I can't remember the last time I worked in a team that wasn't multicultural. Stronger for it. x.com/inthecompanyof/status/…

We should aspire and be grateful that people want to come and work here, not upset or annoyed. immigration is fucking awesome.

I have some old x86 computers that I no longer need, but which are too good to waste. Even if they can't run Windows 11, they can still run #linux well. Anyone know of a charity in #Wales that recycles old computers for folks who can't afford one?

I'm not saying that the ThorpyFX Dane mk2 is a great pedal ... but I just looked up after plugging it in, and my coffee has mysteriously gone cold 😱 Merry Christmas everyone!

If you've also made the move over to bluer skies, drop me a reply and let me know, so that I can find you over there.

Woke up to flooding in Pontypridd caused by Storm Bert. When this happened with Storm Dennis, it was badly reported by UK press - but at least it got mentioned. This time? Nothing at all.

The local Facebook groups make for difficult reading this morning. And not just because of the families and businesses affected by these devastating floods. Disasters sometimes bring out the absolute worst in people.

Origin Effects have just launched their 5e3-in-a-box Deluxe55 pedal. It's a full preamp, not just an overdrive pedal. Even mimics the speaker impedance curve from a real Tweed Deluxe amp. They've released an IR pack too to go with the pedal, I believe?

In the coming days there's gonna be a lot of opining about what the Harris campaign did wrong, but this election was not an indictment of Kamala Harris. It was an indictment of America.

My timeline is full of folks worried about our dependence on the US for military security. I haven’t seen anyone (yet) worrying about our utter dependency on American technology. We have no alternatives to turn to should a Trump presidency limit foreign access to basic tech.

This is a dark, dark day for people around the globe. The world’s largest economy and most powerful military will be led by a dangerous, destructive demagogue.

Earlier this morning Janey passed away in her sleep. Her family were with her. The love and support from all her friends and fans during this cancer journey brought her enormous joy. It has also been a huge comfort to us, her family and close friends, thank you.

Dear ⁦@BBCNews⁩, your choice of headline here reeks of colonialism. β€œDefies”?!? They’re sovereign countries, not British colonies. Whoever proposed this editorial tone - and whoever approved it - needs to be fired for this. This attitude has no place in today’s world.
