From the bridge of HMS Belfast. The Guns are aimed at Watford Gap Services, several miles away. I don't know what they did to upset HMS Belfast, but the cafe is a bit of a dump.

You all know where this is. It's also a nice memory as I lost my return ticket that day (I think I lifted it out of my inside pocket with my phone) and the lady at Waterloo gave me a free ticket on the basis that I did not mention losing anything but she thought my request to buy a single sounded a bit odd as the return wasn't much more expensive. #photography #London

Lots of textile shops, sportswear, fruit and veg. When I came here I had an idea about weekly shopping at the market but honestly it's very expensive.

Like the Docklands in London, the industrial zone of the Strip is dying, replaced by apartments and up-market restaurants. There's still a lot of the past there, though. #photography #pittsburgh

Slightly hot on the highlights but I like painted brick signage. This is from the Strip District. I think there are apartments here now.

Downtown #Pittsburgh from the mount, a very common aspect; I quite liked this one from nearly 12 years ago. Haven't been back at night for some years.

It was taken with an EOS 20D & Sigma 20-40 2.8 EX DG, just used the handrail as a rest. #photography

Cold, wet, and windy. It's *very* November here today.

What is this current trend for chucking a board in a kitchen appliance, giving it a daft name, and calling it s 'robot'.

Jesus crypto bros are worse than MLM Karens. They bought into something so hard they can't conceive of it being bullshit.

Wait did somebody buy Twitter

Crypto has taken advantage of people s greed and desire for a quick buck. I've seen threads of greedy boomers that have put their savings into it because some rando on the internet told them to. It's really quite sad.

It's unregulated and full of money, of course there's theft everywhere.

One born every minute.

I know, I know...but it made me laugh.

Hopefully this FTX thing will quieten all these crypto arseholes, but I doubt it.

Mercedes #F1 have suspended their sponsorship deal with FTX. This usually happens because of a breach of contract, either payment or reputation.

Posting this, apropos of nothing whatsoever that has occurred in the last week.

I notice there's a parallel with a lot of open source things when it comes to the Fedi. You have to learn to deal with the shortcomings, because the strengths are often very, very good. But you have to dog food it. Use it constantly, don't be distracted by the convenience of proprietary solutions. Learn the other ways.

"I can't be bothered with this thing I briefly toyed with and wrote a stupid, stupid, stupid article about, so I'll make up some specious reason why I left"

But what's this? Never underestimate the self-importance of a journalist, you say?
