Interested in satire, comedy, music, books, go, and ice cream
This week I discovered quite a fine film "Colossus: The Forbin project". One of the better efforts of 1970s science fiction.
I was just about to give up on democracy, and then I learnt that Ukraine was a dictatorship, and the world seemed suddenly like a warm safe place again. #disneyland

Came across some old episodes of Doctor Who, most of which I'd seen before. The characters in the age of John Pertwee were usually quite charming in their way, even if the costumes were atrocious. The spirodons for instance, what on earth is that purple fake fur thing they have going on? #lorealparis #drwho #daleks
By the time my working day is over ALL the qualification games for the EGF professional title have already finished #baduk #misery #exploitation #mintchocolate
UN officials censored criticism of Saudi Arabia at the 2024 Internet Governance Forum, removing remarks from the official record & threatening civil society groups. The UN must stop enabling host governments’ repression. https://www.hrw.org/news/2025/02/06/un-censors-criticism-saudi-arabia-internet-conference
I like the ballad of Lucy Jordan a little more, but this comes very close https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHrsv0NVa6k Farewell Marianne
One more sentence added to the script.
Northern Ireland continues to have a electrical nightmare 😢
Everytime I listen to Starship's "Nothings gonna stop us now" I feel genuinely uplifted. Clealy linked to watching Mannequin as a young child and finding the concept idioticly hilarious.
When you look at the damage #stormeowyn caused, it really brings home the sheer scale of trouble climate change is bring down on us all. Northern Ireland's infrastucture wasn't able to cope with winds like this, but the winds will be coming back.
Maybe near to a fifth of Northern Ireland seems to be hit by power outages. Sammy Wilson will probably tell them to cheer up and get down the chippy. #globalwarming
@zaunkoenig I'm afraid that I don't know, because I don't normally use any!
Rewatching #ulysse31 with the kids, it's just so endearing
When I was young, I used to spend too much time looking up obscure sidelines in chess openings. Now I seem to be able to refute them with Nibbler and LeelaZero in a short analysis session #chess #apocalpyse
What if it unbalanced?
