Worth reading @dempster2000.bsky.social's review of Winter just to encounter the words "a voice like a Twix melting in a bra fire" www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio...

Winter review – Richard Armitage’s new cop drama is as ferociously watchable as it is daft
Sometimes you want prestige drama that roils with nuance and complexity. And sometimes you want Armitage shouting in a cagoule

Mrs Sayers is becoming slightly hard of hearing, or maybe (as she maintains) I just mumble. Often I say things during a conversation because it seems to be expected that I say something. Silence is not OK, even though I have nothing really to say. It's profoundly irritating to have to repeat […]

Houthi Advance Threatens Saudi Deterrence
The group’s advances on Yemen's western coast and a drone attack on the East-West Pipeline have put Saudi Arabia under pressure at both Hormuz and Bab al-Mandab. With Iran's reach curtailed elsewhere, Yemen has become one of Tehran's most consequential levers against Riyadh.

If there's something I'd like people to understand who perhaps don't use these tools, it's that a lot of the magic people are experiencing is not coming from the llms, it's coming from the harnesses. And the harnesses are plain old software, so we can build our own and shape the experience in […]

Due to travel disruption, I am on a different train to the one I booked. But get this: I'm on a virtually empty train that will still arrive when mine was supposed to. And my booked train (which I'm not on) is more than an hour late, so I'll get a full refund. Sometimes things work out.

I saw this in the Oh My Zsh release notes and panicked that Rubby Russell had gone all DHH, but it's just a plugin alongside other model providers.
Release notes saying "Rename `grok` alias to `grokcom` to avoid conflicts with Grok Build CLI."

I think the ploy of getting everyone to dress in red and putting big red advertising hoardings round the ground and painting big red patches on the grass is working. Or maybe the NZ fielders just can't catch. #EngvNZ #cricket #TestMatch

Good morning
Unattributed two panel meme. The top panel is a closeup of a left hand holding a small white rectangular piece of paper, on which is written "I can't do it" across two lines with two words on each. In the style of an insipid pointless patronising motivational poster, there is a pair of scissors with the blades hovering above the apostrophe-t in "can't", as if about to cut that off and leave the message "I can do it" instead, in a ghastly banal power-of-positive-thinking way. 
However in the second panel, we see that the scissors have in fact just cut out the little square of white below the word "can't", leaving the original message intact, just on a slightly more interestingly shaped piece of paper. 
Big mood.
