Working on a theory that the jewel thieves were able to blend effortlessly into the crowds because their stripey burglar jumpers were, with the simple addition of a string of onions, flawless Frenchman disguises.

1 Nurse: It’s become a real problem in this area 2 Nurse: We’ve seen the whole community lost to addiction 3 Show a building sign posted: Westminster ‘X’ Addiction Clinic With various Westminster people or looking at their phones outside it Nurse: Ministers, Spads, Researchers… 4 Nurse: Most mornings we’ll get a call about someone acting strangely [Nurse on phone taking a call] Ok - we’ll be right over 5 Nurse: We just have a gentle chat [Nurses approach a minister –Robert Jenrick? - standing in the Palace of Westminster Minister: I understand your concerns… 6 Nurse: Are you OK love? Minister: Yes I’m just hearing legitimate concerns from real voters 7 Nurse: That’s a robot, a Nazi and a poorly-disguised Russian [Show that the people he is talking to are precisely these characters] Nurse 2: Give us your phone, love 8 Nurse: At the clinic we put them in a Grass-Touching Pod, with a real voter to talk to [We see them back at the clinic, holding the minister's head and pushing him into a glass isolation booth with a grass floor. And it is a baffled looking woman, on a chair, ready to talk to him.] 9 Minister: YOU MUST BE WORRIED ABOUT THE COMING CIVIL WAR [woman looks baffled] 10 woman: I just want a bus service Minister: LOOK AT MY FLAG [produces a St George's flag] [ends]

Potato sounds lovely and soothing. My mum used to make us (lightly, not very oily) fried egg and mashed potatoes when we were poorly. I’ve got mash and carrots and gammon for dinner, followed by pear and dark chocolate crumble.

God, yes! Instagram keeps serving me up very American cooking videos and it’s all adding insane amounts of spice so you can’t taste the original thing at all any more. I love it, but not everything needs smoked paprika.

Every video you make with Sora 2 costs OpenAI $5. This year they’ve spent the best part of a Trillion Dollars (one thousand billion) and brought in $12bn revenue. For them to be able to *break even* they’d need to increase the cost of every monthly subscription 10 times. They are so fucked.

This was a free session and my local museum and the instructor we had was great. If your kit’s on aida you should be fine - when the course ran last year one of my friends had to do it on evenweave linen and said that was a struggle!

If you taped them to A4 you could always scan them into a computer and trace round them in software like Inkscape to get permanent digital copies!

Went to the top of the class in Embroidery School, lads. This may not look impressive but a) the back is identical and b) it’s about twice as much stitching as everyone else managed, please ignore the fact that the rotated bottom repeat is too long and I’m going to have to unpick it when I get home

let me note that one of the actual tests here is going to be 'what do people pushing these ideas want for their own children' and I will bet you a lot of money that the answer is 'the elite university model of Harvard et al' not 'learning through AI slop'

Wow. Just wow.

Akinator, the mind reading genie
Akinator can read your mind and tell you what character you are thinking of, as if by magic. Think of a real or fictional character, answer few questions, and Akinator will try to guess who it is. Wil...

Tolkein continues to resonate. The new bank being set up by Palmer Luckey and backed by Peter Thiel is named Erebor after the “lonely mountain” in The Hobbit. This was also an interesting line in this rpt on the new bank by @tabbykinder.bsky.social www.ft.com/content/202d...

Celia Imrie came to an event at work and asked if we would mind also accommodating her friend Don. I was expecting a 60-year-old real estate guy in a grey suit, then she arrived with Don Cheadle
