Setting aside wider political debate about HS2, this is a very nice touch.

Commemorative plaque in HS2 tunnel where it passes beneath the cemetery in which Marc and Isambard Brunel are buried.

An anti-perspirant that keeps your pits in a super position of both sweaty and not sweaty until you actually check? Tested on cats? What the ever living fuck are you on about Unilever?

Doubt this tbh. Badly cropped version of a larger photo, complete with "friend of a friend claim", zero sources outside Facebook groups and nothing in the weather data to suggest the right conditions for it. Looks like a crop from a video, as just a bit too well framed for a claimed 3am photo.

Looks crazily fake until you see the video it's a still from. Somewhat difficult for Putin to claim war is going his way when this is the current view in Moscow...

Supposed to be a pic of catface curled up cutely on the stairs, but had auto-flash on, so instead...DEMON CAT!

Some pleasing grabs for quick video I took of lightning storm over Milton Keynes Tuesday night. Made up for the four hour clusterfuck of a commute!

See also sales teams constructing all kinds of weird commercial flows or promises to customers then expecting me to back-engineer VAT to fit, only to get all pissy when I tell them that's not how that works.

If our navy is that rubbish, he won't be needing any of it to help bail him out in Iran will he. Also, not sure we should be taking military strategy lectures from a Commander in Chief who leaves $600m of AWACS in the open in full range of Iranian drones...

Because only a company that was confident in the utility of their tech would resort to egregious bollocks like this. Sorry, but it's a consent violation at that point...

Bandcamp recently changed their terms to explicitly prohibit AI. I'd previously flagged a metal label with obvious AI content, but wasn't against terms at the time. Reported again after their term change, and they've confirm label is in violation and has been removed.

The only threat this man posed was to the tragically fragile egos of those who shot him. They just can't cope with being challenged and have to lash out. It would be sad were it not so dangerous. 2A folks ought to be on the street over this, but hey, it's their team doing to the tyranny, so meh.

Yep, even if people say "ah, well, a lot isn't reported", actual NHS stats for treatment of knife wounds is down considerably, so unless there's a subset of people treating themselves... Meanwhile:-

Holds true for Co-Pilot as well. Yes, I am making a presentation / chart / pivot table / sandwich. I know where you are if I need you (which I don't). Stop begging me to use you, it's unbecoming.

Back from a really nice evening watching Brian Cox work in progress show. Had a section about the Voyager probes, including showing the NASA Deep Space Network, which gives live status of what's being talked to. Just got home and jumped online to check it out and....

It was a very, VERY big boom. Depot site originally quite isolated, but had a business park (end even houses) built up to more or less the site boundary over the years, so shockwave tore through a lot of stuff. Thankfully at 6am on a Sunday.

Teeny tiny coastline! Sort of like the border between Northants and Lincolnshire, which is basically a hedge just off the A1.

Further additional also. Wizzair livery and interior rather pleasingly reminds me of Onyx F1 team.

Off to see Shit-Faced Shakespeare tonight, and taking a few of these with us. Either that or pay 4x that for more or less same volume spirit / wine at the theatre bar. Hmm.

As seen from office window this afternoon. I almost admire the low key "I've also got a helicopter" boast. Either that or Chris Barrie is doing exceptionally well for himself.

Other "bedroom wall poster" supercars of that era (F40, 959, Diablo, EB110 etc.) tend to look a bit dated now, but XJ220 really has aged incredibly well. TWR modified version possibly even prettier, albeit at cost of understatement.

Even more impressive from this angle. Reports elsewhere suggest hit a parked vehicle in the retail park, so seems to be "oops, wrong pedal" moment that's popped it up and over the embankment.

In the wild at Brum Bizarre Bazaar! Loving the light blue, and really need to get a petsuit in the same shade. Maybe also a dress of some sort, as this definitely feels like the combo with which to explore non-masculine expression.

Latest Microsoft nonsense. Currently no option to permanently disable, at least in Office version we're using. If I want to use Co-Pilot (I don't), it's in the ribbon. This is akin to a pop-up ad, is somehow even more annoying than Clippy ever was and can just fuck right off.
