I’m currently fasting. My plan is to fast Monday to Wednesday every week. Literally, no food at all. I’ve done one day, and feel fine. I like not having to think about food.

Just watched Weapons. Imagine a modern day Grimm’s Fairy Tale, and Benny Hill. I liked it!

I subscribed to the BFI Player thinking it would be a wealth of amazing cinema, but it has a very limited selection. Disappointing. #bfi

Vibe coding is like letting AI write you a novel and then going on your holidays, relaxing by the pool with a nice glass of sangria, and reading your new AI generated novel with great enthusiasm, whilst trying desperately to ignore that it’s probably the worst novel you’ve ever read.

I think the US (with Putin) is trying to install their own leader in Ukraine. They keep talking about wanting a leader who wants peace. They bully and intimidate Zelensky. They want a puppet.

Lee Probert @leeprobert.bsky.social · Feb 28

Zelensky had no chance. It was a lose, lose situation. Trump & Putin will carve up the Ukraine between them. Strip it for its resources and then move on deeper into Europe. Ukraine is lost unless the UK and EU grow some balls.

Lee Probert @leeprobert.bsky.social · Feb 28

The only disrespectful people in that room are Trump and Vance.
