I’ve rewatched the Artemis II splashdown so many times this morning.

The nerd in me wants to see some of the mission data so badly.

Well done to EVERYONE involved in the mission 👏🏾👏🏾

I’m sat here trying to be productive, trying to distract myself from Trump saying “a whole civilisation will die tonight”. But I can’t and I won’t.

This man truly thinks he’s playing Call of Duty, while Iranian civilians are forming human chains around power plants.

WTAF is happening to this world

$750K from Schmidt Sciences to build AI for Black digital archives.

Cultural preservation getting resourced.

Finally 🙌🏾

Threads hit 400M users. Overtook X in daily actives.

No announcement, no victory lap.

People just moved where the conversation felt better (to them)

I woke up at 4am. Said to myself I’ll go back to sleep in 30 minutes 🫠.

Instead I created about 6 automations, actually read my emails AND replied to some, went to the shop, watched the sunrise and cleaned the kitchen.

Think I need a nap 🥴

UK govt exploring a 'personality right' to stop AI replicating real people. Your likeness, your voice. Protected. Buried in a copyright report most people won't read.

When the system fails you, you become the system.

I prototyped this in 2023 with a Flask mood tracker.

Weather auto-capture worked, but manual entry killed it.

If logging takes more effort than making tea, it won't survive week two.

Spec → Supabase schema → live UI in one session.

18 tables. 60-second check-ins. Correlation engine that spots patterns across symptoms, sleep, movement, and weather.

Screenshot of health portal showing a midday check-in flow with energy sliders, quick flag buttons for symptoms and flares, and a daily summary with trend indicators.

7 years of medical dismissal 😡

Yesterday, they finally confirmed what I'd been telling them.

So today I built my own health tracking system.

Turns out rage is an excellent project manager.

OpenAI are scrapping Sora so they can focus on their “superapp” for both enterprise and individual users.

Where have I heard this before? 🤔

Meek Mill posted about using Claude to run his music career and it got ~2.2M views.

AI stopped being a tech conversation and nobody told tech 🫠

- The Philippines is giving cash handouts.
- Ireland passed €235m.
- Serbia cut crude duties 60%.
- Brazil lifted diesel taxes entirely.
- Greece, €300m in subsidies.

The UK launched a Fuel Finder website 🙃

Brent crude up 50%. Gas up 90%.

No energy price cap for businesses.
Manufacturers are reporting the biggest input cost jump since Black Wednesday in 1992.

Reeves just delivered a statement to Parliament after yesterday's emergency COBRA meeting on the cost of living.

The announcement..."Contingency planning is taking place for every eventuality."

So remember when my Threads engagement dropped off and I thought I was just posting rubbish?

Posted about it on LinkedIn this morning and a Trust & Safety Specialist at Meta commented saying it "highlights something many of us have suspected but couldn't quite prove."

👀🙃🙄

A rogue `echo >>` had been appending `brew shellenv` to itself on every login. Since 2021. Breeding silently.

Fixed it. 5 minutes → instant.

Check your dotfiles 👀

My terminal took 5+ minutes to open a new tab. Blamed iTerm2. Blamed oh-my-zsh. Blamed nvm. Switched to Ghostty. Profiled with zprof.

The culprit? My ~/.zprofile. 6,294 lines.

All the same line.

It's the Oscars tonight and I've seen exactly one of the ten Best Picture nominees.

One.

But when that one has my husband (in my head) Michael B. Jordan and Ryan Coogler collaborating? I picked right.

Happy Mother's Day to all the mums across the land.

And happy Sunday to every sister, grandma, auntie and cousin who steps up. No card, no flowers. Just the work.

I see you. 🥰

That’s my current thinking. Will continue monitoring.

One thing I know for sure, they can try to mute me, but there are others ways for me to express myself.

Exactly this. Humans don't think in queries. Patterns > Queries IMHO.

What made you realise habits needed that shift?

Try asking a digital archive "what did my nan's generation experience when they came to Britain?"

Nothing. Not because the stories aren't there. Because keyword search doesn't speak like people do. 🌱

If you want the script, I'll put it on GitHub.

When your metrics tank, check the data before you check yourself. It might be them, not you.

Diversify platforms. Own your audience. Build where the algorithm isn't the landlord.

Could be a coincidence. Could be my content. I'll keep monitoring. Only time will tell.

But algorithmic suppression is well documented, and the pattern here is clear. Views prove reach. Engagement proves the mute.

Detail view of three suppressed posts. Starmer/Iran post on 28 Feb: 17,285 views, 1.38% engagement. Friday 13th post on 13 Mar: 725 views, 0.14% engagement. Atlassian layoffs post on 13 Mar: 313 views, 0.64% engagement. All below the 2.1% suppression threshold.

The suppressed posts?

A Starmer/Iran take (17k views, 1.38%). A Friday 13th post (725 views, 0.14%). An Atlassian layoffs post (313 views, 0.64%).

Political and corporate. Anything with an edge.

23 posts analysed. Median engagement: 4.2%, with peaks hitting 25%.

Then three posts dropped below 2.1%. One hit 0.14%. That's 30x below my baseline. On posts that were shown to people.

Threads Suppression Analysis dashboard showing 23 posts analysed over 30 days. Median engagement 4.2%, 3 suppressed posts, 13% suppression rate. Line chart shows engagement over time with three red dots marking posts that fell below the 2.1% suppression threshold.

My Threads engagement fell off a cliff. Views stayed the same. I didn't get worse at posting.

So I wrote a script, pulled 30 days of data, and investigated myself.

The CEO says "Our approach is not AI replaces people." The CTO got replaced by two people described as "next generation AI talent." The sentence is doing a lot of work to not say what it's saying.
