This is wonderful.

Music of the week - 4th September
Morning Champions, and welcome to another week!...
I just buried the last of my pet rats. I love what pets bring us, but I hate the cost.
Three years ago my wife and I got three pet rats. A little over a year later, we added two more, and for a brief moment had a lovely little mischief of five happy boys....
Giving up the iPad-only travel dream ( sixcolors.com )
Good piece here from Jason Snell, and I have to say, I get exactly where he’s coming from....
M2 Macbook Air and gaming.
I got a 15" M2 a couple of months back and have been consistently impressed with just how capable this thing is. So with games like No Man’s Sky finally making their way to Mac, I figured I’d dip a toe in and see what it can do....
Any iPod users in here? ( imgur.com )
Thought I’d see if there were any likeminded individuals around....
Flogging Molly - Within A Mile Of Home ( www.youtube.com )
Had a hankering to listen to this yesterday, and have probably spun it a dozen times since then. It’s an utter, utter belter.
Downloaded macOS game apparently needs Steam, but won't run even though it's been added to Steam. Any ideas?
As per the title, I downloaded this game, have added it to my Gatekeeper exemption and disabled SIP and all that, and even though it’s added to Steam as a non-Steam game, all I get when it loads is a message saying “Steam not found, please start through Steam client”....
Good Omens: Season 2 is finally upon us, and it's wonderful. ( www.imdb.com )
I loved the first season because I’m a huge fan of Pratchett and Gaiman, so was a little nervous that the next series, with no source material to adapt wouldn’t hit the mark. But then I saw that Neil had asked John Finnemore to help him write it, and that sealed it for me. No one could replace Terry, but John Finnemore comes...
Ice Cube - It Was A Good Day ( www.youtube.com )
Any day when I don’t have to use my AK is a good day.
Music of the Week - 24th July, 2023
Morning Champions!...
Ride - Vapour Trail ( www.youtube.com )
Easing myself gently into a Monday morning at work by listening to this absolute belter.
You ever think about how borders and countries are just some extreme rich guy shit that we've all been trained to believe are real?
Like, the only reason countries exist is because some rich guys decided that they ruled this chunk of land, and everyone else just kinda said “Yeah, whatever, I don’t really give a shit, just let me farm and leave me the fuck alone”....
Billy Bragg - Never Buy The Sun ( www.youtube.com )
If you’re in the UK, this might strike a chord once again, but it’s always worth bearing in mind.
Kirsty MacColl - A New England (12" Version) ( www.youtube.com )
I’m absolutely obsessed with this today. It’s 8 minutes long, but I’ve listened to it a good 10 times already this morning....
[Friday vibes] - Refused - New Noise ( www.youtube.com )
In a state of mind where I never want to hear anything but music by Refused for the rest of my banging, shouty life.
65daysofstatic - Unmake The Wild Light ( www.youtube.com )
For me, this is one of those tracks that I can sink into like a big, soft bed, and get lost in its warm folds. Put it on in your best headphones, close your eyes, and let the lads from Sheffield take you on a journey.
An ADHD rant...
This morning I’m mostly grumpy about my ADHD....
Goblin Tools looks like a GREAT app for us Neurospicy folks. ( apps.apple.com )
My wife showed me a TikTok last night of a woman talking about this app, and how useful she finds it. I've just installed it on my Mac, and yeah, it looks like it could be pretty helpful....
RA RA RASPUTIN, LOVER OF THE RUSSIAN QUEEN ( www.youtube.com )
This is one of the best songs ever. Discuss.
Guns n' Roses - Live In Tokyo (1992) ( www.youtube.com )
As far as I'm concerned, this is GnR's imperial period.
Getting things done with ADHD
Howdy, fellow ADHDers. How the bloody hell do you get ANYTHING done at work?...
Basic noob question: How do you begin to learn how to build an iOS app for Lemmy?
I know there are a couple of apps already in development, but I kinda want to have a go to learn how to build an app in Swift. So what are some good resources to learn?
ADHD/autism/etc. and justice sensitivity
ADHD and autism are both strongly correlated with justice sensitivity. If you need an explanation for what that is, here's a quote from this article:...

What are the weird, low budget movies you've been enjoying lately?
Any Mac / OpenCore users out there?
Just wondering how many of us are a) Mac users, and b) users of Macs so old that they need OCLP in order to run the latest OS....
[CW - Transphobia] TERF Suffers Consequences of Her Bigoted Wish After Having to Share a Bathroom With a Trans Masculine Coworker [Site title] ( www.themarysue.com )
I don't know whether this is the right place to post this, but I figured you fine folks might get something from it.
Too relatable... ( mendeddrum.org )
The Foo Fighters new album is pretty decent. ( songwhip.com )
Which is something I’m quite surprised I’m saying, because for how perfect the first two records are, every release since has felt less relevant to me than the previous....
What's your favourite live performance? ( www.youtube.com )
I’ve never known energy as much as TV On The Radio throw into every second of this performance of Wolf Like Me for Letterman. To the point that the album version leaves me cold.
