Instead of breeding ever weirder designer dogs to look a certain way, do you think we could figure out a way to selectively breed dogs who will eat a breath mint from time time?

If I were a Qatari I'd be asking for my jet back.

Does anyone else have a ten year old who doesn't use gendered pronouns when talking about kids in their class? To the point where it's confusing; like "Florence and Dragomir are in the kitchen. Oh and they're allergic to nuts". If you assume both kids are allergic; wrong. He just won't say "He"

My Tuesday mood.

It had to happen I suppose, but so much if my identity was bound up in being really good at Excel, I do find this sad. At least I got to teach my kids the good stuff. Although I might as well have taught them how to shoe a horse, for all the practical value it will add to them. #RIPGETPIVOTDATA

American foodies! "Au jus" is NOT A NOUN! The sandwich is served "au jus", not "with au jus". Every time I see or hear this inanity it really grinds my gears!

Listening to Project Hail Mary on Audible. Sci fi written in 2021 and there's already a whole chapter that has become irrelevant thanks to commercially available ai

My ten year old explained the difference between turtles and tortoises to be today. Embarrassed that I got this old without knowing.

So my pension fund manager just sent out a "Don't shit the bed" email about Tariffs. How bad is this gonna be?

If Boris Johnson was "Britain Trump", is Trump going to be "America Truss"?

www.theguardian.com/society/2025... 100% agree with this. UK housebuilders are a blight on the country. They should be taxed on the land they're holding back to restrict supply. While we're at it, we need to enforce higher Environmental and quality standards.

"Staring at the blank screen" time endee eight minutes ago. And yet here I am, still.

I tried Huel. The name is onomatopoeiaic

Alex Karp (CEO, Palentir) on status tech billionaires like Musk and Bezos; They want to be protected by laws, but not bound by them . They want everyone else to be bound by laws but not protected by them. Highly recommend his book.

Stand with Ukrainians as Trump prepares to sell them out (Location: Russian embassy, London, Feb ‘23)

Tesla share price Dec 17 - $480 Tesla share price today - $306 (Location: Tesla Gigafactory, Berlin)

Am I nuts to think Trump could go the way of the Lettuce?

I made roast potatoes. I made way too many and ate all the leftovers. The looks from the dogs are full of reproach.

Spent an hour watching a pod of whales in the harbour today. Pretty good day.

As a tree hugging liberal elitist of the worst kind, I endorse this message. Stop buying cats that require the excavation of tonnes of rocks for every kg of battery material. Buy the nicest used car you like. Maintain it well and use it mindfully. Walk and cycle more if you can.

NYT is missing the point. Trump is not showing an interest in "Nation Building", he's just manifesting his long standing interest in "Resort Development"

I used to joke that, one day, a tech billionaire would turn into a Bond Villain.

@flysas.com when you books seats on code share airlines you need to tell the passengers CLEARLY that you have not paid the operating airline, and that they need to. Ideally before the get to the gate for a 3.5 hour flight and find the sest they thought they had booked is not what they got.

@seishonagon.bsky.social hello mate! You asked on Facebook, I'm answering here. #freethefeed

Keflavik airport. I never get tired of this sign (which may reflect badly on me)

Here's how Trump might end Musk, once in power. 1. Borrow from other backers and short Tesla stock. 2. "Save the US Auto Industry" and "End Wokery" by taxing EVs 3. Use his newly weaponised judiciary to jail Musk on "Trumped up" (how apt will that phrase become in 2025?) charges. 4. Cash in

I did it. I deleted X A couple of months later than I intended but it is gone.

I highly recommend this feed for anyone else who gets frustrated at the garbage posted on LinkedIn! Now, let me tell you what rewatching Love Actually taught me about SaaS sales....

I have a nine year old son who dreams of being a physicist. He confidently tells people that he doesn't believe in God but he still hedges his bets on the existence of Santa.

One step at a time. Let's start from 100,000. Thank you for your support and amplifying our voice.

Heading back to my hotel from an annual Uni lunch. We do this once a year. It is not enough

My 12 year old asked me what's the most difficult book on my bookshelf. I handed her the copy of Gödel, Esther, Bach that I have been trying (and failing) to finish for more than 20 years. She's going for it. What's the worst that can happen?

Just got picked up from Zurich airport in a Hydrogen powered taxi. Zero emissions, 500km range and no long charging. Granted, we have to create hydrogen infrastructure and clean refining but we "perfected" fossil fuels and we can do this.

Since the idiot Musk doesn't want the word "Tweet" any more, how do people feel about using it to describe posting on here?

Pretty sure that Greg Wallace is a bit of a creep who made people uncomfortable but postponing the rest of Masterchef the professionals doesn't help anyone and would be awful for the contestants and their careers

I wouldn't describe myself as a snowflake but if Greg Wallace leered and perved at human beings the way he did over puddings, you can see why he's on the fast train to Canceltown.

Counting down to Friday, when I will delete the other app and just be on here.

Thanks for noticing.

Release the Gaetz report. Pass it on.
