update: there’s also a bit where you simulate being a conductor and/or the guy tidying the platforms and frankly this is where i draw the line. why would you do that?!

i was like ‘huh, maybe i will feel better if i do some gardening.’ and then i listened to this week’s 404 media podcast like a FOOL

it’s good and everything, and i mean everything, is so so stupid (except the garden)

heriot-watt, nottingham, bristol, leicester come to mind

um, asking for a friend, is anyone keeping a list of all the Languages departments/courses that have been cut/under threat in UK universities? #langsky

i would approach these with caution, let's just put it that way

glad to see we are.... hiring?!

lads, i hate to say it but we live in the "sign open letters to save languages until you're the one writing the open letter" timeline (more soon, i promise but feel free to spread rumours)

i feel this in my bones this week

oh my GOD

today some robins and blue tits found my bird feeder

lambs will be reposted until morale
improves

arrived 4 minutes late

i think there are probably a lot of them but it’s this one and it looks great: trainsimworld.com/gb

‘this is a cross country train to edinburgh waverley’ diabolical

it’s train sim world 6 and i absolutely adore how realistically grubby these trains look

i’ve watched him play this game for 20 minutes and i now understand why so many men are confident they could land a plane

my partner: ‘do you want me to show you the train simulator game?’

20 mins later i have caused a delay on the train from plymouth to exeter because we were looking out the window and he forgot to press the ‘i’m still here’ button

i’ve made astonishingly good life choices to end up here, holy shit

to narrow it down, i’m really interested in the whole ‘ai agents are a digital workforce’ ‘turn your people into managers’ etc discourse that salesforce loves

you will be unsurprised that the springer books etc seem a bit ai generated

a more well rested version of me would not repost this but here we are

do not search for ‘agentic ai’ on google scholar

finally back on my ‘agentic ai discourse’ beat and wow there sure has been a lot of ‘agentic ai discourse’

😮 *typed while sitting cross-legged on my office chair*

(don’t do that, that seems dangerous)

you may think you procrastinate on a task involving a phone call but i just called my credit card provider after being locked out of my account for *checks notes* 3 months

sheep with 2 adorable lambs

in good news (good ewes?): lambs are here

look how cute and naive december 2025 me was: bsky.app/profile/nina...

i am back here

Climate collapse is happening regardless of who gets into power.

The same choices will be faced by both Reform and Greens (and the rest of them, lol).

There’s genuinely only one party I trust to make those choices.
