Cheeky Haggis tonight. If you haven’t had a haggis in a while, a cold, wet, windy November night is a good excuse. Tasty.

Great Scott! The restored 40th anniversary print of Back to the Future is an absolute treat. Watched it tonight at Commodore Cinema. The film moves at pace. I don’t think there is a wasted scene. Great script, excellent performances from the cast and the music pops. Seek this out at the cinema. 🍿🎥🎞️

TIL that there are many more mountains in Antarctica than I had ever thought about. The largest is Mount Vinson, about 4,892m high; for comparison, Snowden is 1,085m, Ben Nevis is about 1,300m and Everest is about 8,800m. Mount Vinson is 8th highest in the world. 1/2

Finally watched Emmy winning Adolesence on Netflix. 4 episodes showing events unfold. Excellent performances & storytelling. Each episode is all in one take, so technical challenge too & creative shots moving around the different locations. I highly recommend it.

Me: That dodo seems to run very fast. Do we think that is natural?
Scientist: that may be a side effect of the little bit of cheetah DNA we had to use to complete the process. It’ll be fine. 😮😀

Scientists claim they’ve made ‘pivotal step’ in bringing back the dodo for first time in 300 years
Thousands of dodos could return within a decade according to Colossal Biosciences, a ‘de-extinction’ company – but experts warn of ‘moral hazard’

Apple Music appears to have a release date, years before the iMac was released, let alone iTunes / Apple Music was created. On the plus side, one of the tracks from this remastered version is available now. The remastered album will be out sometime soon … around 1985 😀
