PhilUnless this REALLY picks up in the final two episodes, I’m baffled by this review. I can’t wait to get it over with. The plot is “Spooks” levels of “espionage” nonsense. Thompson’s character, while likeable and against type, is hardly transformational. Whereas, Ruth Wilson playing an e...
It did not pick up. It continued to be mostly ordinary and more than a bit daft.
Five young New Yorkers throw their friend a going-away party the night that a monster the size of a skyscraper descends upon the city. Told from the point of view of their video camera, the film is a document of their attempt to survive the most surreal, horrifying event of their lives.
I made a *monkey user script that simply hides the #related sidebar on YouTube. I use YouTube for ambient noise (like this video) to help my concentration but (ironically), I often get distracted by the sidebar content when I go to switch it on #adhd
The one where I get very annoyed with my email provider
I had a similar thing from Dominos. They sent me an email that explicitly described itself as a “service message” from survey@feedback.dominosmarketing.co.uk
So, I emailed their DPO and they, obviously, just waved it away. How is anything that directly encourages me to engage with a business for the business’s benefit not direct marketing? 🤷
Where does your customer feedback function sit? Under marketing. So, gathering customer feedback is a marketing activity? No.
Is there maybe space for another ballroom? Or some other sort of redecorating project? Can’t be THAT hard to find something to distract him.
Managers so quick to dimiss complaints about workplace software until they actually have to use it.
“Why do we have to do it that way?”
In 1960s Wyoming, two men develop a strong emotional and sexual relationship that endures as a lifelong connection complicating their lives as they get married and start families of their own.
I cried so much at the end of this movie that we stayed so long the cleaners came in. Absolutely heartbroken, I was.
I could never watch it again.

All the major DC superheroes are starring in their own films, all but the Teen Titans, so Robin is determined to remedy this situation by getting over his role as a sidekick and becoming a movie star. Thus, with a few madcap ideas and an inspirational song in their hearts, the Teen Titans head to Hollywood to fulfill their dreams.
I’m not exactly a fan of the TV show but this is clever, funny and short. Other superhero movies could take note…

Can someone with time on their hands do a “Who said it?” quiz with #Trump versus Kim Jong Un, please?
We have a dedicated Discord server for our little hobby group. It’s been going six years now. It’s a wonderful safe space.
Today, though, this happened:
The Online Safety Act has struck. Some of my server buddies are a little outraged but I’m not too fussed. I’m absolutely onboard with the intention. The internet is full of horrible shit that I’d never want my children to see. Or my Dad, for that matter; not unless he REALLY wanted to.
But, as we all know, the implementation is useless. Not least because it’s completely avoidable.
Case in point: I asked the member if he’d been asked to complete the age verification process before he posted the gif. He had not.
So, we can all browse this sensitive content (on Tenor?), via Discord, without verifying our age, just as long as we’re looking at it in the “add a gif” dialogue?
OK. We’ve now established (work intrudes) that it was a gif of the chestburster scene in Alien. I’ve checked and I can, indeed, browse exactly these gifs via the dialogue without having verified my age.
I just… I’m speechless.
