I made a blog! I'm not sure if it's that interesting to the few people that follow me on here (it's about making/engineering), but who knows, maybe? 🤷‍♂️ timang.us

Unbelievably lenient. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Can you help save Edinburgh's cherished arts and culture hub? Summerhall is under threat - can you sign the petition to demand the Council stop its redevelopment destroying the vibrant arts community?✍️🙏 you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/sa...

He's just read Adrian Tchaikovsky's Dogs of War, hasn't he?

Anything that the SNP are responsible for and that doesn’t work is ALWAYS blamed on England. I don’t think I have ever seen them take responsibility for any failure or problems. It’s very similar to the old UK Govt defence or ‘Brussels’.

"When you said you gave a cock head, at the weekend..."

Imagine if the Scottish election had been held now. The SNP are impressive political operators, but they're also incredibly lucky.

You think things can't get any stupider and yet... youtu.be/7p5LxFdc-Qg?...

Of the many reasons to be an AI naysayer, getting upset that it is leading to more bug exploits (e.g. french fridges) is a bit of a silly one. Sure, in the short term it's not great, but exposing such things forces such bugs to be fixed, ultimately resulting in better, safer software.

Does he... just not know what artificial means?

I see the Greens are doing a Corbyn.

MD @ Evri head office: "Our brand is firmly in the toilet, I'm struggling to think of anything we can do to further worsen our reputation. Wait. Wait... I'VE GOT IT!" www.bbc.co.uk/news/videos/...

Hard to imagine Keir Starmer giving this speech.

Rare opportunity to invest in no future.

Fuck around, find out.

NASA picture of the day today is a real 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿beauty! This is a composite image of the ~5000yo Callanish Stones on the Isle of Lewis. The amazing Giuseppe Petricca has only gone and photographed the Sun at noon there, every few days, for a whole year. #Dedication 🔭🧪👌 ℹ️: science.nasa.gov/image-articl...

I don't really care about royalty or royal stories, or whether we are a monarchy or not at all, but it does seem to me as if Earl Spencer has basically spent a large fraction of his adult life exploiting the death of his sister, and that's a bit grubby.

I wonder how much money Jacob Coxon is making from doing this extensive media tour 🤔.

Didn't know spaghetti was so flammable!

You know when you watch a film and at the start there are characters that seem pretty innocuous, and by the end it's revealed that they're really total evil bastards? This pair give off that vibe.

Is the first ever orange man advocating for United Ireland?

Slightly alarming seeing all the people on here sharing their childhood memories of 25 years ago. I mean I was only just an adult, to be fair, but time man... time.

Oddly threatening.

I wonder what the balaclava'd wanker "protestors" position is on banning the Burka...

Not sure I really understand the people who use Bluesky to routinely quote post Twitter posts. Like, wasn't the point of using Bluesky to get away from that quagmire?

Are you listening, UK Labour? www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I'm kind of hazy on this, but I'm pretty sure the last time Germany elected fascists it didn't go so well, right?

Farage said he "deplored" anyone wearing masks or balaclavas at public demonstrations. He added: "You should not be allowed to be masked up, balaclava-ed up and go out and protest on the streets of our country. It is wrong at every level." Welcome to your core vote, sonny jim.

Dearie me, Nige, this isn't really a very good look, is it?

In honor of Uber shutting down in Nigeria this week, here’s my favorite story about Uber in Nigeria.

"No longer are Reform comfortably leading in all the opinion polls - in some they're not leading at all." I do wonder if Chris Mason understands words sometimes. Since Burnham became leader, Labour lead in roughly twice as many polls as Reform. "Some".

The SNP have spent a large fraction of their 20 years centralising power, and are continuing to do so. I wonder if their voters consider this ironic?

Ordered something from Germany. On the invoice it literally says: "Dispatch mode - UPS + Brexit surcharge 26,01 €"

I mean look, it's just a clumsy way to make SpaceX semi plausibly resemble an AI company, so that investors invest.

Definitely not in any way shady.

It's kind of wild that, as far as I can see, there's been no polling at all on Scottish Parliament voting intention since the election in May. Totally normal country.

I think what’s most important on exam results day is to talk about yourself to imaginary teenagers who don’t use this website.

Checkmate, Nige.

How does Sturgeon not just die of embarrassment? Completely shameless.

It's sort of wild that the US president declares war and announces peace deals 3-4 times a week now and it's just...barely even news any more? Could it be unhealthy? Who can say!

All these AI companies failing to practice the most basic sandboxing and firewalling protocols. Either they're incompetent or...

For someone so interested and obsessed about AI, Rory Stewart really doesn't seem to understand what it is at a basic level. So frustrating to listen to. IT IS NOT THINKING.

I laughed

If I make a mistake, avoidable or otherwise, I think I'm still willing to apologise for it.
