*video essay voice* David Lynch’s connection to Oz, whether intentionally or not, extends to Fire Walk With Me. Much like Wicked, Fire Walk With Me is a darker prequel that explores the origins of the deceased character from the start of the story and the primary antagonist of the original work

"I asked Grok, and..."

Okay, well I asked a gonk droid, and it went gonk.

Cheap AliExpress light fitting stopped powering on. Cracked it open after ruling out everything else... prodded bits of circuit board with the multimeter for a while without much knowledge of what I'm doing... saw a capacitor at a jaunty looking angle so gave it a push back into place. Bingo!! #diy

wife: how was guarding the two paths today, honey?

guard: [looking away] fine

wife: did something happen?

guard: [tearing up] no

wife: would the other guard tell me something happened?

You’ve got to hand it to Tupperware. So versatile.

Had another round of skirting board this weekend!! I now know how to scribe skirting board to an uneven hard floor.

for the tech bros, imagine if someone invented a robot that stole all your money and did all your cocaine. that's how all this feels, on the user end

Boiler broken now too!!!

So far in 2025, everything is broken... The roof is leaking, the dehumidifier is making A Noise, and the barbecue blew over and smashed its door off. The dishwasher WAS leaking but we think we fixed that - beginning to think we should have left it as a sacrifice.

Trying to approach 2025 the way St. Margaret is approaching Beelzebub

Damn why does visiting the cinema have to be what brings out the KIDS THESE DAYS in me?

Saw Wicked, really enjoyed it! A teen/young adult in the row behind me had apparently been holding in the urge to sing along until the FINAL line 😑

Big thank you to @terminalmontage.bsky.social for enabling our christmas tree topper this year 🩷🎄 @wiggydee.bsky.social

We are in crunch time for our living room renovation – new carpet and sofa arrives next week. The semi-built-in TV unit I've designed and built needs to be finished by then, but I am now extremely sick with a turbo-cold 🥲

Person who has been reading Berserk for the first time (me) encountering literally anything:

"Hmm getting real Berserk vibes from this"

I've made this discovery way too late after the clocks changed... But one of my old LED lights for streaming doubles as a very ample outdoor work light!! That means I can claw back multiple hours of carpentry after work every day!! This is huge. I have literally FOUND TIME.

Sanding ceilings, or anything involving ceilings, is the devil's DIY
