Just read an article on the BBC saying you should probably give about £10 to an end of year collection for your child's teacher. As a teacher, good grief no. If you want to, great, but don't feel in any way obliged. We get paid and if your child cares about learning that's a gift in itself.

Thomas Tuchel giving off big 'divorced dad being the fun parent then handing over the exhausted, grumpy child to mum to deal with' energy.

AIs spread misinformation, persuade humans to kill themselves, convince once reputable scientists to publish articles in their favour and are put into tons of software where they can interact 1:1 with humans. Their 'owners' are building data centres as fast as they can to the detriment 1/2

How have we ended up in a world where, when I order a lawnmower direct from the lawnmower company, I get an email telling me my order from "Multi channel logistics" is on the way?

Finished watching Sinners 10 minutes before the Oscars started. I'm already outraged that it didn't win best supporting actress but even more so that it wasn't even beaten by one battle after another. Some bullshit going on there.

I know Assassin's Creed games are a formula and everything, but you've got to respect the Shadows devs making their two protagonists a young woman and a black samurai. Superb stuff. And I love the formula.

Started playing TR-49 and it has really got its hooks into me. Compelling in the way that Obra Dinn was and just as perfectly pitched. I can't see myself playing anything else until I've unravelled the mystery.

This is the turning point. State goons shot a citizen in the face for disobeying them. That gets prosecuted or the descent into a fascist state is complete.

Don't really understand why the whole of Europe isn't ready for war with Russia when Russia has failed to take over one European country successfully for three years.

Took me a couple of episodes to get used to Liam Hemsworth as the new Witcher but he's alright. Episode 6 though, bloody hell! Yen is absolute fire.

Witcher season 4 initial recap is amazing. A Witcher? Oh, I think there was one in the previous 3 series, occasionally, not very often. Face? No, you never saw his face. You'll recognise him by the hairstyle though.

Just discovered that Olivia Rodrigo got Robert Smith out for two songs at Glastonbury. Such a boost for old bastards like me.

My favourite thing about Bluesky is that it offers a very direct way to tell artists and authors that you love their work. That's always worth doing. If you don't love someone's work you should just save yourself the effort and keep quiet.
