We didn't have screens up in my old bar, but I kind of love the idea of having an algorithm to pick out video that is beatmatched to whatever music is playing, as a makeshift music video that is kind of fun. I promise it wouldn't always be this video

Before I got to the end of posting, I was fixating on songs to mash up either visually or sounds-wise with Hungry Like the Wolf by Duran Duran. I think there's probably a Blackpink video you could play over the audio of the song and it'd visually synch. Lovesick Girls maybe? May have my answer...

Is my most neurodiverse trait making/enjoying mashups across everything I do, or regularly going hungry because I cannot decide what I want to eat?

Like, I get that it means coders have to reinvent the wheel substantially less, but if adequate protections cannot be put in place for new stuff, doesn’t it make it hard to justify creating new things if they can be ripped off in no time at all?

I confess to not understanding fully, but it seems like computers being able to decompile a large proportion of current code, where previously the complexity of that was treated as a security feature, might prove to be a bad thing.

Host - ghost film shot over Zoom during the pandemic Sleep - Korean horror about an insomniac (check trigger warnings before watching) The Exorcism of Emily Rose - clever courtroom drama/exorcism mashup The Autopsy of Jane Doe - Stephen King said not to watch it alone.

Once one game has been finished, I wonder if it’ll have a better ‘campaign ran to a satisfactory conclusion ratio’ than Dungeons & Dragons?

As a man who has ADD, works a lot, and gets in his own head about how to start conversations (especially when I’m really into someone), this poster makes me unreasonably mad.

Honestly, it’s wild that the word ‘Spangled’ appears in a national anthem. I don’t know that I have heard it in any other context. I might have heard the word ‘Vajazzled’ used in more different scenarios.

It was playing Red Bridge back in Odyssey standard, against UG madness, and realising I had all the tools I needed to dismantle them if I played well enough, but that I wouldn’t get there by accident.

Finally got around to watching the newest Spiderman movie before it left cinemas. I kind of enjoyed it, but honestly I think I need to re-evaluate what films to watch at the cinema.

It's clearly not a Bad Thing, but something about the new Jace precon having Sol Ring, 10 two mana rocks and 3 three mana rocks leaves me a bit uninspired. I already eat my veggies - don't subject me to this many more!

Played my first over the board game of Blood Bowl in aaaaages. Halflings are tricksy ones to use but I was able to dig out a 2-2 draw without taking any long term injuries. I’ll take it! Morgan Treeman threw Tiny Hawk Pro Skater and Small McCartney for quite the air force.

I may have been booked by a magic luminary to do a show that is itself a bit of an illusion.

I learned that sometimes the secret to a great magic trick can be that we don’t understand how knitting works.

I came 2nd in a pub quiz on my own, in spite of there being an entire round about Alabama, where I’ve never been.

I danced a lot. In a murderous ceilidh, on a regular dancefloor to 90s bangers played by one of my favourite comedians. All over the place.

I watched a poet whose work I’d introduced my friend Tom to act as the officiant at his wedding. That poet made me tear up at least 4 times over the weekend.

On my way home after A trip to Seattle via Iceland A truly incredible wedding A magic convention Looking forward to having a little sit, but as I sit on the train, I will make a little list of nonsenses that have happened since I last slept in my own bed.

So the cheapest flight from Edinburgh to London is via Majorca. If I didn’t have work to get back to, I’d totally do this for the bit.

The wedding I’m at today has a lot of magicians at it, and a ‘no magic unless you’re booked to do magic’ policy with searches and an amnesty box at the door. While I’m obviously not going to break the rules, I am also very tempted to try to sneak as many props past security as I can.

Tried on my kilt for tomorrow (my friend Tom’s wedding) and honestly, I feel fucking great in it. No photo spoilers, but tomorrow there will be *many*

Tim Willoughby @timswheelbarrow.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
I fly to Edinburgh tomorrow - if I’m not in the right place at the right time in my kilt for my friend Tom’s wedding, I think I would die of a mix of shame, embarrassment and defenestration.

Well, I had a lovely little slice of life evening in Seattle. Watched the Seahawks threading the needle to continue their streak, while finishing 2nd in a pub quiz, then drank my prizes with some locals while talking sports, politics, nonsense. Most satisfactory.

I have never experienced it before that a layover in an airport leaves me wanting to visit a country properly, but right now I’m in Iceland and now I really want to visit.

Commander is pretty great so I really wouldn’t want to change anything big and be solely responsible for the ramifications. I think I would tweak the bracket system such that at brackets 3 and 4 players reveal the Game Changers they are playing

Just 1. I’m in Iceland now, and it is LOVELY

Absolutely we bring decks! I have two with me for this trip, and anticipate getting in games after hours with both. Potentially a draft or two or maybe some board games as well. Most fun game is tricky, but I enjoy the whimsy in a lot of @rebell.bsky.social’s decks.

I think that legendary vehicles as commanders is both silly on its face and actively closes off design, rather than opening it up. Not opposed to the line of text ‘This may be your commander’ but strongly dislike the whole class getting that (typically very weird) buff.

Having done my packing the night before travelling, it feels *inevitable* that I will both oversleep, and have forgotten to pack something really important.

I know that jealousy isn’t a pretty sentiment, but I confess to be hopelessly jealous of those in functional long term relationships. Give your person a little squeeze, get them a nice gift, spend some quality time with them.

Working on a new Commander deck that I feel like @budgetcommander.bsky.social may well approve of. No sleeves required for this particular Wizard deck, working title 'Gandalf the Chad' No creatures, largely big dumb spells, and if Big G gets all his equipment, things might get a little wild.
