There is finally another Jeffcoate on Bluesky. I don't know them, and as far as I'm aware there's no direct relation. I was still the first, but when the third arrives then the prophecy will be complete! (",)

I have been lax in sharing my advent calendar goodies. Been a busy couple of days. (",) #adventcalendars

Today is a three Moam problem*.

*It's actually an entire bag of Moams problem but I'm choosing to see it as a series of three Moam problems in an attempt to seem like I know what I'm doing.**

** I don't.

Gotta love Welsh public transport. Because a train was delayed, my train will now be delayed by about 10 mins to let the first delayed train get ahead. This means I will miss two connecting trains and be about 45 minutes late to work. The joy! At least I am well decorated:

Continuing the annual tradition of re-reading The Hogfather a bit each day so that I finish it on Dec 25th.

Absolute comfort read. (",)

Today is a commuting day. Would have loved some chocolate to help me through but got a lovely little Xmas decoration instead. (",) #adventcalendar

The great thing about being an adult is that you get to define what being an adult means. For me it's two advent calendars. (",) #adventcalendar

Let it be known: I hate commuting and cannot wait to move to Cardiff next year. Anyway, here's today's badges. #badgeoftheday

The colder weather means digging the winter coat out of the cupboard. The winter coat means badges! #badgeoftheday

When you go to Auschwitz they have piles of jewellery and watches which were confiscated from those arriving.
The Sun has been told Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood will on Monday propose confiscating jewellery, watches, necklaces from asylum seekers to meet asylum costs

This reflects the most controversial aspect of the Danish scheme - the Jewellery Law. The toughest Labour MPs thought this was OTT

The AI bubble may be about to bust.

Peter Thiel has sold all of his Nvidia stock.

We all need to say this very clearly:

NO BAILOUTS FOR THEFT-TECH!

Expropriate their asses instead.

They stole from all of us and fully plan to burn the planet.

They owe us - not the other way around. 1/3

Got through the day thanks to my laptop headphones connecting to my phone.

Am on the train home: it's like the last chopper out of Saigon. Children crying, youths going to a Halloween party, someone is listening to music loudly, someone else is watching the news on their phone. #PrayforDai

I've just realised that I've left my headphones at home.

About to white knuckle a 12 hour day that involves 4 hours of commuting and seven and a half hours in an office. Pray for me. Pray for those around me.
