Introduce yourself using only one food you refuse to eat, one movie you'll never watch again, and one song you can't stand. Winter Melon (it's a Chinese thing) Star Wars (though technically, I've never seen it) Anything by Coldplay

Thanks to AI there are not even more people on the internet today who are wrong. xkcd.com/386/

Effing Tesla driver. Parking in a charging bay, no intention of charging (he's the wrong way round) even though there are plenty of parking spaces. Plus, when he left, he turned right against a "no right turn" sign. Are Teslas the new BMWs? #tesla #BadDriving

So far we've visited signal rock view point, with no view, Hagrids Hut with no hut and entered the forbidden forest without a problem. Glencoe is not all as it seems. #Glencoe #Scotland #HarryPotter #FilmLocations

Glencoe Sunset. I walked up the hill a little bit too catch the last of the sunset before the midges caught me. #Glencoe #Conifers #RicohGRiiiX #Sunset

Glencoe sunshine. There was a time when I would have interpreted "Glencoe sunshine" as a euphemism for rain. Not today. #Glencoe #Sunshine #Rays #RicohGRiiiX

I lived in China for over 15 years, so using a VPN was an inconvenient fact of life. I didn't expect to be dusting off that tool again, less than a year after returning to the UK.

FFS Google. Using AI to categorize movies now? #GoogleTV #AI #Slop

UK home products store "the Range" has it's Halloween displays set up already. #unbelievable

A blog post about my tinkering with a #RaspberryPi Zero. Written with tongue in cheek, so it's not to be taken entirely seriously. (It's all true, though!) revrichard.github.io/2025/07/15/d...

It's hilarious that they genuinely don't seem to understand the difference between "the entire body of scientific research into quantum physics" and "what I've kind of passively absorbed through pop culture over the past twenty years"

After the Pub Crawl. We may need to have some coffee to aid our recovery. How better to find a coffee shop than Cafe Moi. glenelg.io/cafemoi #Just4Fun #Coffee

I made a thing. Based on a site I read about in Tom Scott's newsletter this week, I decided to build on that code and create the UK Pub Crawler. You can try it here at glenelg.io/pubcrawl The original Steak Bake Spider, for finding branches of Greggs is here. alastairrae.github.io/steakbakespi...

The more I think about Apple's #WWDC keynote, the more I think that Craig Federighi's part was totally AI generated. Prove me wrong #Apple #WWDC #AI #GenAI #UncannyValley

A few weeks ago @openvibe.social added persistence, so it always starts up where you left off in the timelines. This is great, but it really needs to have a cut off point or a switch. If I don't open the app for a few days, I really don't want to scroll all the way through multiple days of posts.

First time I’ve felt like painting since the election. #bloomscrolling #watercolor

Taking advantage of new freedoms to have a swift pint. Those who know, know. Apologies to those who I could have mentioned it to, it was a very last minute decision. #Chill #Decompressing

Today's recycling warehouse fire in Rushden, Northamptonshire, clearly visible from Milton Keynes, around 30kms away. #Rushden #Fire #MiltonKeynes #RicohGRiiiX

While I'm on the general subject of "AI," let me just say that it's a real dickheaded maneuver to tell an actual artist that their work "looks like AI." Their work doesn't look like "AI" because they're aping what "AI" does; it looks like "AI" because the "AI" company fucking stole from them.

Daughter has her first GCSE exam right now. I'm nervously waiting in a nearby coffee shop trying to pass the 90 minutes until the exam is finished. #GCSE #Maths

First last resting place of Mary, Queen of Scots in Peterborough Cathedral. Her remains were later transferred to Westminster Abbey in London. #PeterboroughCathedral #MaryQueenOfScots #grave #RicohGRiiiX #Snapseed

Google invited me to test its latest version of Gemini. I did. On my first simple test, it started out ok, and then suddenly switched to Russian for one heading and then back to English. #Fail

I subscribe to one weekly newsletter on #Substack . Yet between those newsletters, I receive up to five unsolicited emails from Substack. Every single week. #SubstackSpam
