I put my socks over the end of my hairdryer and give them a quick blast when I'm getting dressed for dog walking in winter. Super toasty

How is Stephen Duffy not one of your headliners

Less than a month until winter solstice on 21 December, when days start growing longer again

Petition: Ban cheap renewable energy from being charged at the price of expensive gas Mandate energy providers to stop charging the same price as expensive gas for much cheaper renewable energy. We think they should pass any savings on to consumers, rather than keeping them as profit.

Decouple the price of renewable electricity from the cost of gas petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72... please sign and share!

I hear the Epstein Ballroom will be illuminated solely by gaslighting.

Eww

Thank you! (And I meant 'uninformed' not 'uniformed' but given our current times that may not be inaccurate...eeesh)

of the thinking process, without attributing a human-ness to the underlying tech. Can I borrow the term?

I really like this. I've been talking about the 'genericide of AI' recently where the uniformed majority ends up lumping everything under an inaccurate but sound-bitey term just due to not understanding the wider concepts. Cognitive automation feels like a good way to describe outsourcing some parts

omg! Are the sheep's names on the labels? Might have to learn to knit now.

Are the fash recruiting Amway/Herbalife-style? Sudden influx of long-lost (for good reason) old acquaintances popping up 'just to say hi'. Expecting a "Hey girly, have I got an opportunity for you! You buy the flags up front...." any moment now.
(Multi Level Moselyites..?)

Some people I'll tell my plans to, because the odd 'you go, girl!' is fuel for the journey. Some people I'll hesitate to tell my achievements to, because their immediate reaction is to piss on my chips. It no longer diminishes my pride in myself, but I do mourn the relationship we could have had.

I do love rum

If you’re waking up to yet another news programme on tv or radio that is over platforming REFORM with 4 MPs and not mentioning any other opposition party, you know what to do. Sign here and get anyone else you know to sign. Fair coverage now. Takes 30 seconds petition.parliament.uk/petitions/71...

Ugh. A big part of what I do for a living is write bids and applications. Use of AI is being policed pretty heavily in those arenas but by 'AI spotter' software, not people. The stuff LLMs have literally been trained on is now going to be flagged as AI and get people's submissions disqualified. Ugh.

small victories still count

I see GPT5 has started reticulatimg splines 😆

I really and truly need people to understand that a chatbot does not and cannot know anything. Like, I need them to understand that in their bones. It is very good at looking like it knows something, but it does not and cannot know anything.

Mine is 'All hyphens, em-, en- and other dashes and punctuation are the authors own 😉'

Don't talk to me about 80/90s fashion revivals until we see the cool guys in giant multicoloured nan-knitted jumpers

I didn't even like getting married in front of 27 people I knew well, so yeah, blergh

Starmer barely keeping it together 😆

for now, I'll raise a glass of fizzy white wine to celebrate and enjoy it while it lasts 🥂

importantly, I've only been sick twice in the last 6 weeks, instead of every day. When you are so violently sick that you burst blood vessels across your skin, it's not fun. It's likely I won't be able to take these pills forever, the last similar type effed my system up in other ways, but [2/3]

I have new pills and for the first time in almost 10 years I can have *a little bit more* sugar in my diet. I had a pint of stout on holiday and nearly cried with joy. I've just eaten some toasted tiger bread. I haven't attempted cake yet (didn't even have cake at my own wedding). But more [1/3]

There are 5 pairs of glasses on my side table. Even after a hard day, when I revert to my natural form, that's one pair too many

Blargh. Just knocked up a quick Friday lunchtime utopian paradise in SimCity and it crashed without saving

My fitbit went kerflooey a while back so I've been wearing my old quartz watch. I keep getting phantom movement nudges *dzz dzz*

From a French Revolution museum exhibit in Paris… they wore jewelry with guillotines… ahahaha

This is a pair of guillotine earrings with the heads of Marie Antoinette and King Louis XVI.
