Same here, @nationaltrust.org.uk. Same here.

I like reading @thepokeuk.bsky.social but some content block is required for it to be readable (although I've kept it as a minimal as possible). Now, no embeds work unless you unblock everything. Totally unreadable, and one less visitor as a result.

Manhattan TV - good Freeview players but terrible customer service when they go wrong

In the 70s Sister Sledge used to drive around in British cars. Their favourites were the Austin Music and Cortina Trap.

During Banned Books Week, it's worth pointing out that the UK have had 75 books since 1512 (one every 7 years). The US has had 8093 since 1981 (180 every year). And, yet, the US thinks we're the country suppressing freedoms of expression.

I'm surprised Jerry Hall had an issue lying in a coffin. I'd have thought she was used to sleeping with the dead, having been married to both Mick Jagger and Rupert Murdock

Quite the mixed bag for me and shows the gap in my gaming between the 1980s and the 2000s.

"He's always on the scene" Why did nobody ever think to investigate Fireman Sam for all those blazes? The clues were always there.

Price aside, are people still using VR? It's been tried so many times but not really taken-off.

Her baby is about to set the Guinness world record for the fastest time a baby said their mother's name

Despite being on the iPhone Upgrade Programme, I've not ordered the new phone. Not because I'm not interested in it, but because Apple has given ZERO information to those on the old programme on how they're supposed to transition to the new one. It's pretty poor support, imo

Oh COME ON

Surprised and disappointed that today's NYT Spelling Bee pangram is not "dickhead"

Ahh, nothing says "tribute" more than a web page so stuffed fulls of ads that it's barely readable. I kinda feel tribute pages should be the one place where they should not put advertising.

There's a whole genre of short-form video in the category "clumsy reveals or demonstrations because the person couldn't get somebody else to hold the camera"

I cannot express this any better.... the frustration is real

The Golden Age Of Children's TV is currently an un-whopping ninety nine pence on Kindle! I really am quite proud of it and I think you'll enjoy it, especially at this price. If you've already ready it, why not share the link? Hint Hint. www.amazon.co.uk/Golden-Age-C...

I'm not saying NYT's Wordle AI Bot is a bit crap but today it told me its third suggestion was much better than mine, despite mine being the correct word, and its wasn't.

Isn't this just anywhere outside?

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

I love Dyson products. I love the founder less, but there’s no denying their products are well thought out and built. My Dyson cordless cleaner is the best vacuum cleaner I’ve ever owned. So when they announced a handheld cooling fan, that was something I was certainly interested in. How could they…

I find it hard to hate things. Most of my film reviews are 4 stars, no matter how bad they are. Same for books. But James Dyson's autobiography was such an odious chore, I could barely give it a single star. app.thestorygraph.com/reviews/8e37...

The internet belongs to all of us. Today, we prove it. Code for the People, a documentary short about the open web from the people who built it, is now available. Stream it for free. For freedom. For the future. #OpenSource #OpenWeb #DocumentaryShort

If @countbinface.bsky.social wants to instantly get my vote, he just needs to have an election promise of banning anyone having a bonfire on a day like today. Finally able to open my windows for a bit of breeze and all I'm getting is acrid smoke.

Like we used to get with Smartphones, we now get "extend your battery life by turning off many of the features you bought it for" articles. www.engadget.com/2203334/easy...

Congratulations to Andy Burnham for winning The Masked Singer.

Today I am being served up posts by Reform UK, GB News and Nigel Farage. Now all blocked but it's a constant stream of right wing bile being put onto my timeline. The question is - who's paying for this to happen?

I'm guessing we didn't do well in Eurovision that year #totp

This was truly a time when chart songs were 90% sound effects #totp
