A stray wisp of carbon, adrift in an indifferent universe—a worthless pawn in the hopeless battle against entropy and absurdity. Having the time of my life; which, after all, is all we can have until it’s over. I also like cheese.
- It has been a few days, and after some time to get used to it I would like to revise my opinion of iOS 26 and its re “Liquid Glass” design language. I can now confidently say that I seriously dislike. It’s ugly, and worse still it’s janky. #apple #ios #iphone
- Thinking about making #YouTube videos again. If I ever call it “content,” feel free to slap me. Same goes for saying “without further ado” before wasting more time by cutting to a cheesy intro. And if I ever flash or fade to white—slap me twice.
- My wife, casually streaming to over 1000 people on #Twitch right now. www.twitch.tv/morerisu
- Love this. youtube.com/shorts/tP4sv...
- Hey #Midjourney Create "A Squirrel wearing a crown holding a golden acorn, digital art." ...erm, are you OK Midjourney?

- Totally fucking agree my N-WORD.
- The Blue Prince is excellent. I assume you’ve played it — or are playing it @zomda.bsky.social. #games #TheBluePrince

- No worries. I think you would enjoy it.
- #Nosferatu Narratively thin and lacking character development, the film leans heavily on visual spectacle and a few standout performances. That said, everything’s better with Willem Dafoe—glad he escaped The Lighthouse. #letterboxed #film #WillemDafoeMakesThingsBetter letterboxd.com/deviantrobot...
- Very odd and “vivid” #dreams last night. Despite having pronounced #Aphantasia, such that I can’t “see” images in my dreams, I can still experience dreams with varying degrees of vividness. Like stories, they can carry a strong or weak sense of verisimilitude , presence or connection.

- I’d genuinely love to see those books—and hear what you consider British food. I certainly struggle to define it. Returning from Japan was tough for many reasons, not least going from a passionate food culture to one that too often prioritises quantity and price over quality and experience.
- New things! The Green Knight (2021) because it was awesome and deserves to be seen without Amazon Primes belief that cubism is the only way to experience dark or low contrast scenes. And Nosferatu (2024) because after The Lighthouse (2019) and The Witch (2015) I will watch all the Eggers. #film
- Hey #Lego, you have become confused again.
- Can someone explain how #LinkedIn Premium could possibly be worth £70/month? I was expecting £7—and even then! It’s mostly inane motivational memes and “insightful” business BS. Do they print it, leather-bind it, and have it recited to you during a deep tissue massage with optional happy ending?
- @zomda.bsky.social @rogger.bsky.social - Do you chaps use this? What am I missing?
- UK public opinion on re-joining the EU: First off—“Neither” clearly the option for people who enjoy quantum indeterminacy at a political level. But more importantly, how are there still so many people who think leaving was a good idea? #Brexit #RejoinEU
- Now that our "special friend" has shown it's willing to shaft its allies right up the economy, what are we calling the UK's return to the EU? #BreeerrraghmagahdWeFuckedUpOhShiitOhShiitOhShiit!
- As a lifelong and committed #CoffeeLover, I now find I need to avoid #Coffee for health reasons (even #Decaf). Looking to replace my morning #DripCoffee fix—has anyone had much luck with #Chicory? It’s not terrible, but if you can recommend a good #ChicoryCoffee brand, I’d appreciate it.
- Rewatched the annoyingly titled LOL: Last One Laughing—a "witty" redefinition immediately undermined by comedy’s greatest nemesis: the need to explain. Genuinely enjoyed it. After seeing the Japanese original (Documental), I’d always wondered what a British version might be like. A lot less nudity.
- I would basically watch anything that has #RichardAyoade in it, #BobMortimer, #JoeWilkinson, #RobBeckett, #LouSanders we excellent and I thought #HarrietKemsley was very good also.

- Why is this joke so hard for you to remember?
- Watched 'The Green Knight' (2021) last night and absolutely loved it. I’d been put off by people claiming it was “confusing” or “aimless”. These people were rounded up and shot at dawn as a public service to prevent further inane comments being made. #letterboxd #film letterboxd.com/deviantrobot...
- They should be fine, they’re highly unlikely to need to parallel park. Also, despite the gushing about “female empowerment,” the women’s magazine—written by women, for women—leads with details on the flight crew's photoshoot and outfit choices. Hooray feminism. www.elle.com/culture/cele...

- We all love a good edging session, but I feel that you are once again changing the subject and not addressing the as yet unrevealed joke. I am beginning to think you never had a joke, and that I have been taken as a fool.
- Q. What's Sisyphus's favourite music? A. He likes early 90's Britpop.

- So, you aren’t going to tell me the joke?
- You said you had “told it many times before” but surely that only matters if people had heard a previous recitation.
- Seriously though, what was the joke, it sounded quite good.
- Well I for one haven’t heard it before; perhaps it’s worth sharing after all.
- This morning, my jet-lagged wife took a bath at 6am and woke me up — so, now we both have jet-lag.
- I absolutely love the Technology Connections YouTube channel. It’s one of those rare gem channels that doesn’t seem to be as well known as it should be. Genuinely, accessible, charming and informative. youtube.com/@technologyc... Keep being awesome. @techconnectify.bsky.social #youtube
- Republican’s say #Trump is using ‘noblesse oblige’ to consolidate power. They must mean ‘knobless oblige’! I’m saying he has no penis. Obviously, he has a penis—but I’m being mean cos I don’t like him. I might also say he is a knob. But since a knob itself has no knob, my point would still stand.
- Is mayonnaise egg jam? #thoughts
- [Not loaded yet]
- Fruit jam preserves fruit in sugar and pectin; mayonnaise preserves egg yolk through emulsification in oil and acid—both producing a thick consistency. Both preserve raw ingredients so can be said to be preserves. Preserves are colloquially referred to as “jams,” mayonnaise is egg jam. #checkmate

- Have you considered that we might, in fact, all just be a very blurry episode of Inside No 9?
- Cool. youtu.be/D3eHKI0nvKA?...
- Is that the same model on the iPad?
- Today I woke up at 6am and fixed ~150 bugs for my client. I found my self starting to look forward to the weekend…

- That is one fine looking goblin! Well done sir!
- Fun fact. I have had a #headache all day.
- I wish both the Left and the Right would learn the meaning of Chesterton's Fence. They keep tearing down fences and then, without a hint of self-awareness, complain that things aren't working right and ask, 'Why has no one put some sort of barrier here?'
- My friend Steven Parton interviewed Adam Zeman about #Aphantasia — something he and I both have. Interestingly, we both seem to have the more pronounced form, where even our dreams lack imagery. youtu.be/TdSwDUONWLg?...
- @zomda.bsky.social it’s not what it looks like. I am stalking you. :)

- Not BlueSky. I tried Mastodon, but it didn’t quite click. This feels better — I like the domain-based verification and the clean UI. Also, I appreciate the absence of overly excited fascists, which, apparently, is something I now have to factor in. Also, yes probably. ❤️
- Thinking of watching Top Secret! (1984) this weekend. Always loved Val Kilmer in that movie and haven't seen it in decades. #ripValKilmer
- I had the alarming experience of largely agreeing with Pierce Morgan this morning as he beat up on MAGA over the US Yemen attack Signal chat mess. I feel unclean. #Signalgate
- Looking forward to the article about how #DASHWater is made from orphan tears and makes you hair go on fire at some point. Nothing that tastes that nice and has 0 calories can be free of consequences. I am starting to fear the consequences.
- It’s a shame that more people don’t understand the Dunning-Kruger effect as well I do. I reckon I understand it loads. #dunning-kruger
