A moth got into the shelter tonight and it was the event of the season.

Thanks Kate xx
I miss Iggy every day. Lumen is completely different from him. That's the CDS at work - it knows what it's doing. Here she is, being spectacularly herself.

This is how I want to be mourned. #CelebrityTraitors #Traitors

This reads to me very much like the tale of somebody who once said PRIMM-er by mistake in front of people and got the piss absolutely ripped out of them, and who after many many years of hard work and perseverance finally achieved control of the Merriam-Webster social media accounts

Yes, that dread...! You think it prepares you, but of course it doesn't. It all seems so sudden and unthinkable. All the best to you and your family x

Thanks Steve. I'm sorry to hear about your two, it is a horrible experience. Iggy is still such a presence in our house. I think he always will be.

zeldawilliams 20m From Create Mode •• Please, just stop sending me AI videos of Dad. Stop believing I wanna see it or that I'll understand, I don't and I won't. If you're just trying to troll me, I've seen way worse, i'll restrict and move on. But please, if you've got any decency, just stop doing this to him and to me, to everyone even, full stop. It's dumb, it's a waste of time and energy, and believe me, it's NOT what he'd want. To watch the legacies of real people be condensed down to 'this vaguely looks and sounds like them so that's enough, , just so other people can churn out horrible TikTok slop puppeteering them is maddening. You're not making art, you're making disgusting, over-processed hotdogs out of the lives of human beings, out of the history of art and music, and then shoving them down someone else's throat hoping they'll give you a little thumbs up and like it. Gross.

And for the love of EVERYTHING, stop calling it 'the future. Al is just badly recycling and regurgitating the past to be reconsumed. You are taking in the Human Centipede of content, and from the very very end of the line, all while the folks at the front laugh and laugh, consume and consume.

You're in for a treat. ❤️

What a privilege to see @edwyncollins.bsky.social on his testimonial tour. Glorious voice, impeccable songs and one hell of a band. Curious choice of venue (basically a church hall in Southampton) but there was so much love in that room. Thank you for everything, Edwyn.

La Voix and her dad Richard dressed in identical red wigs, shoes and gowns looking absolutely phenomenal

La Voix’s dad Richard, who will be 80 soon, was her drag family resemblance makeover on Drag Race UK last year. He was so entirely unflappable and supportive of Chris and it made everyone cry on Gogglebox too #Strictly #SCD

Thanks Peter xx

Thank you Stef x

Thank you Tracey, it doesn't quite feel real xx

Thank you Daphne, be well beautiful girl x

Thank you so much! Sorry not to reply sooner, I've really allowed my bluesky habit to slip.... temporarily I hope

Thank you, Kate. And THANK YOU IGGY, for everything. I'll be back.

Thank you so much for posting this, Kate. I haven't been on bluesky for a while, I'd like to pick up the habit again. When Iggy died I knew there'd be people here who care about him and would miss him. Ugh, I'm still in denial... what a few weeks it's been. Anyway. Thank you again x

You're welcome guys! Excellent piece

If you use AI for your product video, I respect your company less Synthetic product shots and presenter videos don’t just create a bad first impression – they toxify your entire brand

Fully expected to be too lazy to skeet again until Eurovision 2026, but I saw this from the ever-excellent @itpro.com and had to share. Please for the love of god stop putting AI-gen rhinos in your newsletters. www.itpro.com/technology/a...

Recently been listening to an audiobook (Exit Stage Left by Nick Duerden) that mentions this album, and a number of times he calls it "99.9 degrees fahrenheit". Seriously the rage it triggered in me...

Absolutely. The evening was 90% joy and 5% horrible fear. Seems a very small proportion of viewers actually vote, so it's effectively a low-turnout election and can be influenced very easily. Of course EBL will never release a breakdown voting data, it'd undermine their credibility.

I've sort of lost the social media habit since that boy burnt down Twitter. Haven't forgotten you, though. Here's a pic of Iggy watching last night's semi. He liked Malta.

Who is behind the great rock’n’roll ripoff? How Ticketmaster swallowed the live entertainment scene From grassroots gigs to stadium shows, there’s no escaping the ticketing giant, making billions from hiking up prices (and whacking on fees)

For the Saturday Guardian I dug into the history of Ticketmaster and how the ticketing industry works to work out why tickets at the top level have become so expensive and hard to get

It's a Clem-shaped morning #nowplaying

A color photo of a cafe scene in Paris. There are small tables and one table has a woman with red hair writing with a pen. There is a newspaper and a coffee cup on the table. The background is blurry but you can see human figures.
