In this one respect, I would much rather be in Dundee than Rome, where Critical Mass seems to have slunk off into a corner to die.
Crocheted ‘Fungi Hunts’ is absolutely bonkers, and I love it.

I was thrilled (and somewhat mystified) when Hyde asked me to participate in his excellent Over/Under series. My effort — Over/Under #82 — went up yesterday, and I’m excited to add something I discovered the day after sending in my feeble response to Harry’s question about A-Team vs Knight Rider.
Mr T is alive and well and is apparently the subject of a new documentary. There’s loads more information in that Guardian interview, and it is a great read full of stuff about which I had no idea. That’s hardly surprising. I didn’t even know Mr T was Mr T’s name, rather than the name of his character in A-Team. I now also know why he chose it.
Go, read.
Highly unscientific survey, but while sitting at the bus stop today I counted 20 cars and 25% had a single occupant.
The eighteenth episode of Wonders of Web Weaving is out:
In Episode 18, I chat with Ava, the author of blog.avas.space about, among other things, data protection and privacy, consent in the context of privacy, the armchair of great blogging, and more.
I hope you enjoy the episode!
Wonders of Web Weaving also has an RSS feed you can use to follow along from wherever you get your podcasts.
That’s not a movie for me. I really did not care about anything or anyone in this. The story is boring and it’s all pretty pointless. While some images are great, the dream-like sequences border on ugly. Then it has some short funny scenes weirdly inserted. The end At the Gates of Hel is just disappointing. I’m sorry.
