Fair to say The Pope's Exorcist is a film that knows what it is and what it has to do. This is the money shot though.

How did I never clock this?

I get unnecessarily annoyed when characters on TV send text messages without actually pressing send. You see them type it in close up, then get the whoosh noise while they just put their phone away.

Kid's body: Oh wow, a new hair! Hair goes on top of the head! 😀

Teen's body: I rule at this! YOU get some hair, and YOU get some hair, and YOU get some hair! 😎

40yo's body: What? Oh. Uhhh... back of the earlobe? Fuck it, close enough... 😞

"That noise is what we called an 'alarm clock.' Back in the old days, it would make that noise every morning and force you to wake up, whether you were ready to or not."
"Eww! But, grandad, didn't that mean you were super tired?"
"Oh yes. That's why we used to immediately drink a big hot cup of drugs."

update: they managed it, I changed my password, and the hunt resumes

went to a very cool distillery and now I kinda want one of my own. (also, you could write a sick murder mystery set in a distillery.)

for the past few months, someone in Buffalo has been feverishly trying to log in to my Discord account -- for what purpose, I cannot possibly imagine. I can't think of anything more valueless to hack.

Why are Microsoft so addicted to dicking about with the Snipping Tool? It worked, it worked fine; it didn't need renaming, or moving, it certainly didn't need to be made hotkey only. Just leave it the hell alone for 5 minutes, why can't you?

Technically, Sandboxx news is my kind of content -- if only Alex Hollings could talk like a normal gd human being. Maybe italicising every other word is a Youtube algorithm thing, idk, but it just drives me spare.

It's a shame sorting through the internal storage on Android devices is such a damned nightmare though. I need to use one app to import files from my NAS, then another to relocate them to where the Lumia player can see them. Also, it doesn't like .avis. At least not all of them. More experimentation needed. (.mkv is fine though, and stuff d/l off Newpipe works great.)

My Nubia/Lume tablet arrived and the 2D -> 3D on-the-fly conversion is super impressive. I am looking forward to rewatching loads of tatty old films in glasses-free 3D digital crikeyvision.

getting increasingly frustrated with DDG's garbage search results these days. just find pages that contain the words in the box: all the words in the box, not some of them, not different ones, just the ones I typed. even using quotation marks doesn't guarantee relevant results. Startpage (which uses Google iirc?) and Ghostery Glow seem way better (but Ghostery loses marks for requiring you to click in the box after the search page loads, before you can start typing.)
