I absolutely LOVE this concept! This would be so much better than stilted Alexa chats, or Siri offering to show me if I ask the question again on my phone.

Trump met Xi at the airport? Who else has he ever done that for? Oh yes… Putin.

Every day I open this app, listen to the news, or read a paper, and this song becomes more and more apt. youtu.be/ac4E_UsmB1g?...

Oh fuck. Don’t send him back here! We’ve got more than enough of them thank you.

Yup. Definitely not a broken system. Well worth being scared of those loony socialist ideals. Best keep things as they are.

I can’t be the only developer who sees the word AI and inside screams “oh, fuck off!” I use AI to debug because I like how it can trawl through data at speed. But AI is not smart, it’s killing the planet, it’s made me sceptical of all I see and read online, and it’s making rich people richer.

If I believed in God, I’d swear the Antichrist was already here. Turns out he’s a tech bro. 😈

Reform UK have come up with an amazingly enlightened way to deal with the pesky fact that people with disabilities sometimes need extra support… Pretend they don’t exist! Sorted!

Happy Caturday… TRUTH

I’m pretty certain Harry Hill is at this celebration of life for my wife’s uncle. Passing himself off as a friend of the departed. To be honest, I can see him doing it. I think he’d find it amusing.

Les Anderson asking Justin on the Today programme “would you like 6 Afghani men living next door to you?” Genuinely sounds like he was making an offer. As though he had them in a van, ready to drop off.

Turns out Nige the saviour of the UK put on a massive party to celebrate his win at Clacton. He just chose to put it on nowhere near Clacton.

But it would cost soooo much money to fix all those water leaks. Where would we find the money? A MONEY TREE? leftfootforward.org/2024/04/16-w...

At least we have a hosepipe ban to help save that precious water. www.greenpeace.org.uk/news/leaky-p...

Besides, it will cost millions if not billions to do anything. And where would we get the money? edition.cnn.com/2026/07/31/b...

We just haven’t had the time to prepare for this change. It’s crazy! www.nytimes.com/1988/06/24/u...

If only we’d had some sort of warning that our weather would get warmer. That warming would happen. Globally. It’s all happened so fast. publicdomainreview.org/collection/f...

My wife really has the toughest life.

I have just listened to the local, UK, and World news headlines and can save you the bother. This gif sums up exactly what is happening. Everywhere. To everyone.

At first I thought this was a normal sized screen and very, VERY small man. I think I need to sleep.

Is this what the new Apple Siri device will be based on? I hope so! 🤞 Also loving the punk chain just hanging at the back.

A month ago I was bemoaning the state of @sanity.io - I was wrong. I’ve just spent the past couple of days setting up a new site & getting to grips with all the new features. Sanity haven’t spread themselves thin. They’ve made an epic platform to build… ANYTHING! 🥰 🤓 🧑‍💻

Please don’t tell me F1TV will be commentated by Crofty this year!

Joy of ADHD #36 A plan I made yesterday has now altered three times. So the decision part of my brain has now checked out and left me to it. 🧠

Guess who recently discovered @prestomusic.bsky.social! A 1953 recording of Tosca with Maria Callas and Mozart’s Requiem performed by @ensemblepygmalion.bsky.social 🥰😍❤️🎼

Anyone else feel that @sanity.io has lost its way a bit? I still love it, and the team behind it. But the quality feels like its dipped as they try to do so much. I spend more time debugging than I do building 😢

Here’s a thought: maybe don’t replace the nuclear weapons, because they are F**KING EVIL. Article from the Economist.

Palantir managing the NHS data is equivalent to Elon Musk managing all our schools data. Plus another sign of privatisation through the back door.

I have loved Lucy & Yak and their drive to be inclusive. However, I will not be buying from @lucyandyak.bsky.social again until they reverse their decision to remove size 32/4xl from their range. That is all.

Just watching the #WEF in Davos at the moment

Tell me again how respected the US is on the world stage Mr Trump 🤣

I am a huge fan of AI and integrating it into work. But I wish larger organisations could see outside the Microsoft bubble. www.manchester.ac.uk/about/news/w...

As part of a concerted “fuck you” to Trump, we have started using this at home. apps.apple.com/gb/app/buyeu...

On the plus side. We did discover the amazing Polo Bar on Liverpool Street. 🤤

What is the definition of a one-trick pony? www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c1...

Just coming home from the #UNGA at 80 event in London. It was an incredible line up and a beautiful venue but shoddily organised to say the least. Waited over two hours in a queue to get in only to watch latecomers stroll in front of us. Missed all the main speeches. Gutted. And £100 lighter to boot

Anyone know why drunk people on buses always listen to rubbish music? I’d have a lot more tolerance if it was Ministry, Led Zeppelin, or Bruch’s Violin Concerto. But it’s always tinny dub

Here we go again!

Today has mostly been…

I also discovered that the @soasuni.bsky.social website by Numiko may be one of the most beautiful academic websites out there. www.soas.ac.uk

I’ve just listened to part of The Epic of Gilgamesh in Akkadian whilst lying in bed. Proof that the internet can inspire as well as it conspires.

It would take around 1.1 million acres of solar panels to (clean) power the world. That's less than a quarter of the number of acres devoted globally to golf courses. You can see where this is going, right...?

Awesome! I got my ADHD diagnosis in #ADHDAwarenessMonth

The mystery of medical diagnosis!

I’ve just realised how badly I’ve been neglecting BlueSky and how poorly I’ve been using it. I’m going to try and rectify this. Starting now… ish
