Blimey, that counts as a sunset. #NoFilter

Notable how little UK Govt, and specifically the health secretary, have to say about this. No sense that they can shape public behaviour. Very passive.

Thanks to all the charlatans, quacks and fools who've allowed measles to reach my child's secondary school in London

Oh this is splendid. Reminds me of a famous incident from when I was at university when the union events organiser was told to order £500 of smoked salmon for a party. Instead he ordered 500lbs. It had to be delivered in a truck. Everyone ate salmon for weeks

Over on threads someone just use ai;dr and we all need to adopt that right quick

Getting a bit frustrated finding an answer to what I would have thought is a fairly simple question: if I have an *external HDD* formatted as *Android Storage* is there any way I can read it on Windows? It's not recognised if I plug it in, but ofc Windows will recognise an Android phone so ...

And 2... thank you Rafael. Just two 1st edition copies of the zine left available now. I will aim to do a reprint in March but if you specifically like 1st editions... 'One night' www.marcwilson.co.uk/book-print-s...

Says the man who spends most of his time in Monaco and Switzerland.

The Morecambe & Wise Show (11th February 1976). Time for a late breakfast.

Felt like one of those moments where the whole world had hope in their hearts, a spring in their step.

Jonn Elledge @jonnelledge.bsky.social sums up why Starmer is responsible for voters hating him after such a short time:

Even stripped of context this is good advice - googly eyes are always a good thing.

Ah, yes, I have some relationship advice for this couple: buy her some googly eyes.

My brother was in El Paso on 9/11 when all flights were grounded. He and a colleague hired a car and drove home to New York. It took some time.

Life and death in Central Park, as a Red-tailed Hawk goes squirrel hunting! ❤️💔❤️ #Hawks #CentralPark #birding

It’s the 247th anniversary of Admiral Augustus Keppel being acquitted at a court martial, the natural outcome of which obviously was... yes, that’s right: the Honourable Charles James Fox, Member of Parliament for Westminster, got shitfaced and smashed windows in the Admiralty 🧵

If it had been built with the traffic merge flowing along elegant lines drawn using a set of French Curves it would have been no more functional and probably been a lot more expensive. It is fugly, mind.

Pure Partridge.

Happy New Bike Shed delivery day to those that celebrate. Me, that'll be me celebrating :)

Woman in Euston Station: Don’t stress. Woman she’s with: Don’t stress? Don’t stress Rona? We’re at the wrong station, at the wrong time, on the wrong day. Again!

He's more used to driving this through piles of empty cardboard boxes.

First on. If you drive down the train fast enough it's like carrying out an attack run on The Death Star.

Ed “the Eagle” Davey will participate in the Olympic ski jumping

as far as I can understand, everyone now cycles and every bicycle company is now bust road.cc/news/frog-bi...

Evening walk. Still light :) Just saw a kingfisher too.

In good news, a little one was born in Utah🦒 www.sltrib.com/news/2026/01...

My goal as a parent was always to raise better men than me I just received a video from one son of my other son juggling dildos outside the Whipple Building There are many things I could have done better but I can't really argue with the results

Great title. VTOL pax transport been on the cards for fifty years, in fifty years time it still won't be delivered as a viable option for the masses.

Tough day on Facebook. I still don't know what you're supposed to post under a picture of a cousin's newborn baby, but I've learned that it isn't 'Yikes'.

From the 19th century onwards, men and women on both sides of the Atlantic were fascinated by the folk tradition and set out to catalogue songs, first by collating lyrics and annotating tunes, and later via making recordings. In the UK, the major name in the field was Cecil Sharp: bit.ly/4ks0Xin

I have today been informed that, despite personal assurances to the contrary, the Green party have once again used my image and misrepresented my words on a second leaflet circulated in Gorton and Denton ahead of the by-election. I have now lodged an official complaint with the returning officer.

Fascinating.

This website has everything...

To reverse this, technology that has proven staying power Walls Roofs (rooves?) Fire Writing Hand tools The wheel Roads (given certain societal weight) Clothing Weapons (and a tech level appropriate arms race) The plough. Boats (dug out canoe upwards) Fishing (nets and line) Food preservation.

Taking farmland out of production for solar causes uproar, I wonder if this will ellicit similar reactions.

I read a lot of car magazines. At least 50% of the word count on any long term test vehicle are complaints about 'driver aids', user interface design or software faults. All driver distractions. Cars are safer now than ever, but only for the people sat in them.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

The #BirdOfTheDay theme today from @alan678.bsky.social is #posted a bird on a post or fence. The kestrel wants to know what you're looking at pal. #birds #photography

There's a new Grufalo book out later this year, coincidentally my wife ran past Julia Donaldson's house today and she was in her studio working.

can you explain all these gaps on your cv yes that's to show where one word ends and the next one begins

I've said it before but curation of online content will become a thing and people will happily pay for it. Irony would be if someone trained an LLM to only present non-AI results, art, books, music, videos etc. The Real Internet - with all the inherent contradictions that presents.

Checks date. Oh, it's real. *sigh*

I was one of those people. My son, however, has a first in Computer Science, works much nearer the cutting edge of computing than I do and has adopted the mantle of on call family tech support.
