Watching Striking Distance (1993) when out of the blue ... Captain Raymond Holt!

Was thinking today about how for #software people there's a moving window of pop culture references you get in the tortured metaphors used in code and documentation and maybe that's why it's important that either it doesn't last very long or that people reboot movies and sitcoms to keep it relevant.

Am considering whether I can really face another 20 years working for charities whilst feeling like I'm not achieving anything and working in software with infected with AI. Anyone got any suggestions of things I could do that would make me feel like my life had a point?

Convincing the environment sector that in order to push back against building data centres that use colossal volumes of energy and water we need to gather, store and then use AI to analyse petabytes of data is an amazing confidence trick and we appear to have entirely fallen for it.

The rhyming of the words million, billion and trillion n gives a false impression that they are similar. On the days when musk is considered to be a trillionaire you could remove 99.9% of his wealth and with the 0.1% that remained he'd still be a billionaire.

If I were making a film of the odyssey I think a funny thing to do would be if, as they sail past the sirens island, the siren song slows down a few BPM and changes key a semitone down.

Someone in my street chose today - a hot dry day with a swirling wind during a fire ban - to light quite a large bonfire in their tiny front garden, next to the fence, under a tree and with an unsupervised toddler on the leeward side with the flames whipping toward their excited little face.

@norcrosscricket.bsky.social Regarding the boundaries off the 6th ball stats earlier, presumably that's skewed by tail-end partnerships farming the strike. Do the stats change if you exclude maybe the last 3 wickets?

I've been thinking a bit about flags and fascism. They occupy a town and hang their flag over the carved edifice of the town hall. It struck me that this is so half-arsed and lazy. They don't make or even destroy something and if you remove the flag it's all still there which seems like a metaphor.

Anyone else feel trapped by LLMs? When I feel demotivated at work I normally start job hunting. Now the thing that's demotivating me has become so endemic that I can't even imagine changing profession would let me escape it.

Does the ECB have an attitude problem? Losing a coach, men's captain, former women's captain and another key figure from the women's team in the space of a few weeks suggests something is sapping people's enthusiasm beyond the demands of playing the game.

@tmsproducer.bsky.social a group of umpires could be a consultation or a consensus depending on how agreeable they are or just "a coming-together" if it's cloudy.

What I've been thinking today is that a lot of people don't make judgements about things, they choose what to believe. I feel like this should be useful intel about how to change minds but I have no idea how to use it. My brain just reverts to logic which is the thing that doesn't work.

You're here because you're the best of the best. Today one of you will be recruited to the secret service tasked with protecting the president. For your final test you each have a sanitary towel, a party popper and a ketchup sachet. Your task is to improve the president's approval rating.

Is the White House now on a sex-offenders register? And if so, can you take a school trip to the home of a known sex-offender? I assume that could be problematic or at least quite a lot of paperwork.

If you like there to be stuff when you go out - roads, public transport, schools, hospitals, emergency services.. - you're a socialist. If you think you shouldn't have to pay tax for those things, you're a fantasist. If you think you should have those things but others shouldn't, you're an arsehole.

Still lots of finishing to do but my sit/stand desk is working nicely. Like always there are loads of things I could have done better but am pretty pleased with it.

My homemade sit/stand desk with a manual winch mechanism I made using some beech pulleys and paracord.

@tmsproducer.bsky.social question for Andy maybe. Can you chart the age of the England team over time? My theory is that if people want to see patient, stubborn test innings the selectors need to pick some older players. A young team are likely to be more headstrong, impatient and aggressive.

Dan Itsalltoofuckingstupid-Igiveup @innumo.bsky.social · 29/06/2026

Am a fan of Ben Stokes. His legacy will be that he made a team that looked like they enjoyed playing for England which wasn't the case before. Today though I'm off work and decided not to bother heading to Trent bridge for free day 5 tickets because it seemed unlikely that play would last an hour.

Ruin a movie with a tiny change: (the men/kings/dwarves) "Look Sauron, it's a nice ring but I barely know you. The last person who gave me a ring was my partner .. at our wedding. How about you find a nice ephemeral necromancer or whatever you're into, go on a few dates and give them your ring?"

Today's rant about BBC news coverage is more whimsical. They described an ancient football as "about the size of a small.melon". Given how many varieties of melon there are of all different sizes and the number of ball shaped things of every conceivable size this seems needlessly opaque.

What's the future career of influencers? Like when they're in their 40s/50s ... Are people going to watch tiktok clothing hauls or unboxing videos? Are there going to be a load of tired, world-weary influencers talking about sheds and pension planning?

I love the idea that the police are planning to arrest anyone who says something insightful. Would that were true! There might be zero arrests.

This is maybe a bit niche but the Honey Dijon track that #6music insist on playing every 20 minutes, when the guy in the chorus shouts "I'm listening", does anyone else hear Jar Jar Binks? It's not just the tone or the pitch of the voice but also the intonation of that phrase.

King Charles gives a very polite speech pointing out all Trump's inadequacies. BBC 6 Music news begins "President Trump says" followed by trump's claim that Charles' speech expressed support for his illegal war with Iran.

A lot of people today saying it's lunatic, fringe conspiracy theory to suggest that a habitual liar who lies about everything and surrounds himself with people who repeat his lies might be lying about a thing which it is very much in his interests to lie about.

Was thinking someone should airdrop copies of 1984 across the US but that wouldn't work. Someone should make a film adaptation where every character is played by a woman with an assault rifle.. with a kid rock soundtrack.. and one of those scrolling news tickers saying "This is about Trump"

Dear BBC news, please could there be a news update that doesn't start with "President Trump says..". Please don't use this as an excuse to tell us how many people have arrived in small boats... Or what Nigel Farage thinks about whatever Trump has most recently said. Thank you.
