This was for a squeaky door hinge this morning, not me.

I just deleted a 23 post tweet about Ofsted, who does them and why based on established psychological research. You can thank me later.

There is no dog. It’s the back of a display unit in an industrial unit.

…the likelihood is that quality and safety checks/simulations (where AI appears to detect it’s not in the real-world and perform to the test) will become more and more performative until one day not far away, the tail will be truly wagging the dog. This is a real concern.

“The honest probability range, anchored to the research, is 60–75% under current trajectories for meaningful loss of human AI oversight capacity within a decade.” As Anthropic changes its policy on pausing AI models when they outstrip the company’s ability/capacity to QA them…

3 books on the go at the same time. I need to lock-in and get it down to at least two. Slooooow progress.

Sold out in Manchester! I’m not going but wish I was - too slow to realise Randy Feltface was even in the country!

At what point does Tenderstem broccoli just become ‘stem’?

I will never be able to re create a cheese / cocktail evening that looks like this @refertopharmacy ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Anybody else wrap up a lemon or satsuma with a Tunnocks Tea Cake wrapper then leave it out like bait? No? Oh.

@HalilMrT4Real Very pleased for you - I juggle specs every day - it must be wonderful

@getloggedin Great question..... it was weird more than discomfort during the procedure! For a few hours after some discomfort. That's it really!

I woke up today and for the first time in over 30 years I didn't reach for glasses or have to put in contact lenses! 🤓 I had laser eye surgery..it was done in a matter of minutes! The wonders of modern science! It didn't quite turn me into superman..but man I feel super! 🤩

@PaulHeatonSolo Vividly remember me and uniformed school pals sat playing London 0 Hull 4 in a bedroom absorbing every song as if life depended on it. We were 16 and Flag Day, along with every single other track (Anxious especially) had me locked in.

40 yrs ago yesterday, Flag Day was at 33 in the Indie Charts. It'd reached 126 in the proper charts. Those days of the Indie Charts were so important to young, upcoming bands like ourselves & gave you the encouragement to believe there was someone out there who loved your song

@omaze 3 years on and the 2026 Lakes House Draw happens today. The glass case of emotion beckons - again.

Did you win the @Omaze Lake District House draw today? Me neither.

Recently took 24 hrs off this platform - it was so good. I think this may be it for me on this account. 👋

‘The Holdovers’ (2023) ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Hints of ‘The Graduate’, ‘Breakfast Club’, ‘Good Will Hunting’ a 69-71 soundtrack put together as carefully as ‘Almost Famous’. Watch on Netflix if you can 👌

15 years ago a neighbour introduced us to @Ringtons tea. It has been a firm favourite ever since. There. A boring tweet about tea. But it’s true so treat yourself sometime if you’re a fan of an excellent brew.

It depends what you're having it with doesn't it?
