Farewell to Bristol's Odeon on Union Street that closes today.

Saw so many classics there over the years, but the opening night screening of Deep Blue Sea in 1999 will forever remain a highlight with the whole audience screaming, cheering and gasping in surprise at certain key deaths!

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

I've written a little script converting the great work done by the national Bass directory (nationalbassdirectory.wordpress.com) onto google maps:

If my analysis of my #letterboxdfriday #lastfourwatched is correct, going to be a good weekend for films. I'm planning to watch Casino Royale and Anora so could well be accurate

I've tried to work out the distribution of total Beatles minutes listened based on two data points from my Spotify wrapped this year and last year. It's not a great model, as 70% of listeners listen to less than 0 minutes. Suggestions / more data points welcome
