The collection of @willsh.bsky.social Artefact Cards I have in the kitchen for mini recipe reminders.

Saw this in Oxford today. Some folk probably think it’s a nice thing to do. I just think it’s a bit of a…. ….Tolkien gesture.

First butterfly of the year spotted in Oxford. And it’s a yellow one. “…as everyone knows, if the first butterfly you see is yellow the summer will be a happy one.” Tove Jannson, ‘Finn Family Moomintroll’

More yep.

Just a few tadpoles…

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

Something stinks around this… CEO & CFO of City & Guilds charity sell it to an organisation headquartered in Cyprus, start working for that company after the sale, and get massive bonuses.

Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed

What’s the betting Anthropic registers in another country before the year’s out?

top tip

Yep.

Somebody check Polymarket.

Absolutely THIS. Much, much more of this. Call out the bullshit, and this is bullshit. Don't pander to the swivel eyed loons. Call it out, hard. More of this from every party (that isn't fascism FC).

This is like Tati on Los Espookys selling an Herbalite-like product that will ensure you "gain, lose or maintain weight"

I so love that there is a entire ‘cinematic universe’ which is just Waiting For Godot but Godot is Spider-Man

A knowledgable English gentleman on our touch rugby group referred to Henry Pollock as ‘the ruck inspector’ during the #ENGvIRE #sixnations game at the weekend, and I just can’t unthink that now. He does have a habit of standing at rucks and… just looking at them.

We might need to place a wholesale order for facepalm emojis at this rate…

Very similar here—discussed with 17 y/o who has been hearing about it constantly as William Golding taught at her school so they are making a lot of it. Did get through all four parts but goodness it was a slog.

As with positive/cooperative versions of game theory, there is an institutional bias to only discussing the negative readings of human behaviour.

Sandwich Sandwich. Sandwich Sandwich, Sandwich Sandwich. #malkovich

Have you also heard the real story which revealed a lot more optimistic outlook on humanity & how we actually are capable of coming together in a crisis rather than ripping each other to shreds according to the myths of selfish rationality? Bregman included it in his book & this Guardian summary

Had an interesting conversation with the 16yo about Lord of the Flies - clearly has taken a lot of it in when they did it at school. But the first episode of the latest TV adaptation didn’t do much for either of us, unfortunately. So we might not finish it…

“But Alan! What about the badger parade?”

Is someone about to die at the Baftas?

The plot of A View to a Kill has Bond trying to stop Christopher Walken from destroying Silicon Valley and let me just say HOLD UP JAMES LET THE MAN COOK

Never in doubt, eh? #sixnations #WALvSCO #scotland

I mean, this is the stupidest argument I’ve ever heard.

Didn’t expect to be pulling out this gif so early today… #sixnations #ENGvIRE

I guess because I was looking for a Jeet Kune Do thing a couple of weeks ago, I was just offered this Bruce Lee thing on YouTube - 30 minutes of a story of the time he fought a Navy Seal called Ray Dalton. Except… it never happened. The earliest post about it is this year. #AI youtu.be/SH6yTMzQHQU

Imagine what you have to say for someone at *GB News* to think ‘hang on, that’s a bit off…’

Officially hopped off Substack and moved to @beehiiv.com today. Let’s rock n roll.

The Rapa Nui devoted enormous resources to making carved stone heads. In doing so, they deforested the island The tragedy is that the compulsion to build seems to have persisted even as the evidence of destruction accumulated around them. Sound familiar? www.theverge.com/tech/880812/...

Never in doubt. #curling #scotland

Substack, as expected, escalates toward hyper-disinfo. Remember, folks: The tech bros tearing down our country are the major forces behind this monstrosity. Choose your future wisely.

Not now, mysterious smiling rock unearthed in Northumbria…

You know M.R. James would have had a field day with this.

Good luck to anyone trying to publish any other news today.

And after all that, the Pitt/Cruise AI fight scene appears to have been just digital BG and face replacement on multi-angle green screen reference videos of two real live human stuntees fighting. In other words, like most AI hype — it was a con. www.shokunin.studio/blog/2026/2/...

Battersea Hardware is my new album title.

Excellent piece on the need for a new European tech infrastructure, with high standards that break US dominance - www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Wow.

Non-Findable Tokens

Five years ago I pointed out nearly all NFT's were going to break when the startup who minted them goes bust, causing people to get extremely mad at me until everyone concluded that I was correct. Thought I'd check in on the two examples I used and well

Current vibe. #FAcup #winterolympics

New in from my brother. He isnae wrong.

Great thread on Iain (M.) Banks. Still have my signed copy from when he would give two lectures on the book to the first semester English students at the University of Stirling. I wish these had been recorded at least once, but can’t find them anywhere.

Spent five mins on this at lunch. You know, just in case anybody needed a new GIF… #sixnations #scotland #SCOvENG

"Cognitive Debt" is the same thing as Stanislaw Ulam's original "Singularity," and it's quite interesting to see that expressed as a "debt" *You've got technical advancement you didn't humanly think about, so now you owe, owe, owe *With interest margaretstorey.com/blog/2026/02...

I saw someone say, “Emerald Fennell is Greta Gerwig’s Wario,” and I haven’t stopped laughing 😭

As proud as we should all be about the #scotland win against England yesterday, in the long run the real history was made by Scottish ref Hollie Davidson, who became the first woman to officiate a #sixnations game. And was *superb*. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/articl...
