Genuinely looks as though the Spain team have brought along a satirical cardboard cutout for a laugh.

cruise (maintaining intense eye contact and leaning forward to perform active listening): cookies? that’s fantastic, wow

thanks to whoever left this awesome giant sheep outside the museum! we're sure nothing bad is going to happen

This video clip of a swan landing on a lake is best enjoyed with AUDIO ON. Mute swans (Cygnus olor) are among the heaviest flying birds & require a long runway, which means we get the majestic approach, a few furious moments of webbed feet slapping on water, then the majestic splashdown.

Absolutely essential reading about the impact of vibe coding on open source and the practice of software development generally, by @samlearner.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/cec8...

Always liked Lukaku 😀😀😀. Top shithousery #worldcup

I feel this in my bones

Ugh, every time I learn a new fact about Haaland I find myself liking him more and more, it’s terrible.

I wrote about the Trump regime's flailing attempt to co-opt the World Cup in service of their blood-and-soil politics, and why it's important to reject this messaging and engage in the joy of an event that is antithetical to the fascist worldview. badfaithtimes.com/fascists-are...

Nice one @libdems.org.uk 👍

This was just shared by @naomialderman.bsky.social and it deserves the widest possible audience. Ladies and gentlemen and all others, for your graphic design delight, I present… … the logo for the Paris Tennis School.

37 degrees in London for three days is it? YIKES. Time to review the Shade the UK list of ideas again to see if there’s anything further I can do on the flat. (Main thing is getting at least a temporary canopy up over the sunny patio, I suspect) So many ideas: www.shadetheuk.com/overheating-...

This is very sweet from @roberthutton.co.uk - how the Abbey National ended up writing back to correspondence for Sherlock Holmes after they moved into 221B Baker Street www.ft.com/content/004c...

I REALLY don’t like Alexi Lalas, but this moment of World Cup punditry yesterday was incredible. Lalas calls James Corden a “full-kit wanker” (a vulgar British term for a fan who wears the entire soccer uniform, for those not aware) and his european co-hosts’ reactions did not disappoint.

Dublin-born Cape Verde defender Pico Lopes was offered a slot in the national side over LinkedIn. Accepted the second time because the first invitation was in Portuguese „which i didn’t speak”

It appears my countrymen have arrived in the Americas and culturally appropriated a statue of George Washington.

Wrote up something that's been bugging me about agent skills distribution... they get shared like npm packages but that mental model breaks down for the most common types of skills (workflows) paulswail.com/agent-skills...

Very interesting @jburnmurdoch.ft.com piece this morning - how much value AI is creating is exactly the right question. The evidence from coders here suggests it’s so far creating a lot of extra output - 290% more files, 30% more software releases - but no extra valuable outputs (app downloads)

Given the recent burst of activity around enterprise pricing and contracts, I think April 2026 was the month when both OpenAI and Anthropic found product-market fit simonwillison.net/2026/May/27/...

Tottenham Hotspur 2025-26. The year when the whole club fell apart before De Zerbi put it back together again. So much drama on and off the pitch, and they’ve ended up in the same position: 17th, but with everyone feeling unusually unified. My piece: www.nytimes.com/athletic/729...

1. London Underground station flooding has reportedly been reduced by around 90% thanks to a group of engineers: beavers. After conservationists reintroduced a family of beavers into a nearby city park, the animals built dams and restored wetlands that now absorb and slow floodwater naturally.

The impossible maths of the AI boom - column here from Joachim Klement does not hold back. He argues the IPO of big AI companies is probably nothing more than a transfer of investment risk to retail investors www.ft.com/content/32bf...

The casting call for this preposterous Wordle TV show unveils what I presume to be the logo, and my favourite part is the grid in the background features a 🟨🟩🟩🟩🟩 row, a thing that cannot possibly happen in Wordle

A great article by @addyosmani.bsky.social addyosmani.com/blog/cogniti... Offload; don't surrender. "Cognitive offloading is delegating to the AI and still owning the answer. Cognitive surrender is when the AI’s output quietly becomes your output and there is nothing you feel is left to check."

This is a really good, straight to the point, practical blog post: piechowski.io/post/git-com... Git commands that give you insights on a legacy codebase 👍

Last week AISLE posted an article showing cheap models could find Mythos's showcased vulnerabilities - but admitted they pointed them at the specific code. They've now built a whole-codebase scanner and scanned the full FreeBSD and OpenBSD kernels from scratch. 1/3

AI makes code cheap to write. Verifying it is now the hard, expensive, human part — and the "prompt and review" model risks burning out the very engineers we need to catch what AI gets wrong. My latest for @leaddev.com leaddev.com/ai/shipping-...

Whoa 🤯 The Moon, in full eclipse, with the #Artemis II Orion spacecraft. Part of the Moon and spacecraft are lit by Earthshine, and both Saturn and Mars are visible to the lower right. Incredible. Details: images.nasa.gov/details/art0...

Note that it isn't an Artemis II pic (doesn't say it is, but lots of people are getting confused). It's from 2015, was taken using the EPIC camera on the DSCOVR satellite.

I hadn't seen this before. This is pretty remarkable. Earth and Moon in one NASA photo. ht @astrokatie.com

This thread is shocking in the best possible way.

Wanted to warn the #NodeJS community: This campaign is active. Thank you to the maintainers who shared their stories - some of these came frighteningly close. One got all the way to the fake meeting before walking away. The more we talk about this, the harder it is for these attacks to succeed.

right now the astronauts are calling houston because the computer on the spaceship is running two instances of microsoft outlook and they can't figure out why. nasa is about to remote into the computer

Very interesting argument from evidence from @jburnmurdoch.ft.com that prompts one question and one thought. Question: Is the magnitude of the effect the same? My guess is No.

🧵The Covid Inquiry’s latest reports have made one thing brutally clear: the first year of the pandemic - and especially the second Covid wave in winter 2020/21 - was devastating. Much of that devastation was avoidable. This 🧵: impact on NHS, impact on bereaved, and avoidable harm. 1/19
