Ugh I agree, I loathe them. I remember when my brother came at me with the "Indy didn't need to be in Raiders!" spiel and subjected the poor lad to a rant about how this shit just doesn't matter.

As is always correct and in accordance with all the laws of the internet, I just watched Tom Holland's epic Lip Sync Battle performance, and now I am sharing it with all of you so you can do the same.

Exactly! And most people are mature enough to go "oh hey look" and then just move on. You don't look cooler for "catching out" the film-making.

Stumbled across a video of someone gleefully pointing out a visible stunt double and acting like they’d beaten a film because they’d spotted it.

Just enjoy things, you boring fucker.

(I am playing a card bard next though. Witchy and tarot-y and shifty af. Exciting)

Finished our dnd campaign tonight. I loved our little bunch of misfits. And especially my mushroom druid. She was naive and innocent and deadly and a blast to play.

Yeah it's been looming for a good while.

I like that life conspires to make really petty things happen to me before my counselling session.

I think I still have my Edd somewhere! Was obsessed with the jumper

Ooh I haven't read any Horwood. I will add to the list. And yeah, Hobb's characters are just SO rich, they feel real. Even the commitment to have her narrator be a deeply flawed and frustrating individual feels big.

I was like that last night reading all the stuff with the Pale Woman. Even my husband was like "erm... are you ok?" as I sobbed into my pillow.

Becky @beckygracelea.bsky.social · 2d

Oh man, I was not well.

Becky @beckygracelea.bsky.social · 2d

I love Fitz (irritatingly daft as he is at times) and the Fool so much. I was crying last night as well!

If you like fantasy and haven't read Robin Hobb, you should read Robin Hobb.

Finished Fool's Fate over lunch in the office and I thiiiiiink I got a way with the little cry I had.

Note to self to not finish Assassin's Fate in the office when I get to it. Because I suspect I'll be a mess.

I tell you what, I've gone around roundabouts less circular than the conversation I've been having all morning.

Autistic woman can leave work toilets any time she fucking feels like it

An autistic woman hiding in a toilet cubicle at work can reportedly leave whenever she wants, alright? Alma Montague, 31, has merely taken a brief respite from her colleagues on the Sales team, just…

Entertainment websites are disappearing, or having to double down on clickbait etc to keep going. A few thoughts, and a presumably futile request to Google for some guidance.

Okay then, Google: tell us what to do | The future of entertainment websites

Google's search results are, sadly, damaging lots of websites. What does Google actually want? And is it what a human being would want?

Living in an area full of Canada geese means twice a year, the skies are full of incredibly beautiful sights. And the air is full of the sounds of HONKHONKHONKHONK.

Why do they keep entrusting the bridge to ENSIGN Harry Kim? ENSIGN. Who keeps getting kidnapped, taken over, or dying.
