The Gender Recognition map of Europe. This is how bad the UK is now. 43rd out of 49. Down with Russia, Hungary, Albania, Slovakia, Bulgaria, Georgia and Azerbaijan. Worse than Turkey, Serbia and Belarus. A lot worse than Ukraine, and Ukraine has been at war for four years.

At Bearded Theory last week I managed to capture a Crab attacking Kae Tempest on camera. #CrabAttack

Chrome shipped an LLM Prompt API to the web platform. At Mozilla, we oppose this API. Here's why:

This weekend was a weekend of support for Palestine. Lee thompson from Madness had a t-shirt that read: “You don’t need to be a Muslim to stand up for Palestine you just need to be human” 1/2

I am currently witnessing Rave Riverdance to David Holmes Freaking amazing!

Suing an accuser for breaking an NDA: 1) is a tacit admission of guilt 2) a terrible PR move 3) makes complete sense if you're trying to deter your other victims from coming forward

When we took office, NYC had a $12B deficit. Today it’s zero. And we didn’t close that gap on the backs of working people. We closed it while funding parks, libraries, safer streets, & public housing. Call it Pothole Politics or Democratic Socialism: We are government that delivers for the people.

Well this is disgraceful www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Imagine having a ticket for something that may get cancelled at the last minute or being one of the organisers of the event or being one of the other acts performing. It was already proven in court that Bob Vylan did no wrong at Glastonbury.

While Keir Starmer sits in the Cabinet Meeting with his fingers in his ears @kneecapceol.bsky.social have a perfect response: song.link/i/1862223590 #FuckKeirStarmer

I feel that BruceLab should become a major supporter of all UK Conferences so: > Humans CAN focus on uniquely: conference attendance

Just look at how many people voted last Thursday in Canning Town South. There was almost more candidates than voters. Adding up all the votes is not how many people voted as you get to vote for 3 candidates in this ward en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2026_Ne...

Yes please! Have your own website, #indieweb Meet people in person create #community Build local services that are not powered by ads or stealing peoples data

We're hiring another design advocate - apply.workable.com/zeroheight/j... If you're looking for a role where you get to write about design systems, talk about design systems, tinker with design systems stuff, and team up with other companies to do some cool shit around AI and design systems... 👀

I posted this over the weekend incase you missed it #MentalHealth #School #Teachers #Therapy #Dyslexia

Frustrated with the election pundits talking as if votes only 'swing' from one party to another. I did some analysis of the results, and my modelling (based on votes only, not polls) suggests that the largest movement since 2024 local elections (by a long way) is from 'Did Not Vote' -> Reform

Why would you even want one of these?

JK Rowling is now represented by a trans person in the Scottish parliament. Absolutely incredible.

I have written a long piece called I'm an Idiot letorey.co.uk/thoughts/i-a... I'm not an idiot I know that. It's long probably full of mistakes but that is not important I can correct them. Please have a read and let me know what you think. #MentalHealth #School #Teachers #Therapy

When Starmer goes, we have to ensure his entire cabinet of toxic rightwing bigots goes with him.

The album that is currently at Number 2 in the UK charts has a track with the lyrics: > You think we'd move on and forget what happened? Nah, fuck Keir Starmer @kneecapceol.bsky.social Time to go Keir Starmer If everyone streams this all week then it’ll be #1 music.apple.com/gb/album/lia...

I’ll just leave this here for now. viewportconf.org #web #conference
