We finally finished Season 4 of The Bear last night. Wonderful, simply wonderful. This season has been the epitome of why ‘show, don’t tell’ is so powerful. https://media.tenor.com/1CBRHjSMztoAAAAC/nose-tap-the-bear.gif?hh=353&ww=498
Good grief. Just went to check my DM on Bluesky and had to age verify...
On the up-side, apparently I look my age 😂
My first engagement with ChatGPt Agent...
Me: "What's the next event on my calendar?"
Agent: Thinks
Agent: Thinks more
Me: Goes to make tea.
Time passes.
Agent: "Your next event is daily stand-up today at 9:05AM."
"Also, apologies, but I seem to have deleted the previous event in your calendar. Would you like me to restore it?"
How is it that within 10 minutes of the Online Safety Act, Ofcom is investigating 34 porn sites, yet in 30 years of disability legislation in the UK there hasn't been a single instance of case law for websites or apps because the EHRC has signally failed to support people with disabilities even when there is a strong case to be made? 😩
It’s bloody brilliant! Passionate humans with a story to tell, executed immaculately with the most killer soundtrack! [contains quote post or other embedded content]
… aaaand two months after the warranty expired, the Bosch CityMower is dead. 😔 I had mustered all the choice-supportive bias that’s in me to make me believe for a little while that although the thing felt like plastic trash, it is “lightweight” and that “it’s a Bosch.” I should have known better … ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Best post day ever!!! Arcane S1 and AKIRA on 4K UHD Blu-ray!
Oooof! Loads of formative ones for me!! [contains quote post or other embedded content]

America has withdrawn from UNESCO. Again. Apparently it's not in its "national interests".
I take this to mean that #MAGA thinks that UNESCO World Heritage sites... like the Statue of Liberty, Monticello, the Grand Canyon, Yosemite and Yellowstone National Parks, Independence Hall, the Hawaii Volcanoes, or the Carlsbad Caverns, are not in its best interests.
I created digital versions of my son’s Axolotl toys, for our ‘Strange Kids’ venture! Using Spline 3D, each of the three toy colourways come with a QR code that lets the owner play with this in-browser! Sully came up with the names of the characters, their attacks, costs and HP! strangekids.toys
It sparkles on my machine. 😁🪄✨
