I spent an hour on hold for with an airline yesterday and sadly Apple’s “Hold” feature was useless as it turned off every time the voice cut in say “your call is very important to us, please stay on the line and one of our agents will be with you very shortly.”

A great claim to fame for me was when @hbomberguy.bsky.social liked my stupid ukulele song on Twitter.
But DID YOU KNOW this was OVER-ENGINEERED TO F*CK?

I'm not on twitter anymore, but this tweet from 2 years ago is sadly more accurate than ever

After @tantacrul.bsky.social mentioned me in his video on Aleatoric Music video (6 years ago 😅) I’ve finally resurrected the project that I felt most justified my inclusion! It was an app, now it’s a livestream on YouTube. www.youtube.com/live/-nEegj2...

None of these music player apps seem to have a “make this the last song” feature.

After a couple of months living in Edinburgh, London feels like a clenched arsehole.

Proud to have been involved in this project, though in a very minor way. Huge omission in the programme is Phillip Jacobs, who found the tip of the snout which led Steve Etches and his team to locate the rest of the specimen

Constantly confused in Edinburgh because I can’t get used to southwards being uphill.

ChatGPT's "Old White Guy Energy" is really epitomised in the way it never asks a single clarifying question.

It just assumes it knows what you mean, no matter how little context you give it. 😅

We should never underestimate the extent to which the BBC changed this country by giving endless airtime to Nigel Farage, other far right extremists and the Tufton Street junktanks, while shutting out progressive voices. 🧵

America drifted into dysfunction in fits and starts over the course of like four decades but Britain just held a "should our country suck now" referendum and has been giving voters exactly what they asked for
