I've had the same bike for 15 years. Finally got to the point where I needed a new one but I've not been able to find anything I love in quite the same way.
Then yesterday I found the exact same model in a shop, near mint condition.
It was a joy to ride home. ♥️
Stamer at his best today with Kuenssberg.
As Trump pressures #Apple to drop its DEI policies, it's a great chance for them to use that big pot of cash to wait him out until another President comes in.
Thin skinned men will be the end of us.
Bakewell tart in Bakewell. Absolute delight.
No protection. Well done protecting your citizens, UK government.
I like this. I do. But I also really wish there was a 'close friends' option as well. I could really do with a Facebook replacement.

Spent the evening annoyed that I've written ALL my thousands of obsidian.md notes for the last four years with markdown links rather than wikilinks - then I realised Linter has a regex option and now EVERYTHING IS WONDERFUL AGAIN.
Thank you, Linter.

Journalling every day over Lent is a great way to realise you do nothing and should get out more.
The satire of Camus is completely lost in the modern world. Now I can both bored and over-stimulated all at the same time, thanks to social media and the endless feed.
We have squeezed contemplative thought out of our day like squeezing a lemon. What husk remains is (like this post) performative. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/570567b4698910c624f96cddba71dd244e746a8d582ca1359c4fcf3fb26f354e/cf559079146a0eb22661d49f407c6db7e83f8f4e5a326e4999454342d08e4698.webp
It's time to trawl through all my email newsletter subscriptions and convert them to RSS follows BECAUSE NEWSLETTERS ARE AN AWFUL WAY TO FOLLOW GOOD WRITING.
I love the idea of a national poetry centre in the North but maybe we could have given the £5m directly to the poets instead.
Ah well, maybe it can be a nice place for all them to keep warm while they slowly starve to death in iambic pentameter.
And I hear China has a bit of experience with forcably displaced people. https://cdn.nostrcheck.me/570567b4698910c624f96cddba71dd244e746a8d582ca1359c4fcf3fb26f354e/38e14937ccc21507aebd93b60823610a8f4906e9c942cb9d6f0ebd752e9be534.webp
Kinda really like how #Pinksky does it. It's still my account and my follows and my feeds - but just the pictures. Kinda wish #Pixelfed worked like that on the real Fediverse.
Yeah, it's a coup.
Hi everyone. Buy yourself a NAS drive.

I uninstalled Threads today.
I know at some point
we are meant to choose
what we are
and what we are not.
The thing is,
I don't want to.
I want to do
ALL the things.
Be them all.
Then reload my save
And do/be/love them
all over again,
Live them
A hundred different ways.
There is not enough universe
For my appetite.

Micropayments on the open web is something I really want to happen. Seems like this project might be a step in the right direction.

I keep coming back to this idea. It's one I've seen so many places - because it seems to ring true for so many people.
The answer is always action. Do the thing. Get it done. Work on it. There are no shortcuts worth taking.
