Something of a scientist, definitely a nerd and father.
I was dressed as Santa collecting money the Wakefield Hospice around our village last night in the latest episode of things my wife gets me roped into and:
1. You are never too old for a wave and a Merry Christmas from Santa
2. People with learning disabilities really love Santa, which is adorable

The Joshua Paul fight tonight is a completely nonsense but I say this now; if Joshua doesn’t knock him over it’s because he’s being paid not to knock him over in the terms of the purse.

I have actually managed to use co-pilot for two things at work this week which have worked OK. Extracting size information from a spreadsheet without uniform data and summarizing a Teams meeting. Not sure that justifies the immense amount of cash spent on it, but not totally useless.

Just read The Infinite and the Divine by @robertrath.bsky.social It a strange blend of a heist, a buddy narrative, taking place over millennia, as its protagonists are immortal robots. Very enjoyable and recommended.

Everything a great collab should be. Top performance from a legend, and the new kids bringing her right up to date (at the time anyway).

I don’t know what this picture is but the way it’s cropped makes it look like a guy standing next to a mecha/robot with a penis cannon. If that’s the Navy’s new strategy, I salute them.

I just came on Bluesky to make this exact point. Disappearing foam and magically topped up lagers all round. Great film though.
I do love Ice Cold In Alex but the continuity errors in the amount of foam of the lagers they've been waiting for the whole film is hilarious
