🤔 In this post, I explore why we judge geeks, how technophobia and geek discrimination show up today, and how we can begin to embrace our inner geek with more kindness. 🔗 voxelhub.org/digitalwellbeing/why-d… . #wellbeing #digitalwellbeing #geek #identity

I'm mostly a very chill chap. Does anyone want to give me a trillion dollars, and I will promise my best not to be an existential risk to humanity? DM if so.

I've been assuming that some of them are looking for info to pass onto the press, or the press have asked them to look for. I'm sure I'm wrong though...

Started watching Sky’s War Game last night where Michael Gove is the PM during the Russian attack and I’m afraid it is just very difficult to watch it without thinking of this, one of the great cartoons ever published

I've got a nagging knee pain, had it for ages. The worst thing about it is having to explain to a professional that I got it when I ran over a yoga ball on a Segway during a work teambuilding day.

Most housing benefit goes to private landlords. A big chunk of universal credit subsidises underpayed workers. The so-called welfare bill could be seriously reduced by fixing these underlying issues, not cutting actual welfare.

Even in that though, I went on to work in computers for a reasonable sized company for 20 years, and like to think that my different route there also brought them a different approach and thought process for them to benefit from too (I don't any more mind, I work part time at a local theatre :) )

Of course the news organisations banned by Trump should sue him, but if I were them I'd be leading on a Trump/Epstein files story every day until he drops it.

I think I'd rather deal with the first with a proper open council data set, built by the government then rolled out to all to use, and suffer the second.

Graeme Hunter @graeme.blog · 21/09/2026
I'm uncomfortable with the Freedom of Information act for two reasons, firstly the cost it puts onto councils to serve it, and secondly the use (particularly but not exclusively) the use of it by right-wing thinkers to "prove" points.

In-depth follow-up by the Teesside Lead, which has dug into our data on the use of illegal children's homes by councils including Middlesbrough and Redcar & Cleveland. Great work by @leighsus.bsky.social & @sarahlsinclair.bsky.social
teesside.thelead.uk
Teesside councils spent almost £20 million on care linked to unregistered children’s homes
A new investigation has laid bare the amount going into homes without an Ofsted inspection

My phone sends me a notification whenever there's an owl nearby. I don't remember asking it to do that and I don't know how to make it stop. I tried throwing my phone into a ravine but it just reappeared in my hand moments later. The owl notifications are growing more frequent

Totally agree; I think that somewhere there is also a broader point about the diminishing of the humanities at present. There seems to be a (particularly right-wing) thought that learning has to have a specific point and aim to produce an actual thing other than simply critical thinking & learning

I have a spoken word/stand up piece about Pacman I really should do a blog post or video of sometime. It's just a great little story about how my mum is the world's greatest gamer ever. Utterly true too.

My origin video game is a cocktail cabinet of Breakout in Schiphol Airport in 1978. I didn't even play it (my mum wouldn't let me), I just stood over it in attract mode entranced at this new thing. This was totally the moment I became a gamer.

The first WWE match I ever saw was the Bulldogs vs the Hart Foundation. It has everything, drew me in right away, set up a passion I've still got 40 odd years later. The second was a Hulk Hogan match where he wore a plastic helmet with a fist on it. I almost fell out of love with it right away.

As a huge wrestling fan (but not of him) I followed the Hulk Hogan/Gawker trial religiously. The most amazing moment of many was when Hogan explained in court that his character's penis was significantly larger than his actual penis. A stenographer had to write that down.
