Listened again to The Lovecraft Investigations 1 and 2, which is not usually a thing I do in spring, it's my December listening. Audio is better than TV. Better pictures. 020

macbett.bsky.social @macbett.bsky.social · 23/04/2025"The tunnels are full of zombies... and rats. You can see light ahead: Union Square. An army guy told Natalie they'd left some incendiary bombs there after the evacuation." A friend in New York says this is an exaggeration but given current news reports, I'm looking for a second opinion. 000
macbett.bsky.social @macbett.bsky.social · 23/04/2025"Manhattan has become crumbling and overgrown." "The entry to the subway is nearby – you can see the half-burned stairs. Attempts to clear the subways out were not successful. In Brooklyn, all entrances are barricaded to keep the dead inside." 100
macbett.bsky.social @macbett.bsky.social · 23/04/2025Yesterday, my running app had descriptions of New York: "In the early days, Brooklyn threw up blockades across Brooklyn Bridge to stop zombies entering. The zombies have rotted down to limbs and heads since then, half merged with the wood." 110
macbett.bsky.social @macbett.bsky.social · 21/03/2025Just for curiosity... what's the average time between unboxing a new phone, and actually getting all the apps logged in and connected, and the settings back to what they were on the old phone and the way you like them? Has anybody ever managed to do it before the end of life of the new phone? 110

macbett.bsky.social @macbett.bsky.social · 14/03/2025Don't actually remember who it was against, but it was at Old Trafford, and therefore, by definition, it was Baltic cold. I do not understand how it can be 25 degrees out on the concourse, and scarf and gloves temperatures inside. 010
macbett.bsky.social @macbett.bsky.social · 23/02/2025It's disconcerting, isn't it, when your country does a thing that makes you go 'wait, WHAT?'
