This year I found some Christmas wrapping paper that has a black Santa's on it and this makes me Disproportionly Happy.

And I'm someone who abandoned wrapping paper for reusable gift bags ~years ago~ 🙃

Amazon MGM Studios has greenlit a new Stargate series for Prime Video, with Martin Gero as writer and showrunner.

Do you have a Lenovo m11 tablet (with pen) and how are you finding it ?

Am particularly interested in anyone who uses it to read / make notes on documents and also draw on it.

Thank You

On BBC Radio 6 and old school jazz pianist just said the sweetest thing (paraphrasing):

"The Thing I love about Jazz is that unlike every other form of music there are no mistakes. Every time you think you've hit a Mistake it's just an Opportunity to play the music the way the Universe wants you to play"

Yet another example of a 'Smart device' company deciding that - No. You Don't actually Own The Thing.

"Smart home device maker Futurehome is forcing its customers’ hands by suddenly requiring a subscription for basic functionality of its products.

“You lose access to controlling devices, configuring; automations, modes, shortcuts, and energy services,” a company FAQ page says." - ArsTechnica

Packing an EDC for A woman ! or
EDC Gifts a woman will actually use !
Can I convince my wife to use EDC ?!

And bro..

Bro..

[It's almost ~always~ a Guy]

Have you ever actually ~spoken~ to any woman.. like ever ?

EDC is a Friggin handbag and/ or purse !

Women INVENTED the concept of EDC !!!

GAH !

So a bunch of people are mad that the current two lead actors in Doctor Who are both Brown people?

Good.

[There are plenty of valid reasons to criticise Russell T Davies Who runs, but the cast ain't one of em.]

Hey you Crafty / Art person !

Go do the Thing.

Yeah, I know there are a million reasons *not to* BUT just go start the Thing.

Even if you fail, (you probably won't) even if it sucks, (it probably won't) starting will make you feel better.

You can't finish if you never start.

Also?

Pass this message on !

Oooooooh we could've had an Okoye, the Wakandan Warrior Live action series but nooo!

Instead Disney is busy cancelling the Tiana animated series and memory-holing any mention of LGBTQIA+ people in any and all kids media...

Trek People !

Is there a confirmed air date (or even date range) for Star Trek Strange New World Season 3 yet please?

Am in dire need of some hopeful fictional diversions..

Scrubbing through the X-Men movies, and aside from the first film the writers really gave Storm fuck-all to actually *Do*.

She's not even *in* X-Men First class !

Various Animated Series didn't do much better, with her either being basically an Assistant to Professor X or Female Friend for Jean Grey.

No fault to the actresses portraying the character as character was desperately underutilised & underdeveloped.

So disappointing & frustrating.

WOTC and D&D really do seem like they absolutely want most people to be interested in the new 2024 edition ofthe D&D ruleset...

Thank you.
