The Nobel Prize committee should announce the World Cup winner tomorrow

My favourite tradition this time of year. My mom loved a wreath, and this reminds me of her every Christmas. We go and pick one out at the start of the season. Bring on December! #christmas #wreath #chelsea #london​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We are attempting to dial down the amount of (healthy freeze dried chicken/shrimp) treats we are giving the cats. There’s the air of Bastille Day about.

Is this cheese grater conscious? Many users feel they're talking to a real person. Scientists say it's time to consider whether they're onto something.

If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

A 24 hour break we really needed, and of course for me a very indulgent #espresso ☕️ :).

The cat is making sure I know it’s gotten cold today in London. #catsofbluesky #ukcold

WeRateDogs turns 10 years old today! A very silly idea to numerically objectify dogs has become one of the kindest and most powerful online communities ever. Thank you for joining us over the last decade. I never knew what this could be until you all showed me. Here's to many more good dogs ❤️

This version of Superman’s battle in Smallville may be one of the best scenes in all the franchise.

This isn’t even the stuff they’re trying to actually stop from getting out.

This perfectly encapsulates how I feel living in the US. The republican party is an insane death cult, the democratic party is 3 corporations in a trench coat, and the "socialists" are just the completely normal left-wing capitalists you'd find in any of 2 dozen European nations.

what could be a more fundamentally American story: immigrant son of a city earning its trust learning its deepest needs rising to the challenge of its defense His message borne by every kind of person, a diverse community coming together with a shared voice, a shared purpose You do not tear up?

Victory is the best argument

My favourite time of year. #london #autumn #chelsea

The China Syndrome is on TV, forgot how scary this movie is. No wonder we didn’t build nuclear power plants for thirty years.

Good evening once again #Athens 🇬🇷

We’ve been growing our business in Greece a lot lately (acquisition and organic). There’s so much I appreciate about the relationship based approach to business here and its long term nature. So many positive flows. Huge thanks to the British Ambassodor and his team in #Athens for hosting us. 🇬🇷 🇬🇧

Something I’m seeing a lot of in news is the merging of product and technology: either CPOs who run technology or explicitly defined joint CTPO roles. These are two distinct (but adjacent) disciplines and there should be a productive tension between them. Hard to do if it’s one person. #npasummit

Again: my perception of the Right at the moment - globally - is if a movement which simply declines to have obligations. Sign a contract, tear it up when payment is due. Sovereign power as the power to welch.

It's clear that there's a specific set of artifacts being held in France that are *required* to fix the time machine that will take us back to the prime timeline. We can only hope they succeed before it's too late.

I get sucked into the big hotel chains just due to scale of travel but in Antwerp I always get a lovely respite from that by staying at the truly unique Hotel Julien. 🇧🇪

# Why did podcasting remain uncentralized? My theory is that we had.. * An indisputable definition of audio. (MP3.) * A simple format for programming. (RSS.) * A popular mobile device for listening. (iPod.) A million flowers bloomed. (Podcast clients.) Impossible to siloize. (They tried.)

Annually a customer invites us to their customer party and it’s in northwestern Germany. It’s a lovely part of the world and I’m appreciative to be included. They throw the party in their own shipyard and they do it up right. #bbcchartering #maritime #shipping #shipyard

I feel sort of sad the #Bluesky bots (and there seems to be a lot more these days) can’t figure out I’m gay, at least a handsome photo would be nice. Also I hope they figure out how to not be overrun with bots here @safety.bsky.app. Welcome random single ladies really into reposting and not crypto.

I wish to unsubscribe from these interesting times.

It strikes me that it’s ’free speech’ & nearly always related to words or writing. It’s never free expression. It’s always about the ‘right’ to attack, or incite hate, against a minority. It’s never to punch up, always down. You don’t see these tulips upset at the media being silenced by Trump…

After Storm Amy, lovely Sunday morning in London (although all we really had was wind).

It’s Kanelbullens Dag, that’s to say, Cinnamon Bun Day in Sweden. And while I mean no disrespect to Norway and Iceland, who also mark this day, it’s Swedish Cinnamon Buns that are #RecipeOfTheDay! www.nigella.com/recipes/swed...

Ready to die on the hill of "social media doesn't have to suck"

Love these autumn sunsets, feels colder out too than it is. I like it.

Why are the Democrats getting blamed for shutting down the USA 🇺🇸 government when they don’t control congress? I don’t understand, are they that bad at politics? #shutdown

The Ryder Cup heckling reminds me of The Hulk. The real character is the one fighting to get out. #RyderCup
