I was just told that I have to remove “climate” from the title of an ongoing grant if I want to keep it. And publications from that grant cannot include “climate” and other forbidden words. I can’t believe I’m writing this from the United States of America. #AcademicSky

I live a perfectly commutable distance from central London. I had to get there before 9 for a job recently, train being the only option. It cost me £100.

New iPhone update has tweaked the calculator and it now has a converter thing. It’ll do currencies, volume, weight, and (most helpfully for me) newton metres to lb ft. PRAISE BE! Hit the calc pic bottom left, press convert, choose your units.

Took a giant leap closer to being middle aged today. A man came to clean the carpets and I’m genuinely excited about how great they look now.

My daughter told me I should post my OC (original character) on BlueSky because she thinks people will love him. His name is H3RBERT, an infinitely positive alien who was discovered by a scientist when his tiny spacecraft was accidentally dragged down to earth with a returning space probe.

This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm. The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him. Happy Black History Month.

Very occasionally my pics get used without knowledge/consent. Had an instance sent to me the other day. Huge podcast used summat in an insta reel. Not angry, but very disappointed. Pretty sure I’d get lawyered to death if I did the same to their work.

There’s a stretch of the M4 lowered to a 60mph limit for emissions reasons. It’s right next to Heathrow.

Sometimes something as simple as a text message can make a life changing difference. Got a friend you’ve not spoken to in a while? Drop them a text. Doesn’t have to be huge gestures that make a difference, a simple text can be the first domino.

Doom scrolling is great right now because The Doom is always fresh. It used to be The Doom would get stale after a day or 2 but now the horrors are unending 😊
