Spontaneously decided to make an orange cake today. Those oranges were looking a bit peaky so best way to use them up.

Aladdin is my favorite Disney animated film. There are at least 4 different home/handheld console versions of Aladdin. All of them offer something unique. First up, here is the one for Sega's 16 bit console (Megadrive/Genesis). Did you play this version? #retrogaming

What movie moment made you exclaim... "THIS IS CINEMA" I can hear this gif... if you don't know, you need to rectify that immediately. Thank me later

This combination of peanut butter, honey, chilli and poached egg probably shouldn't work... and yet it is freaking delicious 😋 🍳 #breakfast Should we start a cooking channel @mattpotteruk.bsky.social?

Love this book; a history of our world told through the meaning we attach to colour, via philosophy, anthropology, culture, religion, technology, fashion and more. In an increasingly bleached, sterile world, colour is essential for understanding meaning, purpose, and the human condition 🌈💜💚💛

Today is a Goblin Tools app kind of day - when you have too much to do and overwhelm is near, break it down into smaller chunks. Total game changer 🙌🏽

I finally watched It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley at Curzon Soho tonight; I love this film. It's poignant, beautifully human and emotive, showcasing how Jeff's timeless music transcends genres, cultures, and generations. Simply breathtaking filmmaking 👌🏼❤️🎬 #jeffbuckley

Transported to 2003 Iraq at yesterday's performance of Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo at The Young Vic - dark, disturbing, weird and otherworldly 👌🏼🎭 🐅 Took a punt with Lucky Dip seats and got seated in the second row for £12 ✌🏼🙏🏼 #theatre #youngvic #plays #londontheatre

So sad, she was my favourite in so many roles and so incredibly good in every one of them - too many to name and not only a staple of our childhood favourites. RIP Catherine O'Hara 💔🙏🏼

Well done everybody, great work etc. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

The hill I will die on: Bum gun, bidet or shattaf – whatever you call it, install one now | Mona Eltahawy

“They will hold this torch high without faltering because they have weathered the battering storms of persecution and withstood the temptation to retreat to a more quiet and serene life.”     These words continue to inspire and guide us, on MLK day and every day that follows.

In 1964, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. visited New York City on his way home from accepting the Nobel Peace Prize in Norway. Speaking to a packed crowd at City Hall, Dr. King said,    "Those who have sat so long in darkness now find themselves lighting the way for others...”

“The richest man on the planet’s stated policy appears to be that if there isn’t an explicit law against it, then feel free to use Grok to sexualise images of children; a green light for the proliferation of paedophilic content.” www.thenewworld.co.uk/james-ball-e...

"Where we are today, we're not seeing it."

Free bus travel for under 22s is just one step to help support those areas devastated by years of austerity. KMPG analysis shows that for every £1 invested in bus services, we get an economic benefit ranging from £4.55 to £5. news.sky.com/story/green-...

"You don’t need to [use] your brain."

And adults too, I'll bet. In a world where intellectual thought isn't celebrated as much as it should be, let's not use AI to make people even dumber.

You could... but you end up being lazier, stupider, or both as a result. Winning? 🫠🤔 The commercial use of AI is nonsense... there isn't a use case apart from "I couldn't be bothered."

typical ai use case

My boy just learned about the Bengal Famine at school... he found it shocking... imagine the difference it could make if more people across the UK systematically learned about the history of colonisation, and Britain's complicity in partition, and unpacked the impact on South Asian communities.

I had already quit using Twitter a while ago but have just deactivated.

Started using Ecosia today to rid myself of those pesky AI overviews that are fast-tracking misinformation and reducing our critical thinking skills.

I really don't understand the benefits of adding Google AI to search when it makes everything worse, obfuscates the results, reduces critical thinking, and makes you wade through thick custard to actually find what you're looking for. I am happy that Steve is still very much with us though :)

The Royal Society has been an absolute source of joy this festive season. Really enjoyed this lecture on Consciousness by @anilseth.bsky.social @royalsociety.org www.youtube.com/live/ghxy9YT...

Parmesan shortbreads are the perfect accompaniment to any festive fizz you may be uncorking to celebrate the New Year. They’re #RecipeOfTheDay now in case you want a get a head start on them, but they’re neither difficult nor time-consuming to make. www.nigella.com/recipes/parm...

Interested in why and how AI struggles to debunk #fakenews and verify online misleading content? It's always been something I've wondered about, and this lecture from the @royalsociety.org explains it rather well: www.youtube.com/live/lo1iNzM...

I googled author Steve Paxton... Google AI said he was both a choreographer and a socialist thinker. Of course, it mixed up two different Steve Paxtons. One who is very much still writing about socialist politics. I've also been interested in enshittification lately so two worlds are colliding.

Goodwill messages and handwritten notes were exchanged for centuries, a tradition going back to ancient times. But when did we start selling greeting cards? 1843 - www.vam.ac.uk/articles/the... Industrialists monetised the act of handwritten notes and now, card-giving can be thoughtless.

OMITB has jumped the shark so far as to be completely intolerable apart from the always excellent soundtrack. Fallen so far, the new series is a total waste of time 😬😶

So profoundly grateful for vaccines and fascinated by the science behind them, so it's probably fitting that I accidentally put it twice 😅

Incredible day at Festival of the Girl with my daughter trying robotics, making vaccines, parkour, deadlifting, skateboarding, football, making vaccines, jiu-jitsu, VR and so much more ✨️💪🏽🙏🏽 Highly recommended for a fun day challenging gender stereotypes and empowering young girls. #stem #feminism

Bought Blind Date with a Book a few months ago from Kuala Lumpur. Randomly decided today was the day to find out what I bought. Turns out it was Book of Longing by Leonard Cohen. It seems they got my taste spot-on as already own The Flame. #books #lit #literature #poems #poetry #LeonardCohen
