Just invented a dead easy pork glaze: a tablespoon each of HP sauce and light soy sauce, a teaspoon of hot pepper sauce, a dollop of cooking oil (probably about half a tablespoon) stirred vigorously in a small ramekin and then spooned onto the pork.

I have said all along there is no need or excuse for 'phone or tablet "apps". The only reason companies push them onto users is to have code execution access to the device to monitor other behaviours. I was called paranoid. The Cassandra curse raising its head yet again. www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Where can I get an adult-sized plastic cutlass of decent quality? (UK, counter purchase in London preferably.)

Lads, one of the many, many reasons I'm not on Twitter anymore is so I never have to see JK Rowling's words ever again. Please, please stop screengrabbing her and posting her here. We already know. x

Firefox has been slipping down a long slippery slope for quite some time. Sadly, it's now falling over the edge. www.theregister.com/2025/06/17/o... The trouble is, Chrome is no better, and Chromium only slightly less so.

I am so glad that next door is occupied by a family again. The sounds of innocent chaos in the garden are a joy to hear.

Two huge movie studios are suing Midjourney, claiming the firm’s AI has been trained on their copyrighted material – the entrance of the Hollywood giants into this legal fight could be a watershed moment for AI and copyright

look on the bright side - someday, if your kids put in enough overtime at the factory, they might be able to afford the 2-Day All Inclusive Hidden Nature Resort Pass to see public land that used to be free

@talkingpicturestv.bsky.social Have you pulled the wrong episode of Doomwatch? I was watching episode 22, and got to 36 minutes and I can't watch it any further. Episodes 23 and 21 available in the index.

Apparently, my password on my Roundcube webmail on my own domain is about to expire. I got an email from myself in Luxembourg to tell me this. Which is odd, because I don't have Roundcube email. 😆

AMEN

So - VirginMedia want to enforce an account email change so that they can use email as MFA. What utter fucking morons! a) Their "new email" confirmation link expires before it can be used (even when it is delivered and used in under 60 seconds); and

“Automated license plate recognition software technology is something that in and of itself, communities are really concerned about,” Well it fucking well should be. Mass surveillance is mass surveillance. www.404media.co/emails-revea...

Appearing in a video wearing a white lab coat doesn't turn pseudoscientific bunkum into valid research. Just in case you didn't know.

The situation in the US is getting incrementally worse by the day in the US. NYC mayoral candidate Brad Lander detained by ICE while attending an immigration hearing.

So, TfL's latest consultation on traffic measures haveyoursay.tfl.gov.uk/congestion-c... includes a proposal to increase the congestion charge from £15 to £18, but also to discount it for electric vehicles.

I can't migrate "premium" domains to @beasts, unfortunately. Where is there that is more competent and cheaper than the current-day Gandi for a .online, .space, and .webcam domain?

LinkedIn just recommended a complete stranger to as a potential connection. (Nothing new there.) The funny part is she is listed as a "Handover Manager" (presumably meaning project delivery), but I *read* it as "Hangover Manager" and thought "I know a few people who could benefit from that."

It's the little details. Virgin still fucking up email. And they can't even get the account summary page right any more.

BREAKING: Reports on Orange Mussolini’s parade attendance are in… 200,000 were expected — only 8,647 bothered to showed up. 😂 Meanwhile, everywhere else…👇

I'm going to post this video every day so we never forget what the 34x convicted felon & adjudicated rapist Trump did. 🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕🖕

Facial recognition going wrong. #WhoddaThunkIt www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Y'know how disposable vapes are now illegal to sell in the UK? Well there's nothing to stop vendors repeatedly selling "re-usable" vapes, which is exactly what is happening. People are just throwing them away and replacing them regardless.

Israel playing a very dangerous game. www.bbc.co.uk/news/live/c9...

Three High Court judges have dismissed a legal challenge over the government's policy of adding VAT to private school fees. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Not taking anything away from Senator Padilla because he was treated atrociously But I JUST want to remind everyone that the Congresswoman LaMonica McIver, a Black woman, was just indicted for just asking questions at an ICE detention center in her state Keep that same energy of support for her

Hmmm... #Savatage without Jon Oliva. Is it worth it?

James Burke is a smart guy, but ... oops. youtu.be/q3XoLycc9io?...
