Changing the address on my driving licence (finally) was a bit of a palaver, but I've got to say, all those gov services are seamlessly connected 👌

This is just an invasion by any other name. In a just world, Israel would face the same treatment as Russia.

look. is everything more expensive now? yes. but you have to look on the bright side too. now every time you open a computer, it doesn't work

The Win 11 25H2 update keeps messing up my PC. Guess I'll just never update it again.

Sunscreen is wild, like what do you mean the radiant might of a gigantic plasma inferno of a star fueled by the unimaginable power of nuclear fusion is defeated by a ten euro tube of cream

A really important thing to remember in this heat wave is that good insulation also helps keep your house *cool*. We are desperately in need of modern infrastructure in our homes, but the government refuses to properly invest in it.

I was acquainted w Wakefield at uni. A long time ago now but she always seemed like such a good egg, I hope she does well!

To explain the significance of this, Anthropic moved enterprises to token-based billing in Q1 2026. This is at most four months of having to pay the true cost of their token burn and they’re already begging for mercy. AI has a revenue ceiling and an economic mismatch with its customer base.

just saw Obsession (2026) 😬

Took a walk to the royal mail depot and it's already bakin' out there

V grateful to the vinyl gods for the 10 year re-release of this album, I've coveted it since it helped me through a short but intense situationship in like 2019

You must understand: Lily, who works doing data analysis for the University of Bristol and lives in a house share is middle class. Brian, her landlord, who is a self employed plumber declaring around a third of his income is working class.

In practice: the goal is to make it DIFFICULT to identify trans people to target with bathroom bans, and to create many FALSE POSITIVES for businesses. Basically, you might get accused of being trans and kicked out, because of the badge. You say: I wear the badge because trans rights matter.

This has now been added to our website. whatthetrans.com/compilation-...

I found this pretty useful and has some suggestions on organising against the guidance

I know it’s exhausting to do this endlessly but do write to your Labour MP opposing Labour’s bathroom ban. The party does this because it thinks it’s making the problem go away.

“What this analysis shows is that trans people’s wellbeing & public attitudes towards trans people have worsened since 2017, in conjunction with the rise of an organised GC movement.” New analysis by Amnesty International exposes how UK media enable transphobia. media.amnesty.org.uk/documents/Li...

THE CHAFF PROJECT Hi! Are you cis in the UK and you'd like to support trans rights? Great! How: buy a trans flag pin and wear it in public. Why: chaff is an overwhelming amount of false positives so that when a missile gets close to the plane, it hits the chaff and not the plane.

the second patent I worked on was published finally, first author too baybee. not sure it'll ever make it through examination but still proud of it

I appreciate why geese are protective of their goslings but do u think part of their brain is also like 'Yeah I get why you're staring. They are very cute'

I can't find the post from the other day about how Streeting said he'd court the left to gain power then pivot right but

If you need a new horror game and you've not played it I recommend this on Steam btw

HEAD OF TEETH

Project Zero 2 is one of my top games ever made and so far the remake is fantastic. Bizarre how much 'ammo' it gives you though; the age of the survival horror really is over

Because you don't read enough LeGuin.
