All the afternoon with my carpenters, making them lay all my boards but one in my dining room this day, which I am confident they would have made two good days work of if I had not been there, and it will be very pleasant.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

"Stay signed in?" Outlook in Browser asks me, seductively.

"Yes." I reply.

We both know it's a lie, but perhaps one day it will be true. The dream remains.

In the UK, we have a government who will complain about peaceful protests taking up valuable police resources while simultaneously complaining that the police shouldn't ban far right football hooligans with a history of violence and disruption from attending a match.

This Israeli government decision to host Tommy Robinson will widen the growing gulf between the Netanyahu government and the British public, including the broad majority of Jews in Britain (3/4 of whom dsapproved of Netanyahu, before this new link to this anti-Muslim racist UK far right convict).

because stuff always works like this when you're a one-man band, obviously it's only now that Alien:Earth is finished I'm finally getting chance to remake the moulds for our Xeno:Morph kit. He's back in the shop as a pre-order, anyway!

I worked through some more thoughts about mixing AI and nuclear weapons, an interview I wasn't able to use somewhere else, and what it's like to stare at the Chicago skyline while @armscontrolwonk.bsky.social tells you all the pieces that would be ash if anyone dropped a nuke on it
Which Way to Armageddon?

Yes, yes you are. Stop cosplaying "legitimate concerns". When you join a far right rally, organised by well known far right leader Tommy Robinson, with a host of speakers who outright say they are far right, you are a racist. No ifs, buts or maybes. There are no excuses for being there.
