In order to play the Apple Music Top 100, you have to go to the website (https://100best.music.apple.com), click ‘Listen on Apple Music’ and then it opens Apple Music, which just says "Something went wrong. Please try again later.” (even after a restart) so then you search for the album, switch from 'Your Library' to 'Apple Music' and then you can finally play it. Good times!

Polarised sunglasses

AKA, IRL Ad Blockers

Video of the interior of a train station. On the far wall is an LCD advertisement screen showing an ad for Tropicana. I then place my sunglasses in front of the camera lens and the ad screen appears black due to the polarised filter.

I've decided to work my way through the Apple Music top 100 albums. Some I know, some I don’t, some I hate but will revisit. Will be interesting! I like that it was emphasised that this isn’t algorithms, and was decided by humans.

I thought I’d never see the Northern Lights. I certainly never thought I’d see them from my garden in #Hertfordshire!

#NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis

Long exposure image of the Aurora Borealis. A gradient of red through to green covers the sky. Silhouette of tree in the foreground.

For those that knew, why didn’t you tell anyone else‽

And for those that don’t;

You can place the (MacOS at least) terminal cursor anywhere along your command line by simple alt-clicking where you want it. Works in vim and nano too.

Years of hammering the cursor keys until my finger bled to get to the line/character I want to change are behind me now.

You okay hun? You’ve barely touched your Sunday Racist.

A close up of the board from the first picture showing the word “Roast” that reads more like “Racist”.

Sainsburys HO HO HOT ONE

Apple, cabbage and cranberry slaw, smoked shredded chicken breast, mayonnaise with chilli peppers and firecracker sauce on kalonji seed bread

Wasn't sure whether the bother with this one. It clearly isn’t in any way festive, but it is branded as such, and it's in the “Taste the difference' range. Tiny bits of chicken, a lot of mayo and I couldn’t taste the cranberry.

Kalonji seeds have a stronger flavour than expected too.

2/5

Been using #Arc Browser for a while now and really like it, but given the direction of Chromium/Chrome (Manifest V3) I'm gonna become a #Firefox user I think.

I present to you: my brain.

Actually getting the data for an MRI is fairly cool! (it was a perk of being a test subject for fatigue and MS)

My car insurance quote is 33% higher than last year. I have had no accidents or claims, not moved house, nothing. Everything is the same.

It's just 33% higher.

That's madness.

Ah. My avatar (here and on BirdShite) is 9 years old. I was 36 and now I'm <does maths> older. And a little more… "set".

Do I update to the pessimistic looking avatar that I have on github https://github.com/remy or just leave the ridiculous sarcastic happy thumbs up forever more?

Stepped outside, and there has been an unbroken peeling of thunder for ten minutes. Like a continuous single rumble.
