Alright I used Sky Follower Bridge so I guess I'll be following a lot more people.
Looking at guides to old cameras online and there are a load of capital-C Collectors filming informational videos where they clearly just hate the camera and consider it a waste of time to be taking photos on it.
Why bother? Why do you own it in that case?

The signs are there that Valve is interested in TF3. The question is, what do you even put in such a game? The mercs are symbolic and beloved characters and if you replace them you might as well just name it something else.
Dataminers found evidence of 'Team Fortress 3'. Yes, '3'. From Valve. I'll believe it when I see it, but I'm legally obligated to get my hopes up. Set to release sometime this century, probably.

Team Fortress 3 Reportedly in Production, Datamined Evidence Reveals — NeonLightsMedia
Credible insider Tyler McVicker and new datamined evidence suggest Valve is moving forward with Team Fortress 3, codenamed 'TF'. But it's still 5+ years away.

Was noticing that someone at work looks pale, always seems to have an open wound. Today he said he only eats porridge, eggs, and bread. Ah yes that would be it.

Yup! That's another certified CUCK SCHUMER ™ Moment
Sounds like the squishes in the senate caucus are ready to pull the plug with no ACA changes. This is real. If you want to register your opinion you shld call yr senator in the next hour. They not only want to reopen w/nothing. They want cover from their colleagues who still want to hold out.

My mother is low-key becoming a BLM supporter because she's being negatively polarised by hatred of a local aristocrat, who still owns plantations.

I spoke to the person at the camera shop and the reason for the light leak was probably because of how I took the film out.
The manual is a little unclear a to exactly how to do it, and whatever happened, I did it incorrectly.
Fortunately this indicates there is not an issue with the camera itself.

Alright some things to learn here but wow that shot of Molly is incredible. Seems to have been some sort of issue with how there's a line about a fifth of the way from the right, probably a light leak.

Was briefly tempted by the Victoria 3 jumper but honestly for £45 it looks really cheap?

Sounds hypervigilant but when people call me Tommy I get the impression they are subtly infantilising/demeaning me. OTOH I don't mind it if it's from a friend.
You be the judge: should my best friend stop calling me by a nickname?

Priscilla knows that when Chioma calls her ‘Pris’ she means no harm – but finds it very annoying. You get to name the offending party

Bridget Phillipson claims to be a socialist and as a socialist she should be interested in the successes of socialists abroad, especially in a country that is so close to us and has such influence
But a truly embarrassing response from Labour Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson on Sky: “I’ll be honest, I don’t follow American politics especially closely”.
Which says more than she thinks.

Greenwald's article about Lee Rigby that Mamdani was criticised for sharing was not as bad as I expected. If that's the best they can do, well they don't have much.

Someone needs to tell the Vote Blue No Matter Who crowd that are saying "I'm not voting for him because of XYZ against the party" doesn't actually make sense when your whole position is, you know, voting blue no matter who. If your position was "vote for most blues" you wouldn't be a hypocrite!
The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Well this was an odd film. It has many threads and is never really able to satisfactorily cover any of them. It's "anything goes" approach to historical accuracy begins to irritate at times, especially when modern English idioms creep in.
I did find it compelling.

Just on the whole cultural appropriation thing, anyone is welcome to appropriate English food except Americans. I don't know what horrors you would unleash upon the Dorset Apple Cake but I don't want to see it.
