Yeah. Maybe they could help sift out a shortlist of flagged ones and then you could use some other kind of NLP software

British Pound Sterling

Cymru → England

It’s a mossy log on the riverbank

I wonder if you could analyse the writing style in emails where the sender is redacted and cross correlate that with messages from known senders, and get a reasonable statistical likelihood of who each email is from.

The famous photo of George W Bush finding out about the second plane hitting the Twin Towers, with sweaty nonce Andrew Mountbatten's face photoshopped in place of George W Bush

A photo of an ice cream machine with a sign reading, "Anything is possible with ice cream." Beneath that is a hand lettered sign reading, "No ice cream".

2026 basically

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

Yep. They love all that. He’s “sticking it to the man”, because he’s such an antiestablishment hero

Or, for that matter, delighted.

Pleased*

Apart from the other suggestions, which are valid, it’s impossible for anyone to be please by backend work. They can either not notice it or be furious if all 10,000 things don’t work perfectly.

Wow.

I live in the second town in an RPG. Despite our thriving trade with both, the quality of the items we sell here always seems stuck exactly in-between those found in Pleasant Shores and the Wretched Peaks

Just saw that Xing Zhilei, the Chinese DIY influencer, posted an update on his self-built cat town which went viral last year.

Using YouTube ? Either that or your banking app has hold music

My son on his scooter on a quarter pipe ramp, at an indoor skate park

Took 13 to the local skate park. I want a go too, but it would embarrass him immensely

A high contrast colour photo of a person in a cream coloured coat and hat waiting at a crossing. There's a green car and a person in leather on a motorbike.

A man in a suit stands on a blue and white bathroom regarding himself in a mirror. It's very cinematic.

A garage with a fuel pump, a Volkswagen Beetle, and strong sunlight hitting a building in cream and red.

The foggy window of a launderette, tinted green. A bike is propped against the window.

Taking a moment to marvel at the photography of Harry Gruyaert.

[Edit: *Googles Penga. Ah yes, that]

Screenshot of Matt Round’s website showing that he didn’t exist before 1971, and didn’t use any computers till 1984

Don’t know what Penga is but when looking for it on your site I enjoyed the far reaches of your career timeline

As mixes go, it’s hard to beat!

Journeys By DJ: Coldcut (70 Minutes Of Madness)

Time for a re-up

No coffee shop has ever made a good cup of tea

Yep. For all its failings Apple’s pivot back to RISC / ARM processors across the board was a brilliant strategic move (and a technical marvel), but at the time I was chatting with a trader who was utterly *shrug* about it. Basically he was only interested if they invented the iPhone all over again.

This has led to shitty-Adobe for example

The tech investor mindset in general is deeply misguided. There’s too much positive feedback, so if they say a thing is good then the company displaying more of that thing creates more buying pressure. I don’t think many of the investors understand much at all.

Khadim, by Mark Ernestus’ Ndagga Rhythm Force 4 track album

Late to the game but well into this from the legend Mark Ernestus

ndagga.bandcamp.com/album/khadim

Yep yep

So weird how people are into this prick. He’s like the quintessential dodgy city grifter from some kind of cautionary Dickensian tale.
