There's a lot of anger in my writing, but rarely any spite. However... An ex who treated me horribly during our relationship messaged me, asking if I'd be willing to meet for dinner and "see if there's still a spark". I was fuming! 😡 I typed a whole essay! But I cooled down and sent this instead.

Yup. I have a hard time seeing the fact that Bluesky does not compensate people for being combative assholes to generate "engagement" as a downside.

Reform UK has uncovered the scandal of a “wasteful” £350m contract. Small problem: it’s not a contract. Or £350m. Or a scandal. Here’s how they got it completely wrong. 👇👇

People often stop me in the street (never happened) and ask: “What do people like on Bluesky?” “Mountains and flowers,” comes my reply. Mt. Fuji with a sprinkle of flowers for #stunday. ❤️ ✌🏽 #photography #nature #art #eastcoastkin #stormhour #photohour #fuji #japan #flowers #bloomscrolling #scape

ICYMI, I'm co-writing #TheExpanse with Wes Chatham — the acclaimed actor who plays Amos Burton! Based on an original idea by Wes, it's a noir revenge thriller in which Amos goes... full Amos. I call it "Churn mode." If you know, you know.

The Dickin Medal is the highest award that can be issued to animals in British military service. Bearing the words "We Also Serve" it has been awarded 75 times since its creation in 1943. Only one cat has ever received the award. This is the story of Able Seacat Simon, of HMS Amethyst. 🧵 1/25

As my story of Simon, the only feline recipient of the highest medal for animal gallantry is doing the rounds again. I'll share that HMS Amethyst's "general characteristics" section on Wikipedia has a unique crew complement section.

The straightest thing you can do as a man is to think a lot about two other guys' balls.

The speed of writing code has never, and will never be the bottleneck. The bottleneck, the limiting factor, is always in the thinking about the code and how it works, understanding it. People who use chatgpt to write code are literally removing the only part of programming that is actually useful.

Reminder that I will be at Enniskillen Comic Fest this weekend! I'm going to be doing A4 and A5 watercolour sketches, plus signing and chatting and all sorts. I'll also have some nice books and a few prints to sell. If you're in town, come by and chat. THANK YOU AND GOODBYE

I want to acknowledge how confusing today must feel for the tech-bro manosphere. The way you are feeling, that is called “emotions”.

Nothing says “secure masculinity” like changing the name of a boat because it’s named after a gay man.

TLDR version; "one long-running tech pyramid scam is about to be unexpectedly run over by another, even longer-running, tech pyramid scam." With any luck they'll collide with the LLM bubble and turn it into a three-car pileup and fuel tank conflagration: oh dear, how sad, never mind.
