The UK's AI minister just made a big and important admission on AI & copyright, which creatives around the country will celebrate: "It is currently illegal to develop a frontier large language model based on the transformer architecture given the copyright position that we have in this country”.

Thought I'd be a smartass and told my Dad to piss off in French earlier, forgetting he speaks as much French as I do (which isn't much, but enough to understand that) 🤦🏼‍♀️

It's shocking to me how many developers' portfolio websites are truly terrible examples of UI/UX. I put on my potential customer hat and all I can think is.. I don't want that. Over engineered, often AI generated, offensive typography, jarring scroll bugs, awful performance, poorly crafted copy 🤦🏼‍♀️

For the non-adhd folk, this is when you've had momentum and direction and you were feeling on top of the world but you ran out of spoons unexpectedly and you're left with the overwhelming need to get things done but feeling too broken to do them.

Been using Zed for a lil while now and I'm loving it tbh. I miss Neovim but it's such a pain getting it to play nicely with Astro wrt formatting etc and every time I throw something at Zed it just works 😅 My favourite feature, though..
A screenshot from the Zed settings dialog. Title is "AI", subtitle is "General". Underneath that there is an option entitled "Disabled AI" with the description "Whether to disable all AI features in Zed" - which I have checked, obviously 😅

Given the whole iced coffee discourse I'm gonna offer you a top tip from an oldie who's had lots of jobs and lots of interviews. If the person interviewing you is an ass, find out if they're gonna be your boss. If they are, fuck that job, because they're an ass and that's who you'll be working for.

ADHD is a significant disability and people with it benefit greatly from treatment (not always medication, but, yes, including medication). ADHD is not laziness, is not moral failure, and is not “minor”.

Weeeell I was about to lay my head down and listen to a mindscape and fall asleep.. then I get a notification that PBS SpaceTime released a video titled “The Universe May Have Just Revealed the True Nature of Empty Space”. Shit is literally katnip.

I'm genuinely surprised by how much I am enjoying Astro. I mean, it has all the ingredients that should have told me I'd probably enjoy it, but you never really know until you bake the cake, and this one is delicious. Also using scoped CSS for generating static content is 😗👌

Total side note, I've been using @vivaldi.com for a while and I'm kinda loving it tbh. Bit quirky in places but I've grown to see past them which is unusual for me. My favourite features are tiled tabs and tapping CTRL+Tab to cycle between the two most recently used tabs. Oh and the privacy ofc 👌

Thinking how it's a shame you can't nuclear block bigots IRL. Like imagine you pause for a moment and navigate a lil popup in your head, click add to list, and poof they just instavanish from your universe right in front of your eyes.

It takes so much more effort to be a shit human than it does to be a good one. You can literally do /nothing/ and be better than a shit human. I understand why shit humans are shit for profit, it's for the profit, but I'll never understand why shit humans will happily be shit for free.

you know it’s actually fine to stand up for trans rights for the sake of trans people, and you don’t always have to connect it to broader ideas of bodily autonomy and gender roles right? like, stand up for trans rights or it’ll also hurt people that matter!

Final note, being ADHD is hard, so if you feel like you're finding it hard, it's because it is, not because you're failing at finding it easy.

Kat is ✨phenomena✨ @kathryndeplume.com · 21/09/2026
On this, the problem is often timing and/or actioning. Do it too early and it becomes background noise and won't work. Don't action it /first thing/ in the morn and it becomes background noise and won't work. So much of ADHD coping is learning to make things easier but tackle them from both ends 🙃

So listen, this shit does make me angry and I'm not quiet about it, but there's another side to me that I feel also needs to be aired, which is that this shit just makes me fight harder, because I /refuse/ to be defined by other people's opinions on these subjects. I deserve to /live/ my life.

Hey so fun fact, GPs aren't qualified to assess ADHD. This means nothing. The people who DO assess ADHD and those who study it say its underqualified. This is written to sound damning but when you give it 2 seconds of thought, you realise how worthless this is

Was very confused when I woke up and my iPad was gone but apparently I smacked it off the night stand while sleeping and it was lying on the floor with its case all folded up behind it like Peter Griffin's arm.
