Across platforms, I am reminded that we all weren’t meant to hear as many opinions as we do. Also so many people lack nuance about complex topics. A lot of Black and White thinking.

Want to know what I yap about during my co-working streams? The joy of making NO plans https://sprk.so/post/did:plc:xr22qh52z4eh3dbcteiwpsdm/3mru5bipqrt2f
How have I never heard of BlackSky until today? Have I been living under a rock?
Just heard @bethrigby.bsky.social mention on Sky News that she had dinner with the "tech industry" the other night. Sat here thinking "where was my invite? Only been working in tech for over a decade" 🙃
“Absolutely brilliant performance, not football wise” 🤣🤣. One of the ITV commentators really said that. Does anyone know which one who said it?
So Mark Zuckerberg announces Muse Spark on Threads and the comments are...just yikes
Last week I randomly started doing co-working livestreams on Twitch. Nothing special, just acting as a body double, and being my usual time blind self. If you're looking for a body double during your working day, come join
Heading off to my first London Data Week event. It’s going to be a jam packed week. Really looking forward to immersing myself in the London data scene
Right who’s getting on the phone to Infantino? King Charles, Burnham or Starmer? Someone sort out Quansah’s red card. You’ve got the playbook
Don’t worry Quansah, maybe Trump will call the FIFA boss to sort out your red card
Told myself I’m not staying up to watch England. My neighbours said “you don’t have a choice babe - Bellingham scores and we all celebrate”
Claude Fable 5's back for us mortals. But quick heads up, Anthropic’s zero data retention doesn't apply to Fable 5 or Mythos, and your data is retained for 30 days 👀 Use it or don't, you're grown. Just be mindful what you feed it. heytanhey.com/notes/you-ca...
You Can Have Claude Fable, or You Can Have Privacy · Hey Tan Hey
Anthropic makes you keep your data on Claude Fable, for safety, with no opt-out. The best model is now the least private one. That isn't a bug.

Not saying I agree, or disagree with Sony's decision (honestly what does my opinion matter here), but are we surprised they are going to stop producing physical discs for the PlayStation? I thought this happening would be a no brainer. blog.playstation.com/2026/07/01/p...
Physical disc production ending in January 2028 for new games releasing on PlayStation consoles
In response to shifting trends in consumer preference, new games will be released on PlayStation Store and at retailers in digital formats only.

This timing is unreal. I finally bought my Mac mini two days ago. Today Apple are increasing prices across the Mac / iPad lineup
Been working on a research project for months, and been putting off buying a dedicated machine for it, as I'm processing data 24/7 and need to run local LLMs. Decided today is the day I'm finally buying a Mac mini and the delivery won't be for 10-12 weeks 👀. Why do I procrastinate so much 🤦🏾♀️
I’ve had more ice lollies today than I’ve had in the last 12 months. This heatwave is no joke
Ronaldo said “oh Messi made history and you all forgot about me? Hold my beer”
Haven't gone on instagram in years, but I remember them spending years bullying everyone into vertical content and they killed IGTV. And now they want to be on your big ol' TV. Have I missed something?

I walk away for 1 minute and miss Messi making history. Congratulations Lionel
The way I’m screaming like Cape Verde just won the whole tournament 🤣. Vozhina sir, you’re my MVP so far.
Another Monday morning listening to Keir Starmer and the media class analysing his speech. Do any of them understand what an algorithm is? Literally heard someone say "messaging apps aren't included in the ban because they don't have an algorithm?" 🙄🙄🙄
Is Anthropic’s Claude Fable 5 model the rumoured Mythos public release?
Why has London Tech Week become the platform for government policy announcements? #LondonTechWeek
I had no expectations for the Apple WWDC keynote, and now I’m waking away from it completely underwhelmed
