Feels like an appropriate time to revisit this era of Public Service Broadcasting music.youtube.com/watch?v=u3ca...

I know this confirms I'm a nerd but I absolutely love this... Digital versions of retro train information boards, including this familiar classic! Nice work, @serailway.bsky.social and Network Rail. #200YearsOfTrainTravel

This is great to see. The original commitment we made was to half CO2 emissions by 2027, and so to have gone beyond that already is a fantastic achievement.

London bus stop. #Swasticar

I gave Google Notebook LM my job description and asked it to summarise what I do for a 5 year old. Quite pleased with the result! (4 x 🧵)

I let a Ukrainian nissan cut in front of me earlier because they were in the wrong lane, and found myself muttering "f12k Trump" as if somehow these things are all connected. Little acts of rebellion.

A great show tonight, thanks @mogwai.scot ! Top support from Cloth and Kathryn Joseph too.

I think I've reached a new level of being comfortable in my own skin, as I'm at a gig on my own tonight. Looking forward to seeing #Mogwai for the first time, at Brixton Academy.

I recently gave blood for the first time in years, and I'm super impressed that you now get told where your blood ended up! (As in which hospital, not as in Mrs Smith from 42 Cherry Orchard Grove, Ipswich)

The modern phenomenon of the Haunted Cereal Bowl has bothered me for years

A further thought... Surely NOW is the moment and the opportunity for Britain to get back closer to Europe? We're stronger together.

I have misplaced a John Lewis gift voucher & really want to buy a toaster. So now I know exactly how that bloke with all the bitcoin in a rubbish dump feels.

Like most I'm pretty horrified by JD Vance courting the far right in Europe. 100 years on from the first rise of fascism, the echoes of history are growing louder.

It was a pleasure to join the @civilsociety.bsky.social #ESGImperative conference today, taking part in a panel discussion on how we don't need to wait for regulation to start reporting on the positive work we do! Plus, it was nice to catch up with @datakilljoy.bsky.social too!

Treated myself to a shiny new Garmin as my old one was knackered, and I've spent most of this evening changing the colours on the watch faces and setting up the data fields just how I like them.

Little acts of resistance!

I have booked 10 Tesla test drives this week using fake details. I don't turn up to any of them.

The legend of how I'd brushed my arm along a saw and not noticed was often brought up at school, like I was some kind of hard man. Nobody realised clumsiness and low physical sensitivity might be signs of something!

Today was a busy but fun day, talking customer experience, then the world of charity finance with CIPFA, coffee and a catch up with @datakilljoy.bsky.social, before heading back to Parkinson's UK HQ for some meetings with my team. Rounded off by making my 3 year old giggle like crazy before bed!

Is @stateoflinkedin.bsky.social on here? Apparently my competitors are using AI to eat my lunch! Send help!

Isn't it ironic, don't ya think? #DeepSeek

My trains were all delayed by a fallen tree, including the specific one I was aiming for. Then a mysterious empty train arrived when mine was due. I am wondering if I've crossed over to another dimension.

Yes it was a Nazi salute. Only fools, cowards and fellow travellers won’t say out loud what he is now.

Had a lovely evening at my running club's annual quiz last night... Even if we were runners up for the 4th year running!

It's been reasonably well established ADHD/Autistic individuals have lower life expectancies. Often this is caused by a lack of adjustments to enable us to access equal healthcare. Add this to the many reasons we need better investment in support and diagnosis. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Honestly dealing with my local council is like trying to deal with the Vogons. I've been trying to deal with a Council Tax issue since October! I'm just going around in circles with people who can't do maths 🤦🏻‍♂️

This particular generation have had such a bad deal, and if we don't reverse this trend I fear more and more young people will turn to populists, as we're seeing across Europe.

Who made this 🤣

It's not much, but it's something, so my act of resistance today is to subscribe to the @bylinetimes.bsky.social #TruthNotTrump

Fascists and they're not even hiding it. This is a dark day.

And he knows exactly what this is

Can a headline alone be eligible for a Pulitzer?
