I really want Bluesky to succeed & capture the 'old days' of Twitter, so seeing this announcement from them that Jay Graber is stepping down as well as her mentioning they need a "seasoned operator focused on scaling & execution", I do see as a positive thing for now

🎮 Completed Resident Evil Requiem this evening & absolutely loved it. Really fun, absorbing, high-quality & challenging with wide variety of gameplay & tons of fan service too. Capcom's RE Engine is one the best engines & looks fantastic. Looking forward to replaying this again! #RE9 #ResidentEvil
The new direction for F1 is proving to be entertaining with some great racing/strategy involved in this first Race, Mercedes vs. Ferrari look to be the main fight. But it's disheartening watching/hearing these cars actively slow down at the end of long, fast sections of the track... #F1 #AusGP
Women’s rights don’t look good through Meta glasses
My LinkedIn feed nowadays is just all about AI - both from sponsored posts, others, or from LinkedIn itself *sigh*
Evernote is one of my most-used Apps but getting told it's increasing by £6 per month, and now stuffed with AI features I never asked for, is really making me reconsider now.
Any other similar Apps that similar/simpler that work cross-device ...?
Not sure who on here watches 'Industry' on here but the final episode of the season was probably one of the most uncomfortable & unnerving episodes of a show I've watched in a while, need to talk to someone about it! Still an amazing series, even if it gets more unhinged #Industry #HBOIndustry
Mail on Sunday front page, with the headline "FOREIGN-BORN VOTERS STOLE BY-ELECTION BLASTS FARAGE"
Today's Mail on Sunday is going full-on MAGA with a claim that "foreign-born voters" stole the Gorton and Denton by-election...

A bit of a sore head today after a few good Guinness' at The Devonshire in Soho. Definitely one of the best in London. Nice beermat to add to my collection too!
Quite an incredible, and genuine, winning speech
Really loving the Ads by Sky Sports promoting the new F1 season, lots of different variations of these great in-your-face creative. Legit excited for it (at least for me!) 🏎️😁 #F1 #SkyF1
What Winter #Sport captured the most attention at the Olympics? Ice Hockey 🏒 & double US gold 🥇🥇.
Airgo's #ShareofSearch data from the US during the games shows increased interest across a variety of sports, from Curling and Skiing to Ice Skating and Snowboarding. However, hockey came out on top.
Watched 'Dirty Business' earlier - quite a riveting docu-drama on river pollution in the UK, a great Channel 4 production - then followed by another great episode of #Industry on BBC. Whoever said appointment-to-view TV is dead?
Brainwashing, 2026 edition. This paper shows how X's algorithmic feed shifts people's views rightwards. It's a sophisticated, highly effective form of reorientation. And it is utterly chilling.
If you're still on that platform, unhook yourself now.

It's 2026 and it still frustrates me that there are ticketing websites that are not fully mobile-optimised, or just don't work/function properly without using Google Chrome
two things are simultaneously true:
The U.K., and London particularly, have incredibly diverse and good and complex food scenes with an amazing variety of offerings
And
not Mexican food tho
Went to a colleague's 50th Birthday last night at probably the best Italian restaurant I have been to in ages - Ziani, in Chelsea - some of the best Spaghetti & Lasagna I've ever had & such a fantastic vibe - highly recommended! 🍝😍 #FoodSky #London
I know a lot of people are looking for industry analysis during these chaotic times, so here’s what I’ve got
Wow, quite a loss considering he was the 'face' of Xbox, rightly or wrongly
There goes the British royal family’s 379-year streak of not having anyone in handcuffs
People seem to love the Polymarket - Substack partnership!
I was out around Carnaby Street the other night and there was a few of them wondering around with cameras, mini mics and all very, very loud - speaking to very drunk people, while filming them. Definitely wouldn't have been the case a number of years ago!
Victoria Derbyshire allowing Zia Yusuf to tie himself in absolute knots by asking him simple questions about Reform policy.
A masterclass in quality journalism.
“I have 30k to make a fully AI film, what’s the plan?” is such an insane sentence.
Channel 4 in the UK mandating that all TV Ads require closed-captions from March is such a good, important move 👏 "This ensures that our advertising is inclusive of the Deaf & hard of hearing communities, as well as viewers who benefit from enhanced accessibility.'

The “I have nothing to hide” argument on privacy is dead. And everything Meta says publicly about its invasive and abusable glasses is bullshit. Great column from @davelee.me for @opinion.bloomberg.com

Took part in the London Winter Run this morning that Cancer Research UK organise at Trafalgar Square - some of the worst possible weather to do it in with rain, wind & cold, but got a nice Medal & a snap with a Polar Bear! Always so moving seeing people doing it for a good cause #WinterRun #RunSky
People may not realize how rare it is for the UK to win gold at the Winter Olympics.
Like, two in the same WO has NEVER happened in our history.
The one good thing we have in the UK when it comes to Finance Product Advertising is that the FCA ensure that relevant risk warnings are clearly mentioned - anything Crypto-related especially has a large clear disclaimer, giving consumers plenty of info on risk - regardless of quality of the Ad!
Attitude magazine. Zack with his arms crossed.
Absolutely honoured to be named @attitudemag.bsky.social trailblazer of the year in their #101 list.
As a gay man, I know it's a worrying time for our LGBTIQA+ community.
We are under attack.
When they come for one of us, they come for all of us. And we will stand together.
