Symphony Hall is bloody amazing.

As a Rubyist of 13 years who doesn’t live in the US or attend US conferences. Other than sending me emails with lots of words - what does Ruby Central actually do?

I genuinely convinced a supply maths teacher I only had one arm once (I got very bored at school sometimes), which got awkward when she turned out to be there for a week rather than a day. This reminds me of that.

Banning trail hunting and addictive features of social media. Labour’s main problem is a PR one, because I’m here for this.

Met a childhood hero today

Nick Clegg unveiled a portrait of himself at the National Liberal Club yesterday and it's hard to tell which one looks less like Nick Clegg, the portrait of Nick Clegg or the actual Nick Clegg

YES www.otherstrangeness.com/2026/03/14/h... We mostly pulled Cotteridge Park off Facebook/Instagram/Twitter years ago. No announcements there, and it's not a source of truth for anything We've got a website. cotteridgepark.org.uk And if you really want us, you know where the park is. Come say hi.

New Scrubs is excellent. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.

Well I guess this explains a lot, but wow I hate it.

i, for one, am delighted that we finally have a definition of “woke”

More and more I don't like crufts. An "isolated incident" of criminal animal abuse should mean you don't get to have dogs anymore. The fact the KC knew, and did nothing is gross. www.kinship.com/news/crufts-...

I almost missed that in a video where the former Chancellor of the Exchequer talks about "Institutional Credibility", the video misspells the word "credibility", which kind of sums this whole thing up

Moved my personal site to @pagecord.com which is basically all I ever wanted from a personal site! max.woolf.io

Winston, our adopted, withdrawn guide dog turned 10 today. He didn’t make it through training due to “low motivation” but has enjoyed 9 years with us so far doing nothing but being adored and warming my feet at work. It’s a hard life.

"claude is alive and has anxiety" do you people hear yourselves??? its a text generator

of course it has anxiety, you’re training it on multiple generations of anxious peoples’ content

OH: "I turned off news alerts because alerts are only useful if they're actionable"

Cotteridge Park looking fabulous as usual.

That's a whole sentence of stuff people do not want or asked for.

Xero charging £5/mo to access my own data via MCP. Absolutely not.

Man it really feels insane watching the global order break down in front of me. like is my anxiety disorder especially bad today, or am I aware of how supply chains work and able to read the news

This is where I YET AGAIN encourage people, especially creators, to have, develop and actively maintain their own websites where people can find you, away from the social media sites you don't own and/or can't control and/or whose discoverability algorithms are at the whim of billionaire weirdos.

So we got autonomous OpenAI kill bots and another war in the Middle East before 9am on Saturday.

did you know that the highest paid actor in hollywood from 2015 to 2018 was jim parsons, the lead actor in 'the big bang theory'

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

Hey. Tell people when they do good job. When you like the stuff they make. When you like the characters they’ve created. The stories they’ve told. Nobody hears it as often as you think bc everyone thinks everyone hears it all the time. Trust. They don’t. Tell. Them.

Reminds of the “probably the best beer” ads. You can say anything if you prefix it with “probably”.

Our local tories are running on “keeping bin collections weekly”. Do folks still care about this? Birmingham doesn’t even do food waste and I never fill my wheelie bin weekly. Seems like the perfect thing to cut?

For comparison: the 1941 SS floor plan blueprint for the Auschwitz II - Birkenau concentration camp in Poland:

What's more shocking than ICE's plan to cram as many 8,500 humans into massive, soul-crushing warehouses? Seeing the actual DHS floor plan that echoes slavery ships and history's worst gulags with no rec space but a gun range for guards My new column on the camps www.inquirer.com/opinion/ice-...

I’ve found it, I’ve found the worst take

My employer keeps a YAML file of the pets that everyone owns and occasionally I’ll flick through it just because it’s adorable. about.gitlab.com/company/team...

We're looking for two Backend Ruby on Rails Web Developers to work with us remotely as part of the core team. Ideally you are: 1. Very experienced with Ruby on Rails 2. Proficient in PostgreSQL, and familiar with Redis and Elasticsearch 3. Experienced in developing maintainable and scalable […]

And she'd be right

Staggering that 24% of voters in this advanced country continue to believe in a bunch of entitled bigots with unworkable policies, whose very ideas put us in the abject chaos we are in. Truly God awful idiots, and I make no apology for saying that.

Tons of folks use corporate VPNs as a work-from-home requirement. If the UK government puts VPNs behind an age-gate, will those employees have to undergo age-verification checks outside of their employer? Surely not...

“He wanted to get back to his agents” haunts me. Let’s absolutely not do this.

A group of volunteers have been running @nhshackday.com since 2012. In a crazy world, it is all about coming together with common purpose to solve problems in our health service. Please reshare this post about #30 in Cardiff Mar 21/22. We would love to have you join us. ti.to/nhshackday/3...

Last time I had my recycling collected, Joe Biden was still president

I made an app that tracks the value of savings, pensions and home equity. No clever open banking, just a weekly reminder to update the values yourself. Made it for me, but released it for everyone! apps.apple.com/gb/app/worth...

don't love that www.heroku.com/blog/an-upd...

no (saved you a click) nesbitt.io/2026/01/30/...

At the speed of AI assisted development, capturing intent via instrumentation is *vital*. Validating that intent in production is *non negotiable*. Fast feedback loops, rich instrumentation, clear intent. This is the way. The ONLY way.

1. Interesting to see Reform abandon its flirtation with nativism / birth rate boosterism in favour of the policy of the last Tory government 2. “Starve a kid for a cheaper pint” is quite the policy. Be interested to see how that performed in focus groups (especially all male versus mixed).

Ok, let’s do this🙄 We’ll start with an explainer covering: 🕒What is a 15-minute city 🏫What on Earth is going on with Oxford 👽Where the conspiracy theories have come from And then we’ll look at the Telegraph article 🧵 1/25
