Happy expat US Thanksgiving to those who celebrate!
Two pies sit on a wooden countertop. The left pie has a pecan topping, while the right pie appears to be pumpkin. Various jars and packages can be seen in the background.

Spotted in my neighbourhood in North London.
A sticker on a post reading "DIGI ID EVEN 1984 DIDN'T PREDICT THIS EVIL." The background shows a blurred street scene.

Good morning from somewhere over Greenland…
Aerial view of snow-capped mountains and glaciers under a clear sky at sunrise, with a soft orange horizon and an aircraft engine visible in the corner.

My plane to London. Yes! #pokemon
A colorful Pokémon-themed airplane is parked on the tarmac, featuring characters like Pikachu on its fuselage. Ground crew are servicing the aircraft. In the background, another plane takes off against a clear blue sky.

@w3cdevs @estelle @openwebdocs later…something something ghost in the shell something.
A performer interacts with electronic equipment while a large, doll-like character dressed in a frilly red outfit sits nearby. A projection screen displays computer code, and the scene is set against a city skyline at night.

Made it to the @w3cdevs developer meet-up in Kobe where @estelle from @openwebdocs is rocking it. #tpac
A crowd of people sits in an indoor space, attentively watching a presentation. The presenter, standing on a stage, is visible on the right, while a slide displayed on a screen outlines topics related to CSS and popover slide decks.

@rednikki it’s a bit crowded but here’s one interior shot (and a view as pulling out of Nagoya). :)
Interior of a train with plush, maroon seats and overhead luggage compartments. A digital display shows route information in Japanese, indicating stops in Kyoto and Osaka. Soft lighting is evident in the ceiling design. A cityscape featuring a commercial area with a large building displaying various brand logos, including Bic Camera and Ymobile. The scene is rainy, with a bus stop crowded with people. Nearby, there are empty parking spaces and construction on the right.

Good morning from Tokyo! On my way to Kobe. 🚄
A sleek white high-speed train with blue stripes is parked at a station. The side of the train features several large windows, and a red light is visible near the top. The platform has a modern design with railings, and blurred figures of passengers.

Every time I fly to Japan, I find myself watching something mind blowing. This trip was no exception. “Taroman Expo Expolosion” is a movie that defies all reason and simply must be experienced. 🤯

On the way home from the famers market we kept seeing vintage busses running on regular routes - here are two of them, but they were on other routes too. Looks like there's some kind of vintage bus thing going on, but I can't find anything about it online. 🚌

The @lfeurope Roadshow event is kicking off with a (refreshingly) political talk from German Green Party MEP Alexandra Geese talking about, among other things, the influence of toxic algorithms in social media on elections. It's definitely got people's attention here.

Can confirm the presence of frogs in London. 🐸
A group of individuals dressed in inflatable dinosaur and frog costumes stands outside a modern building (the US embassy in London). They hold signs that read "TYRANNOSAURUSES AGAINST TYRANTS" and one figure displays a "STOP the broligarchy" sign.

Last day in Amsterdam. Taking what’s become my regular morning constitutional through Beatrixpark. Will I join some AI_Dev talks this morning and attempt to keep an open mind before heading back to London. 🚄
A serene lake surrounded by lush greenery, with reflections of trees on the calm water. A small wooden dock can be seen on the left side. The sky is partly cloudy, creating a peaceful atmosphere.
