Fab and inspiring talk by @aimafidon.bsky.social at our #KTP@50 event. Insightful and I inspiring: 5* would recommend 🙂

Surely by now we can just agree that X is Prolefeed from #1984 #Orwell ?

Sounds like exactly what the constitution meant by free speech that ought to be protected from Government.

Awesome day at World Design Congress at the Barbican today. Lots of inspiring content; not the least of which being Lord Foster, Kate Raworth and Maria Mazzucato. And, oh look: Brian ENO

“Shudder”

More mending … New main oven element. Literally took longer to track down the right part to buy than to do the actual fitting.

It’s like they’ve turned the St George cross into the new Sw*stik*.

A mini roundabout near me got the treatment; but next day it had been overpainted with a pride flag 😂

Or the leading apostrophe is missing.

This is, indeed, a weird thing.

Also, I suppose a basket of tax changes divides people as some are affected and some not. Whereas everyone would dislike a uniform increase. Far better to have everyone arguing amongst themselves.

This whole album is fabulous. For me it is unusually well recorded and it’s rare to hear so much detail in the guitar timbres (</guitar-nerd>)

“X feet shallow” ha ha ha

Can I just check; you do know that if you linger your finger on the space bar it becomes a trackpad, right?

So it does - i guess I should have gone to IG to find that out. Danger of links I guess.

Hang on … even on the solstice it is not directly over head everywhere. The Northern-most bound for that is the Tropic of Capricorn. Maybe I mis-read the picture caption 🤷‍♂️

I once accidentally stood on Alfie Bass in a newsagent. He was displeased.

Spooky. I needed that reminder 🙀

A Hundred Classics to Get Me Through a Hundred Days of Trump Each morning, before the day’s decree, I turned to a slim book, hoping for sense, or solace.

This was a pleasing article:

It is odd, isn’t it? There are quite a lot of things that my GP apparently no longer does, to the extent that it feels like we ought to have had at least some sight of the change of overall policy of what is and what isn’t included.

Feels more like it has been eroded in secret.

I saw this person speak at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona. He was not gracious.

Is that Fred Gingell beach by any chance?

Alex Fraser bridge over the Fraser river in Vancouver

Travelling in Barcelona for work rn, it has made me realise how expensive food is in the UK. For example, ham and cheese baguette of exquisite fresh quality + Coke = €3.25

This is all rather negative. It would be good to also see some promotion and positive messaging rather than all the shirt rending.

The landscapes make me yearn for video games in that aesthetic.

With human for scale …

The TimeTop sculpture in Vancouver Harbour. Definite #Samorost vibes - to me anyway 🙂 @amanita-design.net

I suggest a great compromise would be for individuals to have the option of anonymity; but also to choose to block all anonymous accounts. Hence still possible to publish information - and have accounts open to all content, but most citizens could block invalidated people.

Nope. Auf Englische bitte

Frozen fountain here in Victoria, on Vancouver island. Chilly here. Also interesting to be here during the tariffs fiasco …
