I'm pretty quiet on this app at the moment. When I have social-media energy to spare I'm mostly spending it streaming my writing sessions on twitch. 😅

But know that I'm watching your posts like a sneaky hawk. Yes, you. Your posts.

I read this, I liked it. Maybe you should read it and you should like it, too.

Short and sinister-sweet.

It's been a rough week for me, but at least Civ7 arrived to soothe me through the worst bits. Is there anything more healing than abusing Deity AI? You can sail up rivers now...

Thanks Tru

Health for me is a house of cards, and some of the cards are currently on fire. Normal service (twitch, work, writing, walking, eating) will resume shortly. *dial tone*

That is a powerful toaster.

Salutations

Hi Connor, you're doing great. 🫡

I'm torn between being annoyed you have 70k words lying around, and giving you unwanted advice. 😂 I'll settle for suggesting you read it through a microphone, one chapter at a time, from your boudoir balcony. A crowd shall gather!

Prepare yourselves for the cutest unboxing ever

😂 this is amazing

Okay, I just committed a tbr violation and read it. Lovely, creepy fairytale vibes.

And I'm a big fan of this sort of thing:

Spotlight best light

Support the spotlight! My tbr moves sloooow, so all I can say right now is I love the cover, the author's great, and I'm looking forward to reading it. 😂 But these are valid reasons. Look at it! Look.

Just 77p, I might add.

Why no toaster pictures, Quen? 🤔 4 slot? 8 slot?! We need details.

Amazing how quickly the health karma fairy struck after my mildly celebratory post yesterday. Just about almost feeling better now, and the weekend is *checks notes* pretty much over. Fucking fuck.

Ah well. Onwards, and with more careful carb intake.

I cannot overstate how weird it is that after 3+ years of a worsening health condition, I get days when I feel 'normal'. By contrast I feel dangerously powerful, capable of world conquest.

Start of my villain arc?

Offline writing session this morning. Private! Camera off. Big old offline writing session - productive, offline, no distractions, no twitch, no... wait I'm just procrastinating through a different social media platform

Well, could be worse.

RIP, Wayne June. I've been playing DD2, and it struck me again how amazing your performances are. Everyone stopping by the stream was struck by the art of the game, and your insanely talented narration was right at the core of that.

o7 rest easy.

This seemed somewhat apparent to me when it was described in a news article as getting halfway through a response before clamming up. Censorship gaffa taped on the output, likely reusing a lot of existing systems.

I mean I'd like to stream this evening, but sideways windows update is taking its sweet time.

Maybe I don't want another follower. Ever thought of that? Huh?

My day off streaming today! Partly because I broke my phone, and there's no way I'd wake at 5:30am without an alarm. Partly because I'm le tired.

I relate to thee, Wobble.

Excited to officially announce my new book Proof: The Uncertain Science of Certainty, out in March (UK) and May (US) and available now to pre-order: proof.kucharski.io

It digs into the ideas we can use to weigh evidence and converge on truth under pressure - and what happens when they fail... 1/
