Remembering how Rumsfeld was mocked for the known unknowns speech and actually that was pretty thought through.

On the work chat someone has said that their word of the week is 100 and I’m fighting the urge to be pedantic.

My Apple Music just played a song it says I last played on 1 March 2013. Damn I listened to that song obsessively back in the day.

Fare dodgers targeted as train ticket refund rules are tightened In a bid to clamp down on ticket fraud that costs the railways millions each year, the government has quietly changed the rules on claiming refunds for unused train tickets.

DON'T BUY TRAIN TICKETS IN ADVANCE!
On 1 April, the government is quietly changing the rules.
Off-Peak & Anytime tickets become non-refundable after 23:59 the day BEFORE you travel.
If you wake up & find your event cancelled, NO REFUNDS, even on £100+ tickets.

Text of poem - Pact.  This is my child; that is yours. Let peace be between them when they grow up. They are far off now; let it not be through war they are brought near. Their languages are different. Let them both learn it is peace in the hand is the translation of peace in the mind.

Pact - RS Thomas

Good grief Barclaycard, who decided that I want to see an analysis of categories of spending instead of a simple transaction list. Really great way to make it more difficult to keep track.

OpenAI posted the terms of the deal. Reveals that it absolutely does allow for domestic surveillance. EO 12333 is how the NSA hides its domestic surveillance by capturing communications by tapping into lines *outside the US* even if it contains info from/on US persons.

My dad in Montreal currently has a whole hour more daylight than me. I think March is the month I overtake him.

Not only that but those meetings were the most likely to be cancelled at the last minute.

My robot vacuum keeps leaving the room and coming back a few minutes later like it can’t let go of an argument.

Butter yellow crocuses are blooming in the foreground while in the background a bunch of daffodils have all opened in the sunshine. A cat can just be seen inspecting the daffodils.

The sun came out and the flowers are happy. As is the #ProofOfCat

We’ve just passed three years of ownership and I still skip at the thought of no longer dealing with landlords, letting agents, and the annual eviction notice.

It won't come as a surprise to most in UK higher ed that redundancies at research-intensive universities have gone up

But it's stark to see that they practically *doubled* between 2023 and 2025

(figures are from FOI responses from 24 members of either the Russell Group and ResearchPlus)

Official Team GB Paralympic photo, with the the crests and everything, and a professional headshot, but it's for "Pickle, A Very Good Girl", who is a black labrador, with a hi-viz harness and a red collar.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

You be the judge is… interesting… given that so many judges rule against them.

On the one hand, people keep posting that vile tweet from the White House and it makes me mad each time I see it. On the other hand it’s always to say how vile it is so I take solidarity from that.

Shame Canada couldn't win gold at hockey, but on the bright side, they've probably saved their nation from the imposition of 1000% punative tariffs on goods into the USA
