I remember the 80s and look, tbh I am mostly on Mastodon or Discord (weirdly also found myself on last.fm a lot too) but all my social media is linked on my website.

Did I realise the Netflix recommendation algorithm wouldn't know I had already seen Frankenstein at #LFF so I watched it again at home? Yes. Love that all these algorithms have finally figured out what I'll watch but always too late lol. #LastFourWatched

Udo Kier dies his way through film history. He screams, falls, lies, is cut into pieces, shot or commits suicide. Again and again his empty gaze, again and again his rigid body. In 54 years as an acto...

I continue to be baffled by how if I book the 5-6pm time slot for grocery delivery, the groceries without fail get delivered before 4.50pm every time. If I book 5.30-6.30pm though, they arrive within that hour as expected.

uh, that’s not “reimagining” the novel. that’s…the novel.
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains. n.pr/3L5exuu

Having seen 12 films in the last 6 days, I'm actually pretty excited about having a lil nap when I get home from work tomorrow and not going outside for at least 24 hours.

I do really enjoy seeing lots of films at the film festival, but wow I am tired. There are SO MANY ones that sound good this year though and I put a bunch on my watchlist when I was deciding what I wanted to see and now I have been chatting to some older lady in the cinema and have added more

People get so weird about blocking, as though it's punishment for something. And I understand. But also:
People have the right to curate their spaces. If someone needs to NOT have me in THEIR space for their peace, good for them! I don't have the right to be in someone else's space.

A whole bunch of us have grown up in the UK knowing to flee in the other direction if we spot this flag anywhere. We’re not going to pause to see if there are stickers stuck below them.
And if they’re stuck elsewhere, we will not get close enough to see the text - again, we’re just going to leg it.

Free stickers suitable for flag-bearing lampposts. Send a large A4 envelope with a 1st class large stamp to me at Bragg Office, PO Box 6830 Bridport DT6 9BH and I’ll send you a sheet. #ReclaimtheFlag 🏴🏴🏴🇬🇧

This is going around again and it is not true. Like every site on the internet, Bluesky uses machine learning to do a first-pass approximation of image classification to detect and label content. They have repeatedly confirmed outside services do not use Bluesky user data to train their models.
