My work takes me to a lot of venues, hotels, restaurants etc. I've a particular hatred for those who geostalk me, then follow me with ads for weeks after. It's not cool, and guarantees I will avoid your services wherever possible.

Huge thanks to @robmanuelyeah.bsky.social for a great @anonopin.bsky.social show tonight. Didn't take any pictures because I was laughing so much, and anyway, you wouldn't have *believed* what he was wearing

Am very much looking forward to this. Obviously my opinions are so awful they have had to be anonymous, but I trust in the power of Rob to weave something out of the horrors
Off to do the second @anonopin.bsky.social show - with modifications from the first to last night. I’ve been making signs for the audience to hold up to judge things. Come down if you fancy it it’s in Aces and Eights in Tufnell Park. Doors at 7:00, show at 7:30.

Am going to this, I predict it will be excellent. You should also go to this.
Anyway. Trying out a new thing next week in North London. I really want you to come. Roughly speaking you'll be submitting opinions, via form, and we'll get them all up on a screen and DEBATE THEM together. Live, interactive, and yes anon if you like (via phones) or non-anon, using your face.

@richardpope.org does a great job of showing that it's often senior leadership misunderstandings and desire for "big bang comms" that damage good work already in progress (this time on digital ID).

You know that excruciating feeling when you've followed someone's writing for literally years. But then get in a lift with them and make happy chat without realising it's them. Apologies, @anildash.com - I joined the dots up a few minutes later. I blame hats. Hats are totally to blame here.

Contrary to all my intentions, I will let the sun go down on me. Tomorrow, most probably.
I have to admit that, much as I’d like to be, I’m not still standing.
I'm sorry to say that, contrary to my belief, I cannot fly.
