In the run up to the new Fantastic Four movie I’m trying to convince my son their names are: Captain Stretcho Little Frankie Flame Pants Rufty Tufty First And my personal favourite Whereshegone #fantasticfour #mcu

The thing that upset me most about the story was the grammar. I stopped taking it in after “To easy” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s 16 years today that I passed my viva and became Dr Buckley. The time really does fly once you leave evil medical school

I’ve always thought one of the cats looked like Wild Bill in Deadwood. Finally we have conclusive proof.

Bravo.

I’ve just realised I’ve reached an age where Gaviscon is my favourite drink

Absolutely gutted to learn that Trial by Content has been cancelled! It was my most enjoyable podcast each week, I’ll miss @jowrotethis.bsky.social, @da7e.bsky.social and Neil Miller in my ears

Filling in some paperwork for a bid and I do not appreciate falling in the 41-50 bracket. What's worse is that is the second to last bracket

I’ve had to fire up an old laptop and I came across the reviews for my first solo EPSRC bid. I got two reasonable scores and then the third was scored 1 (out of 6), with some of the most brutal criticism I’ve ever had #academiclife #academia

This feels deeply unpleasant, advertising an app that lets you make fake videos of you kissing anyone that you have a photo of. What can possibly go wrong ?

Think about things and then just talk at people for two hours

@jowrotethis.bsky.social @da7e.bsky.social you forgot another Russell Crowe franchise appearance! He’s also in there MCU as Zeus (best thing in the movie arguably)

I’ve got an idea for a new product I’m going to develop next year. Santa as a Service. Not sure what it does but it’s got a great name.

I’m on my way to London to speak at the Anti-Corruption and Procurement Integrity roundtable, where I’m going to talk about how deepfakes could be used in fraud. Expect voice clones and more.

Get ready for a festive fil. Hot take. Uncle Frank is probably the biggest villain in cinema history. #homealone

I finished the main story on Dave the Diver last night. What an utterly charming game, I think it might be one of favourites of recent years #davethediver

I’m accomplishing a lifelong dream. I’m about to see Adam and Joe live for Christmas. STEPHEN! #adamandjoe

I started pootling about with Tiny Glade on Steam. The controls take some adjusting to on the Steam Deck but it’s very satisfying

I dared (accidentally) to poke my head to the world outside of people I follow on Twitter. It is a wasteland of hate and bigotry.

The biggest cultural difference I’ve noticed between the UK and France on my recent travels is the extensive Manga collection in the majority of French supermarkets.

I think a lot of sales people overestimate the buying power of an individual academic. It is flattering that they might think I have the ability to buy an entire cloud security solution for a whole university

It’s probably time to move away from Twitter for a bit, I’ve been away from Bluesky for ages - is it the one to focus on instead?
