There are a staggering amount of conspiracy theories flying around over the under-16 social media ban, and I am begging people to understand existing government identity verification services. 1. You give them too much credit 2. None of it works like that 3. Yes, it really is that bad

Anyone want to buy an email sending company that can't send emails

I really want a version of clippy that pops up with

"Are you the cause of the current deluge of planetaria" asks one of the @emfcamp.bsky.social team

I have been given a "gift"

Devoting the rest of my life to finding and punishing the designer of these temperature controls

One of my communities has a standard practise where members request copies of any x-ray/MRI/CAT scans they have. So we can attempt to assemble one full human from all our scans combined. It's only just occurred to me how weird this is.

The problem with emailing people is that occasionally they say yes and then you're unexpectedly going to a french tech conference on wednesday to watch exactly one session about a technology nobody has ever heard of

I did not achieve everything I needed to achieve today [repeat until heat death of the universe]

This made me go cross-eyed

Life goal: Get a plaque this good

Got this stuck in my head and had to get it out. Just in case someone needs it.

Never upset the graphs department, they will plot against you

Because some people seem to be missing this. If you are attending @emfcamp.bsky.social and want a Spaceagon, or to upgrade your Tildagon from 2024 to a Spaceagon: YOU MUST PRE-ORDER IT NOW. Full details in the blog post: blog.emfcamp.org/2026/05/28/t... #emfcamp #emfcamp2026

The great thing about health wearables is that when you feel terrible you can look at graphs to confirm that you do indeed feel terrible

Shoreditch has been vomited all over by SXSW again and somehow it's even worse than last year

The look on colleagues faces when I explain why I'm taking two months off work is always priceless. "How many people?!"

Introducing the EMF 2026 badge upgrade: Spaceagon. Oh and we made a keyboard too. Surprise! blog.emfcamp.org/2026/05/28/t...

One of the EMF team leads just dialled into a meeting from a hospital bed after falling off a five story building trying to install a mesh network antenna. Unbelievable dedication to the cause.

I refused to believe this was real at first. What are we doing here. "This wooden influencer set brings roleplay fun to children who love creating content" www.argos.co.uk/product/7628...

I am more excited about the badge this year than ever before - the amount of weird hexpansions I've seen people designing to give out at the event is WILD.

In summary, I am just very disappointed

We finally removed the protective covering from our lush, newly grown garden grass, but my partner has banned me from lying on it yet. ALL I WANT TO DO IS LIE ON IT. So green. And I am so hot.

Most enterprise/b2b software sucks because the people building it never actually use it

[deep sigh] After being let down again, I call upon the powers of the network: Does anybody have an inflatable planetarium they would be willing to bring (or lend) to @emfcamp.bsky.social?

The BBC broadcasted footage of my dad running along behind me wearing a mask of my face while I carried the olympic torch

Absolutely flabbergasted at Last.fm finally being independent again after a decade of neglect by CBS. Incredibly exciting. support.last.fm/t/last-fm-is...

Dumbfounded by people I respected launching new things with social links exclusively to X and Insta. Seriously. What are you doing.

Of all the decisions I've made returning to London today was the worst of them. Why not tomorrow Jonty. You idiot.

Rejected The Orb lyrics

Someone in our street whatsapp group has been accidentally "Recording Audio" for almost an hour and I am on edge waiting for the message to drop

Tonight the performer stated "a hole is a circle" and I hate to bring up topology at a rave but

I wonder why this request to return Queen Elizabeth II to the throne using ethical time travel, possibly as demonstrated in a Wonder Woman film, has been rejected

Strongly recommend having a garden full of tiny baby animals learning how to be animals

Stood next to someone recording a voice note that is 15 minutes long and counting. That's not a voice note, that's a podcast.

Honestly mate, neither have I

I need to go to more gigs where the lead singer screams "THIS SONG IS ABOUT CRIPPLING DEPRESSION" and then proceeds to destroy what remains of my eardrums. A+, no notes.

It has been zero days since I got an email about a government department being annoyed with me

Completely forgot about an ebay snipe and was surprised to find that I now own a used geodesic dome

I love that Valve’s Steam controller does the Wilhelm scream if you drop it 😂 what a fun little Easter egg

I wrote this code six years ago, just in case, thinking that it would never happen - I'd never actually need to run it. Best be prepared though. But here I am, running it. Because some people in government are idiots.

Nothing better than sitting in silence paying close attention to everything around you while your tinnitus sounds like an alarm going off

@fkth.bsky.social Was skimming jubensha con posts and I think you were Farrington? If so: Really enjoyed the game, excellent accent, a+ would invite you to come in my box again.

Slightly increase a band. Ten Inch Nails

I just ran an analysis of name bias in the local elections - candidates higher on the ballot tend to do better, and they're ordered by surname. If you remove that absolutely minuscule effect Haringey would have gone Green. But also Waltham Forest would be NOC, and Barnet would be Conservative.

Spent the evening pretending to be a sentient teddy bear implicated in a poisoning and I've had worse nights

Got caught by a guy outside a pub who I could have sworn was a dealer or trying to mug me, but it turned out he just really wanted me to follow his Instagram account

Failed to get into a basement gig because all the young people filled it up early and instead sat in a pub with excellent beer playing Brian Jonestown Massacre vinyl and oh god I'm old aren't I

If a coffee shop has syrup dispensers it makes bad coffee. I will not be debating this because you are wrong.
