To the PM measuring engagement on the Slack Halloween nonsense. Please don’t.

That was some really great JetLag, has to be my favourite season yet.

Lime and ginger chewing gum? They’re wild on the continent.

Watching Rory Stewart and Alastair Campbell argue with Count Binface is something very special.

The new Firefox design in nightly is really nicely put together. Some of the small touches are really well done.

"and that is exactly the point" is the new em dash.

This isn't a real car chipmotors.com/luv, it can't be, is it?

It was a good run for England. I think we can all agree the game went to a loveable bunch of chaps who played a decent game.

Not sure I buy the line of Notion killing their mail app because no one opens emails. Every company with an email app it always ends up in the same place.

The Masters of the Universe soundtrack rocks harder than it has any right to. Brian May and Daniel Pemberton nailed the brief. I don't have high hopes for the movie but this is getting some listens.

This is the good football. Regardless who takes it, this has been thrilling.

Series 4 of Invincible is wildly good. I rarely enjoy these adult animation shows but this one, I’m gripped.

Nothing Tech really is some of the best industrial design at the moment. This is a beautiful thing.

Do you have a blog on 11ty or similar markdown based blog that publishes via Github? Would you like to test my new mobile blogging app?

Project Hail Mary is just as good the second time around. Cannot wait for the movie.

The BBCs new Lord of the Flies series really is worth all the hype.

I have many questions about this house. Let’s start with, does the fighter jet come with the property? search.savills.com/property-det...

Well this is just lovely. This is the best kind of software, the kind that feels like it could be a story. apps.apple.com/us/app/lost-...

Well we should protect Fiona at all costs. #thetraitors

Agreeing with mostly everyone that Pluribus on Apple TV is incredible.

Oooo bases is out on Obsidian. Now to try and ignore that and write up my notes I need.

Got in the queue 9:45 (opened at 10am) this morning for @letterslive.com tickets, my favourite event of the year. Entirely sold out before I got the chance to purchase, then by 12 they're being resold at more than double. The world is infinitely frustrating sometimes.

I’m OOO today and used the time to plot the fact over a vintage map of the moon.

New piece,

Really happy with my recent piece, Britishness on an 1800s antique map of England. In glittering gold ink. ✨ mattdavey.etsy.com/listing/1904...

Incredible. youtu.be/hxD10j0t9t4?...

I think this might actually be a step too far in tariff response. www.theguardian.com/business/202...

Really enjoying this eccentric mixed bag Rock and Roll album from The Darkness. open.spotify.com/album/19syLv...

Saw Peter Kay at the o2 last night. It’s quite a mixed bag of a spectacle. Very much watching someone pick up where they left off 20 years ago. I think that’s exactly what people wanted him to do.

The latest Invincible was just brutal.

Love that @tomscott.com came out of retirement for the new series of @jetlagthegame.bsky.social 🎉

The latest season of Severance, I think it might be not good?

Brilliant talk about consistency and expression and ensuring you have a balance with intention. Ridiculously good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQXTt-NZ2Bs

Good heavens I tried 10 minutes of the Meghan Markle tv show. Absolutely tone deaf and vacuous. I have no idea what this is or who it’s for.

Iceland's Eurovision entry looks like a @joelycett.bsky.social prank. I'm not certain it isn't.

Trying to get any tickets these days for a popular event is ridiculous. John Williams in Berlin sold out in the waiting room I was there 30 minutes before they went on sale.

This is mad, a cassette that has a little screen and works both as a real tape and an mp3 player. I don’t have a use for this but it’s a thing of beauty. https://paulthings.com/products/mixxtape-4

Sitting in a crowded Toronto coffee shop I wrote about my perfect Sunday device that’s almost but not quite an iPad. https://mattdavey.co.uk/posts/2024/2025-02-09-my-perfect-sunday-device/

Putting together a greatest of all time playlist, do I just put the entire Rumours album from Fleetwood Mac? I think I do.

I think this might be the most ridiculous car I've seen in a long while. It looks like a 16 year old converted their nan's car.

My wife grabbed my camera for these and I was really happy how they came out.

My only news is now coming from Andy Zaltzman's News Quiz. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

Deleting my threads, not much was worth saving apart from this poem about tea. Poured milk amiss, in to the dark tea abyss. Pale white and taste askew, time to start a cup anew.

I finally won a @playbalatro.com run.

The world this week is a lot. Last week my main concern was a penguin disguised as a nun.

Just bought a diary. The end date on this will be 2030. Seems almost impossible from this side of it.

That’s just a nun out for a pleasure cruise!
