How did I miss that my favorite book series from one of the best scifi authors currently writing is now an Apple TV show? @Writer_Wells001 it's such an amazing adaptation!
I'm so sad to hear the news that @MrKenMitchell has died. He was an amazing person, and an amazing actor. His portrayal of Kol and other Klingons in #StarTrekDiscovery was magnificent, but my favorite by far was the moving performance of "Aurellio" in "There is a tide..."
I'm researching the legal & legislative implications of generative AI, so I've been following the Taylor Swift deepfake fallout with interest. I've read 6 articles this morning & it wasn't until I went to Twitter just now that I realized X.com isn't a porn site.

Hand soldered my first 0201 component today! A teeny capacitor on a PS5 HDMI
I knew the husband would *love* a PS5 for xmas but we didn't have that kinda money, so I learned to repair them
Got a cheap broken unit, repaired it and gifted it...now I can't stop😅😂

In further evidence that #startrek is awesome, I did a boxing day treasure hunt and the code for the lock at the end was 1701. I complemented the organizer on also being a star trek fan, and they had no idea what I was talking about...
It's great to see that the people at @OctopusEnergy thought about the process of reading a meter. It's the small things that make a real difference in user experience.

Just heard the Home Secretary stand up in Parliament and declare that "the British people support the Rwanda plan".
I'm sick of these guys telling me what I support.
I do not support the "Rwanda plan".
If you don't either, please retweet.
I'm reading Terry Hayes' "Year of the Locust". It's brilliant until 2/3rds through. Others have said this, but my reason is different as I saw the scifi left turn coming. What's killed my suspension of disbelief is optics being used to stealth a sub. Sonar doesn't work like that.
Okay, I take it back. We've just jumped the shark. In the space of 4 pages, we've gone from spy thriller to EM & sound waves mixed up & optical refraction mixed up with gravitational bending of light.
