As always, there's a Yes Minister scene for this.
Typical young man on the bus, before and after receiving a text from his significant other asking if he's remembered to get the things they'd asked him to add to the big shop.

There are so many young men around with short back and sides and well trimmed moustaches that I am concerned we are being culturally prepared to walk them all slowly towards the machine guns.

In the ancient days when cinema was black and white, if your name was 'Gates' you'd always be called 'Pearly'. 'White' => 'Chalky'. 'Miller' => 'Dusty'. etc.
Do we do nicknames like this any more?

This is really disappointing. I hope they save that sculpture, somehow.
I really love this building, and that sculpture. Why does so much of Cambridge have to be so bland?

I feel we should draw a veil over the number of mugs we own, @unamccormack.bsky.social
OK I’m at a friend’s house. Two people live here: my friend and his wife. He’s just opened the mug drawer. There are, I would say, 30 plus mugs. He maintains he has a normal number of mugs. I think it’s a LOT of mugs. What you all think?

And with that, I am up to date with Silent Witness. Fascinating to see the changes in TV drama storytelling over 30 years.
As with so many shows of the time, the 2010s and 2020s are characterized by fast-forwarding through pedestrian plotting, largely driven by characters doing stupid things.

My best friend died 2 months ago aged 30. Yesterday we had his memorial. It was a beautiful day but, because he didn't have a will, his estranged family took his body away from us. His partner of 13 years doesn't know when or where he was buried. Please please make a will x

I'm encouraged by the number of faces we've seen from the Bill in the last couple of seasons of Silent Witness.
I'm on the last 2 episodes of S28 just as S29E1 transmits.
Skipped merrily through the incredibly boring "infection on a plane" story, to get to the "implausible wedding" season closer.

Speaking of reviews Tr-49 is on 495. 500 is a threshold value. Er, help!
One negative review killed Pendragon. It was posted within hours of release: a detailed "objective" explanation of why they didn't connect with it.
But it's ticked as helpful by passing people *who have not played the game*. This keeps it pinned to the top.
It's longer than our description text.

RE that RT.. it’s wild how steam reviews are still so damn important to getting visibility. If you play and like indie games, the most generous and helpful thing you can do is spend an hour popping positive reviews onto anything you like with <500 or so reviews.

"Triumph of the Dull". Well done The Irish Times.
After 17 reviews the critics gave it a surprisingly high 12%.
My favorite came from the Irish Times, who termed it "Triumph of the Dull," as a nod to Leni Riefenstahl’s propaganda piece for Hitler, "Triumph of the Will."

I do a French Wordle every day. Today's was one of those words that I guessed from form but didn't actually know, even though it felt like it should be "common".
Turns out it was the name of the stick in a butter churn. So "once common, now rare".
