"speechless"

Do you watch the videos you post?

It's okay. Payment finally arrived after 8 months. Shoes for my kids. Shoes for everyone!

Switzerland refuses US military overflight Switzerland has rejected two overflight requests from the US military. The Federal Council is still examining whether the conflict between the USA, Israel and Iran qualifies as a war in terms of neutr...

In fairness to the Swiss, they probably just don't want these chucklefucks smashing together big beautiful birds full of gasoline all over their beautiful mountains and towns. Especially now that the USAF has adopted a 'Wacky Races' approach to flight plans: www.bluewin.ch/en/news/swit...

Historic Chat Control Vote in the EU Parliament: MEPs Vote to End Untargeted Mass Scanning of Private Chats In a sensational turn of events in the fight against Chat Control, a majority in the European Parliament voted today to end the untargeted mass scanning of private communications. In doing so, the Par...

Some rare Good News™ - not a step forward, rather a step back from the brink. Good for 🇪🇺, good for families, a step away from 🇺🇸 dominance and god bless the 🏴‍☠️ - #EUChatControl #ThinkOfTheChildren www.patrick-breyer.de/en/historic-...

The Sky News chuckle hour.

I don't know what Sophy Ridge, War Daddy & the Other One think is so bloody funny on @news.sky.com - Iran is seriously kicking off, meanwhile London is under attack by copies of Ramiel, the 5th Angel from Neon Genesis Evangelion.

This is all really going to hit the motorist at the pump.

I only hear the term "payment run" when I'm getting paid more than 4 weeks late. It's *never* used in any other context #freelanceLyfe

Protesters with Iranian, Israeli and US flags gather outside City Hall, Sheffield.

Been a tough week, geopolitically speaking. But at least someone is having fun. 🇮🇷 Iranian Monarchists in #Sheffield celebrating the commencement of hostilities against the current regime.

Don't see the Israeli flag too often round here. Proximity to war memorial possibly accidental #Iran #protests

Still not caught any I see. Better luck next time x

The (slightly crap) #Sheffield BetterPoints app for 'active travel' has been broken for 13 days. Protip: Log out and login again.

Shame. I did miles a day on foot, bike and bus. That's like 0.3% of a free cup of coffee from selected retailers I'm missing out on. Back to the car! Out of spite, like.

Yeah go for it. It's not like you can ever have enough "I told you so" points.

Happy Threads Day 2026 to all who celebrate 🙌 #Sheffield #AlmostThere #ThreadsDay

[We see a close up of a young white male, tanned, white teeth, coiffed hair clearly an influencer on social media. It is an image such as you see when social media posts are shown on the news. In the corner of the screen is named a location: DUBAI. He is staring slightly off-camera for several silent panels of the comic strip. His eyes move slightly. He is having a thought.] From off-screen a newsreader’s commentary comes: NEWSREADER: Extraordinary images here of an expat in Dubai [The influencer’s eybrows raise slightly] …Having their first ever geopolitical thought. [CUT TO a BBC news scene. The BBC newsreader CLIVE MYRIE is talking to an interviewee next to the screen showing the social media influencer’s face. The interviewee’s name is David Jones]. CLIVE MYRIE: To explain the significance of this moment we’re joined by David Jones, our Expat Thoughts correspondent DAVID JONES: Clive, this is momentous It was caught on film at the end of an Instagram post titled: ‘Dubai Is Brilliant’. [Pointing at the screen, the influencer’s expression still the same] You can clearly see in the eyebrows here, the dawning realisation that there *might* be something in the world beyond his dickhead self. It marks a *huge* departure from all the Dubai Expat’s previous thoughts. CLIVE MYRIE: Which are…? DAVID JONES: You've Got To Get Yourself Out Here Mate, Everything Is So Clean, I Don't Have To Pay Taxes, I Am Incurious As To Why I Do Not Have To Pay Taxes, and Spa. CLIVE MYRIE: And might we see an expansion of these new Thoughts in coming days? DAVID JONES: I think we can expect to see: “I Deserve To Be Airlifted By A Country I Pay No Tax To” CLIVE MYRIE: Mmm. [Ends]

They missed 'at home risk of terror attacks' too.

Senator John McCain has been dead & buried for more than 7 years, but I'll wager anything that he still managed to get an erection this morning. #Iran

Chad presenting with a Pokémon screenshot.

Even though #WCAG AAA isn't always imperative, it's full of goodies - like timing issues - still of benefit to some of your users (*whispers* & may bring some conversion rate wins, fellow savage capitalists)

Impromptu pokemans example ties this into games: @kitation.co.uk #FrontEndSheff #a11y

PVA band performing in Sheffield.

Great to see #PVA return to #Sheffield last night and Sidney & Matilda the perfect sport to see them. I spent ages with their first album and their 2nd deserves investigation by anyone after a bit of synthyness.

The web designer equivalent of catching mummy leaving coins under your pillow after swiping up your teeth.

Devistated.

smh. They're not even 'blimps' anymore.

Everything is terrible.

If you see one talk that bridges the worlds of #accessibility compliance & video games this year, make it this one on Thursday 26th from @kitation.co.uk:
🎟️ www.meetup.com/front-end-sh...

Also, we'll be giving an overview of what's coming up @ #FrontEndSheff in 2026.

New Statesman headline: "Boris Johnson claimed the days of big tank battles in Europe were over" in article about defence cuts.

Very glad to see they've got military expert Boris Johnson on #BBCLauraK to discuss the war in Ukraine.

Republicanism is freeing. They shouldn't receive scrutiny because they simply shouldn't be a thing. They were not picked by God and it's bananas of them to suggest they were.
Welcome.

He wouldn't. Unless: "Tony. They said anyone who doesn't have a hat hates ID cards…"

He probably wanted a response exactly like that.

This is the first interview I've seen with a skier in at least 4 years so from a media perspective this is very much mission accomplished.

Be me, a front end web developer:

Although tbh I think I'm more comfortable watching this idealised version of First Lady Barbara Bush talking about the area of #Sheffield where they just dumped a load of dead bodies: www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwkR...

Agreed. It does feel like someone is taking the piss out of you.

Video games - which are entirely unimportant - have much more useful changelogs.

Slack changelog with more HILARIOUS detail that doesn't reflect any of the actual changes.

You know how AI is taking all our jobs in tech? And how we're screwed? You read that yeah?

Is there any chance in the midst of it all, it could take the job of whoever writes the Slack changelogs?

(I'd say it already has, but this whimsical bullshit has been going on for years) #noFunAllowed

As a resident of 10+ years, I like to watch these videos that @sheffielduni.bsky.social bang out every year. It's fun to see stuff you recognise in #Sheffield - and sort of take for granted sometimes - presented in such a polished way for external audiences:
