Have I mentioned how much I like the Netflix Geek Girl adaptation?

I think I must have.

It’s fab. Two episodes to go. I hope it has enough viewers to trigger a second season. 😊

Also, read the books. They are brilliant. If you think you are not in the target demographic, just ignore that. They are brill stories and have characters from teens to pensioners. I reread all six last year. Bloody marvellous 😊

@saarmuller It has the lyrics to the songs of the soundtrack in the English captions as well. Bracketed with 🎶 to indicate music.

So yes, it has captions.

@saarmuller Do you like Geek Girl?

This past weekend I learned - the hard way - that if you don’t keep your Apple Pencil charged, it suffers what’s called “deep discharge” and essentially dies. You can’t charge it, and it’s bricked.

Supposedly you can bring them back to life sometimes by warming them slightly (like on a heating pad) but that didn’t work for me.

@dsilverman I like your thinking 😊

These attacks should be treated as terrorism and investigated as such, and if the filth are too busy doing fuck all, use MI5. And jail those guilty for several decades. #NHS

@Schnuckster They are. Plus, the perpetrators are usually overseas. Mostly in countries we don't have friendly relations with. Sadly.

@Schnuckster They do ☺️

But not for Ransomware.

I've been thinking of starting a new #GhostIO newsletter as a guide to encourage more women, PoC, creatives, activists, social entrepreneurs, etc. to join #Mastodon. You know, my people from the other place.

Problem is: I can't come up with a clever name for it. Out of desperation I've turned to:

Still, no ideas.

Not elephant-related, but I own the URL + social handles of "a sea change". I like the concept of a big transformation. Thoughts?

@_elena I asked Claude 3. It suggested:

  1. Tidal Shift
  2. Changing Tides
  3. Mastodon Migration
  4. Sea Change Social
  5. New Shores
  6. Wave of Change
  7. Oceanic Odyssey
  8. Beyond the Birdcage
  9. Sailing to Mastodon
  10. Fediverse Frontier
  11. Mastodonic Shift
  12. Decentralized Depths
  13. Federated Flotilla
  14. Elephant's Voyage
  15. Trunk to Tusk

Number 4 is good.

@_elena It wasn’t me. It was Claude 3. The best LLM IMHO!

The prompt I used was “What would be a good social media and newsletter name based on the concept of “a sea change”. The aim is to encourage people using Twitter/X to switch to Mastodon.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​“

Jebus. The USA chased down 194 and got it with 2.2 overs to spare. 😳

@LoneLocust It was ace!

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@LoneLocust Both scored 190+, and the bowling looked okay. I only watched the highlights, so it'll be biased towards batting, but the Canadians bowled to straight for me. But it may have been bowling to their field and influenced by short boundaries. Six over extra cover is a standard shot now. It wasn't when I played!

@LoneLocust It could be the ball. Some swing and some don’t. It’s weird.

Fellow Americans, if you go to a Cricket match at a stadium and come in possession of the ball during the match, you are required to throw the ball back on to the field. And quickly.

You don't get to keep the ball. It ain't baseball.

@LoneLocust @smurthys What happened after the first LBW?

ianRobinson,
@ianRobinson@mastodon.social avatar

@LoneLocust @smurthys Fair enough. I’d have said the keeper is just another fielder, but a specialist one.

Orange displeasure.

I looked up who would hear the appeal of DJT's recent criminal conviction and it turns out that life does have a sense of humor.

The Appellate Division, First Judicial Department - The Hon. Dianne T. Renwick, Presiding Justice

@mmiasma @OrionKidder @fmhilton @Professor_Stevens The latest episode of The Legsl Breakdown with Glenn Kirschner and Brian Tyler Cohen discusses this topic. https://youtu.be/RfMgcR0XJhg

@fmhilton @mmiasma @OrionKidder @Professor_Stevens Worth a subscription to that channel.

It’s fab hearing people from Toronto say the city name. They say Toroono. 😊

@drmikepj That’s probably closer 😊
