Holy shit. South Africa are 3 for 2 chasing 104 against The Netherlands at Long Island, New York 😳

I don’t really see any value from Threads or Bluesky.

Unless there is a significant change all my social media activity will be Mastodon (my primary replacement for Twitter) and Instagram for visual stuff and new music discovery.

I had to check to see if this cat at the bottom of my garden was dead. Thankfully it’s not. It looked at me then went back to sleep 😂

I once corrected my A-Level Biology teacher while we were being videotaped for a news article. Surprisingly he didn’t seem to hate me for it.

I was (and am) such a geek 😊

A local TV news team was doing a story about the 6th forms (Year 12 in current terms) of the Dundonald Boys & Girls schools being merged due to falling numbers. Biology A-Level was the first joint course. Stop snickering; all the jokes about practicals were made very quickly. 😊

I should blog this. https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/112577792107505271

Reposting this clip from Geek Girl again for the following reasons:

  1. It’s important.
  2. You’re not alone is something everyone needs to hear.
  3. Saving the video for future will save you a fortune that you would have spent on Optrex Eye Wash.

😭😊😭

“Now playing Grow Up Tomorrow by The Beaches everywhere.”

My stupid number of HomePods fill my house with music. Worth every penny 🥰

The USA have a good opportunity to beat Pakistan here. 24 for 0 after 3 overs chasing 160.

Do we think that the polls showing the Conservative’s getting crushed under FPTP will convince enough of them to support PR?

USA beat Pakistan via a super over.

If cricket isn’t your thing, I’m here to tell you this is huge.

Pakistan are one of the top teams in cricket.

Yikes. USA and Pakistan tied.

Super over time!

Okay. Here’s that polar bear discussion between Harriet and Toby in Geek Girl episode 9. I wasn’t going to capture and post it due to spoilers. But others are posting it. It’s better to come across it as you watch the show.

If you are going to be watching the show, don’t click on the link below. If you aren’t going to watch it, watch this 4-minute clip.

So, so good 😭🥰😭

I’ve put a heater on in my office. It's the 6th of June.

Yikes. Filming from the inside of a Cat 5 hurricane. Plus footage of the wind as the front and rear walls of the eye pass. As well as the damage caused.

Amazing 23 minute record of Hurricane Dorian hitting the Bahamas in 2019.

Have I mentioned how much I like the Netflix Geek Girl adaptation?

I think I must have.

It’s fab. Two episodes to go. I hope it has enough viewers to trigger a second season. 😊

Also, read the books. They are brilliant. If you think you are not in the target demographic, just ignore that. They are brill stories and have characters from teens to pensioners. I reread all six last year. Bloody marvellous 😊

I need to build this Lego Space Shuttle. It’s been sitting there for well over a year!

Some of the live camera views of the current Iceland volcanic eruption are distinctly Hadean.

India beat Pakistan by 6 runs.

They got out of jail there.

Bumrah. What a bowler.

Pakistan need 18 run of 6 balls.

Pakistan need 10 an over from the last 3.

30 from 18 balls.

Down to the wire.

My Disney+ subscription has expired.

I’m okay with that.

Switched out if the India vs Pakistan stream to see what was happening in the Scotland vs Oman game.

Now I can’t get back into the India stream. As it’s past the projected finish time due to a delayed start I think. NowTV really is the pits.

Oops. That’s a bad drop at deep fine leg.

I can still remember dropping an identical one for NICS at Stormont. Embarrassing. It’s weird how your brain hardwires bad memories like that. 😱
