This was my last post on Instagram while this unacceptable policy is in place.
App deleted from phone.
Nothing bad happened when I dropped Facebook. Life improved dropping Twitter. Bluesky, you'd better behave.

The real challenge for tech bros is striking the fine balance between completely destroying humanity and retaining enough of it that their billions are still worth something.

Joe Wicks protein bar expose wasn't shocking enough. Very glad I'm not a protein bar/powder obsessive.

my latest investigation for @consumerreports.org is based on months of reporting and 60+ lab tests of leading protein supplements

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)

Protein Powders and Shakes Contain High Levels of Lead - Consumer Reports

CR tests of 23 popular protein powders and shakes found that most contain high levels of lead.

OpenAI’s strategy is very clear, it’s trying to get people - especially young people - so reliant on its products intellectually & emotionally (& now sexually!) that going without them becomes unthinkable. And they need signs of that strategy working to keep the funding flowing in

It's a tough watch at times, but fuck, it's good.

Riot Women is one of the best shows I've watched on TV in a long time.

Yes they do. Well, not me of course, I don’t want this. Because I already HAVE this.

But I do want to *keep* having this, so I guess that technically I do want this. Dammit. Don’t take this away from me.

It’s fucking ACE so it is. It is the pinnacle of human achievement and it’s in the same room as me right this moment and it gives me such a glow every time I so much as glance in its direction. I might take it apart this Christmas just so as I can give myself the bits to build again. Much cheaper than just buying another kit which try as it might just will not be as good. How could it? Nothing is.

tl/dr: I really like this thing

Love these two

2 dogs, one laid down on the grass looking left, the other sat staring at the camera, by a canal. The sun is setting behind them. All is bathed in golden light

Laurent @lozzercozzer.bsky.social · 3d

That's a great pic 😆

Laurent @lozzercozzer.bsky.social · 3d

Lovely walk with the dogs. The light this time of year can be amazing.

2 dogs on the grass by a sunny canal. Trees on the opposite bank are reflected in the water a low sun shines into the camera.

Cookie dog, sat with one paw up and panting. The canal and a big blue sky behind her.

Grass seed heads with a spider web between 2 of them. They are looking golden in the fading sun light

The silhouette of a horse rider riding up on the canal bank in front of the setting sun. A purple lens flare is also visible

I think it’s reached the point where if a studio hired Jared Leto for a movie they should be investigated for insurance fraud because it’s some The Producers bullshit for sure

7 reasons why The Thing (1982) is a Christmas film:

1) snow
2) bearded men concealing surprises
3) compulsory party games
4) introverts shunning group activities
5) digestive issues
6) revellers bursting open to reveal partially assimilated canine lifeforms
7) knitwear
