Most articles I read about the Senate's questioning of Dr Fauci seem to imply that people should leave him alone because he's 85. I do think the Senators were unreasonably hard on him, but age isn't why. Age is no more a reason to go easy on him is than it is grounds for discounting him. #ageism

Tesco keep sending me "congratulation!!" I wish they'd just send me all the congratulations in one email and have done with it.

Dear Stephen Miller, I look a damn sight more normal than you do. 🙄

Wishing the current occupant of the White House the kind of Juneteenth he deserves.

New name of railway company: Thameslink Southern Great Northern Limited. They aren't even trying to be consistent. 🙄

Dear Siri, "moka" is not spelled "mocha". #SpeechRecognition

"Breturn" Apparently the term has been around for a while, but I've only just seen it today. I like it. 😁

I'd just like to say that @marcelias.bsky.social is one of my heroes.

I wish that every GenAI app produced, for every question asked, an account of how much energy & water it used in answering. Or provide an estimate first, and ask whether to proceed. I am getting very tired of seeing GenAI used just for fun, without regard for the potential environmental impact.

One of my favorite things about marching (well, mostly standing around waiting to resume marching) with @demsabroad.bsky.social on Saturday was answering the question about where I'm from by saying that @raskin.house.gov is my congressman. 😊💙

Dear Microsoft: Please let me disable Outlook's silly editorial comments and suggestions. Thank you. 🙄

Saint Radegund's Voices are taking Brumel's Lamentations to the Cambs villages. Come hear us at 4pm on Sunday 1 March, at the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Harlton. Read director Katie Hawks's thoughts about the programme at saintradegundsvoices.wordpress.com/2025/01/29/s...

Some thoughts on Brumel’s Lamentations

When you walk into a cathedral, you notice its vastness, its tall columns and high stone vaults, its carvings. When you walked into a cathedral in the Middle Ages, you’d probably first have n…

There is only one letter of difference between glute and glut.

There is only one letter of difference between "shared" and "shred". #OneLetterOfDifference

I've been making coffee in a moka for 35 years, and it was only last week that I realised I could immediately hit the sweet spot in screwing the top onto the bottom, just by aligning the handle with the valve. No faffing. I'm sure my Italian friends know this, but no one has ever told me. #coffee

Exactly.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

Last year I wrote GSA about the removal of their Inclusive Design Patterns. Today they replied. Said it was mandated by the EO on "Ending Radical and Wasteful…DEI Programs and Preferencing". I said it was IN NO WAY radical or wasteful, and called the EO a travesty. www.linkedin.com/posts/elizab...

I am seriously disappointed in (no, make that "disgusted with") Tim Cook. 🤬🤬🤬 #Apple #sycophant

One thing I like very much about MacOS Tahoe is that the Dock comes up so quickly when I move the pointer to the bottom of the screen.

I have been making my coffee in a moka for 35 yrs, and only last week did I realise that to screw them together without having to fiddle for the sweet spot, one has to set the top on the bottom with handle and valve aligned. 😳 I'm sure all my Italian friends know this, but no one has ever told me.

Denmark said "no", too.

Dear Apple, so far I am not a huge fan of Liquid Glass. And I definitely don't want Apple Intelligence intruding into more aspects of my life. The MS Copilot thing is travesty enough.

The form W9 that's available from irs.gov supports Fill & Sign *except* for the date of the signature. Anyone know how to address this?

The word "kakistocracy" makes me think of government by persimmons. Which seems eerily appropriate…

I love @normeisen.bsky.social. He just said (and I'm paraphrasing here) that the orange felon "has all the follow-through of a tsetse fly." 😆😆😆

🛒 Retail’s busiest season is now in full swing, but for people with disabilities, navigating shopping journeys can be an experience fraught with barriers. Our campaign #TheHiddenJourney is a call to action for retailers to prioritise #accessibility in 2026: www.nexerdigital.com/news-and-tho...

The "release the files" bill is the one that really deserves the name "One Big Beautiful Bill".

Hope to see you at Nexer Digital's Camp Digital 2026!
