funny how we all remember hating how the jungle chase bit looks like shit but every movie in 2025 looks like that now. boxd.it/bSACW9
A ★★★ review of Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)
Aggressively average but not the disaster it's made out to be. Everything up until the jungle chase is decent, and then it falls off a cliff.

A lot of staying grounded means increasingly standing aside as the herd confidently gallops off a cliff.
