Taking a break
In This Mess by Say Sue Me popped up on shuffle today, and I remembered the first time I saw them play it live at Ovantgarde. In between songs I was chatting with a friend who has also been watching them play since 2013. Both of us instantly shut up and paid attention.

Had a blast on the film camera photo walk in Yeongdo today. More people signed up than we had film for, and one person bought a film camera just to take part!

Enjoyed that game of Wibble Bibble Bam.

On my way to a photo walk I organized but only planned to film the event with my phone. My camera bag has 6 cameras and 8 rolls of film. 🤦‍♂️

On top of being a billionaire who spends his money on silly tech rather than solve societal problems that create his villains of the week, Batman is also a dick for constantly trying to take out the penguin for having a book collection full of classics.

I *think* this is the first occasion in history that we’ve had four living Presidents? #spéirghorm

Tonight we watched the Jane Goodall interview. She was great. The interviewer was bizarre. Constantly showing how excited he was for when she dies and the numbers he expected this show to do.

Watched season 4 of The Witcher this week, and while Hemsworth wasn't bad, it was such a big change. It was like if Viggo Mortensen as Aragorn was replaced by Owen Wilson. Both capable actors, but the face becomes too goofy looking.

Union-busting should be met with lawsuits and boycotts, across the board.

Rockstar already are banking on you paying €100 for a sandbox/service-game they've spent over a decade merely warming over from the last one.

This should be a massive red flag to you not to give them anymore of your money.
BREAKING: Yesterday Grand Theft Auto VI maker Rockstar Games fired dozens of people, all of whom were involved in union efforts. A British union calls it "blatant and ruthless" union-busting. Take-Two Interactive says it was due to misconduct.

Here's the scoop: www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
‘Grand Theft Auto’ Studio Accused of Union Busting After Firings
Union says 30 and 40 people were terminated. Rockstar Games’ parent company cites ‘gross misconduct’

(Possibly) finished the edit of my last interview for the year, made 2 days worth of a mexican style lentil dish, baked apple cinnamon oatmeal for breakfast, and baked 3 mini apple tarts for desserts. Plus 7km of dog walks. That's a good Monday.

I went outside and spoke to more than 5 people, which was exhausting. Rewarding myself and my wife with gingerbread pancakes for breakfast today.

Good morning Bluesky. Is there a reason why some Americanisms are completely unacceptable to Irish people, but others are perfectly fine?

I am thinking of an acquaintance to referred to the M1 as "the interstate" and will not do so again.

And yet "trick or treat" caught on...

Hard to believe 3 yrs have passed since the 10.29 이태원 참사 - a tragedy worsened by the Yoon admin’s diversion of police resources. Working-level officials took the fall while the Pres. spread conspiracy theories. Remember the lives lost, & the families still seeking truth.

오늘은 날씨가 확 추워져서 달래는 남편이 옷 입혀서(달래: 옷 싫어...) 산책 나갔다. 산에 올라가서 즐거운 시간을 보내고 춤(똥오줌 누고 뒷발차기 하는 거ㅋㅋ)도 6번이나 췄다고 😂😂

My distain for Róisín Murphy is limitless. To build your career on the support of LGBTQ+ fans, to now be blowing kisses to Linehan on X is sick. Enjoy the support of the transphobes and fash faking they like your work but anyone who knows dance music knows it wouldn’t be what it is without trans ppl

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government.

She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her.

So I confronted him.

It's been refreshing to move away from planning 2 day, multiple venue festivals, and back to small scale events. I'm happy if 10 people show up. But at the same time, without the ticketing and structure, it's always more worrying on the day when I have no idea if anyone is going to show up or not.
