there’s a film that couldn’t be remade today. that film taught me if i ever come across a huge bag of cash probably involving gangs the first thing you do is move it to a new bag one note at a time to remove any tracking devices.

jeffrey archer “is it september already?”

oh that’s awesome!

I have a mouse that happens to have two extra buttons off to the side and mapping those to ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ has been the best thing i’ve ever done for my productivity. Also mapping middle mouse button to ‘screenshot to clipboard’ but that’s just a personal thing i happen to do a lot

that and having the legacy of ‘political genius who completely upended trump’s campaign by waiting until they’d over-committed and then not competing’

thank you!!

oh no

for everyone sake: phew. i feel sorry for him, he obviously lacks energy and needs to not be trying to run america and fight trump.

lord almighty that’s insane. yeah i’m so glad i’ve never come across that before!

just being a student doesn’t give you permission to use college campuses as you want. if you break rules or laws, there’s consequences for that. if you believe that what you stand for is the most important thing, then you accept the consequences as a feature of what you’re campaigning for. If you don’t, then your heart isn’t really in it and you just want to do whatever you want and get away with it because you feel like that’s what you deserve.

protesting has rules and boundaries. you are allowed to organise and protest within those, and going outside of that is usually a civil office (like trespass) or a criminal one depending on what goes on. These students are likely committing trespass.

i hear you, but there’s a difference between letting kids develop into adults and supporting students who trespass. You don’t just get to break laws because you’re a student and your school should support you to develop.

i’m not really sure how this is unfair. protesting can mean running up against laws and breaking them. the question is whether the cause you’re protesting for means enough to you to accept that.

yeah, i get that worry. there’s a lot of great stuff for all ages on youtube but lately the ads feel increasingly active and punishing.

hot damn!

I used to be anti-paw patrol but I’ve softened on that over time. It’s a bit soulless, but it’s not too bad. my daughter loves the catchphrases and frankly, the repetitiveness is part of the fun for her.

Show that I have loved:

super simple songs - aimed at cocomelon-age but it’s got a very high quality production, really lovely varying different video styles, much better music and songs, and in general much better everything. would recommend it over cocomelon any day.

mr men - there’s a ‘newer’ version of the show which is really quite good

pink panther - the old shows hold up surprisingly well but there’s a set of newer cartoons that are great fun too

spidey and amazing friends - my daughter is now the biggest spiderman fan because of it and i’ve found she also enjoys watching clips from the MCU/spiderverse films with me because of it. 10/10 recommended.

om nom & stories - bit weird how i remember this as the ‘cut the rope game character’ but as far as animation goes it’s really high quality.

super wings - relaly high quality animated show. like absurdly well rendered and exciting.

airport diaries - as an adult, it’s a bit odd. the stories are like half-formed and the animation and everything a bit janky. but my daughter is obsessed by talking planes at an airport so she loves it and i guess that’s what matters.

i’m sure there’s more but that’s a solid list.

i’m sure you mean this seriously, it just tickles me.

i was literally just thinking - the cars are driving on the left and the arrows are all driving on the right 😂

microsoft surface pen is my touchstone for this. the only way i could get new batteries was online and the pen lasted for so long if i bought a pack of 4 batteries i’d have lost the other two but the time they ran or so id need to but a whole new pack.
