Intro post:
My day job is helping people and companies make the best use of the internet. I create and support theatre, spend a lot of time in cinemas, love Terry Pratchett (GNU), and have a tendency to waffle.
I had 15 minutes of fame back on the bird site:

Does the ICC really give venues "Demerit points"?
Perhaps they should rename the match referee "Head Prefect".

Sometimes someone happens to remind me of the dark monsters lurking in my mind. Some invaders like depression that I wish to expel, others very much part of me that I can only hope are kept in check by the Directing Dark.

Apparently MSM doesn't take Christmas off from being bigotry. Lots of lovely racism and transphobia going on.
Remember that danger in toilets and changing rooms is an issue made up by Christian nationalists who will come after the rights of everyone who isn't a cis strait white man next.

Couple of unintentionally funny bits [1] in the credits for The War Between the Land and the Sea. No spoilers here.
A) my brain would read job titles with the U word in as U.N.I.T. production manager etc.

I started writing something about "The first time I saw (one aspect) of Jackson Lamb's management style in fiction was Mustrum Ridcully" but it sounded a bit too much like a tryhard LinkedIn motivational post.

Based on the full moon being present during one of the songs on Christmas eve, the Muppets Christmas Carol takes place exactly on Christmas 1844.
This means that if we assume a human lifespan, Gonzo would've likely been too old to be Jack the Ripper in 1888. Just in case you were wondering.

I may play the games
(It is a Christmas movie, Debian, crust, it doesn't have to even be a roast, bread roll, vim?, etc)
But the golden rules are:
Don't be a dick
Don't yuk someone's yum
especially at Christmas.

Hank Green commented while talking about the American huge retail super event that is BFCM (Black Friday Cyber Monday) and how it has also spread overseas that he thought this would be the last context where we used "cyber"
Which I think is a great thesis.

A little early for the second house of @mitchbenn.bsky.social doing a live reading of A Christmas Carol so chanced my arm with the venue bar.
Managed to work out where the great man was in the story before I could make out the words from intonation.

And I thought my suggestion the other day of one of the big gambling firms merging with Only Fans was a stretch.
A trifecta! Truth Social, cryptocurrency & fusion power. Three investments that can only pay off by finding a Greater Fool. (OK, OK, one of them might pay off in your grandchildrens' lifetime.)
