2 eps in & I'm finding The Mighty Nein extremely trying

A tea toned Cyanotype of a curlew. Printed on a fine Japanese paper 🤎

Current status: In the pub having a Sunday Roast

It's not even like novelists earn shed loads of cash. Well done arseholes

Earlier I couldn't recall the name of a local pub so I used Maps. The first 5 results were ads for Edinburgh city centre pubs or the Duke of Wellington, Portobello road LONDON The 6th result was the one I was looking for

Been saying for ages that the translators told us what was coming but they were ignored... I don't think many people respect what they do.

As if on queue, this from @ianbetteridge.com confirms my suspicions The ladder is being pulled up. And yes, it is absolutely cool to be a luddite. www.ianbetteridge.com/ten-blue-lin...

Hey cool photo kids! Let me tell you a story about 'Print Drops'... open.substack.com/pub/synchrom...

My dad died, I was clinically depressed for nearly a decade. I fucked up my degree & somehow fell into information technology. Mostly through diligently working my way up. I'm bright & tech isn't difficult, don't let anyone tell you tech is difficult.

This is an actual demonstration of how Google has thrown away trust

Watching the Arnie version of the Running Man. It's pretty interesting watching this now. The Hunger Games films clearly take a lot of cues from this. Also, how closely the US is like this now.

Why are there posts from accounts I don't follow, that haven't been reposted, in my Following feed? @bsky.app ?

I wish I hadn't read this. Made me feel completely sad. Profiting off the insecurity of parenthood. I'm very sad now www.theguardian.com/world/ng-int...

For reasons various I have just gone down the internet black hole looking at a Jingstax back for RB cameras. Pretty cool idea. It's an adapted SQ40 It's maybe too niche but I can't find any examples images taken with it. jingmountaincameras.com/products/jin...

Good old Woz. Good for him.

While on tour promoting 'Wake Up Dead Man', Rian Johnson goes off on AI for “making everything worse in every single way.” bit.ly/47UBPfH

Exactly where I am. The one limit is the lack of *good* photo editing support. But f---k it, it's time. www.theverge.com/tech/823337/...

That's a no from me www.theverge.com/news/826540/...

I know exactly what these parents are like. If you're a parent you will also know. You meet them every day & in those 'private' WhatsApp groups you're forced into they're always the worst parents. www.theguardian.com/education/ng...

Can confirm

Wow, now that's a thing

This is so sad, all those people dead. And for what? The US hasn't been an exactly constant ally to the Ukrainians but this an awful thing to do. We cannot trust the US now www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I have a first edition BUT IT'S NOT SIGNED

Hello [New] Outlook my old friend You fucked someone's mailbox again Because sync wasn't completing Now her laptop forever seeking The vision of an email that sends to someone else No it's not Within ... a working day. #FML

I'm releasing some fine art prints to keep the ol' Arthurian Quest rolling! The print release will be on Tuesday 25th November, some time in the evening, on my website here: edwardthompson.co.uk/Print-Sales A range of prices and editions, really, something for everyone.

My mum, who is from Stranraer has some choice words about this.

This is also my direct experience. Including the way people are using LLMs to write FOI & SARs. The LLM doesn't understand & crucially neither does the human. This is sandbagging us & others who work in data.

This is a very good essay.

It's pretty clear that we can no longer rely on America as an ally. What a time to be alive. All those lives thrown away on the egos of 2 men

It's clear that America cannot be trusted to be allies. They're acting more like a Russian ally www.theguardian.com/world/2025/n...

I know exactly how Steve Clarke must feel. I remember thinking "If this doesn't pan out, I'm quitting". I wasn't getting supported, coaching wasn't going where I wanted it to go. I'm still #coaching... #sport 1/n www.theguardian.com/football/202...

I detest this timeline. You go to University to learn, in a rich environment surrounded by experts in the field. It's a kind of mentoring. Instead, we've now decided to chimp on that. www.theguardian.com/education/20...

About time. The fact "some might be upset" is completely irrelevant. There's a couple of houses on my street with 3 cars - AND they have a drive way. Why shouldn't they pay for the extra parking?? www.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/edinbur...

This is amazing content. A literal fantasy threesome: Floyd, Borden & Bailey. Chris Floyd is so good at his stories. Absolutely phenomenal. More #ChrisFloyd please! #Photography youtu.be/uEZIIGCdCN0?...

With 9 bank holidays a year, Scotland has less than many other European countries. I'm calling on the Scottish Government to give us a bonus bank holiday for Scotland’s opening world cup match.

This sounded really interesting until I got to the bit about Algos. gizmodo.com/letterboxd-i...

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

Well ... yes. That has been the case for a long long time. You'll be shocked to hear that the people in charge are singularly incapable - incompetent - for this task. They do not understand this stuff. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

I was saying recently that I wanted Stargate SG1 to come back. But I am very much in 2 minds about it being brought back Amazon. gizmodo.com/new-stargate...

Another f*****g email from @atlassian.bsky.social endlessly banging on about AI. Neither I nor my teams are interested in you enshittiftying Jira. I realise you spent your money, I don't need told every 2 minutes. One PM just told me she wants off Jira now. Leave it lads. Thanks.

Some bangers in here today but I want to attract your attention to 2 items specifically. Winter warmers appeal & a *Brian Talbot* signing. edinburghuniform.org/donate/?ref=...

I hope Nigel Farage realises that he's run out of loo roll, while sitting on the toilet.

Colishaw is a Young British Artist (same group as Hirst) so um yeah there's that. I did laugh at the reason it was taken down, people have had their brains put into the blender - much like the 'art'

I hope Nigel Farage steps in a puddle which is a lot deeper than he expected.

I'd like to boogie too
