Do I have 500 things to do - yes. Am I spending the afternoon watching the eras tour movie, using my friendship bracelet materials to make an β€œugly” Christmas jumper for our office party …. Also yes.

Were I a LinkedInfluencer, I'd post about what moving apartments abroad, largely on my own, when the lift in my current building has been out of action for 3 weeks and I don't drive, has taught me about resilience and self-reliance ... but if I ever become that person, I'll put myself in the sea.

Every now and then something comes along to remind me why I’m an academic and not something more dynamic. This time it is counting the number of injuries I have incurred whilst packing to move flat …. typing is apparently the only safe physical activity for me.

US service digitisation is utter chaos. The first flat I rented required an e-signed lease, but a security deposit paid by cheque (never written one in the UK - ever). Moving on Monday and I paid the deposit online, but had to print and hand in the lease IRL. Consistency? Never met her.

When the next 3 months look slightly overwhelming in terms of volume of work, wearing sartorial reminders of what really matters becomes necessary.

Not from our end ... we have an entire set of requirements that are exclusively about data quality.

We can't add anyone to the team because the contract was awarded based on our current set-up, but please do get in touch if you'd like to submit some evidence or be in an interview etc.

The gym in my building is currently closed. Fortunately the lift is also broken and I live in the 14th floor whilst the laundry room is 3 floors into the basement. So some 6 trips up/down 17 flights of stairs later & I’ve got clean clothes whilst getting a workout in.

Nothing like the pilot saying β€œobviously it’s very lovely here, but I hope you have your umbrellas and raincoats ready for when we land” for confirming you’re on the flight home πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§

Pinky: So Brain, what did you get up to today?

Brain: Well Pinky, I tried to take over the world, but then I got hyperfixated on how to use structural equation modelling for system design for 15 straight hours, forgot to eat, and collapsed exhausted at midnight.

Pinky: same again tomorrow?

Running dangerously low on Yorkshire Tea. Active rationing is occurring. Fortunately, a reconnaissance mission to England is planned for next week. Otherwise: digital ethics, analogue anarchy.

Turns out that you can, in fact, first do things bigger in life than dating the boy on the football team AND then marry the man on the pro football team

U.S. tech stocksΒ slideΒ after Altman warns of AI bubble and MIT study casts doubt on the hype Investors’ long-running enthusiasm for artificial intelligence showed signs of faltering on Tuesday as tech stocks tumbled.

Sam Altman keeps saying the quiet part out loud - valuations are too high, there's no biz model w/copyright, there's not enough electricity, LLMs aren't the path to AGI - yet govts and AI cheerleaders seemingly bend over backwards to ignore that fortune.com/2025/08/20/u...

Do I need to spend all day working on fellowship applications? Yes.

Will that be made infinitely harder by the fact that I have Swiftlag from staying up all night for #TS12 announcements? Also yes. ❀️‍πŸ”₯❀️‍πŸ”₯

The relief of finally finishing a paper that has been stuck in my brain, like a very annoying thorn in my side/ stone in my shoe, for MONTHS really knows no bounds. Time for some fiction and Ice Cream.

Handwritten school essay titled "My Hopes for the Future," expressing ambitions to work hard, get good GCSEs, and become well-paid in the theatre.

Back home in England and found these gems in the primary school archive. Turns out there’s not much difference between 9/10-year-old me and nowβ€”except the only theatre I ended up in is a lecture theatre.
