m'colleague @katiecollins.bsky.social makes some very good points, as always

Just putting it out there: now would be the perfect time to invite me to Silverstone for the F1.

People keep getting wound up about hypothetical crying babies on planes. Let’s be real, the number one threat to your peace on any flight is far more likely be a stag do or just simply a man who had too much to drink

I Stepped Into the Future of Hyper-Connected Entertainment. It Made Me Surprisingly Emotional Our favorite things now span imaginary worlds from movies to video games to theme parks. Epic Universe is the latest, biggest step.

Sorry Shoppers, Amazon Says Tariff Cost Feature 'Is Not Going to Happen' The White House said that if Amazon listed tariff prices next to products, it would be considered a "hostile and political act." But the company denies any plans to do so.

Amazon spokesperson Tim Doyle on the rumour the company would list tariff costs by products: “The team that runs our ultra low-cost Amazon Haul store considered the idea of listing import charges on certain products. This was never approved and is not going to happen." www.cnet.com/tech/service...

I think Aimee Lou Wood might now be the most famous alumnus from my high school

Interesting that Sky should launch the Sky Glass 2 on the same day it put up Sky Mobile prices 🤔 I’m sure it’s just a coincidence 😉

The launch of the Powerbeats Pro 2 has not come a moment too soon for me, a person who has worn their old Powerbeats to death and refuses to go running without them www.cnet.com/tech/mobile/...

I know it’s the smallest of problems right now, but the new administration has changed the fonts on the Whitehouse website and they are ugggggly

Ooh they look good!

I’m in the market for a sustainably made phone case (as far as that’s actually possible). Any recommendations?
