The AI extinction debate happening now is really interesting / dumb. It's interesting that it's happening, but dumb because everyone saying we need to do something ignores how much real evidence there is for climate change and how little we've done to solve that problem.

Ok, lets try this. @warren.senate.gov surely the right move for democrats here would be to simply say 'on day 1 of our term we will be restoring this compliance requirement and fining companies who don't have thorough history'? old.reddit.com/r/politics/c...

Saw Supergirl last night, I really enjoyed it, I think if the purpose was to set up how she grew from a conflicted character to someone still morally grey, but trying to live up to 'be good' it did a decent job. My issues were presentation - over dark fight scenes suck. Lobo was take or leave too.

Both sides of my pillow are warm! Which witch did I offend and why am I cursed!?!

@bbcdaniels.bsky.social The King's Speech referred to "significant reforms to the police", four words that describe what could be a revolution in policing in England and Wales. .. thats five words.

A great episode - I find I enjoy Q&A episodes of podcasts a lot of fun; see also the Wednesday paid show of @dlchypetrain.bsky.social

.. you expected something else?

Tim Cook and Sundar Pichai are cowards

Why is the final - Death focussed story - of Sandman so much better than the rest? Its like the first season where Morpheus spent time with Death, it was just better than other episodes. I know there are problems with Gaiman these days, but a Death focussed show... maybe it over stays its welcome?

I'm not as fussed about the #gamepass restructuring as some, but if @xbox.com really want to offer flexibility, they should give us a subscription builder so I can have Ultimate but ditch the Cloud, Riot and rewards stuff to save some measure of money.

Image sharing here is a touch odd. But anyway. Microsoft Launcher.

It used to be that we built things and tried to make the world better for everyone. Someone posted the other day that if we didn't already have libraries, there's no way they would be built today. I'm not sure I can disagree, and that saddens me.

I really want yo play Hades 2, I loved the original Hades.. alas I wasn't very good at it. I only got to the third level twice and I think it's spent my blood thingies wrong, so I'm basically scuppered. Probably don't need to finish one before the other, but I can't feel it will be the same problem.

Worked out why I couldn't update my Win11 machine! I had bought an MVMe riser card to add another drive. That card isn't supported by the minimal driver set loaded during updates and that manifested as a memory error. Remove the card, update, simple. -- need a long term solution though.

If we're doing Star Trek for its anniversary, then that sends me back to the fun stuff from the old Spacebattles days. youtu.be/cTv0a48fSYI?...

If you only see one play in the west end, see #hadestown and #six. Seriously though, they've over taken Taylor Swift on my spotify listen list. 'Road to Hell' from #hadestown is just excellent, and 'Wait for me' hits something in me. #six is fun pop and doesn't over stay its welcome, so good.

Walking down the street with the eldest two, just belting out 'Wait for me'. #hadestown

Got to London and hour ahead of schedule due to great tailwinds. Have been sat in an uber in the terminal 3 car park for 20mins so far and haven't moved an inch.

I saw a microbiologist today. Much bigger than I expected.

Lying in bed, struggling to sleep, and contemplating my own mortality. Bah humbug.

Ok, watching Destination Wedding as its about to leave prime and my god, the dialog and delivery is just phenomenal. Keanu and Winona are just amazing in this. I've jo idea if it's a good film, I'm just enjoying them on screen together.

Love this!

Really fun season 1 right up until they realised they could get renewed and needed a hook for season 2 so it all got a bit dumb. Midway through season 2 and its kind of lost its way, but I'm invested enough to see where it goes for now.

The Fugitive, love this film; so many good ones in the 90's though.

My PC blue screens when starting into safemode. It will boot fine normally, but can't take any updates. I sense a rebuild coming up. Used to enjoy that, now I fear I'm too old to be arsed. That's a troubling thing to write...

Genuinely can't work out if Spaceballs 2 is real or a hoax. Either way it's got me thinking about Spaceballs again, which is fun.

I dont think there's an official disney blue-sky account, but damn Paradise is really good. A few questionable in the moment emotional decisions that are frustrating, but the concept is fun and the execution - just watched ep7 - is great.

Had a good run, but I think it's time this goes to live in the memorabilia box now. Don't you agree @jeffcannata.bsky.social ?

Lovely drive through the cotswolds this morning to Cheltenham for meetings. If it weren't for the awfully early start it would have been perfect.

Ok, let's not talk about setting the fire alarm of while cooking... pasta. In my defence it was the meatballs to go with it, but really... doh!

Wore a suit for the first time in a long time today; can't lie, it felt good to feel a bit smarter for an afternoon. Jeans and t-shirt tomorrow 😉

Defining cinema with a gif because Blusky let's you search for gifs but not plain images 😀

You can tell I write my own code because my code is SHIT

Watching my wife play South of Midnight, really good music, interesting story. Only thing that stands out as odd is the animation style. I get animating on 2's, but it doesn't seem pronounced enough. In motion I can't really see it. Art style in general is great though.

Love this thread!

Hey @jeffcannata.bsky.social look what just turned up in the UK!

Hey @jeffcannata.bsky.social here's another slightly off the wall parting gift; who doesn't love new roguelikes for old systems?! 😀
