Resurrected another old bot: Get This Party Started, which posts every time someone attempts to register a new UK political party. @parties-started.bsky.social

Everything is terrible but Boards of Canada are mailing out mysterious VHS tapes teasing a new album so at least we have a soundtrack for the end times www.reddit.com/r/boardsofca...

My shower in Malaysia has an option I don't really want to try

Ed Miliband implies the existence of Ed Megaband

Remember my old bot that posted every rejected parliament petition? I've resurrected it on both Bluesky and Mastodon. Let the chaos begin.

Move last and hate things

If you're wondering how things are going, we just took ownership of an arcade cabinet running a DOOM mod where you battle mecha-spider Margaret Thatcher so

It's mine, I tell you. My own. My precious.

You know your hobby has got out of control when the monthly update zoom call has 40 people on it. And they are just the team leads.

I don't know how we're expecting to make a Dyson Sphere, the guy can barely build a functioning vacuum cleaner

My local industrial gas supplier also wanted people to know this recently

When you leave your laptop on the floor and the robot vacuum sees it as a challenge

Rewrote the @emfcamp.bsky.social scheduler expecting a 2-3x performance improvement. Actually got 150-800x. We are now rescheduling the festival every second. Keep up.

VICTORY! Government to open up the Land Registry - bringing to an end a thousand years of secrecy shrouding who owns England. I’ve been campaigning for this for ten years: the new Land Use Framework, published later today, makes it government policy. 1/ www.theguardian.com/environment/...

"We have been offered a moon", "are there safe places to burn effigies", "your payphone has been collected", "our researchers were surprised to find they did it on the toilet" and other such conversations I have had today

The person next to me is very slowly writing an email beginning "Please carefully look out for any typoos"

After six years of searching, I finally have one

A squirrel chewed through a piece of dyneema in order to raid our bird feeders and I'm finding it hard to be mad at such a well executed heist

Someone buzzed our doorbell just to show us their bum

We just wanted to go camping for a weekend. 14 years later I am calculating tickets-per-second.

This round of ticket sales has sold out. If you had a ticket in your basket but it vanished, some people have found that logging in lets them recover it: www.emfcamp.org/login We will re-enable ticket sales for those with vouchers shortly.

To those of you about to try and buy @emfcamp.bsky.social tickets: I wish you luck. There will be more ticket rounds, and the CFP will open soon.

This is the warning on the blood pressure monitor my dad just got. Exceptional work. Anybody know what the fuck it’s supposed to mean? Last line is especially ominous

Sources say he's planning nonsense with payphones again

Extremely cursed adapter. Someone please ban my aliexpress account.

Just because people publish a lot on the internet doesn't mean they are right

Today a bunch of my open-source projects got slammed by incorrect AI-written vulnerability reports demanding $299 for disclosure

Previously a junior developer would have said "Jonty, no" to my hilariously bad ideas, but now the LLM says "You're right!" and vanishes down a hole to build my disco torment nexus. Which is to say: I'm very sorry in advance.

Some words used for the first time in parliament yesterday: boinging, thinspiration, unfriend, kiddo, perkiness

FUCK. Rob was incredible, thanklessly struggling against the major labels for the last 26 years to curate one of the most important databases of our age.

Anyone saying local journalism is dead hasn't been following London Centric, who are knocking it out of the park on a weekly basis. Essential reading if you're a Londoner - a subscription I have no hesitation paying.

Earlier I stopped my bike to retrieve a ping-pong ball from the road for a small child who insisted on giving me a fist-bump and declared I was "a saint". I've had worse days.

Five years ago I pointed out nearly all NFT's were going to break when the startup who minted them goes bust, causing people to get extremely mad at me until everyone concluded that I was correct. Thought I'd check in on the two examples I used and well

So about that proposed ticket scalping ban. The face value is £35.

Apologies to my neighbours for flying a drone at near midnight. In my defence, I wanted to try and see a big laser 5km away and their houses were in the way.

Status is red Its normally blue L2 support Is paging you

If you're in London, look towards Limehouse on Saturday night

For the last three years I've been saying that collectively we are unprepared for how weird things are going to get, and I was definitely unprepared for this post

I believe in Rook's Basilisk - you must help birds through the winter, because when corvids finally rise up against us they will remember everything. Always say hello to a crow.
