I remember when there was a discussion on Twitter about Shein's manufacturing practices and some apologists invented all sorts of fantastical machinery and technology to avoid facing the more horrifying truth. Reminds me of this comedian's joke.

Comic from 2021 when Perseverance Rover was flying its cute little drone around and we were all wearing masks
![[This is a cartoon stripo with a monologue from the MARS PERSEVERANCE ROVER who is rolling around Mars on its own, sending a message back to Mission Control]
HEY GUYS
SO... I KNOW YOU'RE EXPECTING ME TO SEND YOU MORE DRONE VIDEOS BUT...
*SIGH*
I'M GDING ON DIGITAL DETOX.
I FEEL LIKE I JUST NEED SOME TIME
TO BE PRESENT WITH MYSELF, HERE ON MARS.
I MEAN,
I KNOW YOU WANT PICTURES OF THE ROCKS AND ALL THAT
BUT LIKE
WHY CAN'T I JUST
EXPERIENCE THE ROCKS?
WHY DO I NEED THIS CONSTANT VALIDATION?
TO PROVE I EXIST?
SO 1'M LOGGING OFF.
BECAUSE AFTER ALL...
THE REAL DISCOVERIES?
THEY'RE THE ONES WE MAKE WITHIN.
X X X.

If we don’t signal our virtue every now and again - then so many believe they are utterly alone - “virtue signalling” is not there to say “aren’t I good” but “there are more of us than you might imagine” and “fuck you for demanding that only the brutal and the bullies may speak”

I never thought that Guillermo Del Toro would make a worse #Frankenstein movie than Kenneth Branagh, but here we are.

For fully the last 15 mins of Del Toro's Frankenstein all I could hear in my head was Garth Marenghi.

I made a “how do you do, fellow kids?” joke to someone in their mid 20s who, it turns out, was too young to have heard of that meme.
So “how do you do, fellow kids?” is now an example of “how do you do, fellow kids?”

My mum just said to me "You should be hung like a horse". When I challenged her over saying such a thing, it transpires she thought it was a punishment horses got. Turns out she's been incorrectly using the phrase since the 90s in various settings

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

Hate those clickbaity articles that are like “12 minutes to an amazing ass!” And it’s always just exercise, and never a google maps location.

My favourite Halloween shop window display so far, on The Old High Street in Folkestone. One of the bunnies was jittering around (no, I didnt imagine it). Bonus points for the dvd.

One thing I like about #SlowHorses: at the end of each season there's a trailer for the next, which they've already made. None of this waiting 2 years nonsense.

I have been traveling and today I present to you...the thing I saw in the Frankfurt airport.
Is it efficient? Undeniably. Does it probably work better than the normal way? Oh certainly. Produce less of a mess? Probably?
But the existence of Condiment Udders gives me a deep, aghast disquiet.

This was fun. I like seeing advances in movie tech that aren't just 'we'll fix it in post'. (Or, as I'm sure will be the case pretty soon 'we'll do it with AI').
