Spot the difference! Counterfeit Fx-991EX models have been around for a while but it now appears Fx-991CWs fakes are in circulation too.

Had a go at Mitchell and Webb episode 2. Can't believe they did another Sweary Australians. Two funny sketches: the ABBA one, and the young comedians being rude about the oldies.

Blimey Chris Lowe's looking rough

I just ate a whole bag of ‘Cheeze-Its “Snapped”’ and two minutes later I got an ad on IG for ‘Cheeze-Its “Snapped”’. I did not talk about them or say their name out loud while I was eating them, so it’s possible our phones can now differentiate between the different crunching sounds we make.

Wagamama decide to crash and burn their rewards system. Removing levels removes any incentive for loyalty, and promising “little surprises” is just company speak for “we won’t bother doing anything for anyone“. See Sparks for example.

Exposé in the Telegrqaph of a talking AI chair that claims to be a therapist:

Surprise!

"I'm cancelling your show ... for a week!"

At the auction house where I was unaccountably working last night, Sean Connery came in to pick up a copy of a 1970s Sunday Times magazine that he featured in. He looked much more wizened than I remembered, and was cross that someone had torn out the pages featuring his photo.

Freedom of speech for attacks on journalists. Unusually picking on a man for a change.

When outrage tips over into conspiracy tinfoil

"I'm so rich I have to write to the Financial Times to ask inane questions" It's like Reddit for the Gen X 1%.

Ofc all the people who "cancelled" their Disney+ subscription knew that they would continue to get access to the end of that month, and can now restart it with no hassle at all. Let's hope they Google "restarting Disney+ subscription" because they are idiots. www.cnbc.com/2025/09/22/d...

@adamboxereducation.bsky.social whilst I agree with a lot of the changes in the 2010s it’s a shame to hear NG describe grid method multiplication as a nonsense method. It’s grounded in understanding the structure of the maths and is based on an area model - the most concrete example we have.

What?? Banned from driving for 6 months just for not going at 20mph?? Oh.

Farage: "All over the world, you apply for a work visa - that visa is for you. Not to bring your family... That is how a normal work visa works." Entirely untrue. Most work visas allow dependents, including in countries that the UK competes with for labour - US, Canada, Australia and 27 EU states.

Okay I wrote up my trip to the WORLD TRAMDRIVER CHAMPIONSHIPS buttondown.com/holly/archiv... cannot stress enough how much this newsletter issue is just a list of things that happened at the world tramdriver championships, please use your own judgement regarding whether that is of interest to you

Happy September Equinox! www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/lo9jl... Now the rate at which the days are getting shorter is decreasing You can use second derivatives, trig graphs, cumulative frequency graphs, and (if they know it) the Normal Distribution to get your point across

Reform are now coming after people with permanent residency. It'll be citizens next. No one is safe from authoritarian governments.

Four spam bot follows in one evening. Bluesky is the new Twitter.

Reform pledges that those who currently have settled status would be forced to repeatedly reapply for a new five-year temporary visa. #TellYourSettledFriends www.thetimes.com/uk/politics/...

Imagine trying to take the minutes at these meetings, not being able to hear what anybody was saying.

People who search Google for “canelling Disney+“ instead of going to Disney+ and cancelling, are worse than the people who google Wikipedia to find Wikipedia

In news you didn't know, an umbrella organisation for the Church of England that carries out DBS checks on volunteers has been hacked. Information stolen includes PASSPORT DETAILS and HOW OFTEN THEY PRAY TO GOD. winchester.anglican.org/data-breach-...

Hey @cantabkitty.bsky.social thanks for the tip! Scriptum stationers on Turl Street in Oxford, a Wonderland of notebooks, inks, marbled papers and cards

Woohoo! I’m driving the bus in Oxford! #GaudyNight

I reply to @nicolawoolcock.bsky.social's misrepresentation of not reaching grade 4 in GCSE. Say if you'd like to read the full article - it's really about a new AQA online qualification of numeracy skills - but it's NOT a GCSE. The Government will NOT accept it.

This Onion story is a little too on the nose.

I’m here at #IKEA Reading, with some of the saddest people in the world, who have dashed over on a Friday evening to pick up a limited edition selection of tableware. These are my people.

Fabulous conversation at nursery pickup. Other Parent, looking tired: Is Ivor singing “I’m Still Standing” at home? Me: Er, no? OP: Mine is. Constantly. Me: Could be worse? [Child in question emerges from nursery, runs to parent] Child: “I’M STILL STANDING YEAH YEAH YEAH” OP: *rolls eyes*

the obvious explanation for this is that until at least 1260 BC, the people of the outer hebrides lived for several hundred years and that their heads were interchangeable, much like lego figurines. the real mysteries are when they lost these abilities and how we can help them get them back

Maybe he's coming back to Lady Margaret Hall!!
