Dear cis people, It's well past the point where this kind of thing will fix everything, but I want you to take note of how easy this is. These little freaks are soft-handed little babies that will fold like a napkin in the rain. Light these fools up.

Two days later, Gen 2 Chromecasts are still borked worldwide, due apparently to an expired certificate. People doing a factory reset end up having them brick entirely. No official annoucement from Google themselves on the cause, nor a timescale for the fix. Really isn't on.

Looks like Google has just bricked my 2nd Generation Chromecast. Deeply unimpressed.

viral tweet from a dream i just had where a population of space elves made first contact with earth via the internet

It means they are one day going to be the subject of a retrospective at the BFI.

Some game consoles have a beep. Some game consoles have a startup check. And then, there is the FM Towns Marty.

Year end is going to be a particularly wearying one for me this time around. Been in low spirits for much of today, lot of things keeping me from my chargeable work. Tonight's rehearsal was Sunrise, Sunset though, and it's proper rejuvinated me.

Ooof, been a while since I was this tired after a work week. Month end + the extra work on that Cilex report + not enough sleep last night. I underestimated how much it would all take a bite out of me.

Yahtzee going from the edgiest, snarkiest, most cynical video game critic of the 2000s to a father-of-two who semi-regularly gets deep in his dad feels over arty indie games is one hell of an arc

I LOVE IT AND I WANT IT

Right, come on Self, last big push on this CILEx report. You've left the whole "rush it at the final minute" bullshit behind you, killed it stone dead when you did your last round of exams. You can get it done tonight if you wanted to and you know it. Come on. Get typing.

OMG. The AI video of Trump kissing Elon Musk’s feet is currently being broadcast INSIDE the federal Department of Housing & Urban Development. This footage from the cafeteria was shared with Vox. DOGE & Musk has laid off half the Department’s workforce. (🎥 Vox)

Note how the modern techbro AI evangelical movement also is actively attempting to crush reasoning, art, and empathy.

All things considered, that was a MUCH better end to this week than its beginning. Still a bit narked off I basically had to write off the last day of my annual leave, especially since I had that set aside for doing my CILEx report, but *hey ho tish and fipsy*

UK Neurodivergents beware!! NHS England is trying to gut Right To Choose, within WEEKS, without a consultation period, despite it all being against the NHS constitution. We still have time to contact our gps but it's not looking good Info n how you can help! adhduk.co.uk/nhs-right-to...

i really really do need to just dump twitter but it was at least worth keeping it up to now just to see famous nazi elon musk get clowned and ratioed by a group of actual astronauts

Imagination is necessary for collective liberation. We can only create a better world if we imagine it first. Create. Dream. Wish. Do it out loud. As loud as possible. That’s how you find those who share your vision, who you can work with to change the world, to make the vision into reality.

Thanks to @theklarafawn.bsky.social I have RESTORE BUCHAREST on repeat in my head and now feel obligated to see if I've got an upcoming window in my schedule to action this

As always, @chriswarcraft.bsky.social is a real one.

Last night's dream involved some kind of quirky Guy Ritchie "The Gentleman" shenanigans which abruptly turned into the opening section of a Fallout: London scenario. Mind. Seriously. I think I need to come up there and have Words, because I'm not entirely sure you're ok right now.

My mother on my slightly-more-work-friendly fb profile has innocently shared a Salad Fingers gif, blissfully unaware of its original context. For some reason this is the most delightfully precious thing to me.

All 50 US States protested today but you wouldn’t know it unless you are on BlueSky. Remember to keep reaching out for others to join. This movement is going to get a lot bigger and we need all hands on deck. You are not alone. #3E #USprotests

Oh hello gastroenteritis. Couldn't let me have one last day of peacefully enjoyable annual leave without inflicting late-night Horrific Incident upon me, *could* you

I know others have raised the alarm on this, but I’m calling it now: Amazon is making this change so they can easily redact, restrict, and otherwise censor LGBTQIA+ books that were acceptable a year ago, but are likely to become outlawed in the US very soon www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

I'm gonna log-off for the day. I've had to work through the weekend and I'm feeling TIRED. But I put in my mutual aid/power building rep by turning a thread into a ton of different mutual aid resources, ideas, proposals and guides for you to use! Now you can do your one thing today too! 😘✌️

Good morning to this man, and this man only #bbcqt

It’s very interesting how media outlets like 404 and Wired who do tech and not DC cocktail party circuit slop have covered the Musk angle best because their guiding light isn’t getting a ticket to next weeks book release party in Georgetown

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other

"His Dark Materials". Erm.
