@russellhoward you said you’re 18 month old loves diggers. Check this out…

@paned_neis_o_de @faintlyfalling The weirdest thing was they looked like they’d used the same bottle. Pair of talentless twats anyway, who cares if they wanna look stoopid!

@faintlyfalling Ditto Declan Donnelly.

My advice is: if you're going to dye your hair you should consider shades that will brighten and complement an aging complexion instead of simply choosing the colour your hair was when you were 25.

@JayOnlyInWaves @Glinner Always loved the crackles, pops, cleaning the record, cleaning the stylus etc. I have Jeff Beck on vinyl, CD and digital and a decent setup, the difference is minimal tbh. It’s more about convenience now.

@Glinner You will never get away from analogue as a superior reproduction of music than digital. Do I mean invest a quadrillion dollars in tubes and speakers? No. But even a relatively cheap setup with vinyl will get you closer than some digital stream.

By the way recently I tried to switch over to Apple Music because someone told me the sound quality was better than Spotify. And while I'm not a big stereonerd I do prefer to hear the music the way the artist wants it to be heard. So I switched over only to discover the UI is STILL a complete fucking mess. We used to joke about how it was Steve Jobs' revenge on music and maybe it was, but now he's out of the picture, maybe someone could fix it? Why are we still buying Apple products if they're not improving basic services like that? I'm sure even Jobs would finally agree with the basic wisdom of that.

@CGo62657515264 @ReubenR80027912 @MarinaPurkiss Oh dear, dropped myself in it there eh!? Been brainwashed by Trump! 🤦🏻

@chriswhear @ReubenR80027912 @MarinaPurkiss North Atlantic Treaty Organization

Truly incredible stuff here. This is such an egregious error for the A section of the NYT (not a typo, genuinely not knowing what NATO stands for) that it should lead every piece on the decline in journalism

@anishmoonka I survived with 5Gb then 50Gb, of cloud for all the time I had my first 5 phones. I bought a 15 Pro nearly 2 years ago I bought 250 Gb for 2.99 a month. It’s only half full, photos are only a third of that. The avg size of pics in my library (all ‘Live Photos) is around 4 mb.

Every photo you take on your iPhone is quietly recording a 3-second video in the background. You never turned this on. Apple ships every single iPhone with it enabled, and they have a $109 billion reason to keep it that way. It's called Live Photos. Been around since 2015. When you tap the shutter, your phone grabs 1.5 seconds of video before your finger hits the button and 1.5 seconds after. Then it stitches that clip to your picture and saves both. The storage cost is where it gets interesting. A regular iPhone photo is about 2–5 MB. How-To Geek tested Live Photos on an iPhone 13 and found each one runs around 13 MB total, roughly 5 MB for the picture and 8 MB for the video riding shotgun. So every photo with Live turned on takes 2.5x the space. Apple gives you 5 GB of free iCloud storage. For comparison, Google gives you 15 GB. At 13 MB per shot, you burn through Apple's free 5 GB in about 385 photos. Photutorial's 2024 data puts the average American at 20 photos a day. That's three weeks before Apple's free storage runs dry and the little "iCloud Full" notification starts nagging you to upgrade. $0.99 a month for 50 GB. $2.99 for 200 GB. $9.99 for 2 TB. And it keeps coming back. I've seen this complaint all over Apple's own support forums and across tech sites. People disable Live Photos. Software update rolls in. It switches itself back on. Apple has never explained this. Zoom out to the business side and the math clicks. Apple's services business (iCloud, App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV, all of it lumped together) pulled in $109.2 billion in 2025, up 14% from the year before. December 2025 quarter alone crossed $30 billion in services revenue for the first time in company history. iCloud+ and Apple One subscriptions account for about 26% of that pie, which works out to roughly $28 billion a year in charges that auto-renew every month on a credit card most people forgot they entered. I'll be fair. Live Photos do have some genuinely useful tricks. You can scroll through the frames and pick the one where nobody blinked. Long Exposure mode blurs water in rivers and waterfalls without needing a tripod. And you can turn any Live Photo into a short looping animation. But honestly, for the vast majority of people, Live Photos is just a storage tax they never signed up for. It sits there on every iPhone, quietly eating space. And sooner or later, the $0.99 upgrade prompt does the rest.

@Chazazon @_pblanknews You could get a pic like that on the south coast of the uk with a long enough exp. Haven’t you noticed the longer you look the more you see when looking at the night sky depending on light pollution.

