Watched 28 Years Later last night. Never seen a movie go from a solid 7/10 to a 5/10 in the last minute of runtime before, kind of impressive how badly it fumbles the tone right at the end.
A great collection of open source tools for creatives.

Close-up render of an iPhone with the new ‘Liquid Glass’ UI design, focused on a menu bar showing a row of icon buttons as well as a music player. The content behind the UI is blurred by the glass effect, producing an overly busy effect

Photo of an iPhone Home Screen with the new ‘Liquid Glass’ icons on display. The icons are translucent white and very hard to read.

Photo of 4 Brewdog beer cans, from left to right: Punk IPA (blue and black), Hazy Jane (teal and white), Lost Lager (gold and white), Elvis Juice (orange and cream).
Brewdog's recently rebranded some of their beers, and they're claiming the new look is 'revolutionary'. Looks pretty bland to me, but then I'm not surprised that the massive company that pretends to be punk while treating its staff atrociously has trouble coming across as authentic.

You ever get into a proper flow state with a project, and all of a sudden it’s 2am and you’re tired and you’ve done more work in 4 hours than you’ve done in days?

Ah but what if they measure it wrong? Let’s get a third opinion, best two out of three.
Own your own content. You never know when platforms will get taken away, or taken over by weirdos.
More importantly: own your own knowledge.
Weekly tip:
Measure twice, cut once.

AI has always promised to help people spend more time doing valuable work by automating the manual, repetitive, toilsome tasks so that software developers can be free to use their time on "something better".
That's not what's happening.

Oh good, Scottish train passengers are being subjected to an AI generated announcer which was apparently trained on data that wasn’t meant for that purpose. Love to live in a cyberpunk dystopia www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Been doing some epub development recently, and the key takeaway so far is: assume any CSS or graphics even slightly interesting won’t be supported by one or more of the biggest vendors. Fun?
