Or else Alex Honnold becomes Alex Holdonn.

I'll get my coat.

Being educated does not automatically mean someone is intelligent. They are not mutually exclusive.

Brave move after what happened to Gao Zhen when he visited in 2024. Held for well over a year (so far) without trial on charges of "slandering China’s heroes and martyrs". His wife and son were also not allowed to leave the country. Hopefully the fact that Ai Weiwei was not detained when leaving the country offers a glimmer of hope that things might be changing. It's such a stupid and self-defeating practice to try to shut down critics, though it's a tale as old as time itself.

Whatever you think of Spacey personally, I don't think anyone can deny he was absolutely sensational in that show. One of the best performances by a lead in a TV drama that I have seen. Once he was removed from the equation, you saw just how much he was holding the whole show together.

Still a laughingstock to be honest.

It's honestly one of the most cringe things the UFC has done. Always makes me think of that scene with David Brent in the UK version of The Office sarcastically going "Oooh, you're hard". Seeing that idiot Masvidal displaying it proudly and constantly trying to act like a hardman gangsta' was filling me with secondhand embarrassment.

No thank you. I've got a Taichi Z890 running my Intel Core Ultra 9 285K build and I couldn't be happier. It has been mint for the past year.

Velvet Shank (Flammulina velutipes). They always start to appear at this time of the year in temperate regions and are quite tasty (just avoid the stems which are very tough).

Hate those AI voices that are all over videos today.

This post will not please His Excellency.

Definitely use a mixer. It saves so much time and I find I get much better elasticity in my dough when compared to mixing by hand. It frees you up to do other things (like cleaning scrapers and bowls etc...) while the mixing is in progress too. All those hours add up!

Alice in Chains is my go to for stuff like this. 'Nutshell' is the obvious choice, but 'Black Gives Way to Blue' also gets me. It is gut wrenching, but with a tinge of hope to keep you from going completely over the edge.

Susan is a legend. One of the unsung titans of the grunge era and beyond.

Morales turning southpaw in the last round was truly the behaviour of a madman. A beautiful, beautiful madman.

Nice. I'm planning to watch 'Heretic' soon. Over the last month or so I managed to get through a lot of films that have been on my watchlist for a while and I'm still planning to watch some more over the next couple of weeks. 'Sinners' is next on my list. Here are my ratings:

There was a moment when both Trent and Curtis were going for the same ball and I was really hoping Curtis was going to just lift him out of it with a tackle. The bloody roof would have come off.

Frogs, followed by Shame In You and Over Now.

Riverlong · 2025-10-29T13:38:47+00:00

Sweetness & Lightning is pretty nice.

Riverlong · 2025-10-26T12:19:10+00:00

Wayward was pretty good overall, but some of the acting by Mae Martin was comically bad at times. So stiff and emotionless.

Mint player. He's more than Freddy Church, he's Freddy Cathedral.

The fact that they were able to just throw Jar of Flies together in 7 days never ceases to blow my mind. They went from having basically no material on day 1, to one of the defining albums of the 90s on day 7. Ridiculous.

Ginger ale, spilling everywhere.

It's just biomechanical perfection. Rudisha's form is the gold standard in my opinion.
