Shit! He’s got a foot like a traction engine. Etc #URUCPV

I am so fricken awesome at Yahtzee.

Evenin’

Increasingly interested when I hear people look at a website and say ‘yeah, that’s a Claude Code site’, and the implications therein - unfinished, unchecked, unthought.

Net migration has almost halved in a year.

So, this is new. EU Waste Ban. No more destroying unsold clothes. As from 19th July 2026, destroying unsold apparel, accessories and shoes will become illegal for large companies as part of the EUs new EcoDesign Regulations. Glad to see they’re doing something about it.

Lyndon Dykes. Ah.

“I just wonder if Adams should have done better” - ah, that old song again. Play the hits, Scotland! #SCOMAR

Every time the commentator says ‘Tillman’…

Every time they cut to ‘famous’ people watching #usaaus, I have no idea who they are. Are they actually, properly famous?

Preparing for decades of #tartanarmy songs based on this… #scotland #worldcup “We’re shipping beer to Boston…” etc etc open.spotify.com/track/7rSERm...

No. Way. Lol. Every company in this space is nothing but scammers. Every single one. Look at this shit. Lol. Why on earth people still believe any of this crap is legit. They're building scanning spas. You cannot possibly be that goddamn stupid to believe in any of this shit as an inevitability

This is a public service announcement: there’s a Faith No More tour in 2027! Dust off your teenagers, fellow 48-year olds!

Happy #sussex day, everyone buttondown.com/artefacts/ar...

Are they going to play the Alan Parsons Project before *every* match then…? #worldcup

The only way to do ‘blanket’ bans for any form of social media is to make platforms wholly responsible for the content they serve.

On the furthest back of all the back-burners - write a sitcom about a constantly U-Turning minister in the government called ‘Leslie Cabinet’. (My hope is that at least one other person gets this, TBH. Niche, even for me.)

Actually, Brexit was a bad idea from the start. You were not betrayed. You just didn't bother to think through the consequences of your choices.

Disappointed for this lad on the OBE announcements list, tbh. #scotland #worldcup youtu.be/HvcxfaQo79s?...

The cutest visitor.

I figured today was probably appropriate to watch The Big Short with the 16yo for the first time…

I remember watching this in 1987 and suddenly my little world made sense. Thanks David youtu.be/ZI8RbdPe4ro?...

The biggest problem with continually calling it ‘the machinery of government’ is that it is entirely the wrong metaphor. It is not a case of changing a few cigs here and there. It’s a living system - complex, emergent - that involves every individual and entity in the UK #r4today

How are people still *joining* Substack?

Helen’s just said “I am the author of all of your pain” as Tuchel was speaking, and I will now never unhear it. #worldcup #england

Some polite reminders I think I 'skeet' every few years - Tell speakers if there is a speaker fee or not upfront, don't make them ask. If you charge for your conference be extra transparent about why there is no fee - When you design a conference, make a fair and transparent speaker fee grid

Not now, five million year-old, 1,200km long Whale necropolis.

Court holds Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews. Seems significant. "A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate 'independent, new, and substantive statements' by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites" the-decoder

Not now, Elon Musk-induced plague of screwworms…

Imagine winning the opportunity to reimagine #doctorwho, but then also having to reverse out of the mystery Rose regeneration…

Still a few tickets available for the Web You Want! Amsterdam, tomorrow, free. See you there! gath.io/2rLRGJ4g91ue... (many exclamation marks, yes, I am excited!!!)

Musk functionally ran the US government for 6 months last year and managed to: increase spending, slash services, kill 100,000s, and help nurture both Ebola & Screwworms. Yet somehow no one mentions this when they talk about the company he is going to take public this week.

this is what consequential journalism looks like

It’s almost like the FIFA Peace Prize meant nothing

I've got three copies of Random in my rucksack today and, ladies and gents, I can tell you *it's a workout*! Order three copies today to improve your fitness. securityblendbooks.com

Kristen Welker may have committed a journalism. 😶

Geopolitics comes at you fast.

Nick Clegg recalls leaving #Meta www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Yes, but *what if* we left it to beavers to make planning decisions..?

One thing that really bugs me is people who go, "AI is here, I don't like it either, but we have to adapt," and then they gleefully post AI stuff. Yeah, you sound really cut up and conflicted about it.
