Something nice happened to me yesterday: the conclusion - or maybe not - of a story of interconnectedness, that made the world feel momentarily very small and intertwined.
The story begins on April 21 2024 on a walk I'd taken along the Jurassic Coast for research for a book I was writing.

AI is bad, the work of bad people, who hate you, normalised with bad intent.
You wouldn’t say “I wrote to the Daily Mail”
I wish people had more shame.

The great thing about veggie sushi is you can buy it yellow stickered from Lidl and eat it the next day without qualm.

the tech industry was all about making computers better, smaller, and more connected. and they more or less finished that the last decade. they did a good job at it. and since then there's been this weird midlife crisis vibe from the industry that finished its purpose.

Jesse Hamm had the take to end all takes on children's media. "People who disdain writing ‘just for children’ fail to realize that those children will remember what they read, maybe for the rest of their lives. You’re not writing for permanent children; you’re getting an early start on adults.”

The NHS just did a big independent review that concluded that ADHD is still significantly under diagnosed and under supported.
But that's not the answer he wanted.
So he's ordering a new conclusion.

Surely ‘tackling a rising demand for services’ means ‘denying people with ADHD the right to diagnosis and appropriate care’ which: do you want the number of folk on benefits/out of work to drop? Then you need: diagnosis and appropriate care!
Wow, feels like this government won't rest until everyone in Britain is a neurotypical middle manager who delegates every thought to ChatGPT.

Cruelty is anhedonic. It rarely delivers the euphoria promised because, in the abstract, what feels righteous and joyful inevitably reveals itself to be sordid and small. Then it's "No not like that". "No not enough". "No the real battle, the forever war to make this feel good starts now". Forever.
Note how these awful people are getting exactly the exclusions of children that they demanded and *that still isn’t enough for them*: they demand everyone be delighted about it and kiss their arses for being brilliant.
