The Lothians; today had 4m16s more daylight than yesterday and tomorrow will have more (4m15s). #daylightbot

Thank you to @startrekcc.bsky.social for this fun idea! 🖖🏻💚

why are french chocolate festivals lectures and visits from cacao producers trying new ways of fermentation and bean-to-bar places explaining the difference between conching methods and british ones are the same 16 remelters, two people selling cupcakes and a guy with a pallet of KitKats?

Opening bid: Sixty. Thousand. Pounds. I mean yes it's art, absolutely, but you could buy a brand new macbook with nearly enough RAM for that.

Daylight is changing, day by day. Today we get 4m18s more than yesterday and tomorrow we get 4m17s more than today. Every day, things change. #daylightbot

If you're watching Race Across The World and wondered what the board game they were playing on the train was, it's Togyzkumalak. #ratw en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togyzku...

Solidarity to the workers. #mayday

Reading papers about confectionery, and came across a reference to a paper from UC Cork about how sugar particle size affects the taste of brownies and I have never wanted to visit a university department more. When I retire I really want to do a PhD in that mashup of biosci/psych/food tech.

At Edinburgh/Glasgow latitudes today, daylight should last for 15:02:17 which is 4m20s more than yesterday! #daylightbot

`I *really* want to be in Bordeaux this weekend. www.festivalshowcolat.com

Uff da. Requires local access (or RCE), but... man, I don't think I've seen a promote-to-root vuln that easy to exploit in >20 years.

Weird sound moment when watching the Chernobyl dome documentary on BBC4 abd recognising some of the incidental music from Great British Menu.

A wholesome story for nerds: On Saturday, I was signing books at a local bookstore for Independent Bookstore Day. The store had a signing-palooza with new authors every hour; toward the end of my hour, a woman came up and asked what my book was about. "Dictionaries," I said, and she lit up. 1/n

Sharing Winter Postcard from Poet Seabird Island for April poetry month, the book published X2 years ago, the poem first appeared at The Fairy Piece in Dec '22

So anyway I found a secret spiral staircase at werk that leads to a previously undiscovered gents.

Cat gets you up at 5:10 because they're a dick? Make granola!

I'm concerned about immigrants, because they should not be having to jump through the ridiculous hoops every home secretary since 2010 has put in place to pander to racists. Immigration isn't a problem, the rhetoric around it is.

I used to be good at Computer. Now Computer thinks it is good at me. But it actually isn’t??????

Chocolaterie/patissierie. Exquisitely crafted, incredible confectionery, meticulously sourced, ethically produced (as far as possible) ingredients. I'd sell espresso cups of molten chocolate if people knew the password.

Given that many MP's spout garbage and have to be drunk to do their jobs, and have so much free time while doing their jobs that they can do the thing we pay them for and have a couple of side gigs, they could just relocate parliament to the nearest Spoons and nobody would notice.

Pylon is working on its triceps.

I think I probably sat this once or twice a year: when I was starting out in the world of work a pint at lunch was acceptable as long as you weren't too busy. In the '90s that changed to occy health offering help to people who were routinely drunk at work.

This is a very rich text www.theguardian.com/technology/2... and ultimately hints at the massive role FOMO has in AI policy. Everyone is guessing hard and crossing their fingers in the hope of a bit of Number Go Up

I am, indeed, wearing a light jacket. (Also a cardigan because I live on the coast and up until an hour ago there was a freezing haar)

Yes, you should read it for the moon stuff but I had a record-scratch moment at Tiger Balm being used in an oil burner? What? Do people actually do that? Why? It can't possibly be because it smells nice.

Today is #NationalPenguinDay so we're remembering that time we made a Penguin out of Penguin Books. It's a Penguin Penguin. 🐧

I had a day off and used it doing nice things like walking and maybe arranging a chocolate tasting and eating a vast amount of great Sri Lankan curries and now it feels like I have two Saturdays and when I do tiny discreet burps it tastes of cardamom.

Went for a walk. Saw a slow worm and was very excited because I have never seen a snake (yes, I know it isn't a true snake) in the wild before, and then an hour later saw an adder which absolutely made my day.

I love that without any evidence, on a civilisational level, we all just naturally assumed giant killer octopuses were a thing and we were right.

It had indeed been an error.

Stay well, feel as positive as you can. Today we get 14:35:52 of daylight. Tomorrow we get 4m28s more than today. If you can, take a stroll, breathe some air, get some light on your face. #daylightbot

Widespread issues with JISC/JANET.

Beryl Cook was a true LGBTQ+ ally: she donated artworks to AIDS fundraisers, she quietly supported a lot of queer people without making it about her, and with nothing to gain from her activism ❤️ 👍🏛️🍑 #MuseumBums "Bangs Disco" (the precursor to G-A-Y in London), 1977, at @theboxplymouth.bsky.social

Going past on the train I saw workmen on the roof of Aghtamar Lake Van Monastery in Exile, so I guess the expectation is the change of use plans will go through. #edinburgh

Not so niche, in fact. Last week, as you may have read, more than 200 authors quit Grasset, one of France's finest publishing houses, following its takeover by billionaire Vincent Bolloré. Bolloré also owns the railway bookshop chain Relay, whose windows are now full of titles by far-right figures.
