Nothing says "I should buy shares in Lavazza" like (re) reading the Gen AI Product Safety Standards for Education and the Assistive Software Disabled Students’ Allowance consultation document.

mugger: *points gun* your money or your life me: sure thing *hands him my id* you got 2 kids and didn’t actually understand the matrix mugger: no i mean- me: *already running away* you’re late for steph’s recital

*Cyprus hill voice* In Seine from the bus lane

"..achieve your goals beyond glasses." Pretty sure most non-smart glasses wearers already have a higher purpose in their day than just putting the damn things on.

It's hard to quantify how much I hate New Outlook.

#NowPlaying and wondering why I don't play it more often.

“They treat us as experts in our own abilities.” We’ve had the privilege of helping Becky, aka EyeGazeGirl, to enjoy games for over a decade now. She has quadriplegic cerebral palsy which, she says, “makes playing video games quite difficult as I can’t walk or stand or use my arms.”

University of York people - we're delighted to share details of the the university's first accessibility awareness day! It's on 14th May and we have a whole day of events to mark it, with an array of sessions covering a wide range of topics 1/

Google: the world's most intelligent and creative people work here. Also Google: We need to show you an animation of a tooth being cleaned when you put a dental appointment in your calendar.

Schrödinger’s wife: Have you seen the cat? Schrödinger: I have good news and bad news

Modern life is just a long series of recharging things. Interspersed with getting annoyed when someone else hasn't recharged things.

Still laughing having watched this 5 times. My Sunday school teacher will be spinning in her grave. Plus if you're gonna pretend, at least pick a different book of the bible. Isaiah is loooong.

Eyewitness accounts in the immediate wake of disaster and violence are often TERRIBLY inaccurate. And within hours, people will have talked and spread enough conflicting narratives that everybody's "memories" are at least like 30% cobbled together after-the-fact.

Indians: Mask on the back of my head might stop a tiger attack. Brits: Googly eyes will protect my chips.

It's rare that I'd recommend watching a video of either of these men, but this is hilarious.

Yoda on a walkie would be a total disaster. Saying “Over” before every message. Get serious

It's 2026. Headphones. HEADPHONES. EVERYONE GET HEADPHONES.

Pleased to see the BBC talking about the new changes that will make voting more accessible this May. New card overlays and audio-described ballot papers will help blind and partially sighted voters make their mark with more confidence, independence, and secrecy. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

#BoardsOfCanada seem to have broken the Bleep website. In the meantime check out my mate Dave's BoC quilt, which he finished just in time. The quilting is hexagons, the thread is turquoise (see what he did there?) www.instagram.com/reel/DXZ1_Ce...

One of my greatest career achievements was persuading a Director of Marketing that carousels are bad UX and don't work. Only managed it once. And like all Directors of Marketing they left within a year. But i still remember that day. I felt so alive.

Carousel is a bad choice, but at least it isn't auto side scrolling (yet...)

Genuinely cannot tell if these are genuine undercover Stasi or Vic Reeves and Bob Mortimer larking about.

Them: Download our case study so we can show you how great our product is. Me: OK, worth a read... Them: Tick to join the mailing list or you can't download stuff about how great our product is. Me: Um....

No I'm not addicted but yes I did just have to raid the emergency camping coffee supplies.

Daughter walks in while I'm listening to #Autechre... "sounds like the kind of music someone would make while they are dying".

No idea what Sir Olly Robbins looks like, but I can only see this one. #TheThickOfIt

If you want to sound angry avoid slightly grumpy grandpa phrases like "frankly staggering" and "beggars belief".

“Here we go! The woke…” [wheel spins, audience ooh] “RNLI!” [audience boo] “Won’t even let you…” [more wheel spinning] “Say Bangers & Mash” [gasps] “Because of…” [clickclickclick…click] “Cyclists!” [loud jeering] “Let’s hear how party leaders respond to these claims, straight after Right Said Fred”

It’s a mark of how completely normalised the corruption & depravity have become that we barely bat an eyelid at the thought of two *property developers*, one Trump’s nepo baby son-in-law, being sent to represent the USA in peace negotiations with Iran. Sometimes it all hits you afresh.

Bereaved family members of Covid victims write to Nigel Farage urging him to sack his Croydon candidate who said COVID was a "staged event" by the US military, with vaccines used to control the population. Reform has not responded to our story revealing his views bylinetimes.com/2026/04/15/r...

Using big LLMs for basic queries is 'like turning on stadium floodlights to look for your keys' - this is good on the AI environmental questions.

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.

I’ll never forget watching The Wicker Man with my outer Hebridean mum. “I just don’t know where there got all that wicker from”

Can't work out if this is deluded or a sick burn from Theresa: "Teresa says her way of packing is more “European.” She’s from Eastbourne (which, she says, is closer to Europe) and has an affinity for continental living."

I resent this assumption, Tidal.

Speculation around the return of Boards Of Canada has further intensified following the presence of a number of mysterious posters in different worldwide locations, with Warp Records sharing social media posts of the images buff.ly/zMLwCBk

There are few greater betrayals then that experienced by a Brit raised on American 80s pop culture finally discovering what Hersheys actually tastes like.

god grant me the audacity of a Catholic convert sincerely telling the Pope he’s wrong about theology

The same image can be used in multiple contexts and need to have different alt text in each instance. As Sheri Byrne-Haber points out in this blog post, context is a critical aspect of alt text that many people miss. www.sheribyrnehaber.com/context-is-t...
