@johnharris1969.bsky.social hitting the nail on the head here about leafy Surrey. We're aghast at con-man Farage but equally aghast at the dribble coming out of the allegedly "sensible" party. Plus @alpinkerton.bsky.social seems to be doing a good job so far.

I really REALLY want #ford to make a good #EV but having a good look at the Explorer and Capri today I'm not sure they're it. Range/Efficiency seem "meh". They're well built and comfy but getting in to the back seats felt really weird (like climbing into a hole) And I hate vertical touchscreens!

a) This is incredibly stupid in terms of security and privacy b) Catastrophic lack of joined up thinking in terms of attracting tech investment over here, if we're a weird pariah in the democratic world c) Good luck to a medium-sized, non-regulatory superpower convincing Apple to do this

Blue Sky recreates a phenomenon from ‘old internet’ where you will be scrolling along and then there will just be a link to a cool article that you’d like to read. It’s sad how so much of the modern internet has scrubbed this idea. It’s a network. You’re supposed to explore around it.

I’m tired of hearing about bats. Do you want to hear a story about jumping spiders and the town that disappeared? I think I might be breaking this story – do come be the first to read it.

If you wanted no leaks you should have gone into Settings -> Security -> Configure privacy & security -> Privacy options -> Other -> Configure -> Media interface and clicked “Disallow.” The Leak setting is on by default but we understand your privacy is important so we’ve made it easy to opt out

The album "To The Bone" by Steven Wilson is a hidden indie-rock classic. I love that each solo album has a different vibe, from prog to electro to ambient, but this one is the one I keep coming back to. www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPco...

Quite apart from any other concern, that arselicking cringe to Trump is one of the grubbiest things about this whole obnoxious saga.
