I commute semi-regularly between Godalming and Dorking. This is accurate

Yes, amazing work! Congrats to TB and @dquerey.bsky.social

It's a wild ride

Have you read* Werner Herzog's autobiog? Your story about the kid picking up poo, and your admiration for him, could have come straight from it.

(*actually, listening to the audiobook version is 100x better)

Did you enjoy a cold beverage?

In case you need a re-up

@chrispople.bsky.social Cause for celebration…

Noreen Riols, SOE operative, with a middle-aged couple

I really enjoyed your talk last night, and the Noreen Riols mention was a delightful surprise (it was me that said hi as I left).

Here's a pic of her back in 2019 after giving a talk about her career in SOE, and a 2013 interview with her on Radio 4: app.box.com/s/vk2vm21cgj...

It's well worth watching the whole talk if you can spare the time – he's quite the storyteller

A recaptcha challenge of an alien from the Predator movie franchise riding a motorcycle, saying "select all squares with motorcycles"

Now I've seen some weird shit on the Internet, but this is a real recaptcha that popped up when I was logging into Instagram

Hey, congrats, that's awesome news. I've literally just been talking about Mastodon in a client meeting

Sorry, my brain isn't open rent-free for these eejits.

Begone!

The thing I really want is a rock solid monitor arm though. When I’m typing there’s a slight shake passed on to my screen which bugs me

I was in an Apple Store recently and their studio display is rather lovely. Slightly higher vertical pix than mine but a bit smaller. It might be my next screen when this one bites the dust (it’s starting to play up a little, so might not be that long…)

That feels like too much screen to me! What res is it? I’m on a flat 35” 5k2k ultrawide which is a tiny bit wide for comfort

If only people didn't keep on banging on about 🤬 Twitter and Facebook on every new challenger platform! It's like going out for a date and only talking about your ex

"immense contribution" doesn't actually mean "immense positive contribution" does it? What an elegant throwing of shade that is

Cheeky. I won't get fooled again
