Local landowner has really done it this time. This ROW always blocked or obstructed. This time actually barbed wire on the padlocked gate. What can I do about it?

This sums up how a lot of us feel. I’m Gen X so I was crazy for the computer, for what it could do. I worked as a computer journalist a few times. I love games and tech and all that stuff. Where we are now isn’t that. This is the worst kids in the world being allowed to be their very worst selves.

Return your (McD's/Greggs/Costa etc) cup and get 5p. The latest idea from Cardiff council to reduce litter. Lads I don't even pick up 5p if I see one on the ground these days.

Time to clarify something. When authors say “Unbound haven’t paid me” that makes it sound like Unbound had some money, which they used to buy authors’ writing. Unbound had no money. The authors did: we had raised that money. They were holding it in trust. Unbound stole our money.

In "Doonesbury," Andy Lippincott died 35 years ago, on May 24, 1990. Andy was not only the first openly gay character in newspaper comics but also the first one to die of AIDS. Here is that strip and the ensuing sequence:

I’m the guy who invents new bathroom faucet designs for every hotel. You might know me from Knob That Goes The Other Way and Joystick That’s Hard To Turn Off. Lately I’ve been lacking inspiration, even thinking about hanging it up. I’ve had a good run, but — wait, never mind: Ball You Turn Diagonal

How To Get Ahead In Advertising is easily as good as Withnail and I but somehow totally overlooked. Robinson/Grant pairing really worked.

please don't do this. we all know AI sucks. we don't have to make it burn however much resources just for a goof. you can use udm14.org if you want to search Google with no AI, or you can pick a different search engine that doesn't have AI or has the option to turn it off. I like Ecosia & Duckduckgo

I've just been thinking about these - Bristol has funded changing non-junction lights to green immediately for pedestrians rather than making them wait for cars 1/4 of a mile away (which is what most towns and cities do). Well done to my Bristol Green colleagues like @cllremmaedwards.bsky.social
