Come on M&S, you can do better. You've dropped multiple balls around outsourcing and customer data, but not updating your SPF record? That's silly. At least check it works before sending out a mass notification that'll end up in most people's spam folders. #cyberattack #marksandspencer #outsourcing

I gave in and impulse bought some of it while in London. It doesn't particularly stand out in any way and if you're an idiot like me and forgetb to fridge it, it's so soft it'll squish in your fingers before snapping. C+

Starting to think the chasm of political ability between the Russians and the US is best explained with a clip from a favourite TV show of mine www.youtube.com/watch?v=0f64... #politics #Ukraine #sigh

The drama surrounding the current US government is so rich and endless that I wonder if it's making political TV series obsolete. We even get a new episode more than once a week! The only downside is that the acting is shite #politics #signal #warplans #circus

I see what people mean when they say Google search is shit now. I'm trying to outfit my workshop with new equipment and every time I search for power tools it shows me Elon Musk

Cooking up some leftovers: roast chicken breast with fried skin, butter-fried vegetables cooked in the wok, and some Jollof rice from the bank of the fridge that I revived. Not fancy, but really comforting. #food #cooking #leftovers #sproooouuuuts

It's reassuring to see subreddits taking a stance against Nazi nonsense by banning X links. I can't imagine what sort of hell-scape X will be in a few months when all that's left is hatred, denial, and coping memes. Bleurgh. Thank you, BlueSky, for existing. #bluesky #politics #fucknazis

This is my first foray into post-apocalypse cooking, after a few misunderstandings about what appliances I needed over the weekend left me with a sink, one working hob, an obnoxious strip light, and the little oven that could barely. #kitchen #renovation #cooking #fallout

I love that Grease can be set alight and used as a tremendously effective area denial. I'm not even sure that's in pen & paper D&D but if it isn't, it should be! #baldursgate3 #d&d #firehazard

Just started Baldur's Gate 3 to keep me going over Christmas. My god this game is good, and the polish is obvious. Definitely seems to be a worthy successor to BG2 so far! #baldursgate3 #d&d

I'm reminding myself of the 80's classic in preparation for next year's remake. The next two hours will be a journey into my childhood, as I rip back the curtain of nostalgia to reveal the truth of how well this has aged. Probably badly but oh well here we gooooo! #movies #therunningman #spandex

I'm looking at my backlog from this year alone and I see Satisfactory 1.0, Factorio's expansion, Stalker 2, Tactical Breach Wizards, Warhammer 40K: Rogue Trader (2023 but it counts!), and Farming Simulator: Not Enough Energy to Play Anything Else edition. Busy year. #gaming #steam #backlog
