Agreeing with mostly everyone that Pluribus on Apple TV is incredible.

Oooo bases is out on Obsidian. Now to try and ignore that and write up my notes I need.

This is lovely!

This is excellent! Really enjoying it

A seat map showing tickets being resold at double the cost.

Got in the queue 9:45 (opened at 10am) this morning for @letterslive.com tickets, my favourite event of the year. Entirely sold out before I got the chance to purchase, then by 12 they're being resold at more than double. The world is infinitely frustrating sometimes.

As a British person I can confirm never clap at me for anything other than running a race.

I’m OOO today and used the time to plot the fact over a vintage map of the moon.

New piece,

Really happy with my recent piece, Britishness on an 1800s antique map of England. In glittering gold ink. ✨

Percy Pig’s US adventure may be short-lived as M&S responds to Trump tariffs Retailer’s ‘gift to America’ could be hit by new taxes as it also adjusts to rules on advertising high fat, sugar and salt foods

I think this might actually be a step too far in tariff response.

Dreams on Toast The Darkness · Album · 2025 · 10 songs

Really enjoying this eccentric mixed bag Rock and Roll album from The Darkness.

Saw Peter Kay at the o2 last night.

It’s quite a mixed bag of a spectacle. Very much watching someone pick up where they left off 20 years ago. I think that’s exactly what people wanted him to do.

Nike Fuelband

At the end of the month it'll be 10 years since they stopped making the coolest wearable.

The latest Invincible was just brutal.

Love that @tomscott.com came out of retirement for the new series of @jetlagthegame.bsky.social 🎉

The latest season of Severance, I think it might be not good?

YouTube video by Figma Config 2024: The broken promises of design systems (Cam Worboys, Head of Design, OS at Cash App)

Brilliant talk about consistency and expression and ensuring you have a balance with intention. Ridiculously good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BQXTt-NZ2Bs

Good heavens I tried 10 minutes of the Meghan Markle tv show. Absolutely tone deaf and vacuous. I have no idea what this is or who it’s for.

Iceland's Eurovision entry looks like a @joelycett.bsky.social prank. I'm not certain it isn't.

Trying to get any tickets these days for a popular event is ridiculous. John Williams in Berlin sold out in the waiting room I was there 30 minutes before they went on sale.

This is mad, a cassette that has a little screen and works both as a real tape and an mp3 player. I don’t have a use for this but it’s a thing of beauty.

Sitting in a crowded Toronto coffee shop I wrote about my perfect Sunday device that’s almost but not quite an iPad.

Putting together a greatest of all time playlist, do I just put the entire Rumours album from Fleetwood Mac? I think I do.

The ridiculous R5 Turbo Car

I think this might be the most ridiculous car I've seen in a long while. It looks like a 16 year old converted their nan's car.

Matt smiling at a cat and the cat is smiling back.

My wife grabbed my camera for these and I was really happy how they came out.

Deleting my threads, not much was worth saving apart from this poem about tea.

Poured milk amiss,
in to the dark tea abyss.
Pale white and taste askew,
time to start a cup anew.

I finally won a @playbalatro.com run.
