@theinformation.com writing about “unobtrusive” note-taking apps as if having your conversations recorded without your consent is OK. It is not.

Someone takes a lot of care over these biscuit jars. I wonder if they do this every day? How long does it take for folks to reach the bottom layer? So many questions! #britishairways

Come on @theguardian.com you don’t need to put a picture of Fishface into every single article about UK politics! Especially an article about *Labour MPs* picking the next PM

Guardian article by Peter Walker talking about Labour party rules for selecting a new leader. At the end of the piece it talks about Labour MPs worrying that in a GE, they would lose to Reform if led by Starmer. The accompanying photo for the article is of Farage

@sill.social looks interesting but I'm not sure why it needs authority to "Create, update, and delete any public record". That's a no from me, sorry.

Looking at a repo that describes the leaked #Claude CLI code and it has taken an unexpected turn: 18 species of "buddy" randomly assigned, with a 1% chance of being "shiny" - I'm beginning to think it's not Claude but Pokémon? github.com/Kuberwastake...

Plan A for NYE has been foiled by an evil winter lurgy that friends have picked up, but I am happy with Plan B which involves playing an escape room game with @philpearl.bsky.social and eating as many of the desserts I made for Plan A as we like!
