Will never not giggle at Nedward's "happy birthday :)"

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

hey folks if you have an android phone: google shadow installed a "security app".

play.google.com

Android System SafetyCore - Apps on Google Play

Provides safety features for Android devices.

I had to go and delete it myself this morning.

#oh oh oh #radiohead

POSITIVE AFFIRMATIONS: i am not a creep. i am not a weirdo. i do know what the hell i’m doing here. i do belong here

thou shalt err on the side of compassion

Completely surprised that 'No Surprises' or another track from 'Ok Computer' by Radiohead isn't on here

Davechella #10: Edward Little

Bringing you a Little something for the weekend… Dave’s playlist this week is for Edward Little! 🎧✨

Listen here:

For last week’s Jopson playlist, Liam Garrigan chose "It Serves Me Right” by John Lee Hooker.

As always, you can help us to keep the party going by sharing your own playlists in the #davechella tag! 🎶❄️

You're 100% spot on here - Sumner's an addict written by someone who's never used! And very interesting take on recovery also!

So I need to babble about a contrast I noticed between two 'cold boys in boats' shows: The Terror and The North Water. So, in The North Water, Jack O'Connell is wonderful as ship's surgeon Patrick Sumner.

But, and this is a regretful but, a decision made by his character/the show's writers just straight up *busted* the show for me. He's supposedly (due to complex backstory reasons) addicted to laudanum/opium. Yet, in the third ep, he apparently decides to send *his whole supply* off with someone else, to somewhere else, and, it being the heckin' arctic, therefore loses it. I remember straight-up pausing the show to go rant to my partner "Is it this bitch's first day as a drug addict? He didn't even keep *any* on his person at all times? Come the heck on!"

Where in The Terror, after three years stuck in ice, this absolute madlad, Mr Blanky, still has his tobacco for his last smoke, on his person, at all times:

And gleefully takes it while waiting for the monsterbear to kill him. *That's* a sailor with an addiction I can believe in!

Proof Harry D.S. Goodsir wasn't a doctor *yet* -- readable handwriting!

Obsessed with how in the Erebus muster book all of the officer’s signature are super fancy and neat and then you have Goodsir…

Bless his little heart

Reblog if you think asexuality is a legitimate sexuality.

I'm trying to prove something.

My partner just suggested he's the dolorous Edd of The Terror, and yes, Collins kind of is, but also no. Edd's dolorous, but he's realistic, he knows his world's shit, he's frustrated that other people seem to expect his world not to be shit, he's come to terms with his shit world & expects nothing else. Edd, in a weird way, is healthy in his dolor. Where Henry Collins is *suffering* , poor fella. Both of them brought to life by incredible actors though!

my favorite part about henry collins is that he would be having a bad time in every timeline. he's your coworker that's always fighting battles. he's hitting his bong on his smoke break and having a panic attack on shift. he gets in fights w squirrels he doesn't start and does lose. you would have LOVED ssris and weed induced psychosis ‼️‼️‼️

Terror rewatch: ep 2. Can't stop thinking about the scene where (fake) Hickey's caulking the captain's seat of ease then he & Crozier have a drink. I think he gives himself away *twice*. Firstly he uses a slur (or at least, a rude word) for Irish *catholics* about himself & by extension Crozier. Yes, Crozier was Irish & suffered prejudice from that, but he was Church of Ireland/Protestant! Unsure if (real) Hickey was Catholic or not, but being from Limerick, he certainly wouldn't use that word of himself (slur reclamation wasn't a thing yet, yo!). Secondly, when they toast -- Hickey's clearly never heard of/is unsure of why Crozier toasts "Ourselves, then" (as, he later says, a bad joke). It's because of this (screenshot from wiki attached)

The Royal Navy do seated toasts every day at wardroom dinners -- Crozier asks what day it is, it's Wednesday, then says "Ourselves, then" because that's Wednesday's toast! Hickey (though not an officer) should be familiar with this already, but he's *not* - because he's an impostor! I think Crozier's suspicious of him from this point on, because of both these reveals, but is too depressed/alcoholic/distracted to actually *do* anything about it.

Terror rewatch, ep 1: just noticed it was Collins (as second master) who *sent* Billy Orren up top - specifically to teach another AB his knots! And it's Lieut. Le Visconte (aka Dundy) who won't let Collins try to save Orren after he falls -- notably, it's Collins who knows Orren's name and not Dundy -- perhaps presaging the Lieutenant's callousness about the men later?

Wish you were here!?!?! No will not be normal about this!

Davechella #8: Thomas Blanky

Happy Sunday, campers! Dave's playlist for the eighth week of #Davechella is for Thomas Blanky. ✨🎶

Listen here:

For last week's Irving playlist, Ronan Raftery chose "Old Note" by Lisa O'Neill.

Keep your own amazing character playlists coming using #davechella! ✨🎶

Jopson, Dundy & JFJ get an entire fully stocked fashion designer's atelier with fabrics & trims & buttons! Bridgens visits sometimes when he's not working the library with his Harry (Peglar ships' tattoo artist?)

who else has comforting fix-it like scenarios about the terror/the coldboys that their brain’s invented and they like to think about sometimes, because im getting dangerously close to posting mine unprompted

I got Diggle. Tracks - i'm here for the snackies! And occasional cuddles next to the warm stove <3

guess who made a very very silly for fun quiz? (it was me!)

includes both minor and major characters... i might add more Qs later :)

too many frozen boys!

I think I caught that sound change too! Also, in the final two episodes, even the wind and the rocks sound a bit different! Not to dox myself, but I've spent time in very windswept 'barren' places (southern hemisphere, and sand & small shrubs, rather than rocks) and there's different 'tones' the wind makes at certain times that give the creepy creepy feels. I think they used the 'creepy creepy' wind not the normal wind more in the last two episodes! And they changed the tent flapping a bit too (probably because the tents were getting worn out).

I just have to shout out the sound designers on the Terror. On my rewatch (from 'Horrible from Supper' onwards), I'm really noticing how straight up disturbing the sounds are for some pivotal scenes. The Jirv murder with the off-key song, Jopson's crawling scene (I'm sure there are more but these two spring most immediately). Does anyone know if they used infrasound or some other low-frequency effects? I swear I'm getting the heebie-jeebies from the sounds alone!

The cow-story scene! I'm wondering, given that (real) Jopson was lashed early in his career (was show Jopson lashed?), whether (show) Jopson is dying from the scurvy faster than some others because he's got reopened wounds all over his back. (show) Crozier saw the state of Fitzjames -- if (show) Jopson was lashed too, he'd know what the scurvy was doing to him. And he tells him a story they both know to comfort him (and this is their last not-hallucinating scene together)! A story, to say goodbye, perhaps?

Aaaaarg tuunbaq attack! Fitzjames & the rockets!!

On my Terror rewatch and Jirv is just so happy when he meets Koveyook & companions. So grateful. I feel like it's the purest emotion we see from him. Also, I didn't notice before that while it's Hodge who meets original Mr Hickey, it's Irving who meets imposter-Hickey! I wonder how much a role Jirv's evangelicalism/non-conformist Christianity made him accept impostor-Hickey at face value even though he's clearly sus af. That born-again instinct to accept people wanting a 'fresh start'. I think it makes the betrayal (that it's specifically Irving gets murdered by impostor-Hickey) more poignant than if it were one of the other Lieuts.
