Trump might just be the biggest failure known to mankind.
Sarah Taber@sarahtaber.bsky.social · 2d agoAbsolutely unbelievable how solar power has taken off worldwide during the Hormuz oil crisis. You don't have to hand it to him, but Trump may have done more to finally kick off a global civilization of effete librul solar users than anyone else in the West
Half the YouTube videos I end up watching are now AI created - whether it's the full production, or somebody literally reading a claude-script, and sounding ridiculous doing so, it's boring.
Last time we went to get one it took 45 mins and arrived extra soggy and extra cold, they apologised and said - your name is on the board, next time you come it is free. That was 3 years ago and we have no desire to go back!
Rob Whelan 🌱@robw.bsky.social · 2w agoI haven't bought McD or similar in decades; but last week my kids played in a late concert and were v thirsty at near midnight with a 45-min drive home; the McD drive-thru was the only option. We then lost 25 minutes failing to get anything at all before driving home.
Tired of seeing these shit new builds with two solar panels each. The UK government is spineless and pathetic, and being endlessly scammed by the likes of Persimmon, Bloor, and other shit housebuilders.
"We use older models which are more efficient, and have cheaper tokens." They aren't more efficient, they're just efficient compared to the environmental disaster that new models are. New models are less efficient, not older models more.
Lots of good ideas in the comments, but the ones which stood out are based around it being a giant urinal.
Joe Flynn@chinajoeflynn.bsky.social · 2w agoThis is art, to me.
I'm not really into football, but my wife likes the World Cup. However, that match was genuinely pretty entertaining!
What a frustrating fucking experience Claude Cli / Desktop / Web / anything is.
Got up and running with @cocore.dev in actual minutes - the ones that other services lie to you about. The mythical man minutes.
"Lets go horseback riding!" What? Horseback? Lets go horse-*front* riding.
If all of the complaints about Anthropic are valid, we are about to see the launch of 30x more software than the entirety of software that has been developed since 1970. Excited to see the great products you've all been building...
Football is a bit like "capture the flag" but instead it's kick the flag across a field and uncapture it also it's round.
Ciaran Martin@ciaranm.bsky.social · last mo.On England v Panama first half: Seriously if you showed that first half to someone completely new to football and told them that one of these teams had genuine aspirations to win the World Cup, & the other had already been eliminated, could you reasonably expect them to work out which was which?
Hard to get good photos when they stick a sticker over your camera but Annie Mac was great!
So our Tesla battery needs replacement, and all public transport is utterly fucked today. Everything I know, believe in and preach has literally screwed me in the last 24 hours.

Since January 1, 2025, the City of Chicago has transitioned to using 100% clean, renewable energy to power all City streetlights and 400+ City buildings including O’Hare Airport, Midway Airport, Harold Washington Library, City Hall, and more.
Which will happen first: 1. We'll boil the sea 2. AI will show business value Bets are on!
So I'm completely unable to use browserstack now because they force me to install a local app, and it's Windows and Mac only? Great stuff.
When reality surpasses fiction! Top: fictional forecast for August 2050, broadcast by French TV in 2014 to warn about the consequences of global warming. Bottom: Real French forecast for yesterday, June 22, 2026.
I know this has been pointed out many times by many people but I just want to reiterate: Anthropic is basically using Kurt Vonnegut's drawing of an asshole as the Claude logo
AI's primary skill seems to be writing defensive code, optional chaining and defaults *everywhere*. Good luck debugging.
An often understated benefit of Brexit is the choice it has brought us. A choice of 7 different PMs in 10 years, 20 different education and defence secretaries, and more. So much choice. We all know a PM can't get much done in 4 years, imagine how little we're getting done in 1.
The attacks in Edinburgh, in which an armed bare-chested white man terrorised Muslims, leaving five people injured, don't feature on a single newspaper front page this morning. Two tier journalism
