This morning’s activities…

Everything morning there's some new batshittery. www.cnn.com/2025/02/22/p...

Lovely to see Wales back again. Their last two matches against Scotland and England should be fun. #M6N #SixNations

Never in doubt / Need a lie down. #M6N #SixNations

Queasy feeling emerging re rugby. Might find some form of light distraction; reading CNN to see what the orange shitgibbon is up to for instance.#M6N #SixNations

Have always thought that a strong Wales is good for the Six Nations overall, but if you can wait one more match before remembering how to play lads, it woud be appreciated. #M6N #SixNations

The walk to the start of #parkrun. #volunteer

Nerves ahead of the Ireland Wales match throughout the country, with everyone saying the rather dumb ‘Could we beat them with 12 men’ was just a pod shooting its mouth off. Way to motivate the opposition, lads. 🤦‍♂️

This does not feel like a positive development...

CPAC too toxic for the French far right? That's impressively toxic... www.theguardian.com/world/live/2...

The amount of times Apple has played hard ball over new legislation and gvt requests, then it rolls over now?

New public statement from Apple: “As of Friday, February 21, Apple can no longer offer Advanced Data Protection as a feature to new users in the UK.”

Of course he does. arstechnica.com/features/202...

Good to hear Irish rugby pods being nervous about the game on Saturday. Never, but never, underestimate the opposition. #M6N

Fun watching Farrago squirm on the Ukraine issue. But beyond that it looks like Trump's lunatic view on Zelenskyy and Putin is knocking all the wind out of the alt right's sails over this side of the Atlantic. Which is good.

Need to be able to play some games across multiple sessions and tear down in between. Any apps to help with this or is it just take pics and preserve card hands etc? #boardgames

Next few days..

Interesting some of the things being investigated here. #F1 fansurvey2025-formula1.motorsportnetwork.com

Oh Japan, why are your convenience foods so very very tasty. Obsessed with this stuff.

Now this is what I call impressive clickbait. #F1 www.planetf1.com/news/lewis-h...

#F175: One can only hope they've ironed out the kinks in time for #F1150.

Shit technology turns out to be shit. www.theverge.com/news/614883/...

Personally, I'd find jet fighters screaming over my head as I went out to bat slightly off-putting. #cricket #championstrophy

As a child of the tail end of the Cold War who grew up rolling my eyes at Ronald Reagan's characterisation of the Soviet Union as 'The Evil Empire', Trump and the GOP's capitulation to Putin is never less than jaw-dropping. The war was Ukraine's fault? Hail to the Shill...

I hope America is as lucky as the delta jet - everyone survives but the right wing explodes

As part of today's F1 Commission meeting, trying to promote better racing in Monaco was discussed and it was agreed to increase the number of mandatory pit stops in the race. The proposal will see further discussions in the coming weeks #F1

Nice to see John Oliver back on TV again. Wish he didn't have quite so much material to work with.

For the avoidance of doubt. www.theverge.com/politics/613...

"It’s not been a bad run, eh?" Too right. Chapeau, sir. www.theguardian.com/sport/2025/f...

Me? I think I preferred Patrick Head glowering at journalists over a clipboard while they waited nervously in the drizzle for the sound of an engine going bang on the Hanger Straight. (Not that that ever happened, but you get the idea: everything that F175 isn't pretty much). #F1 #F175

After several hours of reading, unboxing and setup, about to play the first turn of SETI. It may take some while. Seasoned gamers will recognise the extinction level threat asleep on the chair beside the board.
