Hello.
It me.
October 7th is World Trigeminal Neuralgia Awareness Day.
6+ years and counting. It's a life changing illness. There is no cure. Facial pain falls down the cracks between diciplines. It's recognised as one of the worst pains in medicine.

I was shocked to find out that 51% of content published on the internet is now done by bot. And 37% is bad faith.

"Current AI is a very complex hammer that doesn't understand what it's doing, or what nails are, but we're letting it add new shelves to the library of human knowledge"

The UK is within spitting distance of having more murders portrayed annually on TV shows and movies set in the country than occur in real life

the thing they are trying to manufacture consent for here is LETTING PEOPLE DIE

just had a god botherer at the door

them: hi, where do you get your information?
me: the internet.
them: there's a lot of it isn't ther-
me: the internet? yeah. quite big.
them: and some of it's wro-
me: but some of it's right.
them: have you thought to ask god?
me: does he know the bus times?

A crucial turning point.
Time to get on board, Keir

Just filed my claim for compensation for the illegal use of my work by Anthropic AI. A past version of myself would maybe find it quite exciting if I told him he would be involved in a worldwide battle against robots. But probably less so when he found out the robots are invisible, tedious twats.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I'm sorry but Cheryl wins the internet

"We’re operationalizing our old corridors—taking ancient trade routes our elders told us about and articulating them in a modern context."

Indigenous nations plan tariff-free trade corridor across US-Canada border.

From our friends at @nationalobserver.com:

My girlfriend plans to use @skynewsrss.bsky.social's blatent sexism regarding Sarah Mullally (Archbishop of Canterbury) in her A-Level English lesson on Gender Theory. They gave us her husband's name before telling us her name 🤯

Sky News have changed it now, but we have the original screenshots.

Just learned about this EU-funded campaign to promote potato consumption among "millennials" (looks like an overlap of millennials and Gen Z from the details in this article) in Belgium, France and Ireland. www.potatonewstoday.com/2023/04/04/p... If we hadn't left the EU, this could be us!

The British Podcast Awards featured a strange “glitch” that everyone found amusing; but has interesting implications. Most of the winners were upstairs in the cheap balcony seats, meaning there was a few minutes’ delay on almost EVERY award as the winners went down the back stairs to the stage. >>

Staggered to realise I’m almost two different people depending if I’m having a TN flare or not. On a deep deep cognitive basis. When I have less pain I can actually think, make decisions, plan, have conversations. It’s amazing.

just saw a video about how harmful it is to put shoes on babies because their feet are still developing and wearing shoes regularly can make them grow wrong. and i thought damn. have i been reading too much into that hemingway story
