I made this! It was very rewarding to do - please do give it a watch if you're interested.
We have started a YouTube channel! Our first video features the ‘Before and After’ of one of our mentors, Mobbassar. This is what costal breathing can do for stammerers after a lot of hard work! youtu.be/DCbmAdVJAuo?...

Reacher season 2, then. A lot of skillfully executed fun, but I thought the lack of the 'stranger in a strange town' energy from season 1 hurt it overall. The show turned into more of a generic action thriller, albeit pulled off well.

Hit Points by @hitpoints.bsky.social has always been a killer Substack, but this is undoubtedly one of the best pieces he’s ever published. Do give it a read: open.substack.com/pub/hitpoint...

I thought that I would definitely buy a Quest 3 immediately, but it’s a bizarrely undercooked launch. Meta has had ages to plan, so where are the big games for launch day? This should be like a console launch, with new first party and third party titles giving the headset a big ‘must own’ splash.

It's interesting how GB News have suspended Dan Wootton now after standing by him for weeks despite the very serious allegations that have been made against him. Almost as if it's convenient to have him off-air before Monday night, eh?

Having said that I would play Cyberpunk properly after pretty much every patch dropped, I’m finally doing it and absolutely loving the 2.0 update. This is a really good game now!

Right, let’s actually try to get into this BlueSky thing.

I’ve started setting up the ‘personal voice’ on my iPhone as an experiment. Having read the phone the required 150 phrases, I can only presume that I’ve also unwittingly reactivated Bucky.

Going to a wedding tomorrow and actually somehow fit into the suit I wore once in 2018. Good times!

Is there any weaker achievement than the 'You did it!' for standing up once an hour while wearing an Apple Watch?

It feels that Bluesky has been too slow out of the gate with not allowing non-invited people on yet. The moment for it may have passed now that Threads has launched and jumped to 10 million users so quickly, which is a shame as it seems like the best new ‘one of these’. Maybe a cult hit!

If you donate to Captain Tom's charity, can you claim Grift Aid?

So a post on Twitter is called a tweet. What's a post on Bluesky called?
