That Tesla board member video that doing the rounds doesn’t scream “It’s a cult!”

No sir. Not at all 🤦🏻‍♂️

Wonder what’s on the Apple OS horizon within the next day or so? Or is it fixing things from last week?

My long standing iCloud issue happened this morning which is typically an early warning sign that something’s coming.

Still love this song 😊

“What started the downfall Grandpa?”

“It was the apostrophes Billy. It started with removing the apostrophes.”

🤦🏻‍♂️Residents spoken to by the BBC urged the authority to retain apostrophes or risk "everything going downhill".

For the record. I’m not agreeing with the "everything going downhill" contingent.

Wait. What? There is a new series of Green Wing on Audible? O. M. G!

Original cast as well. Included with Audible Plus membership. Available to purchase otherwise I expect.

I’m sure that Nick Bostrom’s move from AI doomer to “maybe AI is going to save us” has absolutely nothing to do with AI making a lot of money for people who he wants to fund him.

Steve’s cushion rant. Still brilliant. Coupling (UK original version) is probably my favourite comedy show.

I should add that I really like the new song from The Waeve. I like what Graham Coxon is producing via this vehicle with Rose Elinor Dougall a lot more than the recent Blur album. https://mastodon.social/@ianRobinson/112385155482755226

Does the bit in City Lights by The Waeve, where they sing “Those city lights, They belong to me”, remind anyone else of the theme song from the Starglider Atari ST and Amiga game?

Labour's Sadiq Khan has won a third term as London mayor.
Mr Khan, who increased his share of the vote, said it was an honour to be re-elected and thanked Londoners "from the bottom of my heart"

For the first time in the 57 years that I have been a political activist the Lib Dems have taken more seats and more councils than the Conservative Party. #ukpolitics #libdems

Email from O2 saying my contract is changing to have an annual increase that is RPI + 3.9% each April. It’s currently just an RPI increase.

The email says I have the right to cancel the airtime (cellular for US readers) contracts within the next 30 days without paying early termination fees.

I have iPad associated airtime contracts I don’t need. I’ll be calling them on Monday to see if I can cancel those. I always use my iPad on Wi-Fi at home. I can tether to my iPhone if away from Wi-Fi.
