It should be possible to document the amount of time in office spent on Zoom / Teams calls and use that as evidence that you can work remotely.

Apple Backs Up Tim Cook’s Memories To Port Over Into Next CEO

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened. Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah. (h/t @iainsol.bsky.social)

If the past really is a foreign country I’m surprised so many right-wingers want to live there.

Star Trek’s Kate Mulgrew And Colm Meaney Unite For Irish Crime Drama

📸 Forgot to share this pic from yesterday afternoon, as this bad boy sailed past my apartment…

🏃🏼‍♂️ This morning's quick run, done. Needed to cut it short from the planned 5km as I'm already running late! A lovely, sunny morning out there ☀️ #running

This morning's run in the gorgeous sunshine ☀️ 🏃‍♂️😜 The sky is an incredible shade of blue right now. 😍 #running

For the first time in decades, consensus broke at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. The United States cast the lone “no” vote on a document aimed at improving justice systems for women and girls worldwide. Misogyny is the official policy of the US under Trump.

Watching Detective Harry Hole on Netflix. Great to get immersed in a good bit of Nordic Noir 📺

📸 Another slice of sunset. #London #sunset #skyscrapers

📸 Lovely bit of sunset sky out there this evening 😍

Remembered I had a few of these in the fridge and hadn't tried them yet. They taste like... summer. And remind me of the beach. And only 3.3% so very light. ☀️ #beer #cruzcampo

Accidentally fell into Comptons, so it’s obligatory to have a pint. I don’t make the rules! 🍺 🏳️‍🌈 #London #Soho

Cosy fluff-piece on Farage in today’s Times, I note. Don’t hold out much hope they’ll have mentioned the number of Reform candidates with previous for extreme racist views or wanting to decimate the NHS. *sighs*

This morning's run: slowly upping my speed 🏃‍♂️ Bonus: a post-run sweaty selfie! 🤣 #running #strava

This is outrageous. Just after Trump announced his sham ceasefire, Israel bombed an ambulance workers funeral in South Lebanon. Channel 4 News was there and captured everything. Israel does NOT want peace. It wants to keep committing genocide and stealing other people’s land.

Stamp doodle logo for the @cnagaeilge.bsky.social AthGhaelú campaign "to encourage people to use Irish placenames instead of English placenames in all aspects of life." They've also created a Gealltanas Logainmneacha "to encourage individuals and groups to use Irish-only placenames" #SpéirGhorm

Tonight's dinner, courtesy of Frank. 👨‍🍳 Salmon, marinated in a deliciously spicy Korean sauce, with roasted veg, fluffy rice, some gorgeous pink ginger - all topped off with a perfect fried egg. I just had to take a pic! Needless to say, it was absolutely delicious.

Some more biblical-slash-SciFi skies over London this evening.

Hungarian Prime Minister-designate Péter Magyar is going for the jugular immediately.

It take weapons grade arrogance to invent popesplaining.

Absolutely magical. Handel's Messiah on Dublin's Fishamble Street this lunchtime, 284 years after it was first performed. Proinnsías Ó Duinn, 85 years young conducting, a living legend.

58 days until I'm back on the beach in #Sitges. ☀️⛱️🍑 Funny how this afternoon's torrential rain here in London got me thinking of how much I miss the Spanish sun...

"Victor Orban's Defeat Shows That Ultimately, He Was Too Woke" - Finty Bucklefast in tomorrow's Telegraph

I'm not sure what I'm enjoying more: - The victory of a democratically-elected opposition over a bigoted, fascist regime in #Hungary 🇭🇺 or - Responses from butt hurt US fascists claiming it's like the fall of Rome. When they couldn't find Hungary on a map. ¿Por qué no los dos? 🤣

Say "weak on crime" again. I dare you.

Can’t wait for JD Vance to campaign for Reform in the UK. How about next week? Is next week good for you?

*Finally* some good news in the world! #Hungary 🇭🇺

I'm blockading the strait of Hormuz and so's my wife

*Wiiiiiide* awake at 5am on a Saturday morning. Dear Brain, what did I ever do to you to deserve this? Oh yeah...

I'm temporarily (hopefully) disabled and my walking is very limited. At least 3 wheelchair users forced off the luas at Stephen's Green. I'll never forget how these pricks with big engines but small thoughts shutdown public transport because their wallets were taking a hit. #speirGorm

Constantly amazed at the inability of some human adults to have public phone calls without the use of speakerphone. You're facilities manager, Dave, you're not on a reality show. Put the phone to your ear and act like an adult.

First they bomb Iran to distract us from Epstein. Then they drop an Epstein bomb to distract us from Iran. Have I got this fuckery right?

Lads. The sky outside is phenomenal right now 😍 #sunset #London #ShotOniPhone

Is you're going to spam call me from a call centre, read from a script, in an impenetrable accent, don't get pissy with me because you can't pronounce *MY* surname. Or when I ask where you're calling from. How not to sell, lesson one. 🙄

There was once a point where you could justify this kind of Theon Greyjoy bullshit. But it's now clear what it is: the tacit support of genocidal rhetoric, which serves to encourage, not obstruct, his actions.

Curious how all the people who claim to be so passionate about defending Christianity and protecting Christians from persecution are silent on what’s happening in Lebanon right now….

Trump administration discovering that somehow the Israelis are even worse allies than they are.

You never miss professional diplomats until they're gone

Settling in to watch the latest episode of #Daredevil 📺

Spain and Italy have demanded explanations from Israel after the country’s soldiers in Lebanon detained a Spanish United Nations peacekeeper and fired warning shots at an Italian convoy.

Sitting in the sunshine on my balcony and can I just say it's GLORIOUS out here this evening. ☀️

Heading home to spend some time on the balcony with a cold drink 🍸 ☀️

The fact remains that yesterday, Donald Trump threatened genocide. His party did nothing to push back. A two-week delay doesn't change either of those things.

Feeling a little spring in my step this morning. The weekly “competitive” weigh-in showed I’ve lost a kilo over the last week. All this early morning exercise and (sort of) careful eating is paying off. 💪🏻

📸 The view from here. Yes, more sunsets. Shot on iPhone 17 Pro, no edits.
