3 hours and 20 minutes sleep, coz it was 34 degrees in my room last night (with 5 fans running). Today's 9 hour shift is gonna be fun! πŸ˜‚

So yeah... anyone who says online dating doesn't work... I beg to differ. I have a new girlfriend. Her name is Alison, and she utterly blows my mind 😁πŸ₯°

The death of truth in the mainstream media means I have literally no idea who's coming off worse in the current wars that are going on. I just don't trust anything I see/hear/read any more. It's sad, and worrying.

AI narration of YouTube videos just hit an all time low. 'Telephone Aviv'. Laughable 🀣

I watched some video a while back that said Disney sat on Ironheart for ages because it was bad. I'm about to start episode 3, and so far, it's actually pretty good.

Bought a new gaming laptop purely to play Cyberpunk in VR. I must be mad, but what the heck. Biggest nightmare was just getting the laptop to do first update. So, Cyberpunk installed. VR Mod installed. And I just spent 3 hours just hanging out in the bar in the opening scene🀣

The thing with AI that I can't shake is that it seems like they expected it to start improving by itself by now. That it would just automatically learn how to learn, and improve unaided. Like holding onto a kid learning to ride a bike, then letting go. Instead they got AI like this:

What is it with Australian bands with weird names being brilliant? Finally got my head around how good 'King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard' are, and then discover 'Tropical Fuck Storm' 🀣

Capt America: Brave New World.... one of the *very* short list of Marvel films I didn't really enjoy. Angry, political/military nonsense with a bunch of characters I don't care about. Sam is cool, but to me, he's Falcon, not Cap. Meh!

Okay... the antelope burgers... nice! Not amazing, but definitely nice. Quite a subtle flavour. I was expecting something like venison, but they're much milder than that.

I've been in the funky/weird meats section of Morrisons again. Usually I have either venison or ostrich, but tonight, I'm having antelope burgers πŸ˜πŸ˜‹

I may not have got into Andor season 1 properly because I didn't get to hear half of it. Watching season 2... alone... and it is *so* good. Really powerful and emotional. I watch less TV these days, but what I watch, I appreciate more.

I'm never sure if I like Andor as a show, but the retro futurist tech in the offices... I love it 😁

The YouTube algorithm is fascinating (scary?). I had a date last week that didn't go great. Without searching for anything on the subject at all, YouTube served me up a mass of videos that explained exactly why what happened... happened. Limbic resonance. Never heard of it πŸ˜†

Home from the dentist. Didn't wake up today expecting to have a root canal, first thing in the morning, but that's what happened. I hope it did the trick, coz there hasn't been a day since December when I haven't been in pain. 😬🀞

The Green Party don’t get as much media coverage as Reform because the continuation of civilised human life on the planet isn’t as interesting as cunts.

Car sailed through its MOT. Very pleasing, and one less thing to worry about. Couple of other things to sort out, and then might just think about booking some time off work. Not sure I'll go anywhere. Holidays alone have little appeal, and I'm rather off dating for the moment.

It's the PS5 version. I've got that many versions, it's ridiculous. PS3, PS4, PS4 VR, PS5, PC VR and Switch (emulated on Odin 2). I think I've started Skyrim more than any other game, though only ever finished it once πŸ˜†

So while everyone else is playing Oblivion Remaster, what am I playing? Skyrim... again (while I wait for Oblivion to download) πŸ˜†

... and then I find out that the woman I've been chatting with on a dating site for the past few days is not only a neighbour, but that I can see into her garden from my window 🀯

It looks as though Trump saw us shoot ourselves in the foot with Brexit and thought "We should do that, but with a much bigger gun and in both feet"

King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard boggle my brains. Watching one of their many live concerts on Youtube... I get totally into the groove of their neo-psychedelic rock, or whatever it is, and then they charge into a load of thrash metal tunes. I just wind up laughing πŸ˜†

I updated my profile on the dating sites recently, and tonight, I'm inundated with messages from stupid people. I mean, the attention is nice, but... no 🀣
