Not saying that I don’t know how to party but I’ve ordered some Kilner jars for our dried pantry staples and it’s so exciting to be able to sort them all out nicely

It feels bloody ridiculous that in 2026, when a doctor at hospital B wants to see the imaging from an emergency MRI at hospital A, apparently the only way to do that involves invoking the DPA/GDPR and filing a subject access request and waiting for up to 30d www.cuh.nhs.uk/patient-priv...

The Jupiter’s Legacy show feels like Book 9 of the Wheel of Time I’m really enjoying the characters and plot, but my gosh it moves so slooooowly I can see why it didn’t make it past S1 😬

I appreciate password strength requirements but if your system rejects `qEAE6bMDBNyTCAJn77R4m` because "two consecutive characters" then I feel that is a problem with your system

Semi-related: There’s a concept we talk about in health care - particularly disability, mental health and aged care - known as Dignity Of Risk. Simply put, it’s about allowing someone opportunities to do things that might carry some degree of risk, and not coddle them bc of their age/disability.

I don't remember seeing an image of Earth before that captures the (thin, fragile, tiny layer of) atmosphere so clearly. I mean, look at that.

Zooming in on the photo of Earth taken by astronauts on Artemis II on their way to the Moon, you can clearly see the Aurora Borealis and thin layer of atmosphere wrapping around the planet.

Definitely has the “quick flip renovation” vibes but I can’t imagine how the kitchen might have been previously…! I’m fascinated by the step up between kitchen and rest of the room (photo 6) - what do you reckon’s going on there??

Almost feels like there was a big central island / table that provided all the working space, and that’s been removed before sale…? Like there’s a double-doored space opposite that was probably pantry/storage, then really Surfaces are the only big missing thing right? Still, blimey

I'll just open the hellgates: look, there *is* an argument that for everyone who can now "make apps" thanks to agentic coding, SOME people will take a look at what's been generated out of curiosity for how it works and SOME of them will end up actually learning how to code... and that is good!

inspired by CLAUDE.md, I’ve started putting markdown files named after coworkers into work code repos so I can remind them to stop doing shit to the codebase that annoys me for some reason they’re all mad at me now, which means ill be adding commands to JEREMY.md for an attitude adjustment

Seems unfair that you only get to use the bouncy slide to get off a plane when things have gone wrong. The bouncy slide should be a treat they give to the best passengers who did the flight correctly.

I left university in 2019 with £49,600 of debt. A few months later, I became an MP and have since received a salary that puts me in the top 5% in the country. 6 years on, the repayments from my salary have brought this total to down to £48,600 - just £1,000 less.

My copy of Felix Danczak’s “Market-led growth” arrived! I’d already got and started the Kindle version when it came out, but I much prefer a physical book for this sort of thing so I can easily refer to bits as needed!

"Malort advent calendar" is already such an unhinged concept but every little window just having Malort in it really pushes it over the edge into something transcendently funny

I will restate my modest proposal to save the BBC: ban the BBC from covering itself. Every BBC scandal goes huge, because every BBC News show wants to assert its independence by covering it prominently, even if several other shows already did. So it gets blanket headlines.
