I’m petrified about today’s science news. Genetically modifying crabs to have cheetah genes? This could go sideways fast.

Glad to hear you're still leading the charge.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (Original Soundtrack) Lorien Testard · Album · 2025 · 154 songs

"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" likely has the best music of any video game ever made.

I highly recommend listening to it, even if you aren't interested in games.

I haven't played it, but have been listening in the background. It's a masterpiece in its own right.

Over the years I've read quite a few parts of OpenID Connect specs, and just realised today I've been chronically misreading reading "Relying Party" as "Relaying Party" 🤦‍♂️.

Sometimes YouTube recommends some real gems. Warpigs in Amharic with a jazz metal band.

Singer has a great voice.

This fattie has been eating all of the food meant for small birds.

Mother of Millions are just an astonishingly underrated progressive rock/metal band.

President Ramkalawan sends condolence message following the passing of Mr Francis Chang-Sam “It is with deep sadness that I have learned of the passing of Mr Francis Chang Sam, a distinguished Seychellois whose invaluable contribution to the legal, political, and constitutional development ....

I am saddened to hear of the passing of Francis Chang-Sam.

Francis was a stalwart of the legal community in Seychelles, and moreover, a lovely man.

Starling bird with its beak open clinging onto a thin bamboo pieces

Noisy starling in my garden. Was oscillating between raiding my bird feeder and loudly begging for food.

Hmm, it looks like Vert.x Service Proxies do not support publish semantics?

Last night, walking down the River Tyne.

Your parents taking a deep interest in your profession is an underrated thing.

Interestingly, only those cardinals under 80 get to vote in the election.

YouTube video by The B1M Europe's New Metro is Delayed by Decades

Very interesting documentary about the metro in Thessaloniki — delayed in large part due to the rich history buried underneath the city.

Starling in my garden

Eddie Jordan: Former Formula 1 boss dies aged 76 Former Formula 1 boss and television pundit Eddie Jordan dies at the age of 76.

This is really sad. When I was at university I used to watch the F1 sometimes with one of my housemates.

Eddie Jordan was a legend, and his iconic voice and ceaseless energy were a mainstay of the commentary.

Happy St. Patrick's Day to all those who celebrate it.

Thank goodness. It has been total chaos.

That said: the writing is on the wall for Europe-US military-industrial cooperation.

We need to ensure Europe can fully defend itself and back Ukraine entirely autonomously of USA.

I have to admit, the French were correct.

Very proud of the huge crowds that turned out to greet Zelensky in London.

Trump is a vile man. My full support to Ukraine.

I just drank about 1/3 (or more) a super strong 500ml energy drink; I think someone's gonna need to scrape me off the ceiling in a few minutes.

How the hell do people drink these on a daily basis!

Please don't reward a fascist by bending the knee to Trump's demands to control the media.

Wasted all day fighting with my IDE.

Ended up deleting the shit out of all metadata I can find and now it’s all working again 🙄.

Baklava: jumping backwards into a volcano

A few times while visiting family in Seychelles and travelling on very small island-hopping aircraft, passengers were denied boarding due to weight.

They weigh you on the baggage scales, and a large gentleman was unfortunately too much for that flight 😱😅. He had to catch the next one.

TFW you realised the Smith Machine bar is only 11.3 kg
