"It's for the farmers!" Hardly anyone's a farmer! They can just get up earlier if they want! They're not catching a fucking train to get to work!

Hamilton getting 10 secs penalty and Verstappen getting nothing is absolutely the wrong decision from the stewards there

Trebuchet, catapult, and human cannon?

Well done to Asda for failing twice in the last two weeks with their online ordering Last weekend they forgot to deliver some of my order This weekend their payment system isn’t working

Do the producers ask the contestants to deliberately misspell names for the social media coverage..? #CelebrityTraitors #TomDaylee

It isn’t Tom Daley unless he’s showing off his chest #celebrityTraitors

Not naming names because of spoilers, but the image of that third traitor with their cloak over their head but still showing their face is such a funny sight I think I’m gonna LOVE this season! #CelebrityTraitors

Shout out to the person doing a tour (don’t recognise her lanyard) for press soon, asking very loudly what she is and isn’t allowed to say, or if she should play dumb I fucking love Manchester

In fairness when I moved away, the Trafford line was still being built and the Exchange Square stop was brand new

I’m visiting Manchester for a few days and 1. I didn’t realise the Tories were here and boooo 2. I got completely confused with Metrolink and I’m a bad Manc nerd

Big tech is laying off user researchers in droves, because it believes that coercing its customers is more profitable than silly things like "making good products people want to buy." But now the FAFO pendulum is coming around, with Amazon's $2.5B dark pattern settlement and #a11y lawsuits galore.

Visual radio is a skill set that very few people have If you’re throwing cameras up in your podcast studio and uploading the whole show to YouTube, you’re doing it wrong

Unless you have something people want to look at for a long period of time, just record audio. Radio programs were complex without visuals for a long time. Relearn the power of human imagination to fill in the gaps!

It's not a 'Visualised Podcast'. It's a lazy chatshow.

Contrary to popular belief, browser differences are not actually a thing of the past.

Semi-related pro tip: make sure you’re not using the same browser engine as everyone else in your team, developers lie like lying liars when they say they test cross-browser and you will find weird shit sometimes.

Really loved the most recent season of Waterloo Road. Got a gut punch during episode 4, and really hated Jon Richardson’s character (the sign of a really great actor) I only wish BBC treated it more like a soap and made more than about 18 episodes a year

Got my performance review.

Genuine question, but I’m wondering if any HCI researchers have done any research on these touchscreens order points that are in fast food restaurants everywhere Are the genuine rubbish and difficult to use? Is it a quirk of how my brain works? I imagine the designers have only considered profit

Yay me for finally going on Th13teen on my own (thanks single rider queue which skips the anxiety) Both surprised and heartened at the number of people I spoke to who didn’t have the secret element spoiled by their friends #AltonTowers

When I’m in charge, restaurants will be expected to provide photos of their menu items. And they will be banned from fancy language. Is it chicken with extra stuff? Just tell me that And it should be online From an autistic picky eater who’s fed up of eating burgers from the kids menu

It's all fun and games until a cop handles a Tylenol gelcap with no gloves and within seconds their socks are bothering them.

I was thinking yesterday how you would contact TV and radio shows etc using open or publicly owned tech: post, phonecalls, email, SMS Then it moved to Twitter and Instagram and now it’s more and more uncommon to contribute outside of social media Original post: burningboard.net/@Larvitz/115...

Cats say a £22bn investment in Dreamies and new Catnip technologies will boost Britain's economy in the next few years

Damn I now need to eat lots of ice cream and fill my wardrobe with Lucy and Yak clothes

Accidentally triggered Siri with my finger while lovingly saying hello to my cat. Siri said hello back and asked how I was Great. Now AI thinks I’m in love with it.

Originally it was 150 local staff parties but they were rebranded to a single nationalionally recognised staff party to provide listeners with a blend of the best that local and national radio—sorry, staff parties— has to offer

Journalism

If only there wasn’t 17 national stations on bbc sounds that they could use instead

Love Is Blind is just Sexy Beasts on a budget, change my mind

Just finished Yellowjackets s3, and it’s such a big bounce back from s2. It’s probably one of the best seasons so far

The UK government are going to close all immigration hotels because we’ll be helping them settle into proper homes, right? Right??

F1 Dutch GP spoilers Ah damn, hard luck there for Norris, I want him to win the championship and that didn’t help An exciting race this week though

I’m talking to you, promotors for Alan Davies and Nick Mohammed

Edinburgh Fringe promoters fill in your content warning details in the show details challenge. The field is right there.

I’m a nerd so I have favourite radio station jingles. And thanks to YouTube’s algorithm I was fed a bunch of them so that I can share them to you all so you can appreciate Radio 1 circa late 2000s/early 2010s youtu.be/Wyl8qvrMD-0

This is a pretty good bit

Experimental philosophy

Back to school: the time of year where I spend too long and too much in the stationery aisle because of the offers and the shiny things

“Why do we have no photos of young Timmy as a baby? Well it was all because of the Great Drought of 2025 where we all had to pitch in and delete all our data…”

My unpopular driving opinion is if you can tell that the car next to you wants to change lanes to be in front of you, you should slow down and let them go in front of you

the scenario we all feared

Just watched Materialists and which bar do I go to in order to meet Pedro Pascal so he can take me out for expensive romantic meals, please?

This is incredible

[adds to the list of “reasons driving is easier for ND people, but it shouldn’t be”]

Accidentally bought a one way ticket instead of a return and so I now need to buy another one way ticket which turns out to be more expensive than the return Can’t help but feel they deliberately make this the UX, and I’m annoyed
