Emergency care (I drive ambulances and assist paramedics) and design-y, communication-y things. Very slow trail and coast path runner. And an enjoyer of music, TV, movies, and culture. All in lush North Cornwall.

PREDATOR was released 39 years ago today. Among the most popular science fiction/action movies of the 1980s, and one of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s biggest movies, the behind the scenes tale ain’t got time to bleed… 1/55

Because such a thing doesn't exist (I believe), I vibe coded a thing to filter my Mixcloud favourites by tag and words in the title. I'm delighted with how much easier it is to find things now, but also feel a mild sense of guilt and shame.

Watching these awesome music videos is a great way to procrastinate away an afternoon. And, if you're lucky like me, you get to skip through multiple YouTube ads for a Tai Chi programme for 50 year old men...

MTV is officially ending all of its music channels. In honor of that, what's your favorite music video?

Boy, that de-escalated quickly

Lab monkeys from Tulane University have escaped an overturned truck north of the town of Heidelberg, Mississippi. Despite initial claims by local law enforcement, the monkeys are not carrying COVID-19, herpes or hepatitis C. buff.ly/16gTRJa

Asking for a friend - amazing social CIC doing good things in nature. Looking for a South West (ideal) based fractional CTO who can also get their hands a bit dirty, and help a volunteer model of developing their platform They have a backend dev, and hiring a front end. Any ideas/connections?

It doesn’t matter whether the confession is urinating in the shower, or getting out of the shower to urinate: someone will reply with an unsolicited plumbing lesson.

If I am in the shower and I feel a sudden urge to pee, I will go out the shower and pee in the toilet. I used to think this was pretty normal, but after reading fesshole I am wondering if I am ridiculously uptight.

I’m not angry, just disappointed

Penniless and homeless, Raynor and Moth Winn found fame with their story of their 630-mile walk to salvation. The Salt Path became a global bestseller and was adapted into a major film. But we can reveal it wasn’t the whole truth. @chloehadj.bsky.social Read more:

AIRPLANE! was released 45 years ago today. Still one of the most beloved comedies ever made, and the film that turned Leslie Nielsen to comedy, the story of how it came to the screen surely can’t be serious… 1/31

'Universities will be lucky to avoid being “completely hit over the head” in the UK government’s upcoming spending review as ministers look set to prioritise plans for growth – which could eat into core research funding – and save higher education reform for a later date.' 1/3

@jamesbluecat.bsky.social slightly odd question but I don't suppose you know anyone here who knows enough Cornish to string a phrase together? Cornish online dictionaries give me the words but not the grammar.

For anyone else interested in geographical search for specific film screenings, @garrettc.social ’s advice here is winner (I would expect nothing less) /cc @dirtmeetsthewater.bsky.social

garrettc@garrettc.social

Letterboxd has a “showtimes + tickets” link on film pages which then has a geographical search. Not specific screenings, but cinemaguide.co.uk allows you to do a geographical search across multiple cinemas which might also get you close.

Hello. Does anyone know of a site/service to find screenings of specific films at cinemas ‘near’ me (given that nearby for me can mean quite some distance…) Thanks to anyone who can help 🙏

Yes please, do go right ahead and 'kill' the industry (whatever that industry Clegg's refering to is).

My plans for a major retail emporium are being threatend by wholesalers who won't let me steal the stock.
