It has been a few days, and after some time to get used to it I would like to revise my opinion of iOS 26 and its re “Liquid Glass” design language. I can now confidently say that I seriously dislike. It’s ugly, and worse still it’s janky. #apple #ios #iphone

I do not care for the new #iOS glass design language: I do not care for it at all. Thank you for your attention. #Apple

Thinking about making #YouTube videos again. If I ever call it “content,” feel free to slap me. Same goes for saying “without further ado” before wasting more time by cutting to a cheesy intro. And if I ever flash or fade to white—slap me twice.

Hey #Midjourney Create "A Squirrel wearing a crown holding a golden acorn, digital art." ...erm, are you OK Midjourney?

The Blue Prince is excellent. I assume you’ve played it — or are playing it @zomda.bsky.social. #games #TheBluePrince

#Nosferatu Narratively thin and lacking character development, the film leans heavily on visual spectacle and a few standout performances. That said, everything’s better with Willem Dafoe—glad he escaped The Lighthouse. #letterboxed #film #WillemDafoeMakesThingsBetter letterboxd.com/deviantrobot...

Very odd and “vivid” #dreams last night. Despite having pronounced #Aphantasia, such that I can’t “see” images in my dreams, I can still experience dreams with varying degrees of vividness. Like stories, they can carry a strong or weak sense of verisimilitude , presence or connection.

New things! The Green Knight (2021) because it was awesome and deserves to be seen without Amazon Primes belief that cubism is the only way to experience dark or low contrast scenes. And Nosferatu (2024) because after The Lighthouse (2019) and The Witch (2015) I will watch all the Eggers. #film

Hey #Lego, you have become confused again.

Can someone explain how #LinkedIn Premium could possibly be worth £70/month? I was expecting £7—and even then! It’s mostly inane motivational memes and “insightful” business BS. Do they print it, leather-bind it, and have it recited to you during a deep tissue massage with optional happy ending?

UK public opinion on re-joining the EU: First off—“Neither” clearly the option for people who enjoy quantum indeterminacy at a political level. But more importantly, how are there still so many people who think leaving was a good idea? #Brexit #RejoinEU

Now that our "special friend" has shown it's willing to shaft its allies right up the economy, what are we calling the UK's return to the EU? #BreeerrraghmagahdWeFuckedUpOhShiitOhShiitOhShiit!

As a lifelong and committed #CoffeeLover, I now find I need to avoid #Coffee for health reasons (even #Decaf). Looking to replace my morning #DripCoffee fix—has anyone had much luck with #Chicory? It’s not terrible, but if you can recommend a good #ChicoryCoffee brand, I’d appreciate it.

Rewatched the annoyingly titled LOL: Last One Laughing—a "witty" redefinition immediately undermined by comedy’s greatest nemesis: the need to explain. Genuinely enjoyed it. After seeing the Japanese original (Documental), I’d always wondered what a British version might be like. A lot less nudity.

Same, medieval dudes. Same.

I really think I’ve got it this time, I’m so clo FUCK

Watched 'The Green Knight' (2021) last night and absolutely loved it. I’d been put off by people claiming it was “confusing” or “aimless”. These people were rounded up and shot at dawn as a public service to prevent further inane comments being made. #letterboxd #film letterboxd.com/deviantrobot...

They should be fine, they’re highly unlikely to need to parallel park. Also, despite the gushing about “female empowerment,” the women’s magazine—written by women, for women—leads with details on the flight crew's photoshoot and outfit choices. Hooray feminism. www.elle.com/culture/cele...

This morning, my jet-lagged wife took a bath at 6am and woke me up — so, now we both have jet-lag.

I absolutely love the Technology Connections YouTube channel. It’s one of those rare gem channels that doesn’t seem to be as well known as it should be. Genuinely, accessible, charming and informative. youtube.com/@technologyc... Keep being awesome. @techconnectify.bsky.social #youtube

Republican’s say #Trump is using ‘noblesse oblige’ to consolidate power. They must mean ‘knobless oblige’! I’m saying he has no penis. Obviously, he has a penis—but I’m being mean cos I don’t like him. I might also say he is a knob. But since a knob itself has no knob, my point would still stand.

Is mayonnaise egg jam? #thoughts

Cool. youtu.be/D3eHKI0nvKA?...

Today I woke up at 6am and fixed ~150 bugs for my client. I found my self starting to look forward to the weekend…

Fun fact. I have had a #headache all day.

I wish both the Left and the Right would learn the meaning of Chesterton's Fence. They keep tearing down fences and then, without a hint of self-awareness, complain that things aren't working right and ask, 'Why has no one put some sort of barrier here?'

My friend Steven Parton interviewed Adam Zeman about #Aphantasia — something he and I both have. Interestingly, we both seem to have the more pronounced form, where even our dreams lack imagery. youtu.be/TdSwDUONWLg?...

@zomda.bsky.social it’s not what it looks like. I am stalking you. :)

Thinking of watching Top Secret! (1984) this weekend. Always loved Val Kilmer in that movie and haven't seen it in decades. #ripValKilmer

I had the alarming experience of largely agreeing with Pierce Morgan this morning as he beat up on MAGA over the US Yemen attack Signal chat mess. I feel unclean. #Signalgate

Looking forward to the article about how #DASHWater is made from orphan tears and makes you hair go on fire at some point. Nothing that tastes that nice and has 0 calories can be free of consequences. I am starting to fear the consequences.

It’s a shame that more people don’t understand the Dunning-Kruger effect as well I do. I reckon I understand it loads. #dunning-kruger

OK BlueSky, i am in you. Now what?
