Love a good overlapping episodes film. Really well done here. It's scary, evil, creepy, suspenseful and manages to keep you hooked and waiting for more the entire time. I'm not quite sure yet how I liked some of the humorous and excessively gory parts; I'm not sure, if a more toned down approach would have served the atmosphere a little better. But overall, two hours very well spent!
👍 Recommended!

Lying here somewhat stunned by Ian McEwan’s What We Can Know. Such a perfect novel, so finely constructed, and in the end so deeply satisfying. A glorious read.

One reason I love RSS is that the cost of keeping a feed in a reader is essentially zero. So when someone pops up after a gap of -- checks notes -- 5 years, 10 months, 8 days I know about it and can respond appropriately.
Happy Blog Birthday, Rebsie, and welcome back.

True for crochet too
Someone linked to Bob Nystrom’s post about knitting, and it really struck a chord for me. My own experience, having started to crochet a little more than a year ago, exactly mirrors his, with one crucial difference. I decided to make something for someone who was dear to me...

Pens, sleeves, and whiteboards
When I was in high school, I used to keep a pencil or pen up my sleeve. I don’t remember anyone else doing it, or why I started. But if I had a pen up my sleeve, I would at least know I had one nearby for when I’d need one. (I may be mis-remembering whether having a pen up my...

Dopplr colours
Last year I was introduced to the idea of “Dopplr colours” in the IndieWeb community. This refers to an accent colour assigned to cities on the now-defunct travel website Dopplr. You can see examples by clicking through different Dopplr city pages in the Internet Archive and ...
Wondered why our latest podcast episode didn’t show up on https://workingdraft.de this morning. In our headless WP we preschedule releases and @11ty builds the front facing site daily. Turns out an AI bot broke the build: our log-parsing stats step choked on its UA string:

Some people will tell you the food system is broken. Not so, say Jan Dutkiewicz and Gabriel Rosenberg. Their new book is subtitled Why Industrial Food Is Good and How To Make It Even Better.
We had a long and interesting chat, everything from cellular agriculture to labour in the food industry.
