Problem solved. Duolingo chess deleted. Moved to Chessbase/Fritz. Much better. #LearningChess #Duolingo
Just to put it on the record, I'm not a fan of Duolingo Chess. Difficulty levels are erratic, the constant sledging is not funny, nothing is learnt and the whole experience is beyond aggravating. And yet it forces you to do the levels as part of the daily tasks. #DuolingoAbuse

Time for a bit of Peter Elson art to distract from the madness around us, and to dream of better worlds. #SciFi #Art

Good news everyone! I think this means Britain still owns America. 🤓
Wait til this prick hears about The Mayflower
Trump: "I'm a fan of Denmark too. They've been very nice to me. But the fact that they had a boat land there [Greenland] 500 years ago doesn't mean they own the land. I'm sure we had lots of boats go there also."

Further, Juno's radio measurements show that Jupiter's atmosphere shows structure well below the upper cloud deck -- even hundreds of kilometers deep

Ralph McQuarrie made an indelible mark on so much of sci-fi post Star Wars. The guy was a creative force of nature.

Looks like Trump has a new hobby. Only 3 days into 2026 and he’s collecting heads of state whose countries are rich in raw materials. Nicolas Maduro is in the US bag, so presumably Mette Frederiksen and Mark Carney are next? #USOilPlan #InternationalLaw World stabilising move or US empire expansion?

There's a fine line between packaging that secures your products from theft, and making sure you lose customers. Wickes/Stanley seem to be in the 'we prefer to lose customers' camp. 🤬 #DIY

The number of people who spend all their time on Duolingo always surprises me. I do my daily bit to brush up, but there are other things to do in a day. I doff my hat to the dedicated. #Languages

For the avoidance of doubt, AI does not produce art. #Art #Booksky Humans produce art through skill and imagination. If you use AI to produce art, create an illustration, write a book, that doesn‘t make you an artist, a poet, or an author.

Better watch this tonight, or I may end up getting spoilered by mistake! 🤓
Just finished Stranger Things and wasn’t prepared to feel so many emotions. What an incredible ending to an incredible show!

Note to writers and the publishing industry: Do not use AI to write your books. If I buy a book and find it has been produced or written with AI, I will send it straight back. I’ve already done this with a couple of books this holiday. #SciFi #Booksky #NoAI

This was a tough read. We all know the story, but some part of me kept hoping for a happy ending. Great work by @adamhigginbotham.bsky.social

Blitzed the Xmas release eps. Only New Year's ep to do. Get the tissues. Fair warning, there are a lot of tears. Can't believe it will be the last ever. First we saw them they were all kids, now they're all adults. Where has the time gone? Nice work guys. Good job. #StrangerThings #FiveStars

It's my boy's 14th birthday and a total nostalgia festival with Wall-E lego. We still maintain one of the top 5 movies ever.
