I’m having very strong feelings for/about a root I removed from my baked potato 😳

Every recipe should start with: "Wash the dishes that are already in the sink because you'll need some of those."

I’m sick of strangers disapproving of Bob’s muzzle when we’re out. Unless you know the dog, the owner, the training, the medical history, and the reason for the muzzle, your opinion is probably best kept as an inside thought. Here he is having a horrible time in his muzzle.

The way the entire British media is suddenly discussing 'two tier policing' as if it is a real thing worth seriously debating, rather than the obvious far-right white supremacist fantasy it has always been, is very alarming

Okay, I've cooled down. I'm ready for another heatwave please.

🚀 Elon Musk has shifted focus from SpaceX to UK politics, amplifying far-right voices to his 240mn followers. We found a third of Musk's recent posts focused on the UK, a 10-year high, raising concern about his political influence ahead of a critical by-election. as.ft.com/r/b1cb096a-e...

Doesn't everyone do this?

Of course the American flag actually uses Old Glory Blue rather than swimming pool blue.

Still makes me roar 😂

"A habitable, equal 21st century is materially possible, what stands in the way is not technical impossibility but political choice"

Dear god, why did I decide to become a student again? I'd forgotten about assignment anxiety.

Excellent piece by @stephenkb.bsky.social about the Henry Nowak case and what it does/doesn't show about policing www.ft.com/content/aa94...

this is my kind of company motto right here

Back in my winter PJs

The exploit shows the extreme risk of offloading technical support to AI.

I've put a jumper on 😢

Netflix wiz creates app to slash AI bills, then open sources it

So that’s two of the “Raise the Colours” organisers now charged with violent crimes & a fifth of the 2024 race rioters with domestic abuse. Makes you wonder whether “innocent patriotism” & “protecting women & girls” are just covers for thuggish racism & misogyny?

Morning Sheffield! It's a lovely day for a beer garden. Go to the pub, log some beers here: sheffield.beer/survey/

I'm not sure what's blossomed in the past 24 hours but my hay fever has gone from zero to constant sneezing.

😭

I spent most of yesterday thinking it was Friday so today I get a bonus Friday.

If only all the money that has just gone up in smoke had gone on taxes instead.

It's Sheffield CAMRA's 2026 beer census on Saturday. sheffield.camra.org.uk/2026/04/annu...

I have power! Better make a coffee in case it goes again.

I normally love a good thunder storm but not when it steals both my sleep and my electricity.

Bedroom is still 28°C 🥵

I used to live in that apartment (for some reason the bar in question isn't in shot).

Happy Threads Day from Sheffield, where I’m sure nothing bad is about to happen.

Jealous of Sheffield's rain. Please send.

My bedroom is down to 27°C

In a company with a gender pay gap, trans women are likely to earn as women. So reporting their pay as if it were men's pay will make it look like the pay gap is smaller. Like so many transphobic measures, this just ends up increasing inequality for women. Congratulations Labour!

sorry i missed your wedding but i swallowed wrong and was coughing for a few hours

Froze an ice pack to help the dog cool down. He's scared of it so I'm cool as ice. ❄️

Is there anything longer than waiting for your bread to cool? 🤤🍞

I've just checked the forecast and it looks like I have to get up in five hours to walk the dog.

I’m bored of the “is bluesky an echo chamber” debate, we need a more exciting one: is bluesky an evil haunted carnival?

Verstappen is CHATTY today #F1 #CanadianGP

My dream job: Chilesing

I thought I'd invented a new cocktail but apparently it already exists. It needs a snappy title though. I'd suggest 'The Victoria': gin, mint syrup (I made some this afternoon), couple of cucumber slices, squeeze of lime, and soda.

When you put what was left of your disastrous bitcoin investment into the, admittedly volatile, mini sponge market.

There was a time, not long ago, when peaceful protestors were never sent to jail in the UK But at least 286 people have been locked up for protesting climate breakdown and genocide in recent years It's a fucking scandal

The dog has decided to lay on me. So hot. So very hot.

Much poor policy-making in the UK is down to the idea that the government just can't afford to spend what the UK needs. And often based on the claim that the bond markets would not allow it. @vincentgomez.bsky.social and I have just written about it. 99-percent.org/an-800-pound...

Bluesky needs is own fail whale. Maybe a bufferfly.

Can't think of a better recommendation

Hammock hack: put your cold beer in a thermos travel coffee cup to keep it chilled and add a straw for convenient sipping.

Just had a late lunch of egg mayo sandwich. I made the bread (sourdough) and the mayo but outsourced the egg making to a hen. I hate that modern life has taken away the time to have proper food.

I've just bought a butternut squash from Tesco for £1.50. Checked a receipt for five years ago in 2021, 70p. Wish my salary tracked against butternut squash prices.
