Anyone know of any student-led anti-GenAI campaigns in UK schools? My daughter hates the amount it gets used *by the school itself* and wants to do something…

WE WON AGAIN!!!!!! 🏆🎊🏆

Woolies claims in their Delivery Unlimited renewal notice that we've saved $2,264. But that didn't seem right so I just counted it up. We've had 13 deliveries in the past year. At $15 a pop, that's $195. And at $149/year for the subscription, that'd make a saving […] [Original post on bne.social]

I think the main thing I've learned so far from having a car with an internet connection and companion app is how often we forget to lock the doors. Please don't rob us.

Looks like I'm shopping for mobile plans again. Belong just bumped the price of the one I'm on by 20%.

I'm drafting a set of rules for sorting #Lego. Give me your feel-pinions (or, full on beautiful-mind systems).

[bad news; e-bikes] This is awful news, but good job to the Guardian for correctly assigning the actions to the rider (not to the inanimate object they were riding, as too often happens). #cycling

"Trump's new AI website confirms he lost the 2020 election." I just don't care. Children are being deported, alone, without due process. People are being held in terrible conditions. Protesters are being shot. Protections are being eradicated. Wars are being waged. Elections undermined. Yes […]

There's not enough #woodworking in my feed. Any recommendations?

Just walked past one of the ambient TVs at work that just plays loops of promo sizzle reels and had to double take to check that the reporter on screen wasn’t Philomena Cunk.

Out tonight seeing the kid in another show. She’s a guitarist but has been talked into filling in on the bass. Has never played bass before. I’m somewhat nervous on her behalf.

The great Lego resorting is well underway.

I'm testing out some options for self-hosted photo sharing (that are quicker than rolling my own, which is what I really want to do). Any opinions? So far Immich seems ... okay? https://photos.usabilityproject.com/share/1xryj4pV0qC86rC8oKvBxm-OFHi58XIeNKZt8ifLX3K7DLbMX0hWZSQpzlOf7JFveJ4

In … *counts on fingers* … *gets toes in on the action* … *borrows someone else’s fingers* … *sheepishly asks to borrow toes* … 35 years. Definitely “intergenerational” then. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-09-21/intergenerational-report-igr-deaths-births-aging/107176284

Australia to join Japan, Italy in deaths outpacing births

Australia is getting much older, and it is getting older faster than previously thought. But the major political parties are currently in a race to cut the greatest source of resilience against that trend: migration.

RE: https://bne.social/@simon/117294848319547433 We've had some really great audience feedback on this piece! It's awesome to hear about people (men in particular) having conversations in their workplace about how work culture and employment agreements are setup for a two parent, one […]

When both parents work, we're short 814 hours a year, on average. New from our team: there literally aren't enough hours in the day ... and women still get a raw deal (though the share of care is slowly, slowly moving closer to equality) […]

How did The Beatles end Hey Jude when they played it live because I'm pretty confident they didn't loop na na na na na na na for like 15 minutes?

Ugh, this is higher than ideal. I wish it were possible to fund the purchase of new storage without first screwing over millions of people to become a billionaire.

Just tried to book my car in for a service by *shock* calling the service centre. "Did you reply to the SMS with your preferred dates?" "No, but I'm calling to book it in now." *audible sigh*

I wonder if a fine sprinkling of salt and cashew dust is good for my keyboard. I assume so.

A bunch of websites I run now have Singapore as the top country for visitors and this curious pattern. I wonder where the bots live (and what time they're awake)? (This is from whatdoyousuggest.net — I can't imagine what the bots want with it, tbh.)

I have been successfully annoyed by the needful (online training).

I used to routinely hit up the random article link on Wikipedia. But now my favourite way to discover new things on Wikipedia is to just watch this stream go by for a bit until something catches my eye. https://elvery.net/prototypes/wikipedia-edits/

RE: https://elvery.net/links/1843228614 Spent the weekend listening to Simon & Garfunkel thanks to this.

I'm opening Microsoft Teams again. How's your day going?

dear lord, i'm hunting disk space again. is this normal?
