Saw this ad for a goat on Facebook. It’s perhaps the greatest advert I’ve ever read. It’s just superb.

I have such an expertly curated algorithm that I'm seeing posts from Mexican street food restaurants in the US and this is how they're advertising the game tomorrow night. "Good vibes"

For the past 6 years, I’ve been working on developer education full time, on my online courses + blog. It’s been an incredible privilege to be able to focus on this stuff. ✨ I’m starting to wonder, though, whether the business model I’ve chosen is sustainable. Let me explain… 🧵

Why not spend some time this afternoon ingesting the very best* of the past week's internet? THERE IS NO REASON. Web Curios! webcurios.co.uk/webcurios-03... *Ok, fine, maybe not the 'best' but certainly a massive amount of it

This agency picture of Jimmy Savile dressed as a lion-bear while surrounded by uncomfortable / hysterical children is what Britain sees when it peers in a door in the Overlook Hotel in one of its regular nightmares.

Just loaded a daily game I occasionally play in a browser without an adblocker and... OOF. I don’t begrudge them trying to make some money, but I know how much those terrible spammy ads bring in, you plaster them all over your site then get shockingly little for all that mess

This year is the 30th anniversary of my production INDEPENDENCE DAY UK on BBC Radio 1. With the success of our DC and Marvel “Audio Movies”, 20th Century Fox asked if I’d make a “British version of the upcoming Roland Emmerich & Dean Devlin movie”, and R1 Controller Matthew Bannister was up for it.

Did you hear about the DC July 4 fireworks show? It promises 850,000 fireworks in 40 minutes. That's 354 per second. You'll miss up to 142 of them every time you blink.

That's the thing i worry we've lost since Brexit, the vibe of being the closest European equivalent to NYC, the sprawling multicultural place people are drawn to from all over to adopt it as part of themselves. Now it's just a place where things cost more yet are somehow also shit.

Head of the EHRC really did just say Phrenology will help solve the issue of transgenders in society

It’s a tricky time to be someone who’s kind of uncertain/pragmatic about a lot of tech stuff, must be so much easier to be “all AI is 100% pure evil!” or “OMG AI is the future!"

ok I read the interview in full and notably he does not say that *no* minions worked for Hitler, just that the ones viewers have met so far did not. there is the opportunity to shut this down more explicitly and he does not take it. this is actually the funniest possible way to answer the question

All of these sorts of changes are designed, I believe, to address sites like Temu. And as always, no thought is given to the small businesses they have a much larger effect on.

To mark the demise of Humphrey Smith, here’s the @daveyjones.bsky.social dig at the Sam Smiths chain and their somewhat eccentric / complete nutcase owner Humphrey the other year.

I wrote a tribute to Penelope Keith and her finest creation.

Generally I rather like forms of folk art & people making environments their own – except for those who put padlocks on bridges to symbolise their love.
