Film idea: ANTIGONE IN 60 SECONDS an action-greek-tragedy-heist where Angelina Jolie has to steal 50 cars, defy the King, and bury her brother before sunrise.

I'm into tech and all things digital. 💻 I write, talk, teach. Also give unsolicited opinions on cinema, theatre, and tv.
To give you an idea of how smart the new Alexa+ is: I give it a command, it says “Sorry, I can’t do that” and then does it anyway.
“Glove Slap” was a 30 sec joke in The Simpsons and yet somehow it has occupied permanent space in my brain for decades.
Sad to read this. I saw “Spring Awakening” about 18 years ago, and I can still remember the way those songs made me feel that night. Helped by a fantastic cast too (including Lea Michelle and Jonathan Groff)
The Associated Press@apnews.com · last wk.Duncan Sheik, the Tony- and Grammy-winning singer-songwriter who crafted the music for "Spring Awakening," has died at 56.
Engineers are looking for more efficient ways to heat our homes, meanwhile a bagel I toasted 15 mins ago is maintaining a core temperature of 700 degrees.
I don’t like that they’ve moved the Share button in Safari in iOS 27 😡
Bug report: when you use the new self-service tills in Co-op and pay by card, they say “Please take your change”. Which is, of course, ridiculous.
“Pressure” gripped me. I wasn’t sure you could create this much tension around “weather-or-not” the D-Day landings would succeed, but Andrew Scott is hugely watchable. You can see the pressure mounting across his face. A strong ensemble cast helps bring all the elements together.
Wow, can’t believe she brought out Stuart Little to sing “I’m Alive”

Remember when people wanted fluoride free toothpaste so the 5G pigeons couldn’t mind control them.
I’m having my own Bayeux Tapestry exhibition at home by shuffling very slowly past my towel rack with the lights off.
I’ve had two and half coffees already #fullycaffeinatedfriday
I don’t quite get how the latest Spider-Man film is making so much money. I liked it, but I wouldn’t have thought it was good enough to be making over $2 billion!
Well, it’s certainly an element. The question is how many of our 100 people knew it?
“The sender would like to recall this email.” Too late! Your Microsoft Exchange server tricks have no power here. I’ve got it now, and I’m going to read every single word.
I went to all these apple filming locations last month. What a coincidence.
Apple office workers trying to get on with work while their boss is yapping about neural engines to camera.
Got an OOO that says they won’t respond to my email until July 2027. Okay then.
Had my first look at the yassification of George Square this morning. I think it’s a good start, and not nearly as bad as some people are complaining about.
The woman who installed my smart meter said she liked my soap.
Sometimes I’m innocently reading something then I hit a “And here’s the kicker…” and immediately want to die.
