Brooker’s doing “A Touch Of Cloth” again! THIS IS THE NEWS I NEEDED

Shot from the upcoming Netflix show, “Blackmere”.
It shows Paddy Considine walking down a road in the fictional town of Bleakford.
The shops behind him have signs saying 'Old Food', 'Used Vapes & Nappies', 'Depressing Chicken' and 'Rancid Goods'. There is an ad for a gig by “Cleared Band Name”

USWDS was created and maintained by people who genuinely care about making government websites work as well as possible for as many people as possible. It was an amazing thing to watch on its own. But then to see the adoption and contribution by teams all over the world - that was incredible.

if marooned on a desert island, I’d like to have The Queen's Island Victoria Male Voice Choir, which consisted mostly of shipbuilders alternatively, if the island is nice and comfy and affords pleasant relief from existential dread: Underworld

Casino Royale (2006), the twenty-first James Bond film, acts as a kind of reboot of the franchise and breaks a bunch of series traditions. Right after the opening credits, it shows something that's never been seen in a Bond film before: rain.

I just realized I hadn’t shared this one yet, but I wrote about how the team I’m on restructured its workflows to lean into the code review bottleneck rather than trying to eliminate it when code generation took over, and what that ended up doing: www.honeycomb.io/blog/embraci...

How I Came to Embrace the Code Review Bottleneck

Faced with an endless stream of AI-generated code reviews, our team made the counterintuitive choice to lean into the bottleneck rather than reduce it.

leaving aside the political economy of open-source software, "send a patch" for weird UI behaviour implies i should go off and do user research and personas and scenarios and storyboards and paper prototypes or whatever else and model out what YOUR PRODUCT should do in this or that situation

amongst all Roblox's tacky exploitative shockers for tweens I found a horror game that shook me to my very core

"Croydon: London Bus Simulator", a Roblox experience by Centro Interactive. At time of capture, it has over four thousand users in the game, down from about thirty-three thousand a few hours ago

Blue Bird Sour at Little Bird, Oakland. The claw-foot tub costs $15 to keep but the duck (who I have named Lyle) is mine.

A miniature ceramic claw foot tub sits on a bar. It contains a pale blue frothy drink, a small blue rubber duck, and a straw.

literally these are books that would be pulped if not bought for 10 cents on the dollar. do rare books sometimes make it into there? yeah, if someone is careless, but that's *upstream* of what happens on sale, not *downstream*. you fundamentally are rescuing something from the fucking pulper.
