In That London. Tate Britain for Ithell Colquhoun exhibition, plus my first-time looks at Waterhouse’s _Lady of Shalott_ and (for Bristol interest) Henry Wallis’s _Chatterton_. Have also, to my chagrin, just experienced paying more than eight fecking quid for a pint of Brixton Atlantic.
Scylla, Ithell Colquhoun. Apparently inspired by the view of herself in the bath 🤣 John William Waterhouse’s The Lady of Shalott

I fear the AI slop ads in the Evening Post might be getting to the point where they could kill vulnerable people.
An advert in the Bristol Evening Post depicting a backwards AI-generated travesty of an open mains plug with no fuse, the ground wire connected to a terminal marked “L” and a person wrapping bare wire around the neutral wire. No live wire is present. The caption reads “Revealed: The Legal Trick Cutting UK Electricity Bills”

Oh, do piss off, Instagram. I shall continue to do what I’ve always done: see interesting thing. Attempt to take photo of interesting thing. Does it seem like some of my friends might like it? Maybe put it on Instagram. Not everyone’s a fecking influencer.

I'll be at the Museum of Freemasonry in London, who keep archives of stuff related to the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn and Stella Matutina. I have some local-historical interest plus some background-for-a-novel interest :)

Apparently I have somewhat over-ordered at the research library. They are suggesting that I halve my request list and double my session to an all-dayer. Oops.

"Look, the entire rest of Europe has this so why don't you put up with it too?" isn't necessarily a compelling argument in itself, since the same could be said about rabies.

this exists it is called thinking
Matthew McConaughey says he wants a private LLM, fed only with his books, notes, journals, and aspirations, so he can ask it questions and get answers based solely on that information, without any outside influence.
