Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 21/09/2026Merciful Jesus let me count the ways I shall not be here. I’ve hated the Ed Sheeran and Coldplay since long before it was cool 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 19/09/2026For Batman Day, here’s my favourite moment of recent times from Absolute Batman That kid totally deserved it 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 19/09/2026Picked this up for 50p in my local Forbidden Planet and it’s really interesting to look back at the house ads and see just how varied Wildstorm’s range was. It genuinely makes me sad that it all got wound up and (poorly) integrated into DC, who have never known what to do with it all 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 17/09/2026Me: ok it’s well past time I put all my comics and graphic novels in order Me, 2 hours in: oh no 210
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 17/09/2026SEE, IT WORKS! Apologies, this is the only progress I have made on any front today so I’m enjoying it 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 17/09/2026FINALLY managed to get badges working for this app, so I can actually see if someone likes something or messages me without having to open the app first like some absolute <insert pejorative of choice> 110
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 16/09/2026Fox Mask Killer is off to an excellent start with some fantastic art by @adamgorham.bsky.social and the team! If you hold it up to your ear you can practically hear the soundtrack of ominous drones 142
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 09/09/2026This is the most Friday-coded Wednesday I’ve experienced this year 010
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 07/08/2026Deadman Issue 3 is genuinely something spectacular, well done to all involved. After a long slump, DC are really showing Marvel how to make comics at the moment. #Deadman #DC 141
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 06/08/2026“The concurrency lobby quickly discovered they could trade developer sanity for performance.” Lovely deep dive into some of the concerns Python developers should be aware of when dealing with concurrency #Python #async oedokumaci.com/blog/posts/python-co… 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 16/07/2026I mean, they’re wrong but I can definitely see their point #Python 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 15/07/2026‘Vertigo’ by U2 is just ‘Dirty Boots’ by Sonic Youth with a louder distortion pedal. There, I said it. #Topical 020
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 29/05/2026And it’s a firm welcome back to them. Yes it’s not the strongest in their discography but it’s still an amazing album 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Needless to say this is something I am pretty excited about. Ok folks, I’m going in, see you on the other side open.spotify.com/album/0mu3EvWYfNwB… 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 13/05/2026Also, this is one of those “sharks are older than the North Star?!?” moments, but did you know the Python programming language is older than the Russian Federation? kowal.dev/blog/python-is-weird 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 13/05/2026I am currently listening to my Spotify All Time Top Tunes playlist and (as often happens when debugging) I temporarily forgot my current surroundings. I start to tune back in and my first thought was “wow this playlist is amazing, every song is a banger, wonder who created it?” 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 12/05/2026Just had one of those wonderful moments where I wish I could pull up a seat and watch the events unfurl. Walking to the train station and pass a timetravelling London yuppie from the 80’s, talking to the front taxi in the taxi queue, clearly not happy with what he has been told 100
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I’ve given Squarepushers new album “Kammerkonzert” multiple chances but I just can’t get into it. There are a few signs of life but on the whole I wouldn’t say it was one of his best. Anyone else feeling this? 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 28/04/2026Also, is there anything more insane than the fact that neither Atmosphere, Dead Souls or Love Will Tear Us Apart were on either of their albums? I mean, I know Factory were famous for some of their decisions but that’s just mind-boggling #JoyDivision #Factory 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 28/04/2026I’m on a bit of a “Rediscovering Joy Division” kick at the moment. They were massively important to me when I was younger but I haven’t listened to them in ages, and the first thing that hit me is how viscerally “wrong” it is when Hooky’s bass goes low on “Disorder” #JoyDivision 100
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I know Mark Millar can be a contentious subject but Frank Quietly’s artwork isn’t surely? This has to be one of the most powerful panels ever drawn 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Another year, another “let’s enter the ballot for the London Marathon!” under my belt. #WishMeLuck 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Checking out the Forbidden Planet list for #NCBD tomorrow and there’s literally nothing decent from Marvel atm. They had a great thing going with the Ultimate Universe but for some reason they pulled the rug out from underneath the creators 020
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 17/04/2026I normally save this pic for genuine news headlines, but I did also take the family to Alnwick Gardens today and stupidly thought there’d be some kind of family discount ticket 110
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 16/04/2026So is there a reason for all the shakiness or are we safe to assume DNS? 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 16/04/2026New Massive Attack and Tom FREAKING Waits!! I am excite! #TomWaits #MassiveAttack youtu.be/L-57FrioeuE...youtu.beMassive Attack, Tom Waits - Boots on the Ground 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 14/04/2026I genuinely did not think it would be this difficult to get an app to cross post to Threads, Mastodon, BlueSky and Twitter. @openvibe.social is the best so far but still falls short on Twitter. 110
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 13/04/2026Okay @openvibe.social , let’s see how good you are 000
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 26/03/2026It was an absolute joy to pick up the new Dept of Truth and see @templesmith.bsky.social doing some incredible work, it made me wish there was more Fell in the world. 051
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 22/03/2026So sorry to hear about the passing of Sam Kieth. He gets a lot of compliments on his artwork but for me the storytelling in The Maxx was some of the bravest going on at that time, dealing with subjects and approaches that few would dare tackle. 010
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 03/01/2026emergency @therestpolitics.bsky.social podcast incoming I presume? 010
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 21/11/2025Hang on, Daryl Hannah and Neil Young are married?!? 030
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 09/08/2025ok yeah so that was totally the wrong idea, nice one 'past me'. 010
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 09/08/2025Finally watching Mulholland Drive. I’m a big David Lynch fan but for some reason I’ve never got round to watching it. I’m also on my own tonight, is this going to be a big mistake? 140
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 02/07/2025I love reading Python code, and I have learned so much from going through the Requests, Flask and pyca/cryptography repos. This is a really interesting readthrough of one of the stdlib modules that I wouldn’t ever have considered. #python #developer www.beyonddream.me/post-5/beyonddream.meCode reading: The python std lib module - shelve.py 010
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 09/05/2025Listening to “the rest is classified” on Edward Snowden, and I know one of the hosts is ex-CIA but I’d stupidly hoped for a bit more objectivity 010
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 02/05/2025Another election, another time to rollout this pic 020
Candlelands @candlelands.bsky.social · 20/04/2025Reading Nightmare Before Xmas to my daughter before bed is always a joy, but I just cannot get “Macabre” and “job” to fit, without putting on a strong American accent, anyone else faced this problem? 010
