Sitting in hospital waiting area waiting for @pollollups.bsky.social to be visitable after an op she’s been waiting ages for. She worked on the design for this space and all the planting I can see out the window. So all is good.

Hate-filled fake videos about London are everywhere. We've obtained a recording of a TikToker confessing to secretly filming Londoners in their homes for clicks.
He says it's not political. He just wants to make money from far-right anger.

The defining sound of these Olympics is definitely the whine of drone rotors. Getting some amazing shots, but must be really intrusive

Yeah, the new Muppet Show is cute, and Sabrina Carpenter was basically the perfect first guest for it. If they make more they should do Chappel Roan next. The Muppet version of "Pink Pony Club" would be wild.

Two types of clothing at this opening ceremony:
1) We had a designer painstakingly create this over a period of months, based on a very particular idea
2) We bought a coat

I'm no criminal mastermind but, if I wanted to shoplift something and then slip quietly into the crowd without detection, I probably wouldn't pick '29 things with bells on'

There’s a lovely windows server / ntfs bug where when a file gets deleted sometimes its ACL gets removed but the file itself is still visible to everyone. If you try and do anything with it you can’t because *no one* has access to it. Online people will not believe you if you tell them this… 1/4

Watched that Melania film because I was interested in what happened after she left her family and the trouble she had with Miss Trunchbull and went to live with Miss Honey, but it’s almost like they didn’t care about continuity in this sequel 2/10 wouldn’t recommend
