Yeah, they do a good job. And despite all the complaints I think they're reasonably unbiased.

I LOVE Ros Atkin's explainers. Dig in to a story. Find the facts. I miss his "Outside Source" programme.

As much as I hate to say it because it involves AI, Kagi News is a really good way to check in and make your own decisions about what is important and how much you want to read about it.

It's that the definition of "breaking" has changed so much.

Someone wins an election: important
New president spills ketchup on his suit: really not
12 people die on a beach in Australia: important
Here's what the shooter ate for breakfast: really not

I exaggerate, but...

Ah, I do like to keep an eye on important news. Was probably more useful back in Covid times and crazy-election-year.

But it's too much now.

What’s stupid is that the BBC doesn’t need to be in the race to the bottom. It shouldn’t be clamouring for sensational-driven news because it’s not ad-supported. It should just be there, telling me what’s actually important in the world.

Meets the definition of “breaking” in ways they really didn’t intend (and not the one they did!)

Have you seen turbo-admin.com (mine - browser extension) and commandui.com (not mine - premium plugin)?

There are other similar products too.

There's some really weird bugs going round. I had proper cold/flu for a couple of weeks and I still have a cough and lethargy about 6 weeks later. Not Covid. But the Flu is apparently really nasty this winter.

Those viruses can have really weird effects too.

Rest up, mate. Feel better soon!

What's the drain covers thing? What am I looking for. It sounds interesting.

Also... that huge face on The Sphere - that must be SO bad for the drivers.

Oh. Hi Bob! I did find you. But Bluesky says you have an invalid handle? So I wasn't sure it was you. You might want to check your profile.

You two are so funny. I love hearing you chat. Keep it up!

Also… your thing about crazy random typing in text boxes reminded me of the global caps lock… did you see that?

Seems like it didn’t run for long…
