So much of this nonsense is based on "I don't see why we need this thing so we should just get rid of it." Do we really need to bring back birth defects just to prove 'politicians' like this wrong?

Seinfeld and Frasier to me are like LIDL and ALDI. I know they're different yet my brain treats them as a single entity.

My best NOT sleeping story is pulling an all-nighter revision blitz to cram a year's worth of unattended lectures into my brain. The pro plus & coffee couldn't stop me hallucinating little characters dancing on the screen of my graphic calculator & I just wrote an apology to the person marking it.

I am also in the situation of having far too many tools and random screws whilst never having quite the right ones for the job. It probably wouldn't be helpful for me to say I actually used some random bits of ikea leftover parts recently to build out a divider in a new cupboard.

I have a food opinion. Most food tastes ok. There's an upper limit to how nice something tastes and beyond that it's just hype.

Improving your Monday morning with this Bearded Tit. You are welcome. 📷️ @ronpon22.bsky.social
A Bearded Tit stands on a mossy branch, its feathers puffed up into a perfectly round ball. Its warm buff-coloured plumage, pale face and tiny orange bill give it an irresistibly fluffy appearance, while one foot is lifted mid-step as though it's waddling along.

Have to say, I know this is responding to yet another "government is considering..." (ie prob not gonna happen) posts but I'm not feeling like they're considering much of value at the moment.

"Could I ask the panel, what is your favourite Reform policy... and whyyyy?" And... "If the country could go back to any decade, which minority group's rights would you be most happy to be rolled back?"

I've just got a box full of random CDs from the local free page, with some compilations that aren't on streaming. Had every intention of ripping them to my hard disk then remembered this is the only machine I have left with a CD drive

Went to see The Importance of Being Earnest while on holiday with my grandparents as a child and although I can't really remember the story, we can still have a whole conversation for a few minutes with me, my mum, my grandma and uncle just saying "a haaaaandbaaag?" In turn 😄

The cynic in me thinks that the AI companies are trying to give themselves a bit of an off ramp to allow them to slow down a bit. If they all say that "something bad might happen" then if governments kick in with stricter regulation, they can hold their hands up and say "fair cop, guv, you're right"

It's the same around 'corporate' bits of software too. "hey, why do we need to pay for this SaaS product when we can just build our own with AI and use that" ...until it breaks. And then senior mgmt start looking for someone to shout at and realise nobody knows how it works.

A little pet hate I have is these brands don't seem to care that owners of similar-looking previous generation products will get tarred with the same brush. Ye Olde Ray Ban wearer? "Hey, no perv glasses in here thx" Apple Watch Series 4 owner? "Please power off your spy device before entering"

The new Leeds Skelton Grange complex is to be built on the site of an old coal fired power station and is literally next to a new facility for turning waste into electricity, and still the NIMBY posse keep grumbling.

It's the conflation of data centres with AI slop that winds me up the most. I am a professional user/admin of Microsoft cloud-based products and MS are building a data centre near me. I'm also aware of the current limitations on UK-based capacity so welcome the opportunity to increase it.

A challenge for Lego is what to do with the thing once it's been built. When I got Lego sets as a kid, I'd build it as per the instructions, play with it then break it apart and add it to my ever-growing tub of misc Lego pieces. The adult-targeted sets are destined to gather dust on shelves forever

I saw him in Babes in the Wood at the Bradford Alhambra. Can't remember much about him but I can remember my parents were VERY excited to see him and Bella Emberg😃 Seems like a nice chap and has managed to avoid the bitterness that seems to plague comedians from a certain era.

Enjoyed the episode, thank you. My pet peeve that would make the neighbourhood look like somebody cares would be to clean / replace / unjungle road signs. So many are almost illegible due to build up of crud, undergrowth or just faded to the point of uselessness. Save Our Signs!

Was in Sainsbury's tonight where a lad was whizzing about the aisles on a DIY e bike. None of the staff were bothered. Did my civic duty and said "I'm not sure you're meant to be riding that inside", to which he replied "Erm, yeah I think I am" and promptly whizzed off again. All a bit surreal tbh

If you're going to take the alcohol out of gin, you might as well take the water out too. Gin squash, anyone?
