How's today going? Well, I discovered I had some technical issues on a video I recorded yesterday so I had to redo it from scratch. And then the new video had the exact same issue, but at least with two data points I've managed to track down what the problem was […]

@lexicaleigh just sprung a question on me: "What's your favourite fictiional band?" It's rapidly degenerated into a discussion of what actually qualifies as fictional.
Spinal Tap?
Dethklok?
Gorillaz?
Sgt Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band?
The Traveling Wilburys?

The world is on fire and it feels like everything is falling apart. It's easy to get stuck in thought patterns like defeatism and despair.
It feels like the goons are unstoppable, that the fascists and techbros and awful people are all winning. But they have names and their power depends on us […]

A road in the Netherlands was closed off for a while by the authorities to give a crane space to mourn its mate that died in a collision.

Saint Dwynwen's Day: The story of Wales' Valentine's Day
Saint Dwynwen might be the Welsh patron saint of love, but she did not have much luck in that department.

In the second post of our 2025 report series, we look at the people behind the work, their roles, experience, and how many are burning out.
Now with three years of data, we’re also looking at trends […]

Afternoon Twters.
Fatigue has hit like a truck today so despite a good sleep last night, I'm back in bed because i can no longer keep myself upright. My mind is not in need of rest, it's firing on all cylinders, but my body is broken today... I'm weak as a kitten. 😴

I'm once again having a bit of a time-wasting scroll through the rejected petitions on the UK Parliament Petitions website.
Sadly the site doesn't tell us who sent each one in, but I would imagine this one was submitted by "Mr J Oliver in Essex".

The greatest trick the Devil ever pulled
was that one where he made it look like his thumb had been cut in half, but actually he was just folding the other thumb behind his finger.
That was a good trick.
