It would appear that London Northwestern have implemented a patch which means...that if you're on android you can no longer 'add to you digital wallet' Great.

The kinda sick day where I watch #StarTrek and take antibiotics.

We're watching #applecidervinegar and Kaitlyn Dever is *exceptional* get her an Emmy πŸ™ŒπŸΎπŸ™ŒπŸΎ More seriously it's a super accurate depiction of charismatic narcissists who are lowkey con artists.

So far in 2025 I have had a stomach bug and then a bad cold and now...tonsilitis and sinusitis. I feel like my body is like hey girl hey remember how you pushed yourself on minimal sleep in 2024 and delivered some career defining pieces...yeah that comes with a price. πŸ€‘πŸ’©πŸ€ͺ

@bbcradio2bot.bsky.social Why aren't you touching on the lack of diversity in romantasy and the Mary Sue aspect of all the women.

Damn this week's episode of #Invincible is on.the.nose.

The Telegraph has now published not one but *three* separate corrections of its repeated false claims about "illegal immigrants in London". The latest one is of Lord Frost's bizarre and ignorant rant here: archive.ph/HBZLF

I beg your pardon?

We've moved on from Safdie Brothers to Iannucci.

Trump's flurry of anti-trans executive orders is justified as "protecting women." In reality, they are an attack on all women and girls, cis and trans. They make sexual abuse easier. And they're targeting research into women's health care for defunding. www.salon.com/2025/02/10/w...

In my more normal TV news... Are you watching #BigBoys on @channel4.bsky.social tho? S3 is an absolutely heart-wrenching bit of telly. I was sobbing by the last episode. Proper British telly with a lot of heart and challenging subject matter. Made me realise how utterly alone I felt in my 20s.

Repost with your apocalypse skill: *If* I make it through the initial run on resources and power grabs then...you'd want me for difficult decisions and resource management. I know how to survive by making the most of people around me who are stronger, faster and smarter.

#Invincible Ok. Cecil is probs my fave character. His moral shadiness makes him COMPELLING to watch.

The 2 best things about #BlackDoves? Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw. ALSO the writers team being English because everyone sounded so bloody normal. And what a joy to see two people having such great chemistry. Forever grateful to Paddington and Elizabeth Swan. πŸ˜†πŸ€©

Absolutely brilliant evening with @robsfullofbeans.bsky.social 😍 watching #InsideNo9StageFright and getting to meet Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith was a goddamned highlight!!! I would totally pay money to see them do Rosenkrantz and Guilderstern are dead!!

I think the phrase is, β€œFuck around and find out.”

I do wonder if the period between smartphones no longer being revolutionary and AI becoming useful will in retrospect be a golden age for the *most* stupid VC spending.

Walgreens a walking example of senior execs getting distracted by shiny things and reaping every expensive consequence going. 🀑

This is such a satisfying @austincarr.bsky.social story about a niche disaster that has fascinated me for years: The Walgreens video cooler door fiasco. A true retail cautionary tale. www.bloomberg.com/news/feature...

When did it become normalised to watch tablets and phones without headphones on public transport.

sorry but Olaf Henricsson-Bell is the name of a megamerger northern European telecoms giant not an actual person

How this reporter wrote this is beyond me. Because I imagine this had to be fact checked and gone through with a fine-toothed comb.

if you're not sure if you can cope with that article about Gaiman, if you already believe the accusers and have removed him from your mental roster of Okay Men, my advice is don't read it. you don't have to. the content warnings are not an exaggeration.

Jonathan Bailey single-handedly keeping paleontology departmemts in business this year. #JuarassicWorldRebirth

my friend @vickytnz.bsky.social died recently, a huge shock. She was so smart and caring and community-centred. In honour of her, I recommend reading her excellent articles like this one: www.vickyteinaki.com/blog/approac...

If you wish to send a message to the friends and family of Vicky Teinaki, @vickytnz.bsky.social, about how much she meant to us and the community she was so much a part of, please add them here. I now have access to a compilation by a close friend of hers (not on BlueSky) and will add ours.

We're *finally* watching #sweetpea and the storyline with her getting bullied, her hair falling out while at secondary school is a little too close to home 🀑

(Also we're leaning into #Kalends and doing a scary film and tasty food to celebrate 12th Night)

Not her wearing a full on winter coat in LA 🀣🀣🀣 #TheSubstance

And to see what we managed to do in 5 days in Laos! vm.tiktok.com/ZGdBkpHJG/

3 weeks 2 countries 7 flights 1 overnight train 2 standard train journeys 2 boat rides 1 cruise 1 kayak What an epic holiday and what a way to see out 2024 and start 2025.

AI sucks. Stop using it.

In January 1421 a small fleet of Dutch ships arrived in London. And did they bring the eels? Oh yeah. One ship, belonging to Gerbrand Heykysson, unloaded 400 large eels, 2,700 medium eels, 23,00 small eels, & 6 barrels of salted eels. Also a small sack of feathers. πŸ—ƒοΈπŸ§ͺ

Breaking News: Dominique Pelicot was convicted of raping his wife, Gisèle, after admitting he had invited strangers to join him in violating her for years. The case shook France and made Gisèle a feminist hero. nyti.ms/4gJIKK2

Leaving the UK at Christmastime is the best form of self care I've done for myself this year. British culture is especially tedious at this time of year.

Not @monzo.com 's year in review making Spotify's look *even more* AI generated. Well played offering a 'savage' and 'nice' option 🀣🀣🀣

HBO really being run by an evil cabal.

I have yet to travel anywhere and not encounter other Brits, Dutchies and Germans. 🀣🀣🀣 Those colonial expansionist vibes go deep.

Company conducts a "mental health survey" and asks employees if they're feeling stressed. Then it lays off all the employees who said yes. www.news18.com/viral/yesmad...

Also correct - I am a Lead UXR who runs events, runs bookclub runs a community UX group and does actual research work.

I run bookclub at work and it's probs been one of the best parts every 6 weeks getting to chat to ppl about a book we've read!
