Every week I curate & publish a human-authored journal in search of novelty, exploring what we share, how we share, and where we’re going.

I’ve just been followed by multiple accounts with thousands of followers who are sharing the same content in exactly the same order. Is this some kind of a new bot building infestation?

A thread remembering Mani and a wonderful insight into a passionate musician who inspired so many.
I wrote a few words about Mani for The Sunday Times - I didn’t know it would be behind a paywall, so here it is if you would like to read it:

This post is not about how to clean solar panels. (It’s just something I needed to do mid writing). It’s about all kinds of stuff. Including resilience, Bob Dylan, Cocktails, and a bunch of other random stuff. open.substack.com/pub/document...

What you can’t hear in this photograph is #DeepPurple playing close to full volume within the room.
It’s been a while and I am thoroughly enjoying it. I’m ashamed to say I forgot how bloody good they are.

The guys from #Budwud Ltd have been grafting on behalf of @np-polytunnels.bsky.social to build our new polytunnel. It’s shaping up nicely.

#NowPlaying a reissue of #Boltthrower Warmaster.
Fun fact. I posed for the album cover. Not the hero with the bloodied sword, the impailed guy. I'll share the story tomorrow in Documentally.net.
RIP the artist Pete Knifton.

@mattdinniman.bsky.social hi Matt, who’s your agent? I’d like to chat with them about a possible interview when you’re in Glasgow.

Cheeky… Scotland ‘smallest pub’ on the left is connected to another larger one on the right. Feels like one massive pub to me.

Hello Bluesky! 👋

We’re Northern Polytunnels, makers of Britain’s toughest polytunnels since 1969.

Thanks to @documental.ly for the nudge to join. Excited to meet more growers, gardeners and fellow weather-battlers.

#NowPlaying Highway 61 Revisited. The point where Bob Dylan goes full electric. A messy, brilliant, game changer.
Can you believe the album is 60 years old?
I'm always drawn to the Nikon SP rangefinder hanging in the background.
All going to plan I'll be in the same room as Dylan tomorrow. #Vinyl

#NowPlaying. Underrated early-70s melodic prog rock. The proudly eccentric Greenslade, with two keyboardists and no guitarist. Smooth textures, jazz touches and meandering instrumental detours. A quirky charity shop find. Not bad for a fiver. #Vinyl

NEW: ProPublica examined months of Fox News’ coverage and reviewed over 700 videos posted on social media.

The network used five-year-old footage, mislabeled other dates and implied footage from elsewhere was in Portland.
“Riots Raging”: The Misleading Story Fox News Told About Portland Before Trump Sent Troops
After reviewing coverage from the network and hours of social media videos that preceded Trump’s decision, ProPublica found that Fox’s portrayal of “Portland rioters” routinely instigating violence was misleading.

The start of a journey.

Just took delivery of an EasyBuild #Polytunnel from #NorthernPolytunnels.
And it might be that I’m the first person too use the hashtag.

Do you change your voice when posting to LinkedIn?

I started this one as me, then imagined I'd combed my hair put on a tie and was standing in front of a whiteboard holding a dry marker.
