I found I’ve no desire to rewatch Glass Onion though

Rewatched Knives Out (the first) ahead of seeing Wake Up Dead Man tomorrow and it’s still almost perfect to me. Just the criminal waste of LaKeith Stanfield saddens me.

The "what were the words heard by the Nazi child masturbating in the bathroom?" hit even harder, funnier this time around.

Dolly Parton has been a good person all her life. She does so many kind things for people. Compare that to someone like JK Rowling who wakes up every day and decides to be an absolute asshole.

in 2007, steve jobs promised an all-in-one device that would serve as a cell phone, an ipod, and an internet device. what he introduced next was the Mac Pack: a 135-pound backpack with a pull-over steel dome housing a computer monitor, a 14-foot aerial antenna, and a 900-foot retractable power cable

Reminds me of this classic story of the couple that had a garden ornament that was actually a live shell from a Royal Navy gunship. www.bbc.com/news/uk-wale...

Milford Haven: Garden ornament turns out to be live bomb

Sian and Jeffrey Edwards had always assumed the 64lb naval shell in their garden was a "dummy".

Talking to a member of bomb disposal recently*, they said most of their work is now to the houses of the wartime generation who are dying off or moving into care, because they'd brought back a souvenir.

* why was I? See above

in clearing the house out my dad found what we'd spent years assuming was some spare wooden steering wheel for one of his classic car projects but turns out it's from a Vickers bomber from pre-WW2

everybody’s jealous of me since I decided to get plastic surgery to have Cuttlefish skin. they‘re resentful because I camouflage myself as a brick wall or a gorseberry bush in order to steal their croissants off their plates at cafes. I’ve never felt so beautiful

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

I lack the genius to have thought of “Daft Punk should score a Tron movie” or “NIИ should score the next Tron movie” and I cannot comprehend who could come next

Dad’s books are full of empathy, common sense, and a healthy suspicion of the powerful. But at its heart his work is also about how systems keep people poor while pretending it’s their own fault. So I hope Kemi’s taking notes as well as reading the jokes.

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

Michael Hobbes @michaelhobbes.bsky.social · 1d

It's so incredible how low homicide rates are in Europe. The UK, with a population of 70 million people, had fewer than 600 murders in 2023.

Important news from the bone pit:

The council have grassed over the flowerbed in the graveyard so though bones will continue to rise and still surface occasionally, their main escape route has been cut off, and their appearance should be less regular.
