Great thread here on the usefulness of drones in research https://t.co/iEdhP4AF9A #aside

Sisters are doing it for themselves, indeed. More…

My favourite thing on Twitter for ages. This cat better not be a Milkshake Duck https://t.co/6gYgP6xvho #aside
###
Distracting self-conscious references aside — the themes are blunt enough without the family also being named Milgram — there’s a messed-up body horror edge that nudges this above average for a low-budget chiller. More…
###
The rare ‘sequel/soft reboot that’s really a greatest hits compilation’ that manages to pull it off without succumbing to post-modern ironic detachment, though that’s arguably unavoidable in an age where even Scream would be considered a vintage movie (it was made almost a quarter of a century ago, after all). More…

Homeland s07 (I’m catching up on Netflix) has been, well, let’s just say white privilege has a lot to answer for. But the end of e09 is frankly terrifying. Best horror I’ve seen in months #aside
###
Tye, Hideo and TJP gone. Not even future endeavoured. What a waste. And how petty is WWE? #aside
###
My favourite Sleater-Kinney album turns 20. I remember seeing them play on Jo Whiley’s then Channel 4 show and knowing I needed this https://t.co/TuwdcOeYCA #aside
###
All the segregated cycle lanes in the world won’t matter unless cyclists in Ireland get priority at junctions like they do in countries where cycling works https://t.co/bDEa2MZKQW #aside
###
Awful big coincidence, Netflix very predictably cancelling its Marvel shows as Disney preps the launch of its own streaming service #aside
###
There are actual important stories to cover rather than giving over half of your front page to smearing Ellie Kisyombe #aside
###
Just found out my favourite wrestler will be in Dublin on St Patrick’s weekend so I have to be there too, don’t I? http://bit.ly/2X5njuZ #aside
###
I want to hear Guerilla Toss cover King Crimson’s ‘Thela Hun Ginjeet’ #aside
###
Sometimes all you need in your life is some baby capybaras. [c/o TKSST] #video

Here’s some depressing but necessary reading for your Saturday morning https://t.co/tGR8JaLr0s #aside
###
Next year’s Royal Rumble at the Houston Astros stadium gets one step closer to my daydream of a Rumble at Tropicana Field #aside
###
Beware the dodderman, my dear, when the moon is fat #aside
###
I could be from anywhere within a massive red blotch from Cavan to Wexford, which feels like the research on Hiberno-English could be more specific. #link
###
That’s all of The Expanse s03 watched, now I need s04 #aside
###
The NYT really burying the lede here (content warning for alleged child abuse, basically) https://t.co/cxeJ8gdMws #aside
###
Just watched him the other night, getting booed mercilessly by the Rosemont Horizon crowd at WrestleMania 2 https://t.co/Tma9qCVw3Z #aside
###
The Oscars are like WrestleMania: each the biggest live event of the year in their respective areas, but no longer really about their essence as much as mere ‘celebrity’ #aside
###
The filmmaker in question is Stephen Fingleton, who wrote/directed The Survivalist https://t.co/57PaUp9DIK #aside
###
Tickets to see the Meat Puppets in June secured, though the friction involved has given me a burn #aside
###
In case you didn’t already figure it out, Corey Graves is white https://t.co/bfrOMKtWUD #aside
###
Spent the afternoon stretching my copywriting muscles and now my brain is properly exhausted #aside
###
I felt the same way about The Square: satirising the art world is shooting fish in a barrel. But that’s pretty much all The Square was about. Velvet Buzzsaw has a different problem, in that it can’t make up its mind whether it wants over-the-top mania like a souped-up psychotronic slasher, or genuine horror tension like writer/director Dan Gilroy’s incredible previous, Nightcrawler. Either mode renders the other ineffective. More…
###
Here’s a lot of writing, etc I did today! https://t.co/X7XlTbUWEZ #aside
###
Ah, this is what happens when I leave getting tickets till closer to the date https://t.co/t4IFboxV49 #aside
###
‘Racially charged’ is a euphemism often used to distance the actor from the action https://t.co/fdENc0lTyj #aside
###
Matt Riddle is a great example of how to integrate MMA style while keeping it pro wrestling. Shayna Baszler is getting it, too #aside
###
Sooo NXT signed a jacked Joey Ryan who’s into prog metal #aside
###
Found a dead blackbird in the driveway. No obvious signs of predation; probably electrocuted on the power lines above #aside
###
Whatever one can say about the politics of Sky News’ output, this is an invaluable look into the production process of TV news. (No idea if this video will last beyond the end of the live stream at five this evening.) #link
###
Ironic that I feel the need to be clearer about this myself: he wasn’t misquoted, he could have said something unequivocal like ‘I was a horrible racist but I’m ashamed of that now.’ He didn’t https://t.co/0x745kNsUX #aside
###
Liam Neeson says he’s ashamed. But it’s not quite clear from those quotes what part he’s ashamed of. There’s the rub #aside
###
Steam says I’ve spent 17 hours in SimCity 4 over the last few days. At least I’ve got a city of 75,000 and a million simoleons in the bank to show for it #aside
###
Halftime Heat was fun, wasn’t it? #aside
###
American football, the sport where 15 minutes actually takes 45 #aside
###
Just made myself half blind playing SimCity 4 for the last three hours. How’s your Sunday? #aside
###
Whether or not you’re doing #MWE or #metalmindfulness this month, it’s cool to find an album new or old to take in fully. Sit down, wig out, any way enjoy the moment #aside
###
Good morning on the first day of spring in the Irish calendar! Shame it’s also the first of February, aka Freelancer’s Bane #aside
