@heavyweight.bsky.social I know this is due to recent, replayed episodes, but you have to admit, this is quite funny 🤣

Black Mirror isn't really what it used to be but by goodness that Eulogy episode was great, Paul Giamatti is incredible.

FWIW, I'd love to be a STEM teacher but I don't see a path that doesn't result in a ~50% pay cut initially, which kinda sucks 😔

I have listened to the song Frontier Psychiatrist a million times and I’ve even looked at sample breakdowns, but this video of the samples being places in an Ableton session is so fun and instructive. youtu.be/Epr8xDE3Kgk?...

Re-watched Severance season 1 in preparation for season 2 and boy oh boy had I forgotten how good it was. I felt that the pacing was incredible, and the tension in that last episode... If season 2 is shit, please don't tell me.

I've started just asking people to turn it down, it's more socially acceptable than their behaviour and generally, if you do it politely enough, you get to feel quite nice about humanity when they comply.

This is great, I've really missed this, no other podcast filled this particular emotion hole for me.

#albumsof2024 so I ran out of time and didn't wanna drag this into Jan. These were the ones I didn't post. FWIW, the Lminl album was my fave Northern Irish thing, the Armand Hammer was my fave rap, the GY!BE album was just beautiful and Nxworries was Knxwledge's smoothest production to date xx

Matt Hazley @matthazley.com · Jan 6

Lovely, let me know what you think. I had about 6 more but am travelling so haven't had time to get them all out before January. I'll maybe just screenshot the list for completion.

Is it possible to perform a denial of service on a Bluetooth speaker? I'm very curious to learn whether this is achievable... Theoretically of course 🫣

Matt Hazley @matthazley.com · Dec 30

Yeah! Thanks for the share....

#albumsof2024 Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay - vibey, futuristic pop music with strong lyrics and a mad theme about getting a compact disc installed in her head and relearning what it is to be human, forget Brat summer, it's Imaginal Disk autumn

#albumsof2024 Fantasy World by Lilacs & Champagne - one of my tops for the year, two members of Grails doing some wild Dilla/Madlib type stuff but played (?) by a band (?). Honestly, I can't genre this. Post-rock-beat-hop? I'm confused but it's great
