I’ve had the whim to walk to the neighbourhood where I grew up, and ended up in a burger joint I didn’t know (it’s been two decades). It just so happens it belongs to the couple who used to own the joint I frequented as a kid… #StraightToTheKokoro

¡Cohone, que como no espabilemos se nos pasa la oportunidad de ver Focas marinas en Prime! PS: pagad las traducciones, mother focas
A preview of 1990s Navy SEALs as seen on the Spanish version of Amazon Prime Video. The title appears mistranslated as "Focas marinas", which is the Spanish for "sea seals" (the animal).

I’ve just read about the government’s idea to push Youtube and similar platforms to boost the discoverability of content from traditional public service broadcasters and whichever news sources they deem trustworthy. Blocking users/channels is a thing, right?

Sony, the company about to revoke access to over 500 films users paid by users via PlayStation due to licensing agreements, now say they’re getting rid of games in physical format. I thought it would be a new Zelda that convinced me of getting a Switch 2.

Watching “Rental Family”, I’ve noticed that whenever someone speaks Japanese, English subtitles present the translation…except for the term “gaijin”, which suddenly becomes “[speaks in Japanese]” 🤨 Way to wrap Americans in cotton wool, Disney+! 🙇‍♀️

Browsing in the British Library shop, I saw this lovely jigsaw puzzle based on the life and works of Oscar Wilde. It contains references to his plays and tales, and he appears himself, as well as his wife and children.
The box of a jigsaw puzzle, with the label “The world of Oscar Wilde: A jigsaw puzzle by Adam Simpson”. The cover is illustrated with snippets of Wilde’s tales, plays and novel, as well as references to his own life.

Today, in "ADHD is not a trait, it's Darwinism trying to kill me"... ...I put the moka pot on the stove and go back to work. A while later, I was savouring some coffee while doing my stuff. It took me a while to realise I was not drinking coffee. I was smelling the macchinetta burning downstairs.
