Yes! Finally finished it! What a great build this was, I loved it! Not usually a fan of these large scale figures, I usually like ships and scenes, but this really was fun and it looks fantastic I think 😄 #StarWars #Lego

I asked Copilot to help remove the lens flare/ghosting from one of my Jupiter photos and to perform standard editing (like what you’d do on your phone) without adding anything new to the picture.

So here’s the original alongside the Copilot cleaned up version:

Here’s another video. This is using a higher magnification, however that does make the image more blurry, and I was using my iPhone. But I hope you like it! It was a thrill to be able to see and record actual Jupiter and its moons in this much detail from my garden. #Jupiter #Stargazing

I purposefully didn’t choose any kind of ‘news’ or ‘politics’ in my interests on this site because I wanted to try and get away from all that.

It’s all I can see all over my feed.

I’m so sick on America and American politics. Just please stfu, stay in your own country, and fuck off.

Jupiter is at opposition right now, and on Friday 9th January it was the closest to Earth it will be all year. This is a raw video I filmed on my iPhone phone strapped to the lens of my fairly novice telescope (hence the len flare/ghosting) of Jupiter and it’s 4 Galilean moons. #Jupiter #Stargazing

I noticed this really hard in the new Stranger Things season. The person speaking has barely finished their last word and the second person responds to finish their sentence, and it feels really unnatural and rehearsed. And it’s very noticeable when filmed like this.
Sometimes during a movie or TV show when people are having a discussion, often someone responds immediately after the other person stops talking, when it reality they would need at least a second to think.

It comes off as unnatural and unrealistic.

Laura and I broke out the Lego we got from Christmas last night. I didn’t realise she’d never had a Lego set before 😱 The one I surprised her with on Christmas is her first! She loved it!

I said it in episode 1 and I still feel it now. I think Fiona is the secret traitor. She’s just playing this whole ‘clueless little old lady’ routine way too much. And she wouldn’t be suspected by the other players at all. #TraitorsUK #SecretTraitor

OK, let’s talk about the ending.

#StrangerThings #SPOILERS

So, did Eleven (Jane) actually die by sacrifice at the end or did she (and Kali) use mind trickery to escape and live in Norway or some place? The ending allows us to choose, like an adventure book. Let’s look at some clues though:

I started #StrangerThings in my late 20s at university and ended it on my sofa, with my wife, in our house, after our baby had gone to bed.

This series has been with people for so long, longer than normal for 5 seasons, and I think thats why the end feels bittersweet. #IBelieve

Well, that’s it. Stranger Things has officially ended. I liked the last season. It was a monumental task to finish it satisfactorily, and although it was a little too saccharine at the end, I think they did a decent job of it. I’d be interested in more. #StrangerThings #IBelieve

I’m genuinely enjoying Pokémon Z-A but the excessive hand-holding in the beginning is grating on me. I want to explore at *my* pace. Instead I’m getting dragged around the whole city being shown everything I should have discovered on my own (or with quests I can do at my own pace). #PokemonZA

I have one of these! I thought it was just a manufacturing error but this is fascinating. The book is around 130 years old though so I won’t be cutting it. What a great piece of history.
The browser clearly thought I was bonkers, but it's true. Every serious reader used to keep a knife for opening books. Sometimes you find old books that have uncut pages at the end—because the owner didn't finish the book—or because they never used the index.

I didn’t reach my very moderate reading goal this year, but I did read more books than I have previously. Next year I want to work through some of the amazing books I’ve been gifted these past few years. Some are a little on the chonky side, but I’m determined to read even just a few of them.

I keep seeing people say ‘nothing happened’ in the last 3 Stranger Things episodes. Aside from explaining what the Upside Down is and Vecna’s final plan and how to stop him, they closed all of the characters’ emotional storylines. They prepared them all, and us, for the final battle.

Three days of Christmas and now I’m exhausted. A day in today relaxing and watching Stranger Things before it’s spoiled for me.

I didn’t see this movie until last year and this thing still terrified me
This individual had no right being in a *Muppets* movie.

We found Little Alex Horne! What a great advent calendar this was. Lots of fun to do together over December! #TM24 #taskmaster

So many presents to wrap this year, but we’re all done! We haven’t gone mad with Orsi’s since she’s so you g anyway. It’s mostly just stuff we wanted to get anyway. And for us, we’ve spent a little extra this year after saving so hard and having a pretty rough year.

It’s hard to describe how much joy it brings me to make my 4 month old baby laugh.

Tried to make a silicone mould of our daughter’s handprint (in flour clay) and it didn’t go well. Full of air bubbles that weren’t there when I poured it. And the process destroyed the original 😭 No idea what happened. Gonna try again with air dry clay and see if the results are better.
