Jesus ,the storm intensity is picking up big time right now. #Glasgow

@HunterZ @joeo10 I believe the only reason the target planet was Jupiter in 2001 is because Trumbull couldn't get the rings of Saturn right which he'd perfected by the time of Silent Running.

@joeo10 @HunterZ Yes. Love a lot if the films he worked on. Even Brainstorm.

@KydiaMusic Glad you finally saw it. A very different pace compared to modern films. I was 6 when I first saw it (Mum saw the U certificate & thought it was a nice family field movie about space). Amazing for the time made.

@Gargron Thanks and empathy. On a human level i'm sure it's been a lot to juggle. Much respect.

@Gargron I'm was all for open social media but do feel that the Threads federation experiment is now clearly over.

@dansup That one and the 2073 trailer for a more global direction of travel. Merry Dystopia.

@dansup if only social media enhanced tolerance, curiosity & cooperation rather than shouting down others. Look after yourself. It's not easy out here.

@dansup Ha.As an old fart the whole thing puzzles the hell out of me.

@tk I was on that. I admit it was way harder to find people to follow but I just about managed a small circle of contacts

Really fancy a coconut ice. You know those pink and white sugar coconut block bar things. #sweets

@Eidon yep. Same for me (UK)

@Eidon Server down or maintenance I guess.

@fediversereport Everything I read about Bluesky's federation seems to be more about load balancing than the way the Fediverse does it (lots of independent instances, each with different names that happen to speak to each other if they want to or aren't blocked). So centralised (control) and distributed (for performance) for BSky? Maybe I'm reading it wrong.

@fediversereport A good write up there. Zuck makes for an intetesting interview by not sounding too unreasonable (unlike the head of some other corporate social media companies) but then that's his skill in terms of sounding more reasonable than his actions may end up being. We can only see.

Oxfam music shop has cassettes. These Yello ones are only 99p each. There's a Scott Walker cassette for £4.99. Some artists are premium. There's a Paul McCartney music VHS in here. #Chazza #charityShop #Music #Glasgow #WestEnd #cassettes

In a quandary because I now seem to be on the most hated #instance in the #fediverse. Too big, too centralised, too spammy.
Like joining the wrong queue in the supermarket.
Why is life just a series of bad decisions? #life
