Lunch: a roast beef bap (white) and a bag of plain crisps
Very Simpsonesque out now. No need for the air conditioner yet, but I suspect it’ll be proving its worth some time this weekend
Some bedding is in the wash

Much laundry washed and dried out in the garden. HWMBO hadn't unpacked from holiday so it was all my stuff that got done. If it's not in the basket, it doesn't get washed! Although I was kind and did his jeans.Comment

Tea has been a thick-cut ribeye steak with fried onions and chips
This was accompanied by the rest of the shoplifting thing from yesterday
This afternoon, I thoroughly investigated the matter of tulips; specifically, the replacement of the word “tulip” with “tulip”. I’d forgotten that this isn’t done using vB’s naughty words list, which will only replace things with *s, but using another feature that allows for replacement of arbitrary strings. In XenForo, there is no such global replacement feature but the censored words feature can do replacement. The importer doesn’t do anything about either of them, so I need to add a custom step to make that all work as it currently does
Fun fact (may not be that much fun): the replacement happens as the page is rendered, so all your naughty words are safely in the database, awaiting an age that’s more linguistically relaxed

Tonight’s major motion picture premiere was Project Hail Mary (2026) which I’ve been looking forward to since I read the book sometime around the start of the year. I thought it was really good
I’m hoping its success is enough to get the film of his novel Artemis off the starting blocks, because I reckon that would make a good film too
After that, a rewatch of 21 Bridges (2019) which is a good take on the copaganda theme of the cop with an undeserved bad rep dealing with a situation where only his style of policing will get the job done
And finally, the final episode of S1 of Pluribus, which was clearly written once they’d been guaranteed S2, and none the worse for that as it sets up a new direction for things, suggesting the alien group mind may not be as impenetrable as it seems
Goodnight all
