Me: oooh this is useful, I have colleagues in India and in Dallas Outlook: here you go! It is the same time in both India and in Dallas!

oh my god

It's a small niggle in the grand scheme of things, but a really well-known and heavily visited city is not "mysterious". That is the worst kind of dismal travel-blogging garbage.

Minou thinks you are all fools every day.

He's so nakedly, aggressively corrupt. When he's gone, America is going to have a long, hard look at its institutions to work out how to protect them from someone else like this in the future, because they're clearly not robust enough.

Absolutely glorious sunset earlier from a friend's balcony 😎

I love the *idea* of the river boat but as ever, when I'm on it, I love the experience rather less. It's expensive, smelly, slow, heaving; there's almost nowhere outside to sit and enjoy the trip and the windows are filthy so if you're inside you're not really able to see anything.

"Don't use gerunds in crossheads, human."

This stick is a perfectly reasonable size

Hardware* for the long weekend @raspberrypi.com project has arrived 😁 *Not seen: the NVMe SSD, which is due to arrive at lunchtime, but details, details

this is actually worse than watching bloody Tiktok videos on the tube without headphones because even if you are wearing headphones for the call, you're still going to annoy the fuck out of everyone around you.

If you're on NowTV you can also get HBO Max via that 👇👇

Books on baking banana bread available now 🍌 www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

urgh, I just checked and mine is down ten grand this past month 😑😑

Good evening from The Very Best Cat

Look at this beautiful ginger gentleman who needs a foster home in/near New York 😻😻

fuck offffffffffffffffff yours, Canada

I'm going to Canada in a couple of weeks ... I hope ...

This is not to dunk on Nick, but it's a good example of why I'm convinced most AI sceptics have not actually tried the reasoning models which produce significantly more reliable answers. GPT5.4 Thinking gave a very thorough (and much more likely to be correct) answer:

Brits whose employers use My ePay Window to deliver payslips, are you able to log in to your account? I have just tried and got "please add an email address to this account", but a) I've already got an account and b) if I give it another email, it doesn't send me the activation. I think it's borked.

as an aside, what's with the orthography-busting "tRump" I keep seeing? Is it as shitwitted/stupid as "Tony bLiar"? Is it trying to skip past filters?

🚨BREAKING🚨: TRUMP SAYS HE MUST BE INVOLVED IN SELECTION OF NEXT RADIO 2 BREAKFAST SHOW HOST. THREATENS AIR STRIKES ON BROADCASTING HOUSE.

what is the actual point of car/house alarms? They go off, everyone around grimaces and swears at the noise, nobody takes any steps at all to see if the car/house is in fact being broken into, then it stops. Absolutely pointless, the worst kind of security theatre.

"almost forgiven" sounds pretty optimistic to me. Not sure forgiveness is coming any time this side of the heat death of the universe.

AI people, what do you think of "Humanity's Last Exam", which as far as I can see is a smart branding on a somewhat futile benchmarking exercise?

Oh thank god it's a short week this week

How to secure your favourite chair #AbbeyGuide It can be very annoying to find a favourite spot occupied 1. Try repeated nudging 2. Suggest sharing the chair, when up move into the belly rub position and push usurper off 3. If all else fails, sit beside chair and release your most toxic fart

These idents were absolutely lovely

Daphne is very tired.

this is my borough and it does not fill me with joy: there are already too many arseholes riding these heavy, fast bikes on the pavement and then leaving them blocking the pavements www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The Greens have come a very long way from being a bunch of nice middle aged people who worry about trees and want to ban atomic weapons

Something with sharp teeth (I suspect a fox after the bird food) chomped through the wire on my extremely not cheap Hue festoon lights in the tree and it is a good thing I am vaguely handy with a screwdriver, wire stripper and doohickey to reconnect the damn wires.

I’ve seen this movie. Get into the Soyuz capsule and leave right now.

the mad conceit of #totp is the miming, pretending to be performing live when electric guitars aren't plugged in to anything, singers moving their mouths in approximations of the lyrics. Why on earth did we tolerate it?

hang on, how is I Don't Want To Go To Chelsea 48 years old??? #totp

Right, I'm going in #ForAllMankind

I've given up on umbrellas. I either lose them or never have a brolly with me when it's actually raining, and now buy coats with hoods instead.

dear @bsky.app, please for the love of god make it easier to read a whole thread. I had to click several times to read all of the posts in a thread, and now I have to click back the same number of times to return to the timeline feed. You should be able to call up an entire thread with 1 click

Failed to keep a sharp enough eye on my bread dough and now it's pretty much climbing out of the tin and about to mount a hostile takeover bid for the kitchen 😬

"sorry we missed you!" says the courier when I've been here all bloody afternoon

Perhaps before we start trying 'fix' teenagers phone use we could pause and look at everything they have to engage with that requires it.

BMA staff being on strike because the BMA offered them below inflation pay rises for all their work supporting BMA members in their own industrial action may be the most BMA thing ever to happen

How hard would it be for the train dude just to simply say: "The destruction of the Hatzola ambulances was a hate crime designed to cause fear and I abhor it and stand with the Jewish community that was targeted"? Clearly far too hard 🙄

Well, isn't that nice, the Green Party worked with a producer to make a heartwarming film about standing up against bigotr-aaaaaaand there it is

Happy #ForAllMankind Day to those who celebrate! tv.apple.com/gb/show/for-...

Surely I’m not the only one who thinks this whenever they see a map of The Strait Of Hormuz on the news?

Apple must be getting slammed right now with the age verification thing, this is what a customer support person said to Matt 👇

read this as "loses shit" and that wouldn't have been wrong or mad

ok, age verification for Apple in the UK looks ridiculously constrained: no debit cards, no passports, only a credit card, a driving licence or maybe if you've had an Apple account long enough for Apple to think you're over 18. I don't have a credit card or a driving licence; I'd be stuffed.

Oh lawd, she bombin’
