Routine patrol notes: Report of "disturbing" object, wall of number 115. Caller claimed to hear "wailing" noise. I asked if noise came from house. Caller said no, from inside box, then hung up.

Racist, homophobic, misogynistic, transphobic views aren't 'controversial'. I thought we had got to a stage where we agreed these things were backwards and vile. The sooner we start calling bigots by their name the better

Harlequin Butterfly by Toh Enjoe: Beautiful little kaleidoscope of a book, exploring the fundamental nature of creativity, language, identity and memory through the pursuit of an elusive author. Reminiscent of Borges and Calvino at their most philosophically imaginative. #booksky #justread

Pointless AI in previously decent app transforms your computer into a sad noisy brick..
Many Linux users have recently reported their fans running at full speed and high temperatures. They discovered that Firefox was consuming all CPU cores, and it turns out that the cause was Firefox's new default AI features. This is how you ruin your product 😅 www.theregister.com/2025/08/13/f...
Some users report Firefox scoffing CPU power
: You guessed it: looks like it's a so-called AI

Death of a Bookseller by Bernard J Farmer: you may expect a novel about the London book trade, written and set in the 1950s, to be cosy & charming but this 100th BL Crime Classic depicts a seedy, ruthless trade with a surprising occult element. Very readable! CW: 1950s attitudes.. #justread #booksky
