I’m here on Threads and Mastodon

You’ll get random things from me - mostly Wordle and Fred the cat - and while I love politics my current role demands I am sensible and I can’t post about politics including ongoing conflicts

This is the kind of headline we should be seeing here, but the GOP are making excuses & trying to find a way to “spin” the fact that the person squatting in the Oval Office was accused of auctioning off GIRLS to the highest bidder. Interesting that the anti-pedo MAGA CHUDS are quiet right now.

A manual for ICE's immigrant-targeting computer system, Palantir ELITE, was leaked today.

Let's look at it, then step back to evaluate how far we've come along a dangerous road and where that road might take us. 🧵
Here is the User Guide for ELITE, the Tool Palantir Made for ICE
404 Media is publishing a version of the user guide for ELITE, which lets ICE bring up dossiers on individual people and provides a “confidence score” of their address.

Fred update: I have howled at various points in time this morning - from about 6am

I am having an existential crisis

What is cat?
Why is Fred?
How is bowl of food half eaten?
Why does human not respond?

Exhausted human ponders existentialism and why does my lovely chummer torture me today?

I think I might take one of these "under 20 minutes" AI skills courses the UK Govt. seems very keen on everyone doing and live-post it here... Maybe we can all learn something together! The press release sends me to aiskillshub.org.uk/aiskillsboost/ - let's go and see!

The first time Charlie Chaplin spoke onscreen, he implored the people of the world to resist the rising tide of fascism.

Nearly 90 years later, it remains a timely message.

If you're not familiar with just how unhinged the "Gender Critical" movement is, this thousand strong class action thing might just seem like a random ass-pull, but what it is is that they believe there's going to be some moment where all trans people will just suddenly stop being trans all at once.

Artic - here be bears and there are no penguins

Who are the cool, up-and-coming early career trans women and transfem non-binary people doing scholarship in women's and gender studies - particularly outside North America?

I'd love to hear about their work!

Send love to Fred - my brave chummer is currently cleaning up all the lube all over him - he needed a bit of help today and it was enema time …

He’s currently embarrassed and trying to clean up and regain some dignity

Trying to decide if we both get some fish and chips as rewards

Today my mad head-cold (walked 6.5 miles in the damp yesterday) is being made 1000x more camp

It will go - simply sneezing and sniffing my way through the day

Did this cold get worse with the walking - hell yes! Should I know better at 56? Possibly! Will I do things like this again? Most likely!

I want to love myself as much as this chummer loves me

Fred love for the win and the best help he’s got for the CPTSD exhaustion and sense of zero self worth today

His idyll is to curl up asleep besides me

Still here - still gorgeous - now 80% liver…

Just ate ham slices as a treat - now sleeping

New/Growing scourge for independant artists - Spotify allows other people to upload songs and link them to your name/account.

Used by AI bros to steal artists clout or by trolls.

Stop supporting Spotify

Happy New Year from me and Fred

This wee chummer epitomises Hope - he’s made it through a whole year - and he’s currently thriving - with an appetite for food (and scritches) and love for being here

Remember Hope is not fragile like a flower - Hope is fragile like an unexploded ordnance …

If I bought something from you - please don’t ask for a review

It was a calendar - it’s going on my wall to help me understand time

It was BLADES FOR A PENCIL SHARPENER - if anything does not need a review it is these!!!

It was my regular ibruprophen order - I take it to stop pain - review???
