This is interesting because when I went for my first Covid vaccination, Farage arrived and pushed straight to the front of the queue.

Jeez. I misclicked one thing and now all the recommendations on Amazon when I go to buy bulk cat food are “Christian Gifts for Christian Women” My cats aren’t even confirmed.

I was on a field trip to London from university and, as we got on the coach back, the driver tuned the TV at the front in for the last episode - we didn’t set off until it was over. Just sat there in a parking bay watching it

Rewatching The Amazing World of Gumball and it’s just so good.

In "celebration" of thr Pepto Bismol ad now being on the radio, I took some popular radio-friendly songs and added the "Diarrhea" guy.

Remoted into a computer in a client’s marketing suite to sort out a dhcp config problem, rebooted it and all the computers there suddenly go offline. Slight panic. Ring client to discover they have a power cut. Just really scary timing…

Ha. I have no idea what -7C “feels like” so I’ve got you there, weather app.

Cat is cooking her brains to prepare for another day of idiocy

Broke two toes bottle feeding the twins. Was pacing up and down to settle them and turned around to look out the window. Sharp pain. Xray next morning confirmed the damage

My CMS called M87 has just one PHP class called M87 with static properties/methods, but also used for dynamic M87 objects. There’s one global variable called $M87 containing a function with a parameter called $M87. The database, M87.sqlite, has a single table called M87.

people are saying this is rare, unknown, or obscure but i am pretty sure it's obscura

I think my oven is coming on to me

*** New blog post *** An LTN in Islington will generate 1.4 million extra driven miles each year. Except that it's a non-story. Plus, I get to dig out an old thread because it's not the first time people have tried this "analysis". therantyhighwayman.blogspot.com/2026/01/its-...

*slide whistle* *comedy BOOIIINNGG sound*

I am as confused as everyone else but have come to the confident conclusion that Brine, embarrassed by Lillian dissing his new aftershave (Chanel Novichok), chucked the half-used bottle into a hedge and accidentally hit a passing George on the head #TheArchers

Yours, Lance.

on the one hand america does some pretty bad stuff but on the other hand they do make brilliant movies like tron ares

At this difficult time please think of the true victims, The UK Government and Labour Party MPs scared of losing the whip who now have to find a way to comment on the U.S. launching an unprovoked war without upsetting the only basket they have all their eggs in.

One thing I do not want to see this year is *anyone* anthropomorphising AI. It's not Grok doing it, it is the owner of Grok who is responsible. Letting the machine take the blame is is dangerous (AI doesn't kill people, people do). (yes- it is the gun argument). Also, AI does not 'think' FFS

Might have to send something to render on the renderfarm as it’s freezing here in the office.

Disappointed I didn’t get to cycle to work in the snow this morning. Cycling on fresh snow is glorious.

In what's now become an annual tradition, I've written another piece for The Gist about how and why I hate A.I. On a bubble about to burst, a future rotted to its core, and the limits of the Mrs Doyle Theory of artificial intelligence. www.thegist.ie/guest-gist-2...

Are footnotes a genre on their own? Pterry used them for extra laughs, and this one from @alicefraser.bsky.social is just lovely. Infinite Jest needs 2 bookmarks* as the footnotes are so long and have their own footnotes. XKCD’s alt text is basically a comic footnote. *or throwing away, you decide.

Not sure why wetransfer is doing a wrapped style recap, but nice to see we are a top 1% user and transferred 3TB last year.

what’s everyone getting sworn in on? i’m going with the apple human interface guidelines (HIG)

“You’re born with your family and you’re stuck with them” uh nope I was born with an appendix too and that shit is in a dumpster

Take a screenshot of this GIF, and whichever new word you land on is YOUR SwearSky word for 2026.

Poured this as carefully as I could and it’s still got quite a head on it

Boasting about hanging around by the bogs, presumably mostly being accosted by people coming out saying that one of the cubicles is blocked and there's shite everywhere because no one in real life knows what the fuck these people are on about.

Set out six months ago to investigative some dubious evictions. Ended up writing a sprawling story spread over 450 years about London property deals, the ethics of money lending, Tommy Robinson, Barbary pirates, Jacobean earls, and wealth in the capital. www.londoncentric.media/p/henry-smit...

Finished building my lego santa

Horses are born with tentacles that fall off when they’re babies. It’s so they don’t kick their way through their moms when they’re still baking in the horse oven.That’s the origin of the term “horse feathers”. (Horses kinda freak me out so I know all their dirty little secrets)

Customary end of year visit to the tank traps at Tyninghame Beach

Oh boy. You know the special cat food is going to be expensive when one of the images online is an artist’s design sketch of the kibble shape

One year since I posted this. One year since everybody treated it like a joke. One year of watching my back. Tell me: have you seen much of Harry Styles this past year? Tim Davie's gone a bit quiet too, hasn't he?

I think we all know who's responsible for this

Hate freeloaders who join in the New Year's Eve countdown for the last 10 seconds. I've been doing this all year. Where were you back in May

hmm no actually how do you delete skeets again

I once had the pleasure of sitting next to former President Bill Clinton on a flight to a mutual friend's private island, surprisingly down to earth!

I’ve said this before: I once was sat at a bar waiting for my then girlfriend who was working in the kitchens next to an American bloke. Only afterwards discovered it was a John Malkovich and I’d completely blanked him.
