I’ve had this file saved on my laptop for three years in preparation for this day.

I suffered the perils of the smart home last night as I accidentally activated my wake up routine whilst asleep, which promptly woke me up at 4am.

Amazon is being fucky-wucky and has now refunded me most of that money without explanation. 🤨️

It’s even hotter than it said it was gonna be this morning. That’s just rude, tbh.

Kim just spent £ 426.68 at Amazon Marketplace. This automated tweet shames her for doing so. Shame!

“I say to all the doubters, DUDE!” — Boris Johnson, in a speech with all the eloquence of Trump

Oh jeez it's a high of 30°C here this afternoon.

Someone, please, avenge my death.

Everyone plays Minecraft survival but why does no one play Minecraft deathvival where you need to finish the game but die as much as possible at the same time.

On this, the 50th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, enjoy this track (one of my faves) that puts music to voice recordings from the moon landing! youtube.com/watch?v=BHIo6qwJar

Short Treks season 2: Ooo, more Enterprise crew stuff—and H. Jon Benjamin shouting about tribbles. That's neat.

Lower Decks: Wow this animated adult comedy looks exactly like every other animated adult comedy. Quelle surprise.

Fifty years ago today did man first set foot on the moon, and in all that time we've done bugger all since.

I mean, that's basically just all of the Brexiteer complaints in a nutshell.

People who complain about environmental protestors remind me of that guy who sued Mr Incredible in the Incredibles.

re: UK politics, Extinction Rebellion 

The funny thing is, for all the people complaining about it, is that this isn't even particularly new for Bristol.

A few years ago we had a recurring event called Make Sundays Special, where most of the city centre would just be closed to traffic, the space given over to deckchairs and games and a giant water slide once—and it was frickin' awesome.

Onto day three of XR's occupation of Bristol and it's actually really swell.

Traffic isn't really any worse than normal. Large areas of the city centre are devoid of traffic and much more pedestrian friendly. I've seen way more cyclists about, and my commute actually takes less time because roads aren't an obstacle anymore.

The actual occupation site is like a chill festival. There's information tents, live music, children playing in the streets, small wares and what I think was a clothes swap. And incredibly tidy too. It's really an ocean of calm surrounded by chaos.

Overall, I kinda prefer it this way.

I installed me some macOS Catalina beta (on my main computer, no less) and—though there's some annoying little bugs—the only real problems I've had have been with third-party app incompatibility.
