As is tradition, I will now submit my first post on the 2nd June. Pretty sure that’s happened for the past few years, so why mess with tradition, eh?

Any, tap or click on this and you’ll hear me discussing bacon sandwiches.

Currently listening to something where they've noted that there's no coherent timeline in the Mad Max movies, that each one essentially stands on its own as just another story where Max is the central character.

Which has got me wondering; are there other movie series where this is the case?

I guess there are Batman movies that don't share canon with others, but generally they exist in series with other instalments.

I mean, if ever I needed more persuading that my #Netflix sub can go away, this is it. (We still have two pre-4K Apple TVs. One is used on my tiny office TV. It works perfectly well with every other service, and so Netflix can go do one.)

Edit: to clarify, HD onwards will work with Netflix. Pre-HD (and pre-tvOS) will not. It’ll be interesting to see how rapidly everyone else does the same. (IIRC, Prime still worked on those old boxes.)

@craiggrannell Can’t the 2G and 3G ATVs be jail broken to run Plex? I’ve lost track of which one is which, but I still have a couple of them knocking about.

@mcelhearn The older ones didn’t have an app store, just whichever apps came bundled in the OS.

Tonight at 8pm BST, !

The theme this week is 'punctuation', and I've now come to realise just how many songs have an exclamation mark in them.

With the news that fucking Farage has decided to continue spreading faeces all over British politics, I once again give thanks to mute filters.

I also give thanks to the plane that valiantly gave its life in a doomed attempt to make the world a better place.

@Bez_Lightyear A real sliding doors moment, init. A few knots faster and Brexit may not have happened.

Apropos of nothing, I’ve just remembered this photo from many years ago, of three women dressed as Daleks.

The nice thing about is that it's not the end of the world if you forget to post something one day, because there are so many other posts to enjoy.

Something else I like about is how it’s put me in contact with a whole bunch of blind people, which in turn has helped me to appreciate the power of alt-text.

I'm swamped and stressed, so why not take questions

Just don’t ask me what I'm working on right now

@tvaziri This was a chat I had with my kid when he was 14 and asking whether he could watch something that was 18 rated.

I don’t remember what that movie was, but I think I was ok with it because of the context, but as I pointed out to him, something like Trainspotting was a HARD 18 partly because the subject matter is a million miles away from a regular 14yo’s understanding. A movie like Deadpool (which, to be fair was 15 over here) is a completely different beast.

Was in TK Maxx the other day, so obviously I made a beeline for the shoe section to see what monstrosities I could find.

Gopping footwear was sadly thin on the ground this time, but I did find these beauties. Perfect for when you know you’re going to do a runner from your court hearing.

There are piss-weak, milquetoast centrists being all “But throwing milkshakes at politicians is assault!”, and yeah, I guess it is, but I don’t fucking care.

As far as that toad-faced cunt is concerned you could throw a spear at him and I’d celebrate.

“So much for the tolerant left!”

I never claimed to be tolerant. I’d be perfectly happy with right wing fuckheads like him being punched in balls every thirty seconds for the rest of time.

While pondering rainbow songs, I’ve been reminded of this incredible performance by Dave from the 2020 Brit awards.

🎶 Black is people namin' your countries on what they trade most
Coast of Ivory, Gold Coast, and the Grain Coast
But most importantly to show how deep all this pain goes
West Africa, Benin, they called it slave coast 🎶

That bit hit me like a ton of bricks when I first heard it. Until he pointed it out, it had never occurred to me.

On next Monday’s edition of #ThePlaylist…

The Colours Of The Rainbow

It’s pride month, and what better way to celebrate than with a celebration of the pride flag. So we’re looking for songs that feature red, orange, yellow, green, indigo, violet, white, pink, blue, brown, and black.

@sodslawyer Could do a double whammy of that and the Public Service Broadcasting track of the same name.

Got real fuckin’ hungry while I was doing the shopping, so picked up a bar of chocolate (because fruit never satisfied my hunger).

Now home and just want to do Sleeps but have to put the shopping away and make dinner.

Pondering playing NOFX - 'Kill All The White Man'* as part of the rainbow show next week.
