One week they're crying about people getting visits from the police because of tweets, the next week they're calling for inquiries into tweets.

I lived around the corner from Welsh International Daniel James. Only knew he lived there when I walked the kids to the bus stop and saw him loading his stuff into a van after his big money move to ManU

If you’d normally buy me a Ko-fi this month or just fancy being generous before New Year, I’d really appreciate if you donated to this instead ❤️ All proceeds go to The Brain Tumour Charity.

Dubious: It’s Duneing time

Sportsperson of the Year 2025 Announced

Wisdom from the old man

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

I don’t want to be all “you can’t say anything anymore” but your nature-themed baby names are not a protected characteristic

Celebrity #Gladiators is just a bit of fun but I hope they look at the rules for the proper show. Vogue being able to opt-out of an entire challenge in the Eliminator and then go on to win just feels wrong.

The government failed at actually redacting the Epstein files because DOGE cancelled the feds adobe acrobat premium subscription is the funniest shit.

Two things can be true. - Being a cult member of Trump’s and praising him like he’s some savior and intelligent businessman comparable to Jesus and chosen is dangerous. -Hating Trump so much you’re a different type of fan is dangerous. Prioritizing hate for him over what’s right, is wrong.

Guys "Bondi Beach was fine because it was an anti-Zionist attack not an antisemitic one" is not as cool an argument as you might think because even if everyone at that Chanuka party was an Israeli waving Israeli flags it would still be deeply fucked up to just go open fire on them

@eleanormorton.bsky.social @misterabk.bsky.social loving podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/e... but on the Christmas episode, is the Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe the first book with children chosen ones? At CHRISTmas?

If you pay attention to any large industry long enough and follow it to its logical conclusion you eventually end up sounding like a communist even if you started off testing CPU case fans. youtu.be/cUrJVdF2me0?...

Breaking: Autistic community preemptively rejects David Walliams

It's a minor element to the Walliams stuff but I like to hope that this will finally put the kibosh on only commissioning children's books from celebrities because that's the best way to get them to sell but I doubt it will. It's a small coda to all this but that's one of my absolute pet hates.

@charalanahzard.bsky.social looks like HumbleBundle outdid your parody. Proceeds from teaching women and girls to not code goes to a non-profit that wants to teach women and girls how to code www.humblebundle.com/software/com...

oh my god

“A Christmas quiz on a Teams video call would act as a powerful deterrent. Especially if we make them wear Santa hats with little bells on the end.”

@animeigo.com got my Black Friday sale items through customs just in time for Christmas. That’s my holidays sorted

Again I say: how fucking interesting that remote work technology is bad and not worth adopting despite all research pointing to productivity gains, but genAI which offers NOTHING is so important to adopt and force on people who have no use for it despite all the horrible things genAI does

🧨 When I first saw the Together Against the Far Right march announced I was immediately cautious because there was no mention of trans discrimination being part of the issue in their promotional material. Huge thank you to @mimmymum.bsky.social for doing the digging which addresses my concerns.

Throwback to the Xmas when I spoofed mobile game ads too accurately, and no one clicked on the video.

You get away with a lot less saying it to the customer, so if they were emboldened enough to say it to them, they were much more emboldened to say it to colleagues.

They invited Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor to the Harry Potter set THIS SEPTEMBER?!?

Have the same energy for this as when JK Rowling started sharing Matt Walsh (Daily Wire) video clips. If you find your views aligning with Nazis and you don’t self-reflect, congrats, you are the Nazi bar.

👥 The ECHR exists to protect our most fundamental rights. Chipping away at it to pander to the far-right risks undermining those core values. Labour are trying to out-Reform Reform on immigration, but our human rights should never be sacrificed for political point-scoring.

Human rights protect every one of us - they must never be rolled back. 😠 Farage wants to drag us out of the ECHR ✊ Plaid Cymru will always defend our rights. Stop Farage's agenda and choose a Wales that puts fairness first - vote Plaid Cymru this May. #HumanRightsDay #UDHR #ECHR

I said it before, will say it again -- generative AI fetishizes "ideas" while sneering at effort, execution, and education. That, despite Gen-AI being built on and out of other people's effort, execution and education.

if you were to make a gender-swapped version of James Bond, and needed to come up with a bawdy euphemism name for a glamorous and sexy Bond Boy, ironically you could do a lot worse than Roger Moore.

So annoying that companies that promote GenAI and LLMs called it AI and didn’t differentiate it from the advanced machine learning algorithms and tools that enable so many great things that are also AI but actually solving a problem, and good.

"Mike's on his phone, Mike couldn't care less. It makes me want to cry" Ooof. Representative from Covid bereaved families group calls out Welsh Labour politician for being on his phone "all the way through" their discussion about Covid response in Wales. More in today's newsletter (see comments)

@quietriotpod.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social busy week. Calibri is now woke. #WokeyDokey

The most revolutionary thing you can do is getting to know your neighbors

In case you're wondering what Twitter is like these days.

@quietriotpod.bsky.social @sturdyalex.bsky.social @pimlicat.bsky.social a festive WokeyDokey contender.

If the reporting on the Peggie decision tells us anything, it should be that the way news gets reported in this country has little to do with truth, and much more to do with narrative - as well as whose heavily spun press release lands on journos desks first.

Kishwer Falkner in The Times talking about the rights of "biological people". As compared to trans people, who are, of course, non-biological.

Co-Pilot is currently running an advert of a negotiation where a woman types in 'what's the minimum we can sell for and still hit Q3 targets' This is *mental*, this person should obviously know this backwards! It's her literal job!

www.theguardian.com/commentisfre... brilliant from @willhaycardiff.bsky.social I'd say getting the C word treatment from Reform is a badge of honour and clear sign of what the people of Wales would be stark raving mad to elect into power. Mae hyn yn wych Will.

Warner Bros. wasn't even up for sale. Big bad Paramount just decided they wanted it, Warner was like "Wait, we can sell this thing?" and now Paramount doesn't even get it. What an absolutely stupid chain of events.

Retired ghost train animatronic Streeting said: “I’m so nervous. What if he picks up? What if he’s seen this ADHD thing and gone ‘Attaboy, Streeting! Why don’t you come to the White House and play a round of golf with me and my friends? They’re your friends now, too, Wes, and so am I’?”

OTD in 1994 Russia signed the Budapest memo, guaranteeing Ukraine's territorial integrity in exchange for their nukes, 44 Ukrainian Tu-22 heavy bombers and 1,068 Kh-55 cruise missiles. Which have been fired at Ukraine in this war.

That feels too much like an attack aimed at me and only me

What's worrying is that I've heard this "overdiagnosis" line from perfectly rational people, who have been primed to a) be frightened of neurodivergence in their own kids and b) assume everyone else is on the make while they're the sucker playing fair.

Played this and enjoyed it much better than What Remains of Edith Finch. It’s not as inventive but much better story telling and a better emotional hook.

The transgender experience in the UK right now is basically just waking up to discover what else you've been banned from.
