"Shut the embassies, freeze the assets and put the IRGC on the terrorist list. If you do that, the regime is isolated."

Reflecting a healthy year! 🏃♂️ From starting Couch to 5k, to 5k in 30mins, I’ve traded pub trips for runs. Overcame injuries, hiked Arthur’s Seat, popped my Edinburgh Fringe cherry and finally joined a gym. Work was a win/loss (great tech challenges, poor pay rise), but I’m ready for 2026! 🥂
After MTG lied about me for weeks, she said that she felt bad for my unborn child because he'd have me as a mother. Her rhetoric led to threats against my family.
No one, even her, should receive threats like those, but I'd like to see her own up to the role she played in creating them for others.
You know you watch too much Linus Tech Tips when "Crab Rave" sneaks into your Spotify playlists.
After years of complaining about cancel culture, the current administration has taken it to a new and dangerous level by routinely threatening regulatory action against media companies unless they muzzle or fire reporters and commentators it doesn’t like.
@stevemartinht.bsky.social Hey man, thanks for the follow!
@jimmykimmel.com Given everything happening right now to you and Colbert, is now the time to bring back Strike Force Five? #strikeforcefive
@jimmykimmel.com Might be time to bring back Strike Force Five? #bringbackstrikeforcefive
To the leaders of the world.
Please can you stop bombing the shit out of the planet. Some of us actually live here.
Kind Regards,

Watching Apple WWDC25 intermittently, waiting for useful Enterprise knowledge which I can apply at work. I suspect all the relevant/useful stuff will get filtered down eventually.

Superintendent Alberto M. Carvalho didn't hold back when expressing his anger and "contempt" after agents with Homeland Security attempted to gain access to two elementary schools earlier this week.
@harkinjames.bsky.social Heard about your account via Fish. Do you own your own name as a web domain in some form? You can use this to set a username on Bluesky, like I've done!
The more you know…
The team discusses the latest releases including Marvel's Captain America: Brave New World, Bridget Jones' return in Mad About the Boy, the Dogman comics adaptation, hostage crisis drama September 5th, Amy Schumer in Kinda Pregnant, as well as Love Hurts, Memoir of a Snail, and The Gorge.
I might have a new hobby - putting random Bill Bailey quotes into @googlegemini.bsky.social - I think you're reading too much into it mate 🤣 #comedy #AI #philosophy
Perfectly captured.
Instead of paying X (Twitter RIP) or Facebook to verify who you are, buy a custom domain and DIY your own BlueSky handle, with your personal domain. It was easy-peasy. bsky.social/about/blog/4...
Hard to process the devastation I’ve witnessed in the last two days. Still in a state of shock for those who have lost so much in such a short period of time. #NoWords 💔

Really enjoying the optical zoom on my Pixel 8 Pro. I was always gutted my Pixel 6's digital zoom couldn't get a decent snap of those critters just a little too far away. #pixel8pro #smartphone #camera #zoom #wildlife #squirrel
I feel seen
To expand on this I did some maths. During a marathon, a typical step count for an average height male is around 55k steps. That means over the past 9 working days I've walked ~2.68 marathons around the office. Oof! #office #walk #marathon
I love Ian Hislop but it’s worth noting that most of us would balk at the prospect of publicly admonishing a wrongdoer whose conduct you condemn in this way. I did it once to the UKIP/Reform/Brexit twerp Richard Tice but that took exactly zero guts.
This is speaking truth to actual power…
Considering my job is usually largely desk-bound, it's been a bit of a shock to the system how much I've needed to be on my feet for my latest project. #fitbit #steps #exercise #walk #office
Cartoon depicts a person having a drink in a bar, on a date with BlueSky as the X logo walks in. The person explains "My old relationship was so toxic and oh no! My X just walked into the bar!"
The cartoons keep coming. 😁
