Now in Somerset. Go Bristol City! And Huddersfield Town. And Huddersfield Giants. And Congresbury Cricket Club. And Somerset, Yorkshire and Derbyshire County Cricket Clubs (not necessarily in that order).

@octopus.energy How can I get in contact with Octopus After Care for help with a PV+battery you installed 2 years ago? I've been trying for 3 weeks by phone and email. Installation team & Customer Services even raise internal tickets for me but I never get any response to email, phone or ticket.

“Hubble and Webb are like looking through a keyhole at an individual object,” says Kristen McQuinn, who heads the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope mission office at the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore. “With Roman, it’s like opening the door, and now you see everything." 🔭 #NASARoman

How Roman will unlock the universe
This next-generation space telescope will blow past its predecessors to answer questions about everything from stars and planets to dark matter and dark energy.

No gloating, please. This is democracy, investigative journalism and a very serious Met Police investigation. It is, however, rather entertaining.

The models are not intelligent. They're directed to achieve a predetermined goal but not given specific instructions on how to achieve it. Think of them as worker ants bringing food back to the nest. The real problem with AI is that the humans developing it don't understand "sand box".

I wake up every day thinking "If only I had a spare kitchen for guests to admire while I cook my arse off in the dirty kitchen they'll never see! Ha. Haha. HAHAHA!" ... One day.

How will anyone in the US identify anything when everything is named Donald Trump? Scenario: A:I'll meet you at 7pm on the bridge B:Which bridge? A:Donald Trump Bridge B:Which Donald Trump Bridge? A:The one next to Donald Trump Plaza B:Which Donald Trump Plaza? A:Do you have What 3 Words?

We don't all check our email every five minutes. Could your app use a notification? Or is it really just a PR exercise and nothing to do with saving energy?

Moduro is a dictator (who actually did steal an election), not a leader. You're spot on with the rest of it, though.

Digital ID is potentially marvellous in a world of democracy and guard rails and Rule of Law (the world I grew up in). We no longer live in that world. In any case, Starmer wants a digital ID that discriminates and disqualifies. It's not about entitlement and access.

The brief illumination of the room looks genuine. Old house. Electrics probably flaky. The shadow is likely an artefact of the digital sensor. Knowing the spec of the camera would be interesting but, in terms of evidence, there's nothing here. Of course I'm still not convinced by Juan's testimony.

If it comes to that, where are the dog tags? Surely he would have wanted to identify the soldier and inform their family? Doesn't add up. Franky the only explanation that joins all the dots is the original one posited: the fellow and his entire family are werewolves.

@dannyrobins.bsky.social Interesting story in the Spanish mansion. Can't help thinking there was some embellishment. Took a while to hear that "grandma died in that room". The Medium was local so obviously already had confirmation bias. Dog tags and a human bone? Who confirmed it was a human bone?

The Congresbury/Yatton junction is now "The best place to enjoy endless traffic delays outside Cornwall". Pundits say it's preferable as the nearby Yatton railway station allows enthusiasts to return home for a few days before returning to their vehicle refreshed and ready to enjoy further delays.

@northsomersetc.bsky.social You need to do something about the temporary traffic lights at the Brinsea Road/A370 junction. They're causing absolute chaos.

I watched it for two seconds after finally catching up with Super League (which BBC Sport almost never report on, bizarrely). Then I turned off the TV.

I don't understand why a Supreme Court ruling that says DOING something is NOT illegal is being interpreted universally as NOT DOING that same something IS illegal. Has everyone gone mad?

The problem the Labour Party has is that they're allowing the facts of the ruling, which is specific to the Equality Act, to be hijacked by various opposing self interest groups.

There are so many rescue dogs from overseas nowadays that today when we said our dog is a rescue we were asked "what country is she from?". We said "Bristol".

If we choose not to understand our own planet, we might as well not be human. We should give way to orangutans, dolphins and flying squirrels.

Which is pretty much exactly what I was about to remark. The US voted for this. Say what you like about the Electoral College, that's the system and it has worked. How many people who voted for that result also thought they were voting for this, is a question which will be answered in two years 🤞🏻

I'm redesigning my home network. Lots of temporary UTP cables (not all the correct colour but the correct length), one cable on order (in red, which is correct for its intended purpose), a lot of head scratching and a load of WiFi and power line gear which may or may not be heading for recycling.
