Every week, BBC Four reruns episodes of Top Of The Pops from the mid-90’s and it’s joyous. So many hairstyles, so many pockets, so much miming.

This is a great read. Resonated with me as we head into yet another chaotic planning period at my day job.

I’ve only watched the first few minutes, but the answer to the first Siri question sounds like someone in a leadership call justifying a huge delay... “V1 was basically half of V2 anyway. We rebuilt it, but this is definitely not a rebuild.”

A few episodes into Drive To Survive. I thought the Horner allegations were going to be the most awkward thing to watch, turns out it was seeing Zak Brown’s feet.

There is a great book hiding just out of sight of this one. A compelling idea but the author doesn’t wring it for all it’s worth and we’re left with a smaller, more pedestrian and much less satisfying book as a result 📚⚡️

The recent Alien movies haven’t been up my alley, but Alien: Romulus was great. Got straight to the point, clear plot, not overloaded with lore but throwbacks to the other films for fans.

It’s on Disney+ at the moment.

I’m finding Bluesky a much better social media experience. It’s not trying to ram random posts in my feed, custom feeds seem good. Now experimenting with following more people.

This interview with the Bluesky CTO is interesting if you’re interested in the technical side.

I’m 5 episodes into Netflix’s “Bodkin” and it’s good, definitely worth checking out. Set in Ireland, it’s a mystery, drama with some dark humour and Will Forte’s in it.

While I'm suggesting pop music, you should check out "21st Century Cool Girl" by Chloe Qisha. Light pop, a few synths and it has the same opening as Dolly Parton's 9 to 5.

One cool thing is that Spotify now has native “pre-save” functionality. Artists have long offered third party versions, but you had to give all your data and Spotify access to the third party apps. I like the countdown UI too.
