The Walt Disney Company don't appear to be having a very good month on the New York Stock Exchange... I can't imagine why.

That was unexpected... a flight of 9 small jets just overflew East London in a V formation. No Idea what the occasion is. Red Arrows?

It must be that time of year again… The RAM modules in my NAS seems to fail every autumn so now I’m stuck slumming it with Netflix until some new DDR3 arrives. Probably being overly cautious but I’m keeping the disks out until the chassis is happy again.

I seem to have become addicted to watching Discovery docuseries … I have polished off 30+ seasons of Gold Rush and Deadliest Catch over the past few months. I also have the gay audacity after watching so many seasons to believe I’d be better at gold mining or crab fishing than most of the pro’s.

I don’t really know what to say about this week’s Star Trek Strange New Worlds episode… it had one or two moments of amusing levity but little else to redeem it. A badly scripted hammy mess of an episode. Terrible storyline. awful performances. 2/10 #startrek #STSNW #SNW

How long does champagne keep for? I’m wondering if the bottle I naively put aside for the election of Kamala Harris will last long enough for Trump’s funeral.

How much of Ukraine’s territory is the tyrannical despotic paedophile rapist dictator in the White House going to try and give away? Place your bets!

Newham folks... @ibikelondon.bsky.social are doing a social/family ride around the borough next Saturday. Open to all and free to attend. Register here: www.ticketsource.co.uk/ibikelondon/...

A timely reminder that smart home devices which rely on external cloud service are not smart and will always break. The Energyhive monitoring platform is having it's backend axed on 31/12/2025... Terminating smart functionality for dozens of smarthome energy brands. engage.efergy.com

Oops… I was planning to wait until tomorrow to fix the #homelab and tidy it up but the *tism got me and I couldn’t help myself… much better now ;)

This weekend’s project… tidy up this abomination. The #homelab rack has been a bit neglected lately and needs some TLC. I replaced some gear in a hurry and didn’t have time to finesse a couple of months ago. I’m oddly looking forward to getting this rats nest fixed.

Ooof... The @greenparty.org.uk internal elections have opened. It took over an hour to review all the candidates statments and pledges but I got there in the end. A giant thanks to @lgbtiqagreens.bsky.social for their candidate pledges. A massive help. Good luck @zackpolanski.bsky.social !

Judging by the strange distant screams echoing over East London a minute ago I’m going to assume that the lionesses just won. Lovely :)

Eep… you know it’s time to shave when the phone’s Face-ID doesn’t recognise you anymore.

Oooh... We haven't had an amber warning for a while. Here's hoping we actually get some decent thunderstorms this time!

I get the loveliest text messages :) I never cease to be impressed with the sexual health services at Dean Street… The results texted right to me in less than 24 hours. A breath of fresh air compared to the last place I used to get my MOT done.

Eeep... in East London it's even hotter than it was yesterday. Hopefully this temperature peaks soon.

What a sad pathetic man who stands for absolutely nothing. An empty vessel rattling noisily for whatever lobby is closest to power and gets to drop their mean spirited bigotry into him first

Thank goodness for portable air conditioners. The temperature in East London had already passed 30c at noon and tomorrow may be even hotter. I'll be hiding in my lounge in front of the AC. Thankfully I'm offsetting some of the environmental impact with some decent solar power generation this year.

Today is the day! It's going to be a warm one so be sure to wear sunscreen and bring plenty of water. If you plan on leaving your bike during the breaks please bring a lock too. Most importantly of all Have Fun !!

🤦‍♂️ From cost to storage, so many Londoners face a variety of problems when it comes to buying a bike... Sadiq has the power to start sweeping those problems away 🧹 📣 Tell him to do more today: bit.ly/43YSUC7

Great… my Ocado order went from running late to cancelled. Hopefully Amazon Fresh can get my @prideride.co.uk supplies delivered tonight. Not letting this spoil my mood.

For the gays who like bicycles the Pride bike ride in London is this Saturday :) It's always a hoot... highly recommend. www.prideride.co.uk @prideride.co.uk @ibikelondon.bsky.social @prideinlondon.bsky.social

Not sure whose CMDB has been hacked recently but I'm suddenly getting an absolute tidal wave of scam SMS messages and phishing texts... Meh.

Fuck you wordle... 🟨⬛⬛⬛⬛ 🟨🟨⬛🟨⬛ ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩 ⬛🟩🟩🟩🟩

Bollocks... broke my wordle streak :(

So much for dramatic thunderstorms over London tonight… they’re all passing to the south east and look like they’ll miss us completely :(

Today’s accidental discovery… the Bosch power tools LBoxx storage system fits perfectly inside the narrow Ikea pax wardrobe units. #oddlysatisfying

So many people I follow are upset that the TV show "The Wheel of Time" on Amazon Prime has been cancelled and I've never heared of it... Is it any good? Worth a watch?

Bollocks did the UK public give 12 points to the genociders… not a chance in hell that those counts are legitimate. #Eurovision

Thank fuck for that… very happy to see Austria win. Had the genociders win Eurovision would have been irredeemably fucked. #Eurovision

Oooof… zero points so far for Iceland is feeling a bit unfair. It wasn’t that bad. #Eurovision

Nemo’s song was obviously very personal, profound, and heartfelt… I’m not entirely sure it was very Eurovision but it will piss off some of the most horrible people to have ever lived so I rather liked it. #Eurovision

After mulling it over for a little while I voted for Malta to win. It was between Finland and Malta for me. #Eurovision

So glad to see Malta has stuck to the time honoured #Eurovision tradition of pitching directly to the gays and only the gays. And rightly, it works.

How odd that @eurovision.tv turned down the audience singing "Kant" for Malta but added fake cheering for Israel. Cunts! #Eurovision

Malta… excellent. No notes, and the first song tonight which feels like a real Eurovision entry :) #eurovision

Ooh finally some eye candy… hello Armenia #Eurovision

Thanks Finland… finally a song that I genuinely enjoyed :) #Eurovision

Trying to relax and watch the Eurovision Song Contest and suddenly a murderous xenophobe from a genocidal apartheid state appears on the screen… Ugh. Muted until she goes away. #Eurovision2025

Meh. It’s that time of year again… I have started seeing ads for Eurovision. Given the complete lack of spine the contest organisers have shown over Israeli participation and pride flags I honestly don’t know if I can bring myself to watch it this year.

For anybody joining today’s @ibikelondon.bsky.social ride around Newham here’s our live location. glympse.com/!ibikelondon

Every bit as ghastly as Trump. I see a lot of milkshake in this man’s future.

Well this is going to be a horrible evening… Nationalist populism is a cancer infecting the right the centre and the left in almost equal measure. Let’s see just how many Brits are still trapped in the fascist disinformation maelstrom.

I’d be very happy to see Adrian replaced as party co-leader with somebody who doesn’t dehumanise trans women.

There's a family fun bike ride around Newham this saturday afternoon setting off from the Olympic Park. A carefully selcted route with great safety marshalls and some classic tunes :) @ibikelondon.bsky.social rides are always a giggle. As ever fancy dress is optional.

Meh... It's just about to hit 31c here in East London. I'm rather glad it's going to be cooler over the weekend at least.

Yuck... Sky News are doing a whistlestop tour of the country's nastiest bigots in all of their coverage today wih only one lone trans person featuring to counter their barely filtered contempt for her very existence.

I feel like it's time to break out this t-shirt again....

This time yesterday the temperature pm my balcony was 16.1c it's currently 17.8c ... it's going to be a toasty one for sure 🙂
