I've heard the UK song. It's giving Wilson Philips, Olivia Rodrigo, and Queen and I love it. #eurovision

Breaking: James Bond franchise under Amazon to pivot to more billionaire-villain-sympathetic storylines.

We're at the "I don't understand many of the questions" phase of #UniversityChallenge

Worthy Champions! #OnlyConnect

Evenin' All. Let's get the final on. #OnlyConnect

Christiane Amanpour is killing it. #BBCLauraK

Starmer did a good job on #BBCLauraK in the face of some really stupid questions. #ukpol

The three main party leaders are on #BBCLauraK this morning. Expecting a united front #ukpol #uspol #ukraine

I've been looking at the background of Branden Spikes, the senior member of DOGE who is director of IT over at X (his OG email is [email protected]). Prior to joining up with Musk, Spikes ran a company called Spikes Browser, which tried to create a sandboxed browser […] [Original post on infosec.exchange]

A huge amount of communication amongst men happens by micro expression and I presume the same is true about women. So I drive my wife to a gala for her charity. She's setting up and doing board member things so I go to a bookstore for a while then come back with time to kill. /1

Thanks to @Nickiquote for prompting me to retake my Political Compass. I have moved from essentially Blairite 20 years ago to here

Today is Delete Whatsapp day. I'm very happy and excited. I'm also feeling enormously blessed that 99% of people went "Sure, we'll follow you to Signal" without any hard work. #ProjectDeMeta

There is something really repulsive about the fact that Fox News and CNN are now having long debates about the clothes Zelenskyy wore to The White House, and whether it was a problem, he did not wear a tie. It must be really awkward for all US servicemen and women who know what it takes to […]

Escaping from all the existential nonsense with the wondeful Sturgill Simpson tonight #music #london

[The Oval Office] I finally watched the news. It was Vance. He kicked it off and it looks like he wanted the fight. #uspol

Can't even look at the news. Have seen the headlines. Fuck sake

Starmer better not have give up the King without getting anything for it. #ukpol #uspol #royalty

Planets look nice tonight

Based on the initial reporting, which doesn't seem to know a lot, it seems likely that once again Trump has made a lot of noise and then done a crap deal that the other side are happy to have done. #Trump #Ukraine

Did well on the Worlds Best Restaurants round yesterday #UniversityChallenge

I deleted an inaccurate post

I would have said "...week to quit sniffing glue" on the basis that it was the five last words in the quote, and I suspect Victoria wouldn't have given it to me. #OnlyConnect

as a eurovision fan i am prepared 🗳️ #BTW2025 | #Bundestagswahl

Es gehts los. Stand by for exit poll at the top of the hour #Bundestagwahl #GermanyDecides #depol

It is very hard to accept, but it is no longer safe to move EU governments & societies to US clouds. Not only is it dangerous to do so, it is also likely flat out illegal in the near feature. We're trading convenience for utter dependence on a mad king. It should stop […]

Viel Glück heute, Deutschland. Bitte wählen Sie gut. Die Welt schaut zu.

This week's Guardian Blind Date is the best thing that's happened in 2025 so far. Here, as I like to read it, mediated by The Guyliner: https://theguyliner.com/impeccable/grainne-and-alexander

At some point we have to treat this as what it is. Enemy action. https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/21/meta-x-approved-ads-containing-violent-anti-muslim-antisemitic-hate-speech-ahead-of-german-election-study-finds/

Another Super Saturday done. Deezer playlist updated - https://www.deezer.com/us/playlist/13362797563 #Eurovision

Kaarija on RUV #songvakeppnin #Eurovision

February: Guessing in a variety of European languages how to say "No, I don't want cookies" #Eurovision

Lena? Is that you? #ChefsacheESC #Eurovision

Vaeb the most enjoyable song in #songvakeppnin so far. Very Jedward-esque. Vocals could do with some improvement but it grabs the attention and is fun. #eurovision

Golden Child is nice and I'd listen to it. I don't think it would do well for Germany at Eurovision though. #ChefsacheESC #Eurovision

Play Jaja Ding Dong! #songvakeppnin #OldJokes #Eurovision

Guy mentions Prince in his VT then plays this. Ugh #ChefsacheESC #Eurovision

THE ICELANDERS ARE DOING LA LA LAND!! #songvakeppnin #Eurovision

Really enjoyed Cosby! A bit of indie rock at Eurovision would be no bad thing. #ChefsacheESC #Eurovision

Måns was probably good enough to get DtF tonight. The staging was good. I don't think it was a Eurovision winner (or necessarily a Melfest winner). #Melfest #Mello Now to #Songvakeppnin with #ChefsacheESC on my laptop. #Eurovision
