Lewes is flooded? I’ll send supplies.

Annoying “today’s office” post.

The Concept C Is the All-Electric Sports Car Kick-Starting Audi’s Design Future The TT-inspired roadster debuts Audi’s new strategy for “radical simplicity”—and it looks terrific.

The new Audi concept car looks very nice. Still no indicators, presumably. www.wired.com/story/aud…

I might have to stop collecting pocket notebooks soon.

General reminder that our month-and-a-bit of streams starts next week, with a slightly revised time for @juliansimpson.bsky.social

Be there and/or be square!

Today’s “Wednesday Wonders” is now up on the site.

Went to see Weapons last night. So refreshing to see someone thinking outside the box and doing something different. Unusually, I hadn’t seen any trailers and, if it’s not too late, I recommend you do the same.

Honestly, if someone is getting AI to write their wedding speech, you SHOULD NOT MARRY THEM. Get a ChatGPT subscription and a vibrator, it's going to be cheaper and a lot less disappointing in the long run.

Politically acceptable UK racism is rising, even under La... As I wrote these words last autumn: “We have made progress... even though that progress remains fragile and insufficient”, little did I realise just how ...

This is outstanding. God knows what Labour is doing: legitimising the racism that'll be its undoing, losing the coalition which put it in office, trying to secure voters who will never support it, digging its own moral grave.

Cartoon Gravity 37 Hello and welcome to another Sunday. I find myself emerging from another period of digital indecision, as I mess around trying to figure what apps I need to do what (and then inevitably end up writing whatever-it-is down on a piece of paper). I won't bore you with the ups

The latest newsletter is winging its way to subscribers. Pens, a Prairie-style house in Cornwall, talking to whales, missing Orient Express trains - your Sunday rabbit-hole is opening up:

I deleted it Grandad

Current listening: Miles Davis, “55”. I don’t need to tell you how good this is.

Recently finished reading: Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell 📚, which is stupendously good. I still prefer Bone Clocks, but that may be because it was the first of his that I ahd read. I think if I had read Cloud Atlas when it came out, and known nothing about it, I would still be in recovery.

Fellow micro.bloggers, please make yourselves known.

OK. So micro.blog seems to be a way to post and interact on Bluesky etc without being subjected to everyone else’s bastard opinions?! Essentially it allow me to scream out the window, which is what I would have been doing anyway.

Trying out the micro.blog service. Things might get a little weird for a while.

Kyle is a genius

Reviews don't get better than "Forgot where I was while at the dentist"!

I’m quitting the news app because the journalism is so poor. That headline and image is clearly intended to convey the idea that this incident happened in the UK.

The BBC fuel racism with an unfounded panic story for clicks

For future reference, this is the thing that finally made me delete the BBC News app. Despite the picture of Dover, this happened in France. And he didn’t see anyone pull a knife, he heard about it afterwards. From an Express hack. This is not journalism.
