Remember when there were just 3 Star Wars films, and everyone agreed there was an excellent one and two good ones? It was a golden age.

If I could write a computer virus I’d make it so it looked like the high end smartphones it infected had a big scratch on the screen.
🖖🏼 After watching episode 2 of Picard, I’m thinking Jean-Luc needs to get a wiggle on if he’s going to assemble a crew and go on an adventure before the end of episode 10.
Over the past few days Netflix has sent me an email, everyday, saying “Don’t forget to finish watching The Good Place”. I have finished watching the… oh my god this is The Bad Place.
What they say: “Urgh, that’s a terrible French accent.”
What they mean, knowingly or not: “I would rather no one speak French rather than people speak French with a sub-excellent accent.”
🏏 The final India v New Zealand T20 is on tonight. But I reckon I’ll tune in at 23:00 to watch the super over.

I just watched the final of The Good Place, and it was… perfect.
How dairy alternatives stack up. I personally drink soy milk, which turns out to be one if the best. M’lady drinks almond milk, although it’s Australian almond milk, so may not be quite as bad for the environment as US almonds.
Sometimes I skip between reading a headline and then the short description of the article below it. I just Read: Greta Thunberg to send warships to support Greece.

Augmented and virtual reality could destroy the travel industry. Unfortunately it’s a decade or more away. And also unfortunately, virtually hugging loved ones in far off lands is still the stuff of science-fiction.
After decades, the wild things from Where the Wild Things Are still freak me out.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away. If a doctor eats an apple, they explode into a paradoxical plasma.
You know you’re old if it feels like 2003 was just a few years ago, and 2035 is an incomprehensible far future.
One thing that always confused me about the uniforms in Star Trek TNG is that Picard’s never seems to fit. He’s always pulling it down, like he’s wearing a t-shirt that’s too short.
That was an interesting episode of Doctor Who (Season 12 Episode 9).
With the (justified) panic regarding Coronavirus, remember that “[those face masks are absolute rubbish and they do nothing(https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/408255/wuhan-coronavirus-face-masks-do-nothing-virologist).”
🖖🏼 J’aime écouter Jean-Luc parler français. That was… interesting. Seems a lot’s happened in the Federation over the last 18 years. I’m looking forward to the next episode. The final scene was… whaaa?
🖖🏼 It’s dark, I’ve got my headphones on, there’s no cricket on, and so I can finally watch episode 1 of Star Trek Picard.
Small possibility we may be visiting BC and Seattle this year.
