Why is it sometimes so hard to get to sleep, yet so hard to wake up on the other end 😐

Huh, yeahhh 🙄🤮

Take care!

Crude oil prices, showing a very sharp increase in the last day, from around 65 to 101 dollars per barrel..

Oil prices wouldn't be all over the news today if more of our economy was powered by local, secure renewable energy.

This isn't an "energy crisis". It's a fossil fuel crisis.

44% of UK electricity came from renewables in 2025. More of that plus an electrified economy => no more oil shocks.

That is dedication, but I can see why you put in the effort. I've had one or two hotels with decent coffee, but most are similarly bad.

I really need to start travelling with my own teabags, hotel tea is alllll bad 🙃

Finally, the bug is back with a round of the Guinness.

Incredible

Oh that's fun, thanks!

That's quite the thing :D

My French pronunciation generally isn't too bad, but I really can't roll my Rs either. I think I'll need to learn though 😅

Europe wants to end its dangerous reliance on US internet technology As the US increases political pressure on Europe, it’s possible to imagine the continent losing access to key computing services.

“No country, let alone continent, will ever be completely digitally independent, and nor should they be. But by pulling together, Europe can ensure its digital systems remain accessible even in a crisis – just as is expected from its physical infrastructure.”

I was there in the crowd at this gig! 🤘 It was such an epic moment, thanks for sharing this (and recording it in the first place :)

I've been learning Swedish for a year and I'm *still* working on those damn vowel sounds 😅

Bringing attention to Ring's surveillance network is such an excellent use of their platform, bravo @weratedogs.com 👏

I just tried to wipe a full stop off of my screen in case you're wondering how my morning is going 🥱

i really do not think it is possible to overstate the irreversible damage that generative AI is doing to systems designed to support, educate, and help humans right now.

Woo! 🥳🥳

The Wayback is now so load-bearing we should be protecting it with our actual lives

What is so striking about tech billionaires like Musk and Bezos is that there is nothing there, no class, no grace, no humour, no empathy, no style, no wit, no depth, no charm. Empty avatars of materialist greed and techno-capitalist authoritarianism devoid of all meaning.
