Potentially unpopular opinion: SD cards don't need to be so small. We were fine when they were all 24mm. We gain nothing by storing data on these microscopic pieces of plastic that would just as soon become lost forever down the floorboards after an ill-timed sneeze.

Careers Week at the kids school. A deeply humbling experience, having to answer, "Did you make the Avengers? Do you work for Disney? Do you know Jack Black? Did you make Spiderman?" 🤣

Absolutely loved "Cat Person" on Netflix. The film brilliantly portrays what it's like to date as a young woman, while masterfully exposing how society's expectations and pressures (and sometimes lack thereof) cause immeasurable harm to everyone. A must-watch for anyone who has, is currently, or will someday date other humans... Also anyone who appreciates the accomplishment of creating almost unwatchably cringe sex scenes.

Working from home with your partner means sending a flirty chat message in passing at 10:26am, answering some emails, then returning 15 minutes later to discover that the situation has escalated and you have 27 unread chat messages.

That's a wrap! Incredible day shooting an upcoming music video at Future Leap Clifton with the obscenely talented Dizraeli. Watch this space for the edit... 🌱☘️🌿

If you're not making one comically tiny pancake for each child and telling them that's all the breakfast they get, what are you even doing?

question. We have two kids. The 16yo is , we think the 11yo is .

When one of them does something wrong and we don't know which one, they will both claim it wasn't them. We find that upsetting, because one of them is lying to us.

We don't want to punish. We want a conversation about what happened and why, and an apology.

But it can take days of asking before one of them admits it, and that time is horrible. How can we get whoever did it to admit it sooner?

@RPBook I can't speak to parenting children with autism and ADD but I can say what's worked in our home. We have a special object that, when held by one of the kids, they can't get in trouble for telling us the truth. All we're allowed to say is "thank you for being honest" if they tell us something while they're holding it.

@RPBook Bonus points if you use the object yourself to regularly "confess" something of your own, having forgotten the milk at the store, or losing something on the train. Having them practice being the forgiver can help them get used to the concept.

Today the 10yo didn't finish her toast in time to leave the house, so she brought it with her. When she finished, she's asked if she could have more.

More toast.

On the motorway.

Cancer robbed my of two things that have made me pretty angry. I missed seeing what could possibly (probably) be Depeche Mode's last tour. I also had to cancel seeing another band I love, The Kills. I used to see so much live music and I think that part of my life is over. 😡 So for that I will say

@MattMerk This is heartbreaking. It's not over! You've made so much progress these last few months, you'll get there again ❤️

You just have to love how kids pick up your phrases. New development: Everything the 7yo thinks I get wrong, gets followed with, "... and I think you already know that."

BF, proud of himself: "I've already half-finished two jobs that weren't even on my list today."

Me: "That's very ADHD of you."

I just heard the best explanation of AI tech bros. "This is what happens when you're a nerd but you think you're too cool to read sci-fi. You eventually come up with it all yourself and think you created it."

"That's what's happening there [in AI tech]. It's dark, and cramped, and sweaty, and it's growing mushrooms, and some of those mushrooms are fucking fascists."

🤣 The latest Behind the Bastards podcast is great.

Bluey is so amazing. 🤣 The mum, Chili, has the best lines.

"That's what happens when you're not happy with what you have. Eventually, someone else's husband gets it."

“Hi, I'm your wife, and if you want me to stay your wife, you'll learn about dishwashers.”

"I need 20 minutes where no one comes near me."

Some sneak peeks of early character designs for Q-Trip, sketched and animated by the incredible Rory Free (insta freestyle_dowman)! We're be blending live-action and animation in this energetic short film which explores the opportunities and consequences of seemingly trivial choices. Coming soon!

Rage watching "American Nightmare" on Netflix.

They don't have to write much fiction about women not being believed, because we have an endless stream of documentaries about the true stories.

Just played Smash Up with my partner and a couple of friends, and her Penguin Grannies absolutely ran away with the game. Use grannies to scry minions to the top, then use penguins to play them off the top. I was trying my hardest to combo off with Wraithrustler Kaiju and just couldn't get set up.

@XauriEL I like all these words. Will definitely check it out!
