This is quite cool. How big is the #Glastonbury site? This is it compared to Coventry city centre where it dwarfs the ringroad boundary. Try your town or city here: gsp8181.co.uk/glasto/?loca...

@u0421793 Wait, you alt texted! Years since I saw it!

@u0421793 So sorry, I don’t get the ref! You’re welcome to educate me :)

@SirSwatch I still appreciate it! It’s just that she’s already getting to go to a Katy Perry concert and to see Hamilton for her birthday, which is kinda coincidental but kinda not, so I didn’t want to drop too much on her on-the-day gift!

@SirSwatch Looks awesome. (Though yes, ouchy on price!)

@Rossireland A good instinct, and I avidly support these resources! I'll have a think – though in this case, it's something I'm comfortable with owning in the house (and sharing), since she'll def be doing badge-making at unsociable hours!

@feorag @otfrom Exactly the kind of recommendation I hoped and trusted the fedi would deliver :)

Noted, thanks, man!

This feels like an extremely fedi question:

Does anyone have recommendations for a good badge maker?

Would like to get one for my kid's upcoming birthday. I don't need 'actual workhorse machine capable of churning out hundreds of badges a day' but I don't want '£15 crap that is unpleasant to use and feels like it will break after half a dozen badges'. Good quality, easy to find supplies for, ideally from a decent company.

Sub-£100 is good. Sub-£60 is even better. Go! Thanks!

Boosts welcome 🙇🏻

Feminism asked women to become something new. And it asked men to give up something that they didn’t understand they had. https://open.substack.com/pub/philippaperry/p/ask-philippa-her-life-his-rules?r=1r23vk&utm_medium=ios

@gnomon One of my most cherished and important pieces of media ❤️‍🔥

They want you to think ‘protest’ only looks like marches and Molotov cocktails because that’s merely thousands of people in one place at one time whom they can crush with force. They love that.

They can’t crush a protest that’s a billion people over a dozen generations feeding friends and neighbours, creating truthful and unapologetic art, being the safe person someone knows they can unmask with, ‘letting the soft animal of your body love what it loves’, having joyously affirming sex, or making yourself quietly kinder and softer year after year. They hate that.

Both protests have value. But one is ours.

@swiftovercoffee My apologies to @mikaelacaron for I was unable to fix her saying 'Thank you to listening for Swift Over Coffee' at the end 😅 but at least I didn't make that the episode title…

I would very much like to live long enough to see this particular brand of faux-intellectual edgelord cuntery get laughed out of the public square

Screenshot of a post by ‘terrorsuspect’ of social media which reads:

McDonald's Cashier: "Would you like fries with that?"
Jordan Peterson: "How would you know what I like?
Liking isnt the same as Wanting, or dare I say, Needing"
MC: ".
...so you dont want fries or..'
JP: "Define Fries"
MC: "uhhhh they're potatoes that-"
JP: So Vodka is fries? I'll have vodka with my big mac"
JP Fans: "This man is an intellectual powerhouse"

@jeffwatkins I don’t think it’s spam, I think it’s a legit piece of PR! (And so if it is, it’s fooled me!) I get a lot of these from my days as a journalist.

I mean, she's not wrong, but 🤨

Sex work is work, being a landlord is not

Too silly. Sick of my desk so took my laptop out in the car to work this evening, which not only has a standard wall socket to charge the laptop, but an HDMI port. Turns out (of course) that I can use one of its screens as an extended display. Too small for working as such, but I love a little HUD for secondary tasks 😂 (and of course audio plays out over HDMI to the car’s speakers).

A laptop open in a car with a small screen in the dash showing the standard Mac System Settings. Outside we see the mouth of the River Tay, and Broughty Ferry castle, a squarish, boxy building.

@TechConnectify Thanks for this :) Re your question at the end: yeah I’d be interested seeing an updated charging video! One question I’m too lazy to have researched yet is:

For me, charging from an 240v AC outlet (in the UK) is completely compatible with our EV use. I am considering replacing the janky wiring with a dedicated line. If charging times and cost don’t matter, is charging slowly from regular wall outlet ultimately (slightly?) kinder to the battery than installing a Type 2 wall box?
