Rest in peace, Mel. 😔

I’m at a Grime show and there’s a guy filming the performance with a Nintendo DS. I rate that! 😄 The best camera is the one that’s with you 📷

Another song I’ll be singing out loud in traffic 👌🏾 The music sounds great. Like a modern Bond theme.

Finally. I got to look at the photography from one of my favourite photographers. The late, great… Gordon Parks. Awesome.

Happy Mothers Day 🌺

Big up @MsBanks Congratulations on your latest release 👏🏾

@judeblay Agreed👌🏾

Baby Keem - Sex Appeal >>>>>

The best part is that I have two songs I like. Finding old songs through new Rap songs is one of my favourite things to do.

I’m always fascinated on how producers choose who and what to sample. Like, when did they hear Bill Withers and thought… hey! This would be great for Baby Keem and Too Short! It’s such a slight sample as well. Three words. Not even the melody of the song, but it still fits.

“Stay with me, Stay with me, Stay with me, Stay with me, Stay with me, Stay with me…” #BabyKeem open.spotify.com/track/7EiujtpJ…

Bruv! You actually got down on one knee!!!!! #MAFS

Amazon had four Sev-1 outages (their highest severity level) in a single week. Internal memos say AI-assisted code changes were a contributing factor. The timeline here is wild. In October 2025, Amazon laid off 14,000 corporate employees. In January 2026, another 16,000. That’s about 30,000 people in five months, roughly 10% of the corporate workforce. CEO Andy Jassy said the cuts were about culture, not AI. During those same months, Amazon set a target: 80% of developers using AI coding tools at least once a week. They tracked adoption closely and blocked rival tools like OpenAI’s Codex. Even so, 30% of developers still hadn’t touched Amazon’s in-house tool Kiro by January. In December 2025, Kiro caused a 13-hour AWS outage. The AI tool had production-level permissions and decided the best fix for a bug was to delete and recreate an entire live environment. A second incident involved Amazon Q Developer, another AI tool. Amazon blamed both on “user error, not AI.” But quietly added mandatory peer review for all production access afterward. Then March 5: Amazon’s retail site went down for about six hours. Over 22,000 users reported checkout failures, missing prices, and app crashes. Amazon called it a “software code deployment” error. Five days later, SVP Dave Treadwell made the normally optional weekly engineering meeting mandatory. His memo acknowledged “GenAI tools supplementing or accelerating production change instructions, leading to unsafe practices.” These problems trace back to Q3 2025. Amazon’s own assessment: their GenAI safeguards “are not yet fully established.” The new rule: junior and mid-level engineers now need senior sign-off on any AI-assisted production changes. Treadwell also announced “controlled friction” for the most critical parts of the retail experience. For context, Google’s 2025 DORA report found 90% of developers use AI for coding but only 24% trust it “a lot.” An Uplevel study of 800 developers found Copilot users introduced 41% more bugs with no improvement in output. Amazon is finding out what those numbers look like at the scale of a $500 Billion revenue company, with 30,000 fewer people on staff to catch the mistakes.

Black Londoners are up to 48 times more likely to be stopped and searched in some of London’s richest and whitest areas. The grounds used to justify stop and searches were vaguer than those used for white Londoners, with one officer stopping a black Londoner because he gave a “furtive glance”. The study, conducted by the mayor’s office for policing and crime and King’s College London, analysed every single stop and search carried out in 2023 and totalled over 150,000 records. In 24 wards of London, including Richmond-on-Thames, black people were 48 times more likely to be stopped and searched, whilst in Dulwich Village they were 40 times more likely. In Hampstead, north London, black people were 38 times more likely to be stopped. Across England and Wales, black people are four times more likely to be subjected to stop and search, whilst they are 3.7 times more likely in areas policed by the Met. Around two-thirds of stops lead to no action. The data also shows that around 80% of people stopped and searched each month is male and people aged 18-24 are most often targeted. Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: “This major new research shows significant and unacceptable levels of disproportionality that we must act on. “That’s why along with the other steps to support and hold the Met to account, I am introducing a mandatory annual report of how stop and search is being used in London. The use of stop and search must be more transparent and accountable to deliver a safer and fairer London for all.”

Mother. Father. I get it now. Children are mad! 😅 I used to think “Alright man! Stop talking to me so I can go and play game”. Now I’m the one doing the talking and I’m totally valid in doing so 😄 Bun your game.

@Wretch32 Happy Birthday bruv 👊🏾

Rest in peace Dot 🙏🏾

@Reece_Parkinson Yes bruv 👊🏾

Officially completely debt free after years of credit card debt and slight leverage (well, a 20k bank loan) I took on from 2024… very much my mood rn:
