In light of Musk landing a tower of crap in Washington, I’m stepping back from X. Hope you’ll join me on mas.to@ or sihammond.bsky.social Missing Twitter.

Having your ChatGPT analyse the message thread of an OkCupid match to confirm its GenAI nature feels very 2026.

@trish1400 Huddling in pubs is a good move. It would have to be biscuits for me.

@sixball Meetings are held in the pub and it was lovely and warm. 😆😃 Plus I've always liked tea, cake and crafts, I probably should have joined 20 years ago.

I've just joined the WI 👵🤣

@trish1400 @sihammond @tado My house warms up pretty quick, so I'm thinking just setting the timings well should be enough. Maybe need to research now.

@sihammond @tado Yeah, I was debating just leaving it. I only use the app to turn the heating on in advance when I come back from a trip in the winter (so about twice a year) and Tado X doesn't calculate the time-to-temp which is used every day. So logically, it doesn't make sense to change it 😬

@tado hello. I've a Nest Gen 2 thermostat which is no longer smart, I've been given a code for 50% off a Tado. Great! But when I go to order, your website won't accept my Isle of Man postcode. Could it be updated? It should be the same shipping cost for Royal Mail as to England.

@trish1400 Everything good is vintage now! Except maybe USB-C.

This mug was a 21st birthday gift. I think it's now vintage 😆

@SkyNewsBreak If only the UK had a leader like President Trump. We've got a spineless coward.

Checking out Chorlton, which still sounds too much like...

I’m in York and can confirm it’s bigger than Canterbury but smaller than Manchester - while having elements of both.

Woke with a Dakgangjeong craving. Thanks, @HungLee!

Back to Canterbury where the water runs clear.

Took a notepad to the pub on some silly whim. ChatGPT transcribed my scrawl perfectly, corrected my misspelling, identified the game and explained the rules. Howzat?

There seems to be a bylaw in Montréal that all males in their 20s must have a 'tache.

I'm sitting in a bar listening to a French person (on a different table) speak English with the sort of accent a lazy, ignorant English person would use if they wanted to sound French. Any idea what region this could be? I'm clueless.

@trish1400 A genuine legend and still smashing it at cs.bham.ac.uk//~axs/

@sixball That made me wonder... This is what I found: "Professor Sloman retired in 2002 but is still doing full time research" 😀 Good man.

How it started. How it’s going.
