My son went to see Resident Evil yesterday, and we got into talking about the slow zombie vs fast and supernatural vs viral zombie split, and how you can clearly see an existing folklore split into two competing schools. This made me realise that 28 Days Later is the zombie protestant reformation.

My wife put on Pride & Prejudice & Zombies to watch with my daughter for a fun girls movie night. Turns out my daughter has never seen Pride & Prejudice so not only does she have no context for it, she's going to be VERY confused when she eventually sees the original.

My YouTube algorithm has decided to serve me up a ton of Nina Hagen, who I hadn't listened to before. Right now I'm putting her in the same bucket as Sleaford Mods - objectively annoying and borderline unlistenable, but there's just something compelling there that makes me enjoy it.

LinkedIn serves exactly one useful purpose that AI slop is threatening. Just like Facebook shows which of your family are terminally gullible and Twitter shows which of your acquaintances are now Nazis, LinkedIn highlights which of your former colleagues are absolute, insufferable wankers

Was just very excited about a concert with QOTSA, Primus and Tropical Fuck Storm announced an hour or so ago. In between going to the ticket website and seeing there was pre-sales available and taking like 2 minutes to sign up an account to register, there's no more pre-sales. Fuck scalper bots.

Let me be EXCEEDINGLY clear: the "round thing in your face" that gets you "sprung" in Baby Got Back is a woman's huge ass. I'm sick to death of seeing people on the timeline argue it's something else spherical or circular. This is the exact sort of erasure of women's huge asses Mix tried to address.

PDFs with 3d models in them can go fuck themselves - it's taken me hours to analyse something that should have taken like 15 minutes since they keep bricking my computer and at best take 5+ minutes to load. Acrobat is using 5.5Gb of RAM to open a 34Mb pdf. Fuck you, adobe

Had to catch the bus for a few days and I had more strange encounters than I've had in years. It culminated with the last bus trip. I'd been standing the whole way, and a lady who smelled overpoweringly like Listerine loud-whispered "YOUR CALVES ARE INSANE" in my ear as she was getting off

@weirdmedieval.bsky.social love the latest episode, just wanted to give you a heads up though. A few times in this and some previous episodes, the audio that normally plays in between segments (monks singing? Something like that) is missing, so there is a few occurrences of ~15 seconds of silence.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

I know remakes are a mixed bag, sometimes they're great, sometimes they're horrible, mostly they're meh. But to miss the point THIS much is pretty mind blowing. They should follow it up with a remake of Come And See focused entirely on a meet-cute during a bit of a stressful week.

Oh god, I just realised that since the stupidest thing is always what happens these days, I would bet a small amount of money that when the US invades Greenland it will declare war on the Netherlands, because Americans are CONSTANTLY confusing it and Denmark. Is it because "Dutch" starts with a D?

Holy shit, despite being relatively well versed in nuclear history I don't know much about South Africa's program. I'd heard briefly about this guy but didn't know this part of the story, just a vague "he sabotaged it". Clever as fuck.

I've spent the holidays relearning bass using my right hand (I used to play left handed, but my family got me an awesome right-handed 5 string without realising), and learning left handed guitar (an old, broken Magnum that I rescued from the dump), never played before. Confusing, to say the least.

I was talking to my 11yo daughter about music at high school, and she said she'd been working on a few songs using the garage band sequencer and would let me hear one. I expected simple kids music, but she's apparently Aphex Twins understudy. Mind blowing EDM. Hopefully she shares it.
