Henderson is awesome and Saka is having a phenomenal game! This is much more like it. Glad I tuned in despite the pointlessness of the playoff

OK, so I just saw The Odyssey. It's epic and incredible in many ways and yet... I felt nothing. Not even excitement. It's so clinical, with entirely functional dialogue in that emotionless Tenet style, and even the set pieces seem flat (compared to, say, the tentpole moments in LOTR and GoT). 🤷‍♂️

01:00 feels quite a long time away. 03:00 even more so. 03:45 in a penalties scenario I'm 50/50 on staying up vs feeling human in tomorrow's Teams calls.

New post from me musing on football, Burnham, the crisis of hidden labour in digital work, Bad Services and better org design models. Or you can skip past all that and find a bunch of useful links and cultural highlights :) neilojwilliams.net/the-month-wi... #weeknote @weeknotes-bot.bsky.social

Enjoying the World Cup of footballs but could really do without having a Mr Brightside earworm injected into my brain every night

Thought BACKROOMS was bloody excellent. Incredible production design. Uncanny like Lynch. Abstract like CUBE. Of the internet but absolutely a movie. Go out to a big screen for it!

I keep seeing people in black and white polka dots and wondering... do they not know about Angine de Poitrine, or are they a massive fan?

I'm not sure what this says about Keir Starmer's Britain but when I leave metal out the front, it's taking *weeks* for scrap metal people to appear out of nowhere and scoop it up.

Nearly done day 1 at SXSW London and would summarise every conference sesh I've attended so far as NON ESSENTIAL / coulda been a blog post / an AI answer. I am brutally culling the rest of my week's schedule.

Neil Williams @neillyneil.bsky.social · 28/05/2026

Back to work after a few days of half term videogames, DIY and garage clearance. A lot to squeeze in now in 2 days before SXSW London next week, which I'm hoping to haunt.

This new Health app Google just pushed to my phone (replacing fitbit) is a triumph so far. The UI is great, the proactive AI coach is a game changer, and suddenly my smart watch feels actually useful. I absolutely LOVE it. (And want to make something like this for film; or APIs for others to do so)

Neil Williams @neillyneil.bsky.social · 18/05/2026

OBSESSION (Curry Barker) is a 5/5 - I loved it! So good, so fun, rooted in universal truths and fears, a horror movie fan's horror movie. #horror #film #cinema

I have no idea how people other than me make a cup of coffee last as long as they do. It's a skill I'd like to cultivate.

SNL UK fairly hard to watch again but Aimee Lou Wood is the best host so far.

An appreciation post for BBC 6 Music. I love it so much and get so much pleasure from it every day. The celebration of Massive Attack Blue Lines has been a particular joy.

Oh lordy - look what's coming to BFI Player later in April. I think I *might* just be ready to face this again. If you haven't seen it, and you have the mettle, it's an astonishing high water mark of extreme horror. player.bfi.org.uk/subscription...

Tonight's #SNLuk is way better already. I howled at the Jools Holland bit. The hostage girlie chat skit also excellent. It's better when it stops being about Britain through the eyes of tourists.

Phew, Project Hail Mary is a very good time, and does about as much justice to the book as you could hope for given how hard that is to pull off.

Queuing at bars is WAY BETTER than linear crowding and trying to get served. I disagree with the assumption in this article that queuing is a backwards step! www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle...
