Or maybe option D – titles with a short summary ?
Both myself and Gary Hustwit are thrilled to be finalists in the Aesthetica Art Prize 2025. We’re thrilled to be featured alongside such a stellar line-up of artists. The work will be running live non-stop from 19th September at York Art Gallery where you can see all the short-listed works.
I just love this section at the end of your journal entries, @adactio! 🤩
If you’re thinking about buying #audio #plugins to improve the sound of your voice recordings or music, don’t make the same mistake I made – don’t buy Waves. Buy Toneboosters, Kiive, Klanghelm, Tokyo Dawn Labs, Fuse Audio Labs, Kazrog, Noiseash, et al.
And, of course, try out all the fantastic free plugins out there first! You might not need to spend any (or at least very little) money on plugins at all… 😉
Maybe I should write a few blog posts about the best free and paid plugins 🤔

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]
Does anyone know of a place to find Mastodon accounts for newspapers, media outlets, and also tech related journals/publications? TIA.
