Booked Land Rover service, rearranged my day & meetings, waited all morning for collection… only to call and learn they’re not coming.
I’m currently deciding on the next load of cars for our latest venture… it’s now NOT Land Rover.
Who does better fleet service than LR?
Life is good when you choose to let it be good. Feeling inspired this weekend by some great people and fantastic company.

🇺🇸 A Texas biotech company just hatched 26 live chicks from 3D-printed artificial eggs with no shells and no hens.
First time in history a complete bird embryo developed in a fully artificial system.
And that's just the warm-up.
Colossal Biosciences is using this same tech to bring back the South Island giant moa: a 12-foot-tall, 250 kg bird that went extinct 600 years ago.
No surrogate exists on Earth big enough to hatch one. So they built the technology to do it without one.
De-extinction just went from science fiction to a construction project.

The embryos were transferred from fertilized eggs laid by hens into 3D-printed artificial shells; the system replaces only the shell, not the initial embryo or its development. colossal.com/colossal-biosc… technologyreview.com/2026/05/19/113…
Punch is learning the ins and outs of the primate world from the bottom rung of the ladder to the top, and his next arc involves adopting technology, then using an AI agent to unite all primates against humanity. From cute to brute, he will have his day.

We made trading candle candles.
No real reason why, we just liked the idea of them existing.
Pretty good holiday gift honestly.

for those who haven't been following, this nepal story is fucking crazy:
- bunch of teens and early 20s kids plan start a social movement against the current regime on social issues and econmical inequalties
- government gets wind of it scaling and tries to geoblock social media
- people get more pissed off, start protesting
- government cant handle the protests, lift social media ban
- doesn't do anything, people just organize further
- burn down parliment building, pm's house. beats the shit out of the finance minister in the streets, kills the pm's wife.
- kids elect their own new PM on their discord server, ex-chief justice of the supreme court who was part of the 1990 revolution that ended the monarchy
- army head ackowldges the validity of the discord vote and is meeting the new interm PM to discuss elections for new leadership going foward

Claims that former Nepal PM Jhala Nath Khanal’s wife, Rabi Laxmi Chitrakar, has died are false. She is alive and undergoing treatment for severe burn injuries, confirmed by hospital officials and her husband.

JUST IN: 🇹🇭 Thailand has launched TouristDigiPay, a program that lets visitors convert crypto into Thai Baht for local spending.
Tourists can pay via QR code, merchants get Baht, not crypto.
KYC + spending limits apply.
Crypto is officially going mainstream in travel
The UK Online Safety Act has made working in media so much harder than it needs to be! So many sites are now blocked and requesting a ridiculous amount of info for me to download assets, see briefs or access files. What a stupid, overreaching piece of trash legislation.
28 Days Later was a masterpiece of filmmaking, and still holds up as special. 1 of my all time faves.
28 Weeks has a special place for me, I’m still in awe of the opening scene, the rest entertaining.
28 Years was hot trash. Awful story, visuals and not even remotely scary. Wtf?!
Hi @UpholdInc @AskUphold I submitted a complaint on the 21st of March, and followed up after no response on the 28th of March, and I'm still not getting a response. Can you please confirm this is being looked into? I'd appreciate an update ASAP, thanks.
