Enjoyed Sunset Boulevard at the Light House this afternoon; I didn’t realise quite how meta it is but wow, it’s something #aside
###
Wanted to pick up some lebkuchen hearts at the Moore St @lidl_ireland but the queue was… well I’ve never seen a queue that long #aside
###
Ugh, what a thread. And in many cases it's not even the tech or data itself, but its application. What's an ethics? https://t.co/WgpA9OTR64 #aside

Um, isn't this social cleansing? https://t.co/RygXX9HZm3 #aside

I’ve never felt happier to breathe as I do right now #aside

Bailing on Black Mirror for now and getting back to the JR autobiography #aside

Black Mirror s04e02: I get the desire to explore new angles on themes already covered, but when that means rebooting your own show? Ehh #aside
###
The contrast between the American and European concepts in the original contest is striking, to say the least. #link
###
Insanely geeky best-of-the-web stuff, here. And as an aside, proof positive that you can’t automate everything and need humans for discrete knowledge. [c/o Pinboard/fakeisthenewreal] #link

A few quibbles with this piece: I think Shenzhen, Harbin and Qingdao are as familiar place names as Shanghai and Beijing in the west these days. But I’ve thought about the general notion a lot this year: cities around the world, cities with millions of people, that I’ve never heard of before. You don’t need to think about the cosmos to make yourself feel small. #link

Ten minutes into the new Black Mirror and… it’s not exactly deep, is it? #aside
###
When I’m feeling better, I’ve got a ‘2017 faves’ music round-up to finish. And I’ll share my fave movies when my brain works properly #aside

Except the Book of Kells hasn’t been kept in the Long Room for years; it’s in the adjacent modern museum exhibit https://t.co/Vdkj7OGUOs #aside

Still look like death but I finally ate a full plate of Xmas dinner. Only three days behind schedule #aside
###
Having such a crappy Xmas due to this head cold that I’m already planning Xmas 2 for next month #aside
###
This box of Sinutab has done diddly squat. If I didn’t have some Otrivine left over from months ago, I would’ve got no sleep last night #aside
###
I heartily recommend Barakamon: calligrapher moves to small island town, hijinks ensue https://t.co/BNLs0sc6tc #aside
###
All I can smell and taste is ‘stale’ so my Xmas dinner is postponed till tomorrow. Guess it’s dessert for dinner instead #aside
###
Merry Xmas everyone. Here's my annual message for the day that's in it: https://t.co/mBdSyPmaqn #aside

Right, I’m not getting any more sleep with this cold. Time to get up and get some movies watched #aside
###
Oh looky here, there’s a remaster of Shudder To Think’s Ten Spot LP out next month https://t.co/XJKqNBHCUh #aside
###
It’s not all bad, though: I just watched a blue tit trying to find a comfy spot on the tree to eat the sunflower seed in its gob #aside
###
Guess who woke up with a cold this morning? This guy #aside

I’ve started following Jushin Thunder Liger on here. I can’t read the kanji but he tweets a lot about breakfast and… https://t.co/f1x3SpFJG1 #aside

Bright is an interesting failure that isn’t nearly as bad as people are saying it is #aside

Traffic backed up for 10 minutes in Dundalk because one eejit in an SUV just had to park on double yellows smh #aside

This is also true https://t.co/vDjzoUAqL1 #aside

I thought we established months ago that EU countries can make their passports whatever colour they want? Burgundy’s just a convention, like #aside
###
Crap, was supposed to leave the house to catch a bus 5 minutes ago. Now I have to wait another 2 hours for the next one #aside

This classic needs another rewatch, stat. [c/o LinkMachineGo] #link

Had this issue for a couple of weeks over the summer; interesting to know the probable culprit. #link

On the road to my last press screening of 2017. And it’s a film on which shooting only wrapped four weeks ago #aside

Finished watching Clash of Champions after falling asleep last night during the dull main event. Show was fine over… https://t.co/WZeRVznjxt #aside

That new Luas extension is very handy altogether #aside

I want those Shinsuke Nakamura socks #aside
###
Finally watched Your Name, after a year of waiting. My, what a film #aside
###
That Irish Sun story about walking being faster than the Luas is a lie. You’re telling me that guy walked 1.4km in under 8 minutes? #aside

Fantastic advice for writers, especially the parts about considering the reader (and the editor, who is also a reader, not just a butcher — and I mean butcher in the best craftsperson sense). #link

Experienced some serious Baadher Meinhof with this dish, or the title of it anyway, in 2017. So I’ll have to try making it, won’t I? #link

Here’s a thing about film/any criticism: it’s an opinion. Hopefully a reasoned and well argued one, but opinion nonetheless #aside
