Tired of anti-DEI rhetoric? Sure. #DEI policies have largely failed to make any difference to workforces since 2000. Here’s a #factcheck to shut down the bullshit killdozer.medium.com/how-to-shut-...

Hey road rage van driver, this is for you
How an angry delivery driver got me to write a Medium post. It’s not much, but it’s food for thought.

Apple (UK user) still got it. Google Maps (UK user) hedging it. Waiting for Cuba to change it to Gulf of Cuba. Then they all get sued by Gulf Oil. And Golf.

So while the rest of the country is covered with weather warnings, #EastAnglia is basking in the sun. Getting some winter sun really transforms my mood this time of year. If you are feeling like grey cardboard, get outside. Anything green should do it. #mentalhealth

East Anglia version: it’s a bit chilly. Seriously, East Anglia is weird. Catastrophic floods = a bit rainy. Heatwave = sunny. Snow bomb = cloudy. Then every 10 years it’s a total winter wipeout while the rest of the UK is just a bit meh. It’s like one of these kids is doing his own thing…

Afterwards, I make a big pot of coffee and we all get into bed to wake my wife with noisy shenanigans, licks and nuzzles.

Unexpected bonus: got a new rescue dog who was kept in a small flat and never walked, so I get to stand in a field at 6.15 and see this on a daily basis. #sunrise #rescuedog #wintersun

Okay chess.com just totally jacked me and ended the game calling THIS a stalemate. I’m playing black. It’s taken me some time to beat Nelson, and then he pullls this shit. Not cool, AI. Not. Cool.

Met the inspiring Tate Smith (of Tate Smith Consultancy) at a men’s mental health event at the IGPP yesterday. Grabbed a selfie for the 3 trans folk in my life - because he’s proof that the journey leads to a very positive place. #LGBTQ+ #trans #mentalhealth

Why do scammers try so hard but fail at the basics? If you want to scam people about crypto and stocks, you really should a) know the names of some b) know what they are c) be able to say something about them other than “trust me hun we going make money my dear don’t be afraid I teach you” #FFS

Okay so @smithbtc.bsky.social is a scammer who tried to get me to take investing lessons for crypto & stocks, but couldn’t actually name any. Then they copied and pasted text - with citations - that failed to pass even basic scrutiny. Sigh. #spam #scam #dontruinbluesky

Interesting Greg Wallace data point: based on his own numbers a 0.33% rate for serious complaints is normal. That makes my own 0.25% murder rate of people I’ve worked with over the years feel a bit on the low side @benstockman.bsky.social @davidangell.bsky.social @jgladwin.bsky.social

I *hate* to admit it but the #AI voice enhance at Adobe is brilliant at cleaning Zoom/Teams audio etc. If the quality is good to start with tools like Izotope & Sonible (and onboard Logic Pro kit) works great. But nothing can clean up fuzzy tinny shite like #Adobe #Podcast Voice Enhancer

In these troubled times, when the forces of medieval-level bigotry and ignorance are resurgent, I’d recommend taking a bunch of kids out down the high street and messing about a bit. It restores your faith in humanity. #positive #mentalhealth

Back from Madrid and in the edit suite… most frequent remark I got from guests at the event was “you sound just like you do on the #podcast” which is a relief I guess. Here’s a pic of the #jamon #museum. Mmm.

Been in Madrid podcasting for a couple of days. Sun rising when I started, down when I finished. It’s a lovely city and tomorrow am in going to see it in daylight and eat all the jamons. All. Of. Them.

Yes. I am a middle-aged #geek. Behold this magnificent UNSC Warthog on Oxford Street. It’s a bad pic but of you get a chance, take a look. That’s the best thing in the Microsoft store by a very long way.

Problems with this sign: 1. That’s a cockerel 2. Those aren’t 3:2 brick dimensions 3. No arms Fun fact: Founded during the late 18th Century expansion of Colchester, this pub was called “The Amazon Delivery Cock”
Bad pub sign for bricklayers arms showing a cockerel shitting a cardboard box

This is also caused by a lack of community & outpatient services for the largest service user population - personality disorders. There’s been progress but funding cuts/priorites remain a huge problem We need more PD services outside hospitals to free up acute beds. #mentalhealth

16 years working in/adjacent to socials and this is still a thing. In 2009 I did an interview about the role of hashtags in #politics on R4 Today. Culturally it was fascinating - coder shorthand leaking into linguistics. Sadly, also a load of #cock. @davidangell.bsky.social @benstockman.bsky.social

Off to bed with a final Bluesky thought - anyone else a pond lover out there? I love ponds. There. Big pond love here. However I really hate pond air pumps that blow out and you can’t fix the diaphragm because it’s a non-replaceable part. Who’s with me?

Back in 1984 Welsh pop rock’n’roller Shakin’ Stevens sung the lyric: “We're gonna have a party tonight I'm gonna find that girl Underneath the mistletoe We'll kiss by candlelight” The Meibion Glyndŵr holiday home arson reports of that time are finally explained.

Please, if you are able, support Independent bookshops. They are the literary & social hubs of our high streets and communities. Without their continued support, we simply wouldn't be around to publish . Thank you.

I have the behind-the-eyes headache of a 1970s private detective with Venetian blinds and a bottle of White Horse in a filing cabinet. Long edit ends. Tough show this week - audio engineering nightmare phone reverb. Blue light eyeball tan.

Wow. After giving up on X about 2 years ago I’m back in the microblogging world (as we called it in 2008) - resurrected by @benstockman.bsky.social to continue the good work of talking without getting piled on by spammers and conspiracy theorists. If you knew me behind, come and say hello!
