Another Trek legend gone 😥 If there's one thing you could say about Sir Patrick Stewart, he put the work in right up until the end. Gods bless you sir, we thank you for your efforts. bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq23dve8…
In his honour, I will now be watching ST:NG - Inner Light imdb.com/title/tt0708803/
Looks like I've been slapped with another Shadow Ban 😔 No email warning, no notification. I can only guess the Elongated Musket is short of cash and wants me to buy a Blue Tick. So if you're wondering why I'm not liking and replying to all your excellent tweets, now you know.
"Fiery but mostly peaceful protests..." ffs BBC News, you're doing the Bart Simpson "say the line" thing 😂 bbc.co.uk/news/live/cq1j38x0…
Wouldn't it be cool if we visit the Red Planet to pack these in the supplies and don't tell the astronauts 😆
Debanking has done for the Canary. Regardless of your political leanings, shutting down independent journalism is not a good look for the UK. pressgazette.co.uk/news/the-…
I am old. I used to "smoke copious amounts of weed" but now my Friday night is a nice bottle of Merlot, a quality set of studio headphones, and good music... youtube.com/watch?v=MqRoSjzz…

Tommy went to wizard school. I asked, "That's cool, what kind of magic did you learn?"

There is a striking limitation with AI: it's us 😔
We communicate slower than a 300 baud acoustic modem whereas AI processes prompts at 115200 to ISDN speeds.
Imagine having your inner monologue conversing with a local LLM embedded in your cranium, which is in turn connected to the Internet. Those with no inner monologue would end up as an underclass in future society 🤔
“It’s a metaphor of human bloody existence, a dragon. And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s also a bloody great hot flying thing.” - Terry Pratchett (Guards! Guards!)
"We are ignorant of the meaning of the dragon in the same way that we are ignorant of the meaning of the universe; but there is something in the dragon’s image that fits man’s imagination, and this accounts for the dragon’s appearance in different places and periods."
Jorge Luis Borges, The Book of Imaginary Beings
I can't say I'm really surprised but Farage is going to be insufferable for months🙁 bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cv1j…
Released?! If you need me, I'll be in my shed crocheting hats from Bacofoil... theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…
Look, I know it's a lot of reading but it really does sum up a lot of what is going wrong with the world.
Somtimes, we scroll past crisis after crisis. Not because we don't care, but because fully taking it in would overwhelm us.
Trauma → dissociation → unprocessed moral injury → more trauma.
