www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... Mad story but nice that two of London's most fabulous street parked cars are in the videos. A derelict looking Morris Minor 1000 Convertible and a similarly derelict Bentley S2 that's EV converted. Photos in comments.

True story. I'll miss them when they're gone. Visible from several running routes, including a couple over in The Kingdom.

If you're a financial supporter, you can email them ([email protected]) and let them know what you think of this. I've done so and asked how I can cancel my recurring donation. I try hard not to financially support organisations that don't value what I value.

Anyone who's lived or worked with me for any length of time has had the Arkell v Pressdram response from me. Usually in response to a question asked too early in the morning.

Just off a call with a vendor. They were looking for candour, asking for my view on a couple of sensitive things. The guy had the Meta glasses on. I didn't feel able to ask him to take them off, so I made a joke about them and he immediately took them off. The call was with a cybersecurity vendor.

#weirdcarbs is that a PT Cruiser convertible being filled up in the lead image?

I have zero time for any notion of what Scotland is or could be or should be that doesn't have plenty space for this.

AWS launches Amazon Connect Health, an AI-driven suite to *harvest* clinical documentation, billing and procedure coding, and patient identity verification. And then spew it all out to attackers during some easily preventable data breach.

At the very least one has to wonder if Palantir will stop using Anthropic!

I didn't know gold bars have different logos stamped on, like ecstacy pills. And I didn't know that both eccies and gold bars used Mitsubishi stamps.

Yep this is the real threat and it is so hard to shift research thinking on it. Attacking OT ineffectively is generally high cost low reward. But attacking it effectively is an information challenge more than a hacking one. Local documentation is shit and discovery is hard. Processes are complex

www.ebay.co.uk/itm/15770248... I personally put over 100k on a silver 1998 Ka. I would probably do it again. LEZ compliant, too.

This app, Nearby Glasses, has one purpose: to warn you about so-called smart glasses nearby. No details are collected about the phone or it's user. No telemetry, no ads and no other nuisances. False positives are to be expected, use with caution.

The memes and jokes today are off the charts.

"Remember, I was always Mummy's favourite" "Lol, she's dead, m8"

FACTCHECK: Centrica's Chris O'Shea got blanket coverage for claiming electricity will cost more in 2030 than in energy crisis (Chris Stark: "he's wrong on this") I asked Centrica for evidence – they didn’t reply (Bills in crisis were >2x today, before huge govt subsidies) 1/4

After the @smithandsniff.bsky.social live show last night I did, of course, check the car park. The Alpines/Avantime parking group was fab. Shout out to whoever brought out an NSX in Glasgow in February.

This is a good read. If Google can make the fake image, it should be able to spot the fake in all its products.

Don't wait until you're jammed up, put Lockdown Mode on if you have the feature available.

I expected this was going to sail through with perfunctory scrutiny, really chuffed about this. It's a well positioned site, build something for actual people there!

I had this when I was a kid and thought that it was basically a schematic and I was going to be able to build a robot using it. I remember checking the RS Components catalogue but it had no robot parts section.

I did not have "Green party voters most likely to support military action over Greenland" on my bingo card.

Y'know that scene in Weird Science where Gary and Wyatt are cutting up porn mags and the Littlewoods catalogue underwear to scan into their sex bot machine? I wonder if Elon is operating the scissors himself or doing QA on the porn?

"The US has never had a rival like China: its equal or more in technology, trade and military power." Bronwen Maddox on the challenge posed to the US by China's rise to power. Watch in full➡️ bit.ly/4pHKSpH

Tories and Reform starting to look like that brief period where there were two competing line ups of the Sugarbabes operating at the same time.

No doubt Zahawi a big name for Reform & helps with momentum. But his resignation was on what the public see as a clear ‘one rule for them’ type scandal they hate - so a risk this, more than previous switches, could blunt Reform’s appeal as ‘different to usual political class’.

A fantastically versatile image. Replace Michael Martin with your local council/councillor/MP/supermarket and email it to them. (credit and luvs to @infiniteguff.com)

It would be great if Dell were at the vanguard here. Also great if Dell could do something about touchscreens in cars and the awful scales at self service checkouts.

Kill Your Friends by John Niven @nivenj1.bsky.social I would swear it has the most swearing I've ever read.

America has seen more pictures of Trump with Epstein than they have Trump with his own children.

My stupidly talented friend Mike created this magnificent @heraldscotland.bsky.social front page, and now it’s up for Front Page of the Year. He deserves all the recognition he’s received for it, and it would be much appreciated if you gave it a vote www.holdthefrontpage.co.uk/2025/news/ch...

The Ellison/Bezos tie is the one to gamble on, if that's your thing.

he's making a list he's checking it twice gonna find out who's naughty or nice santa claus is in contravention of the data protection act (2018)

Breaking. Liz Truss wins this year's FIFA Prize for Economics.

The Wera advent calendar is really delivering the goods! It's only the 8th and I already have a respectable (if lopsided) tool kit.

PLEASE SHARE: On Black Friday, I want to draw attention away from the big chains and towards local Edinburgh independent retailers, makers and markets. Please join me from 7 pm - 8 pm on Friday 28 November to share some ideas for Christmas gifting. We'll use the hashtag #EdinburghHour

Copacetic mag really has been a thrill to read. Exciting new print media in 2025 is a blessing.

Another fascinating deep dive by @londoncentric.media. I don't love London but I love London Centric.

Amazing TV show returning to the iPlayer. I can't believe more people haven't seen it. Michael Kamen and Eric Claptop score, which might not be everyone's cup of tea but adds heaps to the atmosphere. Not unlike the Lethal Weapon score they did a couple of years later.

Shout out to the KLF and to all of the people who still think they burned a million quid.

Did a new one

Anyone could complain to Virgin Money or the Yorkshire Building Society (YBS) about this, but if you have accounts with them your voice will be heard much louder. Ask them about the organisational policy that was violated and ask how you can avoid breaching the same policy.

‘Piracy Is Not A Victimless Crime’ warnings on blu-rays hit a little different in the era of AI

UK Car people! I need to buy wipers, I will get them from Halfrauds (I am still in the old trade scheme). The brands offered are Bosch and Valeo - which is better (or least bad)? I can see that the Bosch wipers on at the moment were put on in March, so they're fucked after zero winter action.

Old lady neighbour of ours asked me about this. I thought she had heard something wrong or was just losing it. I don't think I gave it the attention or gave her the reassurance she needed. I will go and clarify and reassure her. Disinformation tsunami...

I don't think this is parody but it's so mental that I can't be sure. The guy, his moustache, his impassioned position on incest, his argument with his Mum about incest - it all feels like an elaborate comedy routine. www.spectator.co.uk/article/what...

I just saw someone use the abbreviation “AI;DR” and I’ll be laughing for a while.
