The fantastic song Citizen Erased by Muse, from the album Origin of Symmetry. I claim ownership of nothing shown in this video. Muse - Citizen Erased [HD]

Crowd watching Oasis play at Wembley Stadium, looking towards the stage. Arms raised in the air, with a red hue from the lights.

Oasis: a nice way to close out my 30's!

Here to see a band…

England. Football final. Won on penalties. I didn't realise this could happen… superb!

Somewhere right now, there's an electrician working on the wiring for a new hotel contract, thinking "let's put the bathroom light switch behind this freestanding corner lamp."

Think of the environment they said. Take the train to London they said. Now half my train home has been cancelled so I'm stood in a carriage with no AC for an hour, packed in like sardines. SWR, you suck.

Watched the F1 movie last night. As a long-time F1 fan I was sceptical going in, and left pleasantly surprised! It's a fun movie.

Very definitely has that Jerry Bruckheimer feel to it; some of Pitt's lines while driving felt like they were lifted from Viper in Top Gun. Needed more Kenny Loggins.

Using Signal groups for activism Things are heating up. Millions of people are taking to the streets against Trump's rising authoritarianism. Communities around the US are organizing to defend against ICE raids, to protest Israeli genocide, for mutual aid, and for other forms of fighting fascism. Signal can help people safely organize in all of

Top-down shot of three stickers: one saying “Who is John Mastodon?”, one a sparkly Mastodon mammoth logo with an “m” symbol, and the third “I am part of the rebel alliance #FediverseForFreedom”

To my friends, I'm Chris.

On my way into London today for an FSI event, to chat with customers and partners about AWS Mainframe Modernisation ✨

Person’s fingers and thumb holding a small sanitizer spray bottle which has the fragrance name “morning glory.”

I bought some knock-off brand hand sanitizer sprays on Amazon; they seem identical to the brand I saw that's US-only, but they've changed the fragrance names.

I feel like they could have done better…

Apple settling all business on the iPad, I see. #wwdc

Walking around London today makes me reaffirm that I was born to be a New Yorker.

Monaco GP: two hours of my life I'll never get back 😴

Pub dogs are good dogs.

I'm not always the biggest fan of Max Verstappen; I think he pushes the rules too much, like Senna and Schumacher did before him.

Vibe coding is just rubber duck debugging with style.

Lovely day today, not too hot, not too cold. All I need is a light jacket.

Lake Como, with mountains in the background and a jetty and boat in the foreground. Evening blue hour.

Ciao, Lake Como.

To paraphrase Adams,

"Damn and blast British Airways!" said Chris, the words coming easily through force of habit.

Garbage

"The desire for deus ex machina style political intercession that belies the complexities of real-world systems."

As ever, I enjoyed this piece by @craigmod.com.
