Hmm, maybe this cow would be a better fit for American president.

"Gobshite Tennis" is now my new favourite term. Also: they always looks so bloody smug don't they.

My god the train crash in Spain, my hear breaks for those families. 🇪🇸

The things I can never understand - there are people of non-white descent, possibly first generation immigrants, working for ICE. Is it just because they think it shields them from their wrath? You can bet their white colleagues are talking shit about them, they'll be next.

The Pitt season 2 is coming in hard with criticism of AI in healthcare and I’m all here for it. If anyone asked me the number one wish for the NHS in the UK at the moment would be to remove Palantir from every facet of it. Truly evil company.

"AI, AI, AI, AI?, AI! AI" Fuck me it's exhausting.

There's always _something_ that comes along to slow your day down in ways you didn't think was possible, even the most heavily tested tech isn't perfect. Yesterday - Singlestore no longer works in Orbstack as of engine version 9.0+ Today - 1Password is not prompting for my passkeys in arc.

Reminds me of a line someone dropped when I was deliberating on Jury duty: "Well, I'm a mother, so i think I know a little bit more about abusing children than you do."

the European mission to Greenland was fourth in the BBC news running order this morning, which feels a bit like doing a light "and finally..." item about the archduke's motorcade taking a wrong turn in Sarajevo

Noem prob wrote this herself.

I see the UK is not on this list yet. Bloody cowards.

I think an important part of this is: If you follow Laravel creators on X: If they're using it to make money, encourage them to move away and use other avenues to make that money like Patreon. I'd subscribe a to a bunch instantly. Post about other Laravel, and dev communities you know about.

Said my piece on X in the Laravel subreddit, I really hope we can start migrating away as a community and it was so good to see so MANY people calling it out for what it is already in the comments.

wrote some things I've been thinking about ai ... and it ended up feeling very personal roe.dev/blog/the-go...

Whipped up a quick script that converts a PHPUnit / Pest JUnit.xml output to a nice readable and filterable HTML file of your passes, skips and failures. gist.github.com/danmatthews/...

That is misleading as shit.

Snorted tea out my nose at this one.

Gross.

All that money and Anthropic can't stop their mac desktop app from using 168% CPU.

How is it 2026 and Github still doesn't have stacked PR support built in 😬

Ooh this just reminded me to look into pulling Bluesky posts into my blog, now that we're not beholden to the shite X API terms any more.

Every now and then, this pops up on my facebook memories. My first website, and a printout of it no less (because the Uni would not accept a URL as the submission 🤦‍♂️).

A DECADE?!

What an arsehole, came up here to draw a cock 'n balls over my city then buggers off home smh.

Eurofighter endlessly circling us for some reason...

Would it be too much to ask for political parties to have to focus on policies that better the country, rather than focusing on policies for re-election? If you make lasting change, that people don't want rid of, that works. People won't want to vote in people who will immediately reverse it.

Was previously using Imgur for images for my blog because I didn't want image files in my git repo. But now it's banned in the UK 🤦‍♂️ "Vibe coded" a nice little Laravel app that I might wrap up using @nativephp.com as a desktop app - it just uploads the images to Cloudflare R2 and shows the MD code

Replacing a Sonos with an Alexa because I am so sick of their GD app. I just wanna be able to say "Play Radio 6" or whatever and be done with it, their app fails to open like 2/3 times.

Bit of a different one for Sunday evening: a round up of some of my favourite hobby tools and paints i've found while i've been picking miniature painting back up this year. danmatthews.me/posts/favour...

LETS GOOOOO

So, is this to assist the revolution and install a regime friendly to US oil companies? That's the only reason I can assume he cares.

Started "The Chair Company" last night and it was just one long "I think you should leave" sketch. And i'm totally okay with that.

X account finally fully deleted, i'd been holding onto my username as i'd had it since it's earliest days (fond memories, Twitter got me my first job and made me so many friends), but no more.

“Grok is now behind a paywall” So you’re telling me you have verified financial data and addresses for everyone that has done paedo shit eh? 🚨

This guy is my favourite. "I cannot abide useless people."

Can we stop fighting the same battle against fascism every 100 years so we can FINALLY get some science to adapt these things for humans, i get so tired of cleaning my glasses. phys.org/news/2026-01...

“You know what chain of command is?” “It’s the chain I go get and beat you with until you understand who’s in ruttin’ command here”

Started rewatching Firefly, got goosebumps when the theme tune came on. Forgot how much I love this gorram show.

Depressing that I log into twitter to delete my account and immediately see a massive Laravel presence there compared to here. People supporting CSAM and fascist billionaires because they don’t wanna lose their payouts or reach statistics.

I hope, if the US survives this mess, that they re-examine the constitution, because the second amendment clearly didn't work as intended against a tyrannical govt.

Can we just end the world already i'm tired of arguing with idiots. Let entropy have it's way.

Be great if you could ask her during an investigation. Arresting her would at least have meant she was still alive.

"We don't like these paedos but we ain't going to ban the tool outright because that might anger the billionaire class". Let's see if X do anything to curb this, i bloody doubt it. Ever since they introduced the concept of a "NSFW" mode you could tell this was gonna be the outcome.

Our local newspaper will turn off the comments under stories about local businesses, but when i posts mention racially charged crimes they leave them freely open to allow people to post the most heinously racist shit.

LETS FUCKING GO

It's taken me three days to get through one of my favourite podcasts' new episodes because all they do now is talk about AI and it's becoming a bit boring unfortunately 😔

Painted up a trench crusade mini for a change tonight. Didn’t turn out how I wanted, might re-do the base, but still looks alright.
