Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 22/09/2026Elon is too much of a coward to ever go to Space though. So while he’s surely a big fan of any part of that movie that reminds him of apartheid South Africa, his version of that plan would have to be inverted and requires sending everyone else on Earth away. 010
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 17/09/2026LCARS going through a WinAmp 2 → 3 skinning API disaster. Holodecks shut down with out of memory errors and half the fleet refusing to upgrade. 110
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 16/09/2026I always assumed that I would get over this with age and it just didn’t! I was nervous meeting blog-famous web designers at 19. Nervous at merch booths at gigs in my 20s. Then I told Moby “thank you for the music” at a sxsw party and decided probably best to never try to speak to anyone ever again. 040
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 02/09/2026Naming the site of a most embarrassing military quagmire after himself? I think we can let him have this one. 001
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 13/08/2026That’s an interesting angle. Has anyone made a good standalone Chrome-powered PDF app? I think the core of my preference is rooted in wanting PDF reading not to be in my web browser; if it’s a document on my computer, I want it in its own spacial context. 110
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 13/08/2026I pretty much only use Chrome for Google Meet. The other day it opened up and asked me if I wanted to make it my default _PDF Viewer_. One of the saddest, neediest prompts I’ve ever seen from software. 120
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 10/08/2026I recall there was something with grinding down the track that helped the noise. Wild that it hasn’t lasted longer. 110
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 10/08/2026I remember when the new BART fleet came in the noise reduction felt revelatory. Riding to SFO now it feels like the track is howling just the way it used to. Is it in my head or did that actually regress? Did we just get used to it being quieter but it’s actually still always been bad? 120
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 07/08/2026Remembering fondly when it sucked because all app icons were blue. 130

Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 14/07/2026I think the killer game design achievement was getting the players hyper-competitive. Game Changer’s dynamic now is often players cooperating and trying to beat the game and Sam above winning. The thrilling part of this was seeing every player shift from that jovial place to a genuine hunger to win. 110
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 06/07/2026The USA were in real danger of being recognised for actual merit in this tournament and I love it for them that This Fucking Guy can’t help himself but stick a monumental asterisk on all of it. 000

Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 11/04/2026I feel a slightly desperate desire to connect with it, perhaps just because of the different reality it seemed to exist in. But the juxtaposition of new photos of the earth in space against breathless threats of nuclear war have been incompatible in my brain. I feel some loss. 010

Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 31/01/2026I remember Musk’s shitty downplaying of “‘Pedo guy’ is just a thing people in South Africa say”. It makes more sense in the full context of “‘Pedo guy’ is just a thing people in South Africa say about me”. 020

Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 05/12/2025Given how UEFA institutionally hates FIFA though, I think the best thing to do would be for them to now issue their own Peace Prize to Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Or, Barack Obama. 130
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 05/12/2025The FIFA Peace Prize thing has my reactions torn between how objectively hilarious and pathetic it is, and deep-seated shame because… well just because I like football. 140
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 22/11/2025Ah! I so appreciate seeing this. Ours is 16 months now, so will definitely be cribbing from this come Christmas planning. 120
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 23/10/2025Did someone tell him that there’s treasure buried under the White House or something? He’s going to emerge from the rubble filled hole in the ground clutching “actually the real constitution” declaring “see says right here: one king.” 041

Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 27/09/2025Selecting and cutting large/scrolled blocks of text in iMessage appears to be actually impossible now. Focus blips in and out, keyboard comes and goes, position gets reset. Has really fucked my habit of breaking overlong messages into separate posts. 051
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 24/09/2025I was pulling for him to be paraded in on a palanquin by bearers in Brendan Carr masks, then delivering his monologue from an effigy of the president as a bearskin rug. But this was probably the better move. 000
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 24/09/2025Handled with remarkable, deft class, and channelling this rare extra attention toward all manner of issues beyond himself. Kimmel has such a talent for stepping above his shtick at key moments. 120
Ben Wardsloane @benward.uk · 07/09/2025I’m reading through the quotes and the number of versions of “CouchGPT” have me nodding “yeah, I see why he disables comments.” (Just to stay sane in notifications, not because it’s a bad joke.) 130
