Stop Sending Me Calendar Invites To External Events Without Me Agreeing To Them I will block you.

“As the airplane took off, Epstein started touching me forcibly in between my legs, and I freaked out. I realized, this is not a modeling opportunity, I've been kidnapped. They whisked me away to the island. I was stuck there. They never arranged any modeling opportunities, I was completely conned."

I'm watching Hackers.

Where have cutlery skills gone? Nobody under the age of 50 seems capable of using a knife to cut food properly. You're not supposed to just plunge the knife into your food, then tear it apart with your fork. Hold the food with the fork and "seesaw" your knife.

All people at my work place do is complain about the parking, it's relentless. But suggest they use the free bus, or cycle, or walk and it's instantly shouted down as a stupid suggestion which will never fix the issue. I know people who can see the site from their house, and still drive.

When the hospital estates team need to close a section of carpark for a weekend, we get multiple all-staff emails informing and reminding us. When they close a busy secure bike shed with capacity for 100 bikes, that's frequently full, we get this the day before:

/opens eyes....looks at weather. "Bob, you're in charge today"

Shaddap You Face by Joe Dolce doesn't get the credit it deserves. A number one single in 12 different countries in the days when you had to shift a lot of physical copies is a real achievement, much as it is popular to sneer at it because it wasn't cool.

Browns has been a great, DIY shop for as long as I've lived in Leigh. The Browns are a lovely couple who have experienced tragedy in their lives but they kept going. I disagree with their reason for closing down, we have a screwfix and toolstation. That's why. www.wigantoday.net/business/a-w...

“Your guy is late.” “It’s only been five minutes, chill.” "Something doesn't feel right." “Everything’s fine, Dave.” "You sure this is the spot?" "Yes." "And you know this guy is cool?" "Yes, just relax." "Don't give him the money until-" "Until I see the kibble, yes I know."

For those of you who like cats and the Winter Olympics

Let me just make a few little adjustments to that title… “How a scientist with a PhD in Geology and 25 years of experience is helping lead California’s earthquake work” Way to devalue my experience.

Revealed: The true toll of female suicides in UK with domestic abuse at their core

Jacket potatoes, fried leeks, blue cheese, baked beans. Heavy on the seasoning.

At the moment my work is having someone from Microsoft come in to try to teach people how CoPilot works because: A. not enough people are using CoPilot for it to be sustainable B. Generative AI has been hyped and sold as something it is not, and this is the result among the overly credulous.

Ooh, Canyon mudguards are lovely! Snug as you like, dead solid, really easy to take on and off.

I tell you what. Endura kit looks so good. My storm jacket is Endura, had it 5 or 6 years now, it's incredible. Still looks brand new, keeps me warm and dry on even the worst days. Recommended. www.endurasport.com

Great read about Gene Hackman www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Heh. Just watched Borderlands, the film. I'm a big fan of the games and that was a great production. Lots of fun with immediate recognition of the characters. And Cate Blanchette as Lilith. Rarrgh!

Hi viz ✅ Lights ✅

This is blackout poetry to me

No matter how many mass murders are committed by white males you'll never see a public outcry to end healthcare for or abolish the rights of white males. #TransRightsAreHumanRights 🏳️‍⚧️

Or, and hear me out, we could copy the Dutch and have staffed cycle garages at stations. Amsterdam, Utrecht and a much smaller one at Gouda. They are usually free for the first 24 hours *and* house the national cycle hire scheme run by Dutch railways.

Bit grumpy. Nicest day of the year so far and I'm on call. I'm on call 24/7 for cyber but there's three of us for that, this is my other on call so have to stay at home all day.

Fighting age man flees his homeland to seek asylum on overcrowded island.

This woman in Crowborough who took down flags is a hero and I hope she's ok.

I use Amazon as a database to find products which I then buy from independent sellers. I don't mind paying a little more and waiting longer (and it encourages me to be more mindful about consumption). Boycotting Amazon will bring political change if enough of us do it.

TIL, if you uninstall Slop-Notepad on Windows 11 you get Proper Notepad back (not in the start menu, but winkey+R notepad enter works again). And it opens every time too! bsky.app/profile/kevj...

This is fantastic. Look at all my beautiful contacts!

Drop an alien that's not from star wars or star trek.

As far as I can tell, Notepad has not had a vulnerability since 2006. AI to the rescue! And it's an 8.8!

Public reporting deters crime. We urge it for burglary, assault, fraud — so why not road danger?? Reporting helps tackle reckless driving and save lives. The Daily Mail mocking this as “villainy” misses the point. Accountability on our roads protects everyone. www.the-londoner.co.uk/jeremy-vine-...

Pam Bondi has neither integrity nor conscience. She quickly sold her soul to a pedophile rapist grifter called Donald Trump.

Step 1: This person claimed she used Claude to "vibe knit" Step 2: Claude used the tweets in their marketing campaign Sept 3: It's actually just plagiariazing the design of a small knit designer named Miranda's knits

LOL. People are generating their CV's with AI, then HR are using AI to filter the CV's, and no-one is getting hired. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv... Late stage capitalism right there.

The school run …

I'll second this. I've had leather seats in my cars for a long time now but BMW stopped providing them and use this faux leather now which I didn't like at first, but is actually far comfier, nicer to touch and less sticky than leather is.

Every driver to a bicyclist when they realize they almost killed you because they weren’t looking

This is the best thing you'll see

Take that hiviz evangelists. The North East ambulance service is buying white ambulances now to save money as painting them hiviz yellow doesn't make em more visible. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Something compelled me to make this

I’m at an event in Westminster where a certain Andy Burnham has said it it “time to call to an end this era where politics got too close to wealth, too seduced by the notion that deregulated markets would provide the solution, when in fact they have been the problem.”

Utter bollocks as usual. My team and I are more productive at home than we ever were in the office. It really helps work life balance too. Farage is looking out for billionaire office block owners, not the workers who would be forced to return to them.

After years of producing content in the digital space I'm starting a Patreon. It will have both satirical news stories via The Rovélo Record (full stories) and the advocacy content you might expect from Rovélo Creative in this space and of course much more. www.patreon.com/cw/rovelocre...

I never noticed this either.

HAVEN'T THEY SUFFERED ENOUGH?
