After seeing yet another “code because it’s your personality, not just for money” cycle today, I wonder…do other trades enjoy the smell of their own farts as much as people who write computer code?

I used to think Elric of Melniboné was unfilmable, but last night the ongoing mainstreaming of step kink via cool CGI dragons changed my mind. Aegon and Halaena will be married and breeding by the end of the season. At this point Elric and Cymoril are passé.

I guess I enjoyed Rings of Power, but…there’s definitely a Carrie Mathison feel to Galadriel.
I bet you one hundred shiny Middle-Earth dollars that they’ll be some moral ambiguity in Celebrimbor’s relationship with Annatar.

Shorter Scott Morrison: “Now honestly what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for conspiracy to commit chemistry? Do they?”

House of the Dragon reminded me of everything I hated about Game of Thrones. And it sure wasn’t the last season.

I’m hoping in iOS 16 that Siri stops responding to chicken sizzling in the pan.

Ok. So.
A thing that amuses me to no end is I’m not really that interested in blogging, or even tweeting/tooting/whatever-ing. And yet I spend a lot of time building out an Indieweb/micropub system for myself.

They lampshade it a little bit in the very first sentence, but perhaps don’t go far enough.
I’ve been reading variants of this piece since the mid-1990s. And likely that’s just when I started noticing it.

“How do you get any work done?”
“That is my work. Meeting people is my work.”
“Sounds like a shit job, particularly for someone who doesn’t like people. You didn’t plan that well.”
So supportive.

I hear a professional performative arsehole put on the makeup and the costume and got out there and did their arsehole dance today.

They’re talking about going to karaoke after the team Xmas party next week. I just hope they have some John Cage in the options.

Dune continues to be dull trash, three hours of moody, undergraduate cod-philosophy starring Space Jesus and his dad, The Quiet American, come to save the natives. Avatar, but desert.
Like Avatar, it will inexplicably make bajillions.

The Meta logo looks like the infinity symbol, only it’s gotten old and tired and sagging…
Just like their ideas and vision. Perfect!

Maybe it’ll be different for a landscape display, but there’s a lot of fury and sarcasm out there this morning for a notch I basically never even notice.

Oof, get some of that in ya, Teddie boy.

Spoiler, but screw it…
‘Sandy says “Whatever!”’ is absolutely going into my rotation of stock responses to emails I want nothing to do with.

Whatever upgrade Apple pushed on my overnight, it bumped me to Safari 15. UI aside - its awful but I guess I will become used to it - it should be table stakes for a browser in 2021 to never ever ever lose open tabs

Gosh, there’s some angry caping for a poor defenceless trillion dollar multinational over this USB-C thing from the EU.

There’s a few writers I read just about everything I can find of theirs. Lech Blaine is one of them. Sometimes when I read, in parts I can almost close my eyes and be walking down Bourbong Street. www.theguardian.com/australia…

Google Calendar has added an Insights panel to my view, gleefully telling me how much of my week was spent in meetings, It’s not yet able to capture how many hours I spent bored by pointless waffle, but when it asks for camera access, I’ll know the feature is ready.

Why are we, in Australia, reacting to what Friedersdorf wrote? He is, and I cannot stress this enough, Peak American. He values the freedom to be a jackass far above the freedom to be a human.

It’s not being locked down that is doing my head in. It’s that my neighbours are also locked down. I’d love to eat my lunch outside in the sun but someone has been drilling and sawing and sanding all day for weeks.

Only an android would think video calls needed fewer body language cues.

Love to able to tell manager didn’t read my self-reflection as we start my review. Love to write my own review during the review. Love to see Other Colleague’s name in the copy pasta.
I’m old and ugly, so I’ll shrug it off. Going to have to check in with the younger peeps.
