I'm surprised his replacement isn't the current COO, Steve Wario. www.theverge.com/news/786068/...

Some of these very broad questions on social media, intended to drive engagement and comments, remind me of the Alan Partridge phone-in question "What's the best thing?"

A 557-year-old shrine and a 13-year-old digital transmission tower being best friends, because this is Shitamachi.

@antennapod.org I hadn't checked out Antennapod for a while, but it's fantastic. Love all the customizable options and that it's open source and ad free. Good stuff 👍

I'm a huge fan of Pocketcasts, but I'm also trying out Antennapod and there's a lot of good stuff there too. Lots of customisation options.

Oooh We're playing a tune and we're singing a song With a bing and a bong and a bing

I'm too lazy to start a YouTube channel, so here's a description of a thumbnail for an iPhone review: Man with quizzical shrug-grimmace, next to image of an iPhone. Caption: What were Apple thinking?

"Aye, the sirens," says the lighthouse keeper, picking a bit of tobacco from his beard. "Some nights, when the wind is just so, I swear I can hear 'em singing." "What do they sing?" I prod him. A faraway look in his eyes, he says in a voice barely above a whisper, "Tubthumping."

I always like it when the interviewer seems to have warmth for the interviewer, so I like that Benedict Cumberbatch is an Adam Buxton listener. www.adam-buxton.co.uk/podcasts/82d...

Imagine getting on the train this morning and realising you're on the Ed Sheeran train. Those poor people...

"Absolutely incredible scenes here tonight as Bluesky announce bookmarks..."

This thread is very interesting. I had no idea about Canadian engineering rings.

I think this guy is one of my favourite people on YouTube. He has no idea what he's doing but he works the problem, even if he goes down a few dead ends, and is probably smarter for it by the end. youtu.be/kLntZF5oD8g?...

When are we going to get a Chat GPT mode that can bellow answers in the voice of Brian Blessed?

I really like this article by @craigmod.com. I sometimes feel nostalgic as I'm living it, that one day I might not be in Japan. The things I love most are the mundane, quiet moments. craigmod.com/ridgeline/213/

If Galactus from Fantastic Four met Agent Ross from Black Panther, would Galactus throw his shoe over a building?

My ChatGPT sounds like the coolest girl in school being forced to laugh at my jokes.

This is cool

I've only just found OpenMTP, an app that allows you to browse your android phone contents from a Mac. Just plug and play, and far far better than the useless Android File Transfer.

Exactly this

This aged well.

"Rebecca Young, from Glasgow, was aged just 11 when she came up with the idea, as she “always felt bad” seeing how cold people were sleeping on the streets and wanted to help combat homelessness." www.thenational.scot/news/2538886...

I didn't realize the Hachiko statue was sculpted while Hachiko was still alive, and that, in fact, Hachiko was there at it's unveiling. www.asahi.com/ajw/articles...

Been reading a lot about the term 'clanker' to describe Al and robots. I don't use the term, myself. I prefer 'frakking toaster'.

Per our strategic partnership with Northrop-Grumman, the drone delivering the coffee will be an RQ-4 Global Hawk.

Huzzah! The competition regulator in Japan (an important market for @vivaldi.com) has listened to our feedback on their Mobile Software Competition Act. Real engines on iOS! My chums at Open Web Advocacy (with whom I first spoke to the regulator) have more: open-web-advocacy.org/blog/japan-a...

This Onion story about the White House rose garden being paved over with concrete is a bit on the nose.

Motherfucking wind farms…

Massive earthquake caused a "stratovolcano" to start erupting. I'm not geologist, but that sounds pretty scary.

What the fuck there's a tsunami warning. I'm sitting here doing WFH and next time I check the headlines there are alerts all over the place.

Should we call lizards tinysaur?

YouTube title: here's a realistic day in my life in Tokyo. Translation: Prepare for incoming utter bollocks!

Be a handwritten love letter in a world full of Snapchats.

I don't know, I think the Russia woman living in a cave in India has the right idea.

They can't think of anywhere else to shove Al so they've made Sparknotes?

@vivaldi.com Your pop up that said 'want to say goodbye to Big Tech and help us out at the same time' was pretty effective. Switched it to startpage and didn't know about the anonymous browsing option 👍

Really enjoyed this miniseries, The Divided Dial, about the history of shortwave radio pca.st/episode/aecb...

Barnyard (2006) is a hilariously bad movie, however, the quote that Ben says "A strong man stands up for himself. A stronger man stands up for others." is genuinely one of the best movie quotes of all time. A bloody animated cow said this. And not a good animated one either.

I'm fed up of thumbnails with YouTubers' stupid gurning faces.

Are other social media platforms doing this form of verification? I can't imagine Musk taking this well.
