Hi, I'm Ben ✌🏻 🚲 I cycle by default. 🎵 I play the cello. ✝️ I'm a Christian. ❤️ I live with Ellie and two mini-mes. 🎥 I run a video production B Corp, producing video content that's good for people, good for platforms and good for the planet:

This is like being the education correspondent and not knowing what phonics are. It's one of these things we take for granted... 🙃

What amazes me about this clip is just how vapid his hatred is. People doing something fun that he doesn't like or understand who briefly get in his way....makes him admit homicidal desires. As I rider it's hard to square that so many people feel this kind of hostility over such trivial shit.

Full update from our team. We STILL do not have admin access to the account.

Maybe just putting in a regular tap would have saved state-owned South Western Railway from having to sponsor the water dispenser in its own station. Just a thought.

I wanted to find out whether anyone is actually making money from AI* and this came up 👀 *Yes. Nvidia is making money. Nvidia and literally nobody else.

Lime bikes get the SNL treatment... 😅

Ran my first sub-20 5k this morning, after lots of hard work and a couple of failed attempts. Apologies to anyone who has to talk to me for the next month, because I'm not going to shut up about it.

Very popular in the family WhatsApp chat right now: this trailer for MobLand in which Pierce Brosnan yells our surname and then suggests people google it if they've not heard of it. youtu.be/VvYl1a1Px5Y?...

My new update to this rule is using @pangram.com to confirm whether the text is AI-generated... It's usually obvious, but it's always good to check they're not just a really bad copywriter with really good spelling.

AI is the new WordArt.

Interesting stuff. So there *are* different levels of urgency but they all look and sound the same to the user. The only one that's different is level 1 because opting out is not possible. Quite horrifying to think about when that might be called for.

I wasn't a fan of this evening's Scarecrows' Wedding 4DX Bedtime Story Experience, to be honest

Happy #OctoEclipse, everyone! 🐙 @octopus.energy

Coming soon... 🐝

This is truly sickening.

Always nice to see the classic World Cup copywriting clichés come back around. "Show X the red card" "Kick Y into touch" "Give Z a hydration break"

It's been a joy to work with Tameside Council to document this brilliant school street scheme in Mossley. The important messages for these projects are always the ones shared by the children we speak to. Great to see the cross-party political support for these schemes, too!

It's why they're likely quietly supportive of the under 16 ban. It's the least disruptive option to their existing business. It doesn't require addressing the algorithmic feeds/amplification/rage baiting that differentiates modern social media (2026 Facebook/Twitter vs 2006 Facebook/MySpace etc).

The solution to this was kind of staring me in the face...why am I still bothering to use Google Search if it's no longer a good product? Giving @ecosiasearch.bsky.social a go. So far I've been able to get a definition for a word without tearing my hair out, so that's promising.

Incredible score for the UK here. There is something to work with if anyone feels like harnessing it.

The @b3ta.com image challenge this week is to change one letter in the name of a famous work of art. I spent way too long changing Edward Hopper's Nighthawks into Fighthawks.

It's so good!!! It seems that nobody I know is watching it, and I don't get why. It's easily up there with the best British sketch shows, even though most of them are only 6x30 mins per series...

Good luck scanning that QR code from 100 metres away...

I'm glad we didn't stay up for the annual tradition of regretting staying up for the voting. #Eurovision

Finland is actually my favourite so far. I've found most of this entries a bit meh. #Eurovision

Why is it called Eurovision Asia when Eurovasian was right there? #Eurovision

Interesting look at the history of cycle paths in the UK - and the history of arguments about cycle paths!

WAIT A FREAKIN' MINUTE

It's a Bike Tetris kind of day 🧱 #quaxing

Love this tire branding. Apologies for not getting a better angle 🤣

It's so devastating that years from now, schoolkids will learn about the climate crisis and how Donald freaking Trump saved us all from it.

Actual madness right here. Hopefully this is stating the obvious here, but Reform are pretty much the worst people you can imagine giving power to.

This is what it means to be English

I think it's really underappreciated that a large chunk of people across the world are everyday being served images of the world's worst atrocities, essentially live as they happen, in ways previously only experienced by people on the frontline, who have historically had years of trauma as a result.
