I am in a ship.

you don't understand. as someone who isn't inherently good at art, stealing paintings from the museum is the *only* way i'm able to express myself creatively. i wouldn't be able to paint beautiful portraits. but by breaking into a museum and stealing the paintings, now i am

Pips is the best thing to happen to the nyt puzzles app since archives were added. Big fan.

Guy at work had a baby and the only way people found out is by his updated Strava picture.

what if I told you that taking accountability for your actions was traditionally considered a load-bearing feature of masculinity?

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job. AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Mike Cernovich tweet: I’ve activated a dead man switch. If I’m killed, names of people responsible will be released. I suggest every prominent conservative conduct a similar review of their lives and ensure justice prevails.

Would probably vote for the greens if they put up a credible candidate in Cardiff west. We usually get a doc brown looking weirdo with a single issue allotment agenda.

Of course the day I’m going to end of the road festival, the clutch goes in the van I’m both using to get there and sleep in.

Sent out loose birthday pints invites to a couple of different group chats in which I only know 70% of the people in each one. It could be a very weird gathering.

File along side the guy on YouTube who meticulously restores mechanical wristwatches in the top tier of viewing.

There’s a program on the iplayer about a Japanese father & son who restore ancient artistic pottery & honestly it’s the best kind of slow TV that soothes the soul. Could watch hours of it.

We came second in pub quiz last night but we scored 69 so actually that makes us the real winners.

A bonafide legend RIP 🤘

I’ve also just finished Ruin by John Gwynne on the old audiobook. Here is my review: bleak.
Great world building, nice characters both good, bad & in between, exciting story etc but my god it’s a stream of relentless misery. I’m just really hoping we get a bit of joy in the last of the series.

Today is Britain at its absolute stinking worst: a full on media and political feeding frenzy targeting someone who righteously sought to punch up for doing so in the wrong way, as we all avert our eyes from a real, genuine evil. Properly grim.

Solidarity with Bob Vylan - end the genocide.

Pathetic.

Also got a bit emosh during Fathers Son, a lot of wet eyes and clenched jaws in that moment.

Saw Stephen Wilson Jr in the barrowlands in Glasgow last night and it was an absolute all timer of a gig. The room, the crowd, the performance were all just so perfect. Still buzzing this morning.

I am drinking a pint of tennents in the barrowland ballroom. This is living lads.

Also Glasgow is the shit.

Driving from Cardiff to Glasgow for a gig tonight because the Bristol leg of the tour was just too damn convenient.

Maybe Hamas were hiding in there…

Na poster hanging up that says no Kings no slaves no Nazis with three red hands, pointing to a crown a confederate flag and a swastika

Boy George wrecking JK Rowling

lmao get her

Had to put the pic on because criticising anything other than yourself is cringe. Criticising yourself is also cringe.

Got 6music on & my god it’s scraping the bottom dregs of the 90s radio 1 bucket.
