Further evidence the net zero economy is one of the few parts of the economy that is booming. Truly insane that now is the time politicians start attacking one of the only sources of growth for UK businesses. www.businessgreen.com/news/4530440...

I notice Farage's tactic now is hit & run communications. He wants to project with almost no time for questions, for the obvious reason that he's likely bang-to-rights on the largest cash for favours scandal that British politics has ever seen.

New Robert'); DROP TABLE Students;-- Roberts just dropped.

This should legit be the re-rebrand.

Nice to know in an age of agentic systems I can still break websites like it's 2010. I still got it.

Long term I just don’t get how huge investment in data centers makes any sense giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

For 5 minutes I just watched with fascination around 20 cars ignore road closed, diversion signs and large gating across the entire road. To then have to awkwardly turn around each time. Even after telling a couple of them the road is closed. Quite a thing to behold.

Thanks Nicola now I’ve got the A-team theme tune stuck in my head.

Live equidistant between Arsenal and Spurs. I think it’s safe to say though this is now a thoroughly Arsenal area going by the level of visible support.

Tried 4.8 Claude on my core framework. Still tried to cache a **772-byte** jpeg. LLMs love a cache. NO. But it did catch a per-render HTTP loopback - the server fetching its own local images over HTTPS. ~21 ms → 85 µs. FINE.

if we make it to $100K before the campaign ends today I will shave my beard off on a livestream build.awesome.me

The oldest Gen X are around 60 now, and we're already talking about scrapping the triple lock. It's complex, I know - but so many of the structures that enabled social mobility & care are being stripped away as we came of age: student grants, final salary pensions, graduate recruitment schemes.

As someone that's been reviewing my orgs data protection policy, this would also require a report submitted to the ICO correct? Reform are registered with the ICO: Registration reference: ZB934331. And a director of a UK company (Reform) this does appear to be a breach. ico.org.uk/for-organisa...

Reminder that Widow’s Bay creator Katie Dippold is behind one of the greatest Halloween tweets of all time:

Warming to @andyburnham.bsky.social in response to a 6k word blog post from Tony Blair. “He doesn’t mention inequality once” Nailed it.

Yes. Yeeeeeeeesssssss

Just found out the solar farm I have shares in as part of a co-op might have to shut down for **the rest of the summer** because of works to a sub-station nearby 😢

Did a little refresh of my portfolio site to bring it in line with my overarching style guide: richholman.com Decided to go with a markdown motif

Ah, I see Tony Blair is having some reckons about politics again. In other news Tony Blair's Board of Peace seems to be having a couple of governance problems. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

48 hours left to back Build Awesome Pro at early access pricing. The 'possum hasn't slept, and the countdown is real. www.kickstarter.com/projects/...

Interesting that the idea of another EU referendum is regularly discussed on broascast media as something that would cause division and thus a bad idea. But plans to deport literally millions of people are discussed as administrative questions.

Clooooooouuuuuddddssss Sweet relief from the sun.

This may be the best framing I’ve seen recently for arguments that anything humans do should be okay for AI to do. The difference between AI as a means and humans as the end is meaningful here.

Doing some Data protection stuff with the charity where I am a trustee and help with the IT side of things. It’s a really dense area, I’ve been doing this for years - it takes a lot domain knowledge/systems understanding to get something representative of the reality. LLMs can advise but not write.

Again, Idiocracy is 479 years ahead of schedule.

Right now, there are probably dozens of tech journalists staring at a 42k-word papal blog post on AI, a looming deadline, and a very Sophie’s Choice.

Ceasefire, really really think bombing is not part of a 'cease' - 'fire'. Wonder why the peace negotiations are going so badly?

this little article is sixteen years old today: alistapart.com/article/resp... feels deeply weird that it’s that old. the pub date feels like it’s two lifetimes ago and two weeks ago, all at the same time.

Emirates stadium tonight. Vibes.

Why do I only ever seem to see the discourse about the discourse?

Only just clocked that @andyburnham.bsky.social is on here. Good to see leading Labour voices actually on platforms where a lot of progressives moved to from Twitter/X. Often feels like we get forgotten about/ignored just because we chose to move away from a space that exists to amplify the right.

Went to see ‘Cazenove Ward Stories’ a film by Winstan Whitter & Niti Acharya today at the Rio cinema. Awesome film about the area I live in, some amazing community story telling and history surfacing.

Google fixed the disregard snafu but now all the results are about the snafu.

Wrote some CSS and HTML today. And it was - just lovely - my IDE has only light autocomplete (completion suggestions) so driven my me only and it’s a joy to use. In a time of LLMs generating a 1000 lines of code a minute did feel little like shaping a block of fine wood.

When the Russian asset resigns it must be *real bad*

Wordpress 7.0 dropped this week with the PHP AI client shipping in core. I played around with connecting to local LLMs (i.e. models on my machine not on the cloud) via Ollama to see what is possible. It was quite capable for small tasks: dgw.ltd/2026/05/18/l...

A little redesign of a my portfolio site for a Friday deploy. Why shouldn't I?

🚨 One week left! 🚨 $77K raised 🤯 Build Awesome Pro brings in-browser editing, live collaboration, and quick site updates without spinning up your whole dev environment. Early bird pricing disappears when the campaign ends 👀 www.kickstarter.com/projects/fon...

Btw. I am building a Dyson sphere. Plz give me 1 trillion. Details to follow. Don’t @ me. giftarticle.ft.com/giftarticle/...

Congrats to @wordpress.org & @pfefferle.org for shipping the first 1.0.0 version of an Atmosphere plugin for WordPress. WordPress posts are published as microblog posts as well as @standard.site long form posts. Read all the other features in the blog post

There’s a github inside github? A gitsception? How do you commit to an internal repo? ‘git push push’?

Pretty much all of my searches these days are “Search term” + Reddit Google has degraded the experience. I now am a ninja at scrolling passed sponsored results. New Google is just vibe results. Is it based on any data at all? Or just sponsored rekons. www.theverge.com/tech/934585/...

So the relaxing Russia oil sanctions and forcing supermarkets to price cap lasted less than a day. These really are the last days of a government that really doesn’t seem to get the simple stuff right.

This post really is as good as others have said. Wow www.baldurbjarnason.com/2026/the-old...

How do you make a mistake about ‘loosening Russian sanctions’ ffs.

I thought living in a real life Paul Verhoeven movie would at least be funnier

A website that gradually decays the more you use it I rebuilt another 2000s web classic: the Requiem for a Dream site by Hi-ReS! - a landmark of of experimental web design. In an era of increasing stylistic convergence, it's a reminder of what the web was once capable of requiemforadream.dowu.uk

Me being hit by a missile: But you only had 18% missile.

This guide for Figma on how to integrate Claude Code or similar into workflows suggests no-one is going to do that help.figma.com/hc/en-us/art... The first step is 'install an MCP' (via the command line) If the last 15 years has been 'should designers learn HTML' So now 'open up terminal'. Nope.

We’re only ‘not allowed’ to go over the Brexit debates because the Brexiters were wrong on approximately 95% of them.
