Thank you Brighton and #FFConf, a great time was had as always.

Leaving a little joy in the codebase for future me.
A python test that checks for invalid system languages. It's checking for the Star Wars languages Ghor and Shyriiwook.

Hello Leeds, lovely to be back. I don’t think I’ve ever had to pack sunscreen for @heypresents.com before.
Leeds Post Office Square, surrounded by buildings. The sky is a deep blue with wispy clouds. People are milling about enjoying the sun.

We mustn't dwell... no, not today. We CAN'T. Not on Rex Manning day!
A badge of Rex Manning from Empire Records, around the edge of the badge is a purple ring saying “Happy Rex Manning Day!”

Good work Wikipedia editor. A+, no notes.
The Wikipedia page for Pogonophobia, the fear of beards. The illustrative image is of Friedrich Engels sporting a large beard, and the caption reads "Friedrich Engels; a man with a big beard"

I love the random crisp flavours that turn up in my local corner shop.
A packet of Lays “creamy forest mushroom” flavoured crisps.

Is it really a screening of Hundreds Of Beavers if an actual beaver doesn’t sit in front of you?
The view from the third row of the Ultimate Picture Palace cinema. In the background is the screen, just in front is a guy in a yellow beanie, and someone in a giant beaver costume.

Productive visit to my local bookshop. That’s my weekend sorted.

Thank you @ryannorth.ca @kierongillen.bsky.social @stephaniehans.bsky.social @claytoncowles.bsky.social for putting lovely things into the world.

@ryannorth.ca @chrisfenoglio.bsky.social Warp Your Own Way was a big hit at the comic book club this month. I thought you’d like to see a couple of photos of all the bookmarks, and re-reading at the table 😊

Oh cool! #uksnow OX4 6/10. Really didn’t think it was going to make it this far south today. It’s big boots and coat weather!

This is a great run down of the why and how. Plus it comes with an excellent how-to graphic.

It’s Sunday evening, I have a bit of a wine buzz on. Must be time for the second Evolution of Horror homework assignment.

Doing my homework before next week’s Evolution of Horror episode. I forgot how much I love this film. /cc @mikemuncer.bsky.social
The view from my sofa, my feet are at the bottom of the frame, resting on my coffee table, the TV on the wall shows a scene from Deep Blue Sea.

If you don’t hear from me this weekend it’s all @ryannorth.ca and @chrisfenoglio.bsky.social’s fault.
A copy of the Lower Decks “Warp Your Own Way” book by Ryan North and Chris Fenoglio is sitting on a table. Last month’s Empire film magazine is trying to get into shot at the top of the frame. It’s probably jealous.
