COP26 made me late for everything the past fortnight, even when I gave myself increasingly extra time to get anywhere. People in Glasgow trying to pretend it's exciting, as if you were going to wander into the pub and find Joe Biden sitting there having a chat about carbon emissions.

hmmAlso, some of the maps and diagrams are barely recognisable, showing the most fragmentary knowledge of the UK and RoI. Not sure why news providers don’t have better cartographical capabilities.

The Times had an article yesterday on NI and Brexit and how it is affecting M&S deliveries: practically implying lack of access to M&S products is a new measure of humanitarian crisis. I'm beginning to care again- but more about how this issue is being played out in the media.

The Matrix. I know this franchise means a lot to a lot of people, so please know that I mean no harm. I saw the first film on opening night, was bored stiff, and have never looked back.

(I'm not sure if I'm afraid of Apple or my phone. The part that is definitely the phone is how it has become an extension of oneself. I am also afraid of how Facebook seems to have invented or marketed all of the programming languages that developers want to learn and use. I think it has been a decade since I stopped buyig from Amazon, but I still need to use AWS at work and probably indirectly at home.)

whether die hard is a christmas movie or not. every year with this.
fits along with "how do you pronounce gif" and "should the toilet paper roll go over or under" where people online act like it's a big debate but only those on one side of the debate (yes/hard g/over) care to talk about it at all. and they will yell about it like their life depends on it.
― ✖, Saturday, 25 December 2021 09:17 (two years ago) link
Yeah I have Die Hard muted on Twitter for this reason. It’s hard to believe anyone actually cares; it’s just an artefact of social media loneliness I think.