@_pblanknews All these people answering you with “exposure” 😂 They have never stopped in the middle of New Mexico when it’s nighttime obviously!

How do we go from the first photo showing the Milky Way galaxy and millions of other stars to the second photo allegedly being in space and the background is completely black. Both can’t be true and the first photo is 100% real

@AvonandsomerRob Just munching our way through a tub of Cadbury’s ‘Roses’. Very nice, thick coating of ‘chocolate’. A tradition in our family at Christmas and Easter. Jesus loved ‘em so I’m told.

Did you put your money where your mouth is and boycott Cadbury's chocolate this Easter or did you just moan on Twitter and buy them anyway?

@BSmithBenS …and the ‘moon landings were done in a studio’ nutters.

The footage from Artemis II has got all the flat Earth space cadets on the globe below struggling to cope.

@AmazingNature00 Cochineal is a dye from the Cochineal insect. The female looks similar to these but isn’t this.

This is called the Oniscidae. You may find them under a brick or a damp object. You may have felt disgusted and wondered why they exist in nature. Well, let me tell you, the oniscdae, better known as cochineal, is a subgroup of isopod crustaceans whose function is to remove harmful heavy metals from the earth such as mercury, cadmium and lead. They contribute to the cleansing of soil and groundwter to reaffirm the wisdom of nature. Do not damage them or spray pesticides!

@HeidiBachram @Glinner As a race of people treated so badly through history, culminating in the awful ‘final solution’ inflicted by the Nazis it amazes me that Israel and many of its Jews are now the ones inflicting horrors on its neighbours.

Tonight on the 2nd night of Passover my husband will stand outside his synagogue in a stab vest. He’s the first line of defence. Today I visited a church and they left the door open. I remarked how strange that was but it was perfectly normal for them. I wish it was for Jews too.

@giveashitnature @5By5Creativity Incredible that the ink on the date stamp is still readable 40 years on.

This Mars bar wrapper was made in 1986. It was found on a beach 35 years later. Still intact. Plastic doesn't decompose. It breaks into smaller and smaller pieces called microplastics that enter the water, the food chain, and your body. Bring a bag next time you go to the beach. Pick up what you find.

@jaycee_designns @emmanuelbasy They’re not accolades, just 30 yrs of solid experience in a corporate environment. I know the World has changed and language is very different but you won’t be taken to seriously if all you can do is speak pidgin however much clients might wanna be ‘down with the kids’.

@chriswhear @emmanuelbasy Lol Nigerians sha.. Please dude just go your way please.. Just go with all your accolades... Bye

Yesterday, I interviewed a candidate for a Graphics Design role. No fancy degree. No big-name company on his CV. But his portfolio? Clean. Intentional. Story-driven. I asked him to redesign a basic flyer. In 15 minutes, he didn’t just design… He asked:

@jaycee_designns @emmanuelbasy I’m foolish? Yes, I have recruited and employed people, run studios, booked illustrators, photography and models along with a small agency. Serviced and run campaigns for clients like Ford, Volvo, Mazda, British Rail, Post Office and many more well known names in the UK.

@chriswhear @emmanuelbasy I think you are very foolish... Cause wtf... Are you an employer? What's your business with my language

@hearttmyart This is extreme, I get some small differences but nothing like this.

There are suprisingly many people who dont know the reason why this happens

@realdonaldtrump This what we’re up against with Trump and his fan club, fuck nature, fuck clean air, fuck everyone and everything as long as he makes the green stuff. Richest guy in the cemetery. clicks.independent.co.uk/f/a/UXMid9xHZc…

@jaycee_designns @emmanuelbasy Prime example. Do you think you’re clients want their ad copy presented like that you tool

@chriswhear @emmanuelbasy Broo go and sleep abeg

@GoingParabolic You people are twats, a simple search will tell you landing is planned for Artemis 4. All the other missions are to test the current technology this is about establishing a base not just planting a flag.

This landed on the moon and then returned to earth. Then we lost the technology. Today we have the technology to circle the moon. Pretty incredible progress!

@BROKENBRITAIN0 Isn’t there a limit on how many bags you can take. Prob gonna sell it in their own corner shop.

Hordes of unemployed Muslims rush to supermarkets to buy all the cheap discounted veg that’s for Easter These cheeky b@stards don’t even celebrate Easter yet they’re getting all the deals whilst Brits are in work.

@jaycee_designns @emmanuelbasy Read my reply to the other tweet you sent me you fuckwit

@chriswhear @emmanuelbasy Also since when did graphic design has to do with English 😂😂😂😂
