Me, coding a thing and ambiently chatting to a friend:
"I think I know what the issue is, and I think I know how to fix it"

Me, having tried thirty other "potentially better" solutions, three hours later:

Legitimately a great series!
The Batman TV series premiered on this day in 1966.

Slightly late to the party, but I've finally got round to watching The Long Walk. I thoroughly enjoyed it, with another standout performance from David Jonsson.

And Tiny Tim, who did NOT die, was present at the end of the universe, having witnessed every black hole evaporate and every proton decay. Even so, Death would not come.

Early morning idea: Sporklers

Acts as both a spoon and a sparkler. Incredibly dangerous, should not be invented

One of those headlines where each new word really does make everything the story is about worse...
Kohler claims its smart toilets are end-to-end encrypted. They don't seem to understand what that phrase actually means

Wake Up Dead Man is a great film. A cracking array of characters and a brilliant mystery at the core of it. Well worth a watch

Given it's what he's been doing for over 20 years, it does feel quite cruel to the others to have a task that's basically "Make a weird short film" when Reece Shearsmith is taking part.

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear
