@ianRobinson I'm going to say yes, even though I suspect you may argue otherwise ;)

@ianRobinson You're going to miss all the Die Hard references as we approach Christmas.

@ianRobinson Smart move.

@ianRobinson See Gruber’s latest piece.

A Nazi bar with a remarkably friendly and inclusive culture is still a Nazi bar.

@losttourist Best to think of it as adverts with occasional breaks for sport.

Double #parkrun again this weekend, with Battersea yesterday (best time of the year, somehow) and RD duties at Figges Marsh juniors this morning. One person was celebrating their 100th volunteer and brought homemade cookies.

Gingerbread cookie with a parkrun logo in frosting/icing.

I hate this song. The first time I ever went abroad, to Italy, this was playing on a loop in every bar and restaurant. Couldn’t escape. #totp

@Bluedonkey Relatable.

Not a disaster. At least one person got my Evel Knievel reference.

@ianRobinson A solid choice!

At an AI conference today. I decided to spice up my talk with content that an LLM would be very unlikely to include. Let's see how it goes...

@ianRobinson One of Pixar's best!

@ianRobinson I don’t think I have the patience to be a gamer.

the scale of software is not and should not be lines written per second, it’s how well the product does on the market, which is a function of its quality, which (oversimplified) is its ability to solve a problem divided by further problems it causes

@Bluedonkey I’m pretty happy with the 4K Dell screen I have. Powers my laptop, bunch of USB ports.

With the caveat that I’ve not seen the finale yet, this season of Ted Lasso has been… fine? There have been some good bits, it’s not like I haven’t enjoyed it, but it’s not been super memorable. I’ve not seen much chat on The Socials.

Rhetorical question of the day: why do people think it's okay to abbreviate my name to "Steve" without asking first?

@sdarlington.mas.to.ap.brid.gyOct 6, 2026, 12:32 PM

@ianRobinson "Humane" is such a good word to describe it.

@sdarlington.mas.to.ap.brid.gyOct 6, 2026, 11:23 AM

ā€œSmall Prophets is sad and funny and whimsical, an unlikely piece of alchemy that comes together as simultaneously wild and understatedly humane.ā€ That’s a pretty much perfect description.
