Currently working on a poster design for the next @boardgamesireland.com convention and all the terrible generative AI posters out there these days has really pushed me to go high effort. This was my kitchen table last night. That’s components from 59 boardgames I’ve assembled into a collage there.
Sprawl of boardgame 59 components laid out on a white sheet on a messy kitchen table.  Sprawl of boardgame 59 components laid out on a white sheet on a messy kitchen table.

It’s a real bummer that the new Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure series has an outro tune produced by an alleged abuser. Traditionally the outro has a classic pop music track playing over it. So I did my own version with an appropriate 80s track instead.

Breakfast at Bewleys. Nice to see Gaza Cola on sale here as the only cola.

The youngest person his pager attack killed was 9-year-old Fatima Abdullah, who had just started 4th grade. The pager was on a table when it went off and she picked it up to take to her dad. It exploded in her face and reports said it covered the room in her blood. She wanted to learn English.

Cool. Already got a response from Fingal CC. Like the sign while ugly is also on a traffic light poll at head height so it’s also a dangerous obstacle. I’d have yanked it down myself but I want to make sure they get fined.

Normally wouldn’t be bothered reporting illegal advertising signs put up on the street to the council. But when they use AI for the poster design you better believe I’ll make the time to report it.

Been teaching my self Python and as a little project I wanted a program that would take the list of movies I’ve watched as part of my movie club and cross reference it the list of actor deaths this year so it outputs a list of the movies we’ve watched that featured those actors.

Can’t believe I’m sick on Transformers Day (anniversary of the first broadcast of the cartoon) and can’t go see the movie rerelease at the cinema. Although I’m more of an orthodox Transformers fan and observe that holiday on May 8th (anniversary of the publication of the first comic book)

PANEL 1: MATTIE and ANOTHER GIRL are sitting at a bar.
MATTIE: I'M JUST LIKE…WHY DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG!
GIRL: I LIKE TO THINK OF MY PRE-TRANSITION SELF AS AN OLD FRIEND THAT CARRIED ME TO WHERE I NEEDED TO BE.

PANEL 2: The OTHER GIRL puts a hand on MATTIE'S shoulder.
GIRL: IT TOOK THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT WAS GOING TO TAKE.
GIRL: HOW DO YOU THINK OF YOURSELF FROM THEN?

PANEL 3: MATTIE, in the nude, covered in blood, hunched over a corpse. She's holding big chunks of it, clearly having eaten it.
MATTIE: HAHAH GET FUCKED IDIOT!

PANEL 4: MATTIE, back in the bar, closing her eyes.
MATTIE: BASICALLY THE SAME.

Comet Pizza didn't actually have trafficked children in the basement but Brian Thompson did make $10M a year innovating ways to deny people medicare coverage. Hope this helps.

Was back in the @nearfm.ie studios today recording new #AudioDrama “When Ernest Met Scott” by Eddie Naughton. It got pretty lively.

During COVID lockdown I started a little online movie club with friends where we’d chat and watch cult movies each Sunday evening. Well 6 years later and we’re still doing it and we should hit movie 600 next month. boxd.it/cQDlK

Was playing a boardgame today that you can only play through once as it has a bunch of secret envelopes to open and you get write on cards and put stickers down on the board.

Having an BER A rated home is kind of a nightmare in this weather especially as I’m on new meds that make temperature regulation difficult. Currently catching up on work in the garden where it’s finally cool.

Matt Farley's Local Legends is free on YouTube this week. It was on my Sight & Sound ballot, it has the potential to change your life, and it's only 75 minutes long. If you watch only one movie on my recommendation for the rest of your life... www.youtube.com/watch?v=w5ms...
