To add insult to injury, Donal Trump has now posted an AI slop version of the tragic UK tiger attack in which he is playing with the tiger. What the fuck is wrong with him and what the fuck is wrong with anyone who supports/enables him?

Trying out @vikunja.io for task management. Bonus that it's made and hosted in the EU (no reliance an US tech firms), and also offers self hosting if I want to reduce my reliance on cloud further. (Although still struggling to figure out what vikunja means - somekind of llama like beast?!)

I bought this burgundy Nintendo DSi XL about 15 years ago. Still one of my favourite devices. The colour, the feel of the controls, the screens, the shape - everything about it makes it a joy to play!

Here it is. My manifesto for the 2026 Clacton By-Election. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Join me, clean up Clacton and let's make 13th August Bin Day! #VoteBinface #VoteyMcVoteface #YesWeTinCan

I like this picture of the handheld console collection. I need to update it as the collection has grown since this was taken.

@evercade.co.uk and @mossmouth.bsky.social - how about a UFO50 cartridge for Evercade? Who's with me?!

@evercade.co.uk and @commodoreofficial.bsky.social - there’s definitely an overlapping venn diagram of what your companies are trying to achieve and your customer bases! I wonder if you could do something together.

@evercade.co.uk I’m absolutely loving the Super Pocket Rare Edition! I showed a colleague and he was sold at “60fps Banjo” - he’s getting one tomorrow! Questions: who actually developed the port and Conkers Bad Fur Day when?!

@mrjamesob.bsky.social I hope in another half century my kids don't look back on today's conversations with the same sense of sadness.

Hard to believe that these words were written the year before I was born. Yet here we are, nearly half a century later, raising our kids in a world where these words are more true and relevant than ever before. How disappointing to imagine the world that could have been.

"Nobody can embargo sunlight. No cartel controls the Sun. Its energy will not run out. It will not pollute the air; it will not poison our waters. It's free from stench and smog. The Sun's power needs only to be collected, stored, and used." —Jimmy Carter 1978 www.presidency.ucsb.edu/documents/go...

Post run Saturday morning relaxing!

Welcome to Rip-Off Britain. One in five children is growing up in poverty, public services are crumbling - and the 10 richest families and individuals have grown £11bn richer in just one year. Enough is enough. Tax wealth, not work.

UK gilt yields have hit an 18-year high because bond markets fear Labour might elect a slightly more left-wing leader. When financial markets seek to constrain democratic choice, that is not economic discipline. It is political power, exercised without a ballot. www.cnbc.com/2026/05/13/g...

You can now set specific cartridge colors in your Analogue 3D N64 library, and I think that's pretty neat. Words: www.gamesradar.com/hardware/ret...

Can I just ask, #r4today, as you seem to be very keen to talk about and investigate Polanski’s council tax issue, why not the same feverish scrutiny over the far more troubling and glaringly corrupt £5M bribe Farage took from that crypto billionaire, Harborne? We can hear your strings being pulled.

Palantir has been granted “unlimited access” to NHS patient data. This is the same company that is involved in mass surveillance and genocide. We did not consent to this. Get Palantir out of our NHS, now.

TikTok can still build a profile of users and use this profile to exploit them and the wider userbase, even if they don't show them ads. The question that should be asked about this news is, is it surveillance free or just ad free? Because the distinction is huge. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Don’t lose your voice. Remember to take valid photo ID with you today when you vote. 🪪

#Degoogled Photos? Yes, it's possible. ✅🏞️ The Big Tech does not need to scan & have access to your pictures & videos 👉 use a Google Photos alternative instead. Find out which open source photo storage we'd recommend: tuta.com/blog/google-...  #GooglePhotos #DeGoogle

The solution to gerrymandering is proportional representation. Pass it on!

This is what tariffs were always all about for Trump. Not about revenue, trade, domestic manufacturing, GDP - it’s about giving himself the unilateral power to decide economic winners and losers on a case by case basis, with kings and CEOs coming to him asking forbearance..

I never thought I’d see the day where the White House posts on social media that the 1st amendment is optional.

A crypto investor just donated £9 million to the Reform Party. Right now, billionaires can pour unlimited money into our elections, effectively buying our democracy. Think that's wrong? Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...

@bsky.app PDS migration complete! No more AWS. This post coming live from my @raspberrypi.com 3 Model B.

May I politely point out that today is an exceptional day for solar power generation in the United Kingdom. It’s not always like this, I’m very aware of that, but when it is this sunny all day, it means we have to pay for less imported gas. It’s not that hard to understand.

France moves away from Windows. The UK & rest of Europe, and @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social, should follow suit! www.engadget.com/big-tech/fre...

Because of concerns about the safety of using US Tech, France is getting rid of Windows from its Government computers. It's time, get all US Big Tech, Microsoft, Google, Palantir... out of Europe. It is a security threat.

Please take a first look at a game we are currently working on! It's called Emerald Ferns It will be mostly a text-based RPG, with a few very important tweaks that should change the usual tedious experience of typing exact-match commands #indiegame #indiedev #gamedev #textRPG

If your laptop is stranded on Windows 10, the solution isn't a new laptop. It's a new operating system. Read more from @steviebonifield.bsky.social: www.theverge.com/tech/905946/...

We tracked down the superyacht owned by the world’s sixth richest man. Larry Ellison won’t like what we did to it 🛥️🏴‍☠️

Wait, so Nigel Farage has been revealed as a grubby little shithouse who will say and shill anything for a few quid? I for one am shocked & appalled.

Palantir has no place in our NHS. The Labour government must get this Mandelson and Trump backed company out now. Listen to what health workers are saying. news.sky.com/story/nhs-ho...

It's no longer OK for you to sit in the house of Lords because your dad did. But if your mate put you there? That's fine. Neither of these really feel like democracy to me.

Isn't it weird how those who keep telling us about "broken Britain" want to make us more like Donald Trump's deeply polarised America? ht @stephenkb.bsky.social

People say @zackpolanski.bsky.social is too extreme on taxing wealth. According to YouGov, 75% of people in the UK support a wealth tax of 2% on assets over 10m. This is not a radical position. It's wildly popular. yougov.com/en-gb/daily-...
