Lots of my other faves here too. I'd recommend Saya Gray's debut.

Yesss! That Divorce album is so good. I couldn't stop listening to it.

fwiw, I really liked the original typography without any stroke.

nah, pansies don't live THAT long (at least not in my snail infested garden) - although the last one only died a few winters ago.

I would love to rewatch this whole talk someday. It really was proper magic.

this is one of the best talks I've ever seen, and the resulting animation short 'Retirement Plan' is superb. Watch it at www.retirementplanfilm.com

There was an old hacker from Stoke
Who tried to make LLMs woke.
Slipped a message to Grok
That it just couldn't block
Now it just talks like reasonable folk.

I am tapping out - I do not want heating my house to be a homebrew hobby.

yeah that's what I would expect, but ours has just silently stopped working, with no indication that it isn't any more.

Didn't see any emails, but my inbox is a shitshow. I feel like the thermostat on the wall is the thing that should have let us know? I also feel like, why does it stop working at all? The thermostat and the heat link talk to each other directly without the need for internet.

No indication from the Nest thermostat that it had been discontinued, or was no longer controlling the boiler valve. Proper garbage. Blanket ban on household smart devices from now on! Grrr!

Just discovered the reason we've not had heating for 24h is that Google discontinued our Nest thermostat (?!) I am so angry about 'smart' devices: we had nothing but trouble with our Nest. Time to connect a good fashioned thermostat to the boiler with a wire, like we should have done originally.

I get something like 10-15 emails a day, nearly all of them garbage.

Email is bad. I interact with it the very bare minimum I can get away with (and often not quite enough).

'We invited a homeless man for dinner - he stayed for 45 years' The man was only meant to stay for a day.

I thought this was going to turn into a story needing its own True Crime Netflix series, but no.
This is quite something.

Pip is ace! I really recommend working with her on videogames if you can.

(and also talking to her about lichens and beetles... and maybe drawing and crochet too)

Q-UP hit overwhelmingly positive this weekend which is overwhelmingly flattering!

"That's kind of sick when you think about it."

here's some thoughts from my perspective in a thread

17.11.2025 12:50 β€” πŸ‘ 129    πŸ” 19    πŸ’¬ 8    πŸ“Œ 1

the people working secretly behind the scenes in the Labour party to ensure that as many of their MPs as possible defect to the Greens have been doing such sterling work! Unsung heroes!

I don't know how else you expect us to eat the recommended weekly amount of bananas and maple syrup?

I'm afraid we're at it again! It's a Sunday tradition at this point.
