Did Alfie ever work out what it’s all about, and is there, like, a Substack or something?

ig it was always a vain hope, but I really did hope that one lesson we’d learn from Covid was wearing a mask when you have a cold or other similar transmissible ailment

Y’know, one area that’s always been unsettled for me in the fight for trans rights is competitive sport, but I guess for me it’s the whole ‘ranking of humans based on physical prowess’ that seems kinda pointless and arbitrary.

One of my annoyances with Sony’s handy Product Showcase mode is that I don’t always want to have the camera focussing on whatever’s closest to it in a video; most of the time, I want it focussed on me. Here’s the fix – with a text step-by-step underneath it! youtu.be/DQdhe-m_4Ao

Why I bought the Apple Silicone Case for my new iPhone eyes-open – despite assuming it has the same fatal flaw of previous Silicone Cases.

Survived caseless for a week! 😅 I’m sure I used to have an orange Apple Silicone case before so went looking for it for a photo. Couldn’t find it, but did find this 6S case, and the difference in camera aperture over 10 years amused me!

Attending a memorial this morning for a friend who decided to leave the party far too early, at least as far as the rest of us are concerned.
Go tell someone you love how much they mean to you. Go make some art. Ensure the world is more beautiful because of you, and the community you raise up.

Has anyone successfully thrown video to a car using the new AirPlay functionality in iOS 26’s CarPlay? I’m aware it needs to be added by devs for third-party apps, but I assumed it would work with video from Photos or Safari’s default media player, but I couldn’t get it to work. Am I dumb?

My friend Stuart and I have often talked about the rich #queer resonances in the song ‘A World Of Your Own’ from the 2023 movie Wonka, and recently, finally, we did so with a camera rolling so you can join in on the discussion. youtu.be/Wt1ArezeaiQ
I’m proud of this. I hope you share this joy! 🏳️🌈

Technically, I lost comprehensively 😅 but being able to successfully coordinate five adult schedules to get some of the most important people in my life round for a night of Mario Kart, means that’s really, I’m winning the biggest prize of all 🥰

It’s called ‘Stochastic Terrorism’…
Remember that term when you see ‘gender critical’ transphobes saying “it’s just a joke” or posting their trans-exterminationist rhetoric wrapped in whimsy, or spoken in a posh accent! 😣

Reminded of this very silly video I made back when I wrote a column about vintage Apple tech. Ejecting the internals of a G4 Cube always felt like pulling out a nuclear core, so I went all-in, scripting something, having friends record dialogue, slathering vfx and sfx… youtu.be/69PE6XSqE0g

The world is divided into two types of people: people who, on hearing you have availability from, say, 2–5pm, would book at half hour meeting at the latest at 4:30 or at 5pm.
And the latter group needs to be respectfully euthanised. For their own good.

This isn’t the female gaze. This is the male gaze. It’s men who are obsessed with the physicality of other men. Women, in the main, would much rather see a man who looks like he’d make himself a stack of buttered toast and let you steal a slice

Notice how no one, not a single soul, has ever complained about the female gaze in entertainment.
