Got my hair cropped into a pixie cut again yesterday. I'd tried to grow it out a bit to be long enough for a bob, but it's not having it. It just seems to grow outwards and won't lie down. I think the texture is different than before it went fully grey. So best not to fight it and go with what works, a nicely textured short cut. At least it's still showing no signs of post-menopause thinning.
I used to have a pixie cut, but I grew it out as I never seemed to be able to keep on top of it when I started my current job. I'll probably go back to it at some point because I hate my hair in my face. 🤣
@GoodCheerPixie It's definitely way more practical! Especially when at least three times a week I've got to dry and style it at the pool, rather than at home. When it's short like now I barely even need a brush or comb!
🛳️🛢️ Russia’s oil exports edged higher for a second week, with almost half of the tankers sanctioned in previous years now back hauling Russian barrels, - Bloomberg
Crude flows from all Russian ports in the four weeks to April 27 rose to 3.26 million barrels a day, up by 1% from the previous week.
At least 18 of the 39 ships blacklisted by the US in 2023 and 2024 are now regularly hauling barrels from Russia’s ports, having previously been idle since they were sanctioned.
Special relationship? I don’t think so taxresearch.org.uk/Blog/2025/0… For all the crap Starmer talks about 'special relationships' when it comes to the USA, we're at the back of the queue for a trade deal. It really is time the UK stopped deluding itself and developed an objective foreign policy based on our toxic relationship with Trump.
As The Guardian reports this morning:
Donald Trump has made a trade deal with the UK a second-order priority, sources have told the Guardian, hampering British attempts to meet their mid-May deadline.
Recent media reports suggesting that the United States was actively considering closing its embassy in Malta (a claim since denied by the US Embassy) raised
Political beings around the nation are eagerly licking their lips, it can be confirmed today.
The cause of salivation comes as the likes of the West and South get prepared to watch what deranged shit Queensland is going to offer up on Saturday.
Famous for delivering curveballs on election day, many commentators around the country have mused about what might unfold this weekend.
With our great state coming off the back of a Greenslide and hosting a swathe of yellow, orange and grey candidates once again this time around, those who care are looking on with bated breath.
“Are we going to see a blue wipe out? A red wall collapse? Some former professional athlete surge home only to say some cooked shit on election night,” asked one tired political commentator who spoke to us under the condition of anonymity, and desperately needs this campaign to end.
“Are they going to banish all of the Greens after making the famously stereotyped Redneck state the home of the Independent party?”
“Will Clive wreak havoc and see the sitting Opposition Leader booted from his seat?”
“Who fucking knows.”
“And that’s the beauty of Queensland.”
“All the southern elites think they can underestimate the great north, and time and time again they get it wrong.”
“It’s something to do with it being the only state where more people live outside the capital city than it.”
“But you can never put the finger on what a Queenslander might do.”
“So, just sit back and enjoy what happens in the coming days.”
There's one thing I quite like about BSky and that's how they enable use of domains as part of the username without actually having a "server" behind the domain.
Is there some clever way to achieve the same thing on Mastodon? Like I have a few domains I wouldn't mind having activiated here on the Fediverse using AP.
Or is it one domain per username, and that's that?
I'm pretty sure you can publish something under something.example/.well-known/… something-something to set up an alias of @user@something.example pointing to an actual Fediverse account.
I'm in mastodon.world server but it can be hard to remember. So you can now find me as @hamatti@hamatti.org as well! I share the secret to that in this post.

europesays.com/2038078/ Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan have joined Azerbaijan in toughening their stance on Russian “soft power” entities. A Russian House employee in Osh was detained for recruiting men to fight for Russia in Ukraine, while Sputnik Kazakhstan is under investigation over a pro-Russian war report. #Ukraine #UkraineConflict #Ukrainian #UkrainianConflict
⚡️ Europe struggles to even commit 25,000 troops for a potential peacekeeping mission in Ukraine. With armies undermanned and underfunded, a 64,000-strong force remains unrealistic. Focus now shifts to training, air/sea support, and rearming Ukraine.
It’s unfair to expect anything better, because this danger was only realised yesterday. It would have been great to have had a few years of warning, or even a decade… /s
that’s only because of Trump. We now have to plan with the US actively supporting Russia and not delivering spares and ammunition for our US-made weapons. Also, US will not be able to scale up weapons production while fighting a trade war with its allies.
BELGRADE, Serbia (AP) — The European Union's enlargement commissioner on Tuesday urged Serbia's new government to push forward democratic reforms needed for
🇪🇺🇬🇧🇺🇦 Europe is finding it very difficult to raise 25,000 troops to participate in the deterrent force in Ukraine, because its armies are still understaffed, — The Times.
The UK has offered to provide up to 10,000 troops and asked partners to create a 64,000-strong contingent, in response, most states have recognized this as unrealistic — even 25,000 soldiers are considered a difficult achievable figure.
I dreamed I was reversing a set-top-box OS from Japan and it turned out it's gui system had three copy buffers: 1. Selection buffer 2. Clipboard 3. The radish
this reminds me of how I had a dream once where a friend of mine somehow had this funky Neoplan articulated transit bus she drove and called it the moose and one of the very central parts of this dream was that she could sneak up on people with it somehow and shout out the window "MOOSE ATTACK!" to surprise them and drive off
Russia's seaborne oil exports rise for the 2nd week, hitting 3.26M bpd (+1%). Key factor: 18 previously sanctioned tankers return. Weekly exports now at 23.72M barrels, with $1.33B in revenue. Asia dominates demand, while unclear destinations suggest possible rerouting.
And we thought CO₂ emissions from shipping were hard to abate. 🙃
“The number of containers scheduled to arrive at the Port of Los Angeles is anticipated to drop more than 35 percent next week compared with the same period last year…”
Large importers, including retailers and manufacturers, paused imports from China this month amid an escalating trade war. Ports are now poised to feel the fallout.
Algorave used to get a lot of press coverage around 2017/2018, does anyone have any insight as to how that came about or why it stopped? Or did it stop?
I think we're due another wired article this year .. More seriously I'm struggling to remember how any of these articles came about.. There was a definite flurry in 2017, I did 14 interviews that year but then only one mention (in CDM) in 2018. Maybe all the journalists got together and decided we weren't the future of electronic music any more? slab.org/interviews-etc/
a similar decline in media interest in my mechanical techno project, but I'd assumed that was cos I'm less active with gigs and releases. I do have a feeling it doesn't have the same kind of traction/interest any more.
