Wondering about the ethics… is it ok to buy a Dyson second hand? So long as that repulsive company and its garbage CEO aren’t getting any money out of the transaction I think I’m good.

Dafuq? Michelle Trachtenberg, Gossip Girl and Buffy actress, dies aged 39 www.bbc.com/news/article...

As each day passes and the news from the US gets worse and worse I get more and more certain that Luigi Mangioni was on to something.

Oops... I was scouring ebay looking for a good deal on an M1/2 MacBook Pro to replace my creaky old 2012 model and I seem to have somehow ended up browsing Thinkpads instead.

There’s a cheerful thought… being in the industry myself I know that it ain’t quick or easy to spin up a whole new dc in a foreign country and integrate it into your existing environment. So I really hope Bluesky are on this already.

The High Court has ruled in my defamation case against Graham Linehan, finding that the statements he published were defamatory at common law. Huge thanks to my legal team for their support throughout this process. You can read the full judgment here: caselaw.nationalarchives.gov.uk/ewhc/kb/2025...

Oh no… JuicyCrumb have finally released the display upgrade board for my version of the Apple iMac G4. It’s horrifying to hear these now described as vintage. I remember my folks unboxing this iMac brand new back in 2001 and doing my college work on it. juicycrumb.com/product/dock...

Give your Trans friends and family a hug. They fucking deserve so so much more than they're getting and NONE of what's being done to them. My trans family - you have survived before, you will survive this. I want you to survive. I love you, you deserve to be here, the world is better with you 🏳️‍⚧️❤️

I didn’t have the USA starting a third world war on my 21st century bingo card. Those Americans who still gleefully bring up the Second World War when talking to Germans had best pay attention. Unless they stop Trump this will be a generational stain their nation will absolutely never recover from.

I'm not sure what's with all the military helicopters flying over London today. This was the third one to fly over around lunchtime. Canon EOS 50D EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 ƒ/11 1/1000 s 300 mm ISO 800

London provided one hell of a sunset a couple of nights ago... In other news I love my view :) Canon EOS 50D EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 ƒ/10 1/1000 s 300 mm ISO 800

Odd that a country which knowingly elected a corrupt serial rapist is suddenly surprised that he's turning out to be a bit of a rotter.

Honestly #TikTok has become so insufferable since the ban reprieve that constantly curating your filter list is the only way to keep your sanity on the foryou feed. Whoever builds an algo-less @atproto.com based video front end for BlueSky first is going to be very popular.

I get the distinct impression that Trump isn’t going to complete this Presidential term. It’ll be his own side that does him in when the oligarchs start to feel the effects of his policies on their bottom lines. It’s hard to exploit the people if they’re all destitute.

Enshitification in action. Braun have removed the Apple HealthKit integration from their App so it can't sync blood pressure readings to my healthcare provider's App anymore. Before I go out and buy the withings blood pressure monitor instead, does anyone have any alternate recommendations?

People who complain about DEI are people who are so bad at their jobs that they can't compete without artificially holding back women, black people and LGBT people

Did Trump really just blame a plane crash on federal diversity and inclusivity programs?

Shockingly it looks like my brain is actually braining today... I haven't even had any coffee yet. puzzles.standard.co.uk/games/easy-c...

Quick and easy visit to GPatHand over and done with… I have had nothing but water for the 12 hours before the blood tests so I’m now about to pound a half dozen lattes and the greasiest full English I can find :)

Star Trek: Section 31. Plot: Promising Subplot: derivative Visuals: stunning Characters: detestable Writing: lazy Dialogue: atrocious Direction: jarring Continuity: absent Editing: nauseating Acting: amateur Soundtrack: intrusive Score: decent Oh dear. 2/10 #startrek #section31 #nospoilers

Oooh how did I not know this… If you press and hold on a hashtag you don’t want to see in your Bluesky feed you can mute it forever! In the app at least… I don’t know if this works on desktop.

If you see this post quote with bridge from your gallery: Dartford Bridge, taken on a Tower Bridge to Tilsbury bike ride in November 2017 with @ibikelondon.bsky.social

Part of me thinks that Labour are going to wait to see if they get a second term before rocking the populist boat… which is miserable. I’d rather we rejoin the EU right away.

Oooh... Star Trek: Section 31 is out today so I know what I'll be doing straight after work! I wonder if the lovely @seanferrick.bsky.social of @trekculture.bsky.social will be doing an ups and downs review?
