Listening to the live-action Moana soundtrack and this whole project is just bizarre. No changes. Not to orchestration, not to ad-libs, quips, jokes, riffs, it is a recreation of the animated film from 10 years ago on a microcellular level. Why do this?

i thought SNL uk was actually pretty brilliant. exactly as awkward and wobbly as the first ever *live* episode should be, with huge amounts of heart and some very funny writing it’s fun to joyfully preempt the failure of big, expensive things, but i hope we let this one breathe a little ❤️

This is so good and reminds me of my colourful past as a competition winner. The holy grail was when I won a Playstation from The Times in about 1997. It came with the top 10 best-selling games and a year's subscription to UK Official Playstation Magazine. My life was changed.

i love the bluesky algorithm so much. the last two months half of my discover page is people posting about their sleep issues. recently it took a turn into fans of one specific type of hockey. very refreshing 👍

i live in the storm zone and my phone died before i went to bed, so i just found out that emergency alerts REPLAY AT FULL EMERGENCY VOLUME when your phone comes back to life. in an otherwise silent, pitch black bedroom at 2am. scariest shit in the world

if you really dedicate yourself to an instrument you can, over many years of rigorous practice, become so skilled that you can only produce music that is completely unlistenable

really love that every reply on bluesky is chatgpt, and they all either sound like Well if you think that cooking a delicious meal is worthwhile, try doing it three times a day for your family! #familylife or wow, looks like you’re a real online gamer! good luck with the hand-pain, super-nerd!
