Just gave this a rewatch with my other half who hadn't yet seen it. She agrees with my take that it's really very good.
I've never heard people talking about it, and I feel like it's very underappreciated. If you enjoy wonderful story telling, give it a go!

I did a little research on "Stuckie", the Scots word for Starlings, for my own curiosity.
In Scots a "Stuck" is a beam of wood. A "Stuckie" would therefore be the wee birds that roost on the beams/eves/rafters, which makes sense.
(This is my deduction, there are no official etymological sources!)

Not to brag, but I prestiged... In @chess.com puzzles!
I do at least 3 a day, but often much more. They're fun, and I enjoy making progress.

Not saying I had anything to do with this with my spam reporting of "Replica" listed counterfeits on Vinted, but they now don't let you even search for it!
(I still found like 10 counterfeits and reported them all, so they just don't let you SEARCH for it, but let you list them still)

The trivialisation and misuse of "OCD" leads to difficulties recognising the symptoms for those experiencing them which can be catastrophic. It also changes how they are viewed and treated by the public, and even government services and medical professionals.
Please think about how you use it! #OCD

Vinted takes down the products, but despite this being the 4th counterfeit item they've delisted from the user, they have not taken action on the account.
I feel like some tech journalist could get a decent story out of the counterfeit market on Vinted. Seems pretty big.

Left FFX-2, Right FFX.
The tone change between the two was wild for me back in the day.
FFX: "We're stuck in a loop of suffering and sacrifice"
FFX-2: "Woo! We're popstars! Jumping high-fives all round! WOO!"
Definitely agree, it's vibe was ahead of it's time!

Since I've been pushing to get out more @missusz.bsky.social got me the #LoopEarplugs Switch 2s.
Gave them a test run with a wee date to a local cafe and I'm surprised at the difference between the settings despite them just being mechanical. First impressions are good!

I've been continuing to work hard on my "Get outside rehab" and today is no different with a wee trip to a local cafe

I decided I was going to scribble some notes down for an idea I'm working on. Gimli decided I was not.
So I just started telling him about it, and accidentally had a small breakthrough.
It's like he did it deliberately. Wee cutie.

Do you like tasty stuff?
Then let me tell you about Doenjang, a Korean fermented soybean paste.
It is tasty. People describe it as having a sharp, salty, umami flavor. I'd add funky and a little fruity.
Mrs. Z and I have been adding it into almost everything. Yet to regret it!

Hey, someone tell me what I can do with this skill I presume is useless.
I can write ambidextrously and mirrored with both, comfortably. Left hand mirror writing is most satisfying to my brain, not sure why.
I'm normally a righty and my handwriting is awful in all forms 😂

What's a movie you really enjoyed, but think slipped under the radar?
Three Thousand Years of Longing with Tilda Swinton and Idris Elba fits this category for me. (Yes, this is a recommendation!)
