My favourite Columbo episodes are the ones where the director decides to use a new TV effect for no reason apart from it was presumably new and cutting edge at the time. Like the 3 minute segment in Season 1 Episode 2 Death Lends a Hand where the Robert Culp storyline is a reflection in his glasses.

Vinted have suspended my account for some reason which is hilarious albeit frustrating. Although they refuse to actually tell me what other than being 'disrespectful' in private messages but have blocked access to those messages. Anyway that solves my vinted habit.

Okay Heated Rivalry is insanely good and I think it's for 2 reasons. First it's not a teen coming out drama and second it's something you have to watch or you miss a key moment. Like no second screen time is happening here or you miss the subtle glances and the list and angst. #HeatedRivalry

For some reason these kinds of posts really annoy me. You either know who made this (because you saw their post and chose to not credit them) or you know who posted it for you to see it (and chose not to credit them). Either way you chose to not credit the person who created it or the poster.

I had my first Zoom since the pandemic and had to install the software. Okay. Installed then launched to join meeting. Then it immediately wants to update. Like why not just install the version for my device in the first place!

When your snippet and headline and social media copy are exactly the same I'm just assuming you have no idea what you are doing.

Particularly when their readership numbers are so low (even when they include the free ones at airports and hotels). BBC news has a larger viewership than all top 3 newspapers combined. Why do they let them define the agenda?

Hey @financialtimes.com isn't it about time you changed this share option to include Bluesky (and remove X)? You presumably have data to show which gives you the most traffic.
