The First WORLD FENCING LEAGUE is happening April 25th!!! I'M GEEKING!!! Japanese engineers developed this "Sword Tip Visualisation" tracking technology specifically for this event that will make it so much easier for the average person to see what's going on! I MUST WATCH THIS ENTIRE TOURNAMENT

I’m back on the MHCLG blog today, talking about how we in-sourced our system for Homes for Ukraine and what we learned along the way 💙💛 mhclgdigital.blog.gov.uk/2026/04/09/f...

I hope Angine de Poitrine’s dad is proud of them.

Remember my old bot that posted every rejected parliament petition? I've resurrected it on both Bluesky and Mastodon. Let the chaos begin.

In return for information about the thieves, Crimestoppers are offering a large bounty.

A grillion years late to this but Rye Lane is really good, innit

(Some of you will know where this is going ;))... Fortunately, there is a way for you to help them as the Ruth Hayman Trust gives grants to, amongst others, those who need to requalify and, oh look, several of our Trustees are about to do a sponsored walk! www.justgiving.com/page/ruth-ha...

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

Today is St David’s Day: patron saint of Wales, of course, but also of vegetarians and poets. He was reputed to have helped introduce bees to Ireland. He is famously quoted as saying “Gwnewch y pethau bychain”, meaning “Do the little things”. Small changes and good choices matter, especially now.

While sudden cliff falls at Birling Gap (near my home town of Eastbourne) are no joke, I really love how much it looks like we’ve roused a grumpy, sleepy sea-wizard.

Another argument for putting all computers in the bin, including the one I'm typing on theshamblog.com/an-ai-agent-...

The weather has reminded me of a Margaret Mahy short story about a town where it rains constantly, and anyone slagging it off is arrested

On this day, 2 years ago. I sat in bed and said to myself, 'Why haven't you finally made that compilation of Jim McDonald from Coronation Street, absolutely battering people to Motörhead? So I did.' Enjoy! It will forever be my greatest contribution to society.

Italian voice actor Carlo Bononi was the voice of all of the characters on Pingu. A trained clown by trade, he used a theater technique called grammelot, which consists of "speaking" in a mix of babbled gibberish noises. He improvised all the voices live and unscripted.
