take me back, if i could relive one day, this would be it

How it feels to have built a PC right before the great RAM crisis and console price hikes

Tom Felton was 13 when they bleached his hair and handed him a decade inside the biggest movie franchise on the planet. By his mid-twenties he was parked at a dive bar in LA most nights, drinking pints before sundown with whiskey chasers. His agents, his managers, his girlfriend, his lawyer, they all showed up for an intervention. Sent him to a rehab facility in Malibu that cost $40,000 a month. He walked out after one day. He went through several more rounds over the next couple years. Then in 2021, he collapsed on live TV at a celebrity golf event and got carted off the course. He was 34. Emma Watson (Hermione in the original films) pushed him to be honest about all of it in his memoir. The book hit #1 on the New York Times list. In it, Felton wrote: “To this day I never know which version of myself I’m going to wake up to.” That’s the guy who just reached out to 14-year-old Lox Pratt, the kid cast as the new Draco Malfoy in HBO’s Harry Potter reboot. And he didn’t give him acting tips. He told Pratt “this is your journey,” then just gave the kid his phone number. In case he ever needs to talk. Radcliffe wrote a letter to the new Harry. Grint wrote one to the new Ron. All three original stars reached out. But i keep thinking about Felton’s version of this, because he’s the one who knows what the fame actually does to you when nobody’s watching. He’s 38 now and playing adult Draco on Broadway (literally 400 meters from Radcliffe’s own show, which is kind of wild). On a podcast this week he called the social media pressure these new kids will face “inconceivable.” When Felton filmed the originals, they shot on actual film. The mic boom guy was a 70-year-old rolling cigarettes between takes. No Twitter. No comment sections. No millions of people with opinions about a child’s performance in real time. The HBO series drops Christmas 2026. Seven seasons planned. A full decade of filming. Lox Pratt is the exact same age Felton was when all of this started for him. And the man who barely survived what comes after just handed the kid his number and said “I’m there.”

@Shuttsapalooza Its really nice to know this, he may have not worked out for us but thats an amazing gesture

Steve was never really overly impressed by anyone’s status, but football was different.. and knowing just how buzzing he’d be to know he’d left such an impact on a player. This simple gesture was incredibly touching. He’d be signing him on every FM for the rest of his career tbh

When Steve Buchan (the Vegan Bay Baker) passed away, Nilsen reached out to his family, having met Steve just once, months before at Pittodrie.

@hxssanburner__ Mines are annual and it always catches me

@Flexer1973 @AberdeenFC 2 late for me i took the dogs out😂

@stopit792 @AberdeenFC Much better now!

@AberdeenFC Sound in the Teams call is terrible/non existent

@AberdeenFC …. Awful audio on the live stream. Does she have her finger over the mic?

Really glad we pay for AberDNA to NOT hear the manager answering questions on the livestream due to horrendous audio issues 😂😂😂

Come on @AberdeenFC get the microphones sorted out tonight. No point having the manager there if we can't hear a word!! (& I don't know sign language!!!)

@AberdeenFC next time u hold a online aberdna meeting maybe sort the audio out so it doesn’t sound like the gaffers being held hostage in the mountains of Afghanistan

Anyone sign up for the online qna with the gaffer imorn? Did u get a link through?

Maybe ive been sniffing too much glue, but i didnt think our performance today was bad, definitely an improvement.

This is the best thing you’ll watch today 🤣

Peter Leven once he starts hitting the treadmill at 7am.

@AberdeenFC Only logical explanation

@MillieWiller Its like just getting over cancer to find out uve got aids…
