You’ll Be OK

Seen and spoken to alot of great people over the past few weeks. Feeling content :)

The Black Friday adverts and emails are getting very tiresome already. I predict it will be the worst Christmas in a long time for consumer spending

Had (cow) milk in my tea for the first time in ages and it’s yuck. I’ll stick with oat milk please!

X rolled out a new feature overnight showing where accounts are based. This network of “Trump-supporting independent women” that claimed to be “real Americans” are based in Thailand. The photos were stolen from European models & posts pushed pro-Trump lines while targeting Islam and LGBTQ people.

I miss Sunday nights at my parents. Star Trek Voyager and Top Gear! TV was always a very social thing for us as a family. Last time I went to Dad's, he didn't even have a TV or Freeview set up D':

Influencers be like

My teeny tiny server rack!

Time to start getting things to make the house more cosy this winter 🥰

About to leave a flight that’s just landed at Heathrow and you turn around and find @jakazid.bsky.social has been sat behind you the whole time. Crazy coincidence. Had a nice chat! (Sorry Josh, the photo we took didn’t save, have a safe journey home!)

Pac Man eats Tokyo!

NH212

Back from Vienna today, prep tomorrow, Japan on Monday!!

Yay! Happy wedding!

The rarest of sights. A Ryanair flight with nobody next to me!

Challenge TV shows way too many episodes of The Chase in one day

2025 - Gig #5 - Sigur Rós

2 weeks till Japan!!

1 year today, fuck me today has been crap 💔

I like the new iOS, a small retreat from the minimalist and more towards skeuomorphism (such as the camera icon)

@endlessraining.bsky.social has swears! They've used 12 profanities in their last 101 posts. 🥇 "fuck" (2 times) 🥈 "damn" (1 times) 🥉 "cunt" (1 times)

100% Bob is the name of my Twin Peaks drag act

I've been posting again on LiveJournal for the past month like it's 2003 all over again. I'm not sure how long I'm going to keep it up for, but I'm enjoying posting long form far more than microblogging. Let me know if you'd like access as it's friends only!

Hope everyone enjoyed their first day of summer

We now cross over to BBC Radio Derby.

Anyone who's looking for music recommendations, old or new, this guy has the goods

Bought PS Plus Essentials just so I could see the player notes in Elden Ring

Bluesky being 'not twitter', I'm not sure it's enough sometimes. It feels this platform is struggling to reach that critical-mass point

Lol, DJ Yoshitaka is becoming president and CEO of Konami Arcade Games. Look at the suit! www.4gamer.net/games/999/G9...

Is there any worse feeling than turning on the TV/radio and finding out that Jeremy Vine is presenting?

Nathan Fielder is the only man who can make me laugh and cry at the same time

Is anyone else finding Safari in MacOS to be a total piece of crap in recent times? Tabs freezing, broken display for pages. It's gotten so bad I've switched to Firefox and it seems to be a lot snappier.

I used your site to find some very old Quake 2 skins I made back in the early 2000's and I was able to find and download them. I thought they were lost to time. Thank you so much.

Switching ISP after 12 years, so long Sky and your silly price hikes

(Talking to a straight couple) So which of you is DS9 & which is TNG?

Defrosting the freezer, the most early May bank holiday of early May bank holiday jobs

Google, X and Facebook Are Modern-Day Tobacco Companies Just as tobacco companies knew they were poisoning people, today’s social media titans knowingly poison our politics, peddling lies and stoking angry divides for profit. www.scientificamerican.com/article/goog...

Thought Geordie Greep put in an excellent performance in Guardians 3, show stealer, well done lad

Feels like the past is welcoming me back lately. Old friends reaching out, memories I thought I'd lost returning, long forgotten interests rekindled. And I'm loving it.

Me thinking for decades they were saying Alcazar, and not "How bizarre"

For the FT, I wrote an essay about why the daily experience of the Internet keeps getting worse, tipping us into madness and conflict. I gather ideas about slop, enshittification, and dead internet theory under what I call "the hostile Internet." www.ft.com/content/5d06...

Bring it back, cowards

@jakazid.bsky.social Do you remember the "Animal Hospital" hardcore remix? I've had it stuck in my head for years, I think it was from an Off me nut sampler but could be from anywhere and I want to find it!

They should've used Can't Fight the Moonlight in the Sailor Moon dub
