Fun fact! I once wrote an "obituary" for the floppy disk.

@Alrightpunk I guarantee, Just like with Jodie getting blamed for dropping viewership Ncuti is going to have this blamed on him by certain "fans". Not RTD's random bullshit go writing and story beats, the Disney soft reboot, the bloody space babies, no it was the minorities fault of course.

@LisaForteUK Don't make any drastic changes like throwing things away because their presence causes pain, in time the strange alchemy of grief may transmute them into things that now bring a joyful reminder. (lost a partner of over a decade).

@Alrightpunk Its big dumb fun, I think its more accessible than the comic its based on but towards the later seasons it seems to become everything it is supposed to be a satire of.

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk Its clearly performative nonsense, you know what I don't do when I see something I consider an actual danger? I don't give it a deadline 6 months in the future! If they actually thought anyone was at risk (which they are not) the ban would be immediate.

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk You might very well think that; I couldn't possibly comment

@Alrightpunk House of leaves (Danielewski) , The Empire Trilogy (Feist /Wurts), Perdido Street Station (Miéville)

@yppip Congrats! Many of our students are looking at bug bounty hunting as a career/hobby so if you ever want to come back and give a talk to them on how you started it that would be awesome!

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk Beautifully shot, some interesting twists, very much a slow burn so it all comes down to if it sticks the landing (haven't watched the finale yet.)

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@TaliesinEvitel There's still a Bard chilling out in the rogue class hall.

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk I wonder if this is one of those things that come down to age group. Buffy was clearly impactful in the 12-21 age range at the time, X-files seemed to impact above that.

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk There is a huge crossover between various diagnosis in neurodivergence, ASC etc. ADHD for example; of the normally used 9 diagnostic criteria the average member of the public will have a random mix of 3-4 of them, 6+ are needed to meet the criteria for ADHD.

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk I got my diagnosis about 9 years ago on the rather marvellously named "DIVA Scale"

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk Battlestar Galactica and the Rebuild of Evangelion movies (though if they count as reboots is debateable)

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@UK_Daniel_Card @SeanWrightSec @YorkshireTea delta two alpha? are you mad! Do you want a repeat of the [redacted] incident!

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk Happy annual celebration day and welcome to the 40's

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk For the L of it.

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk Once, mid-lecture, just before I was due to say it I forgot every term that could be used to describe a baby bird, chick? gone; hatchling? don't know her; baby bird? flown away; in the moment all I could come up with was "birdling"

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk None that I know of, but I've always thought someone should do the story of Lily Parr and the Dick Kerr Ladies

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@Alrightpunk Wait till your feeling up for it, its one to watch for small details!

[Terry Richards @kreedle]

@UK_Daniel_Card Fireworks!
