BBC basically sitting unchallenged on Christmas Day, absolutely owning it. The politicians who like to speak about how irrelevant it is in an age of Netflix might want to take a moment to reflect.
Gavin & Stacey on 12.3 million average (12.5m peak) was Britain's most watched live broadcast on Christmas Day in a decade and a half since Wallace & Gromit got 14m in 2008.

This weekend (most of) the Mutual team met up in London for our winter meetup. We had a great time at Gravity Max with lots of food, slushies, making fools of ourselves on the interactive floor, arcade games, and minigolf. #remote #agency #culture

Is there anything more satisfying than emptying the tank after shampooing a carpet? Maybe jet-washing the patio. But they're both top-tier-satisfaction.

In its first week on the platform & with 300k followers, Bluesky traffic from @theguardian.com posts is already higher than it was from TwX in any week in 2024, where the account had 10.8m followers, but🧵

Upgraded a site to #tailwind 4 beta (not prod) and the upgrade script made it pretty effortless. So far, so good. My only hesitation is if the CSS config approach might have non-obvious limitations down the road.

Got a PC monitor on Black Friday to play #ps5 and it turns out you can play a lot better when you can actually see the game!

I work from a conservatory (with a bit of insulation) and I am feeling all kinds of gwenders today.
Word of the Day is ‘gwenders’, from old Cornish dialect: a disagreeable tingling in the extremities (or no sensation at all) due to extreme cold.

Another house viewing cancelled.

The housing market seems so weak at the moment and people don’t seem to be serious.

The dream of moving before the wean arrives is pretty much over now 😬

Does every website really need to use React just to show some static data? @jason.energy thinks we've made web development unnecessarily complex.

“The less the world as a whole spends on decarbonisation, the more rational it is in any given country to spend a bigger proportion of the climate budget on adaptation, not mitigation.”

#Bluesky feels more engaging than Threads because they’re not throwing constant influencer posts at me with their unpredictable algorithm. It’s quite nice having an actual feed.

This feels like Twitter before Twitter got weird.
