It’s just people trying to rinse all your money on chairs, gardening equipment, burglar response (oh there’s a man in your house, I’ll trigger the smoke!), and then making you feel like a burden so hurry up and make your will (cost) and die (funeral costs). Flippin’ β€˜eck!

When was the last time you had to watch TV? No pause facility, no apps? Having to watch the ad breaks? It’s been soooo long for me that I hadn’t realised quite how awful it is. The further up the channel numbers you go the older the demographic it seems. The overall message is dying and death.(cont)

A bottle of yellow washing up liquid with some green washing up liquid having been poured in is sinking to the bottom not unlike a lava lamp. I was meant to be drying up and got distracted.

So green washing liquid is heavier than yellow?

Again, much smaller scale, but experienced similar when in a meeting to address my complaint about misogyny and crappy behaviour from a fellow radio presenter, he had pre-recorded his show to go out directly after the meeting, regardless of the outcome.

One of the very few reasons St Neots gets a mention.

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:

Every year I lament the lack of something like this here where I live. Cambridgeshire is nice but boring as hell. Work on a cultural strategy got shelved by the new mayor of the combined authority which is a mistake. The new focus is heritage and tourism. Without supporting culture, that won’t work.

Found this that I didn’t send into Anything Goes. Lots of clown tears. But made sure to include the toilets.

@curatorkate.bsky.social might give this a go. Also, if you’re on YouTube look for Bobby Fingers. You’ll be taken on a journey that’s for sure!

I’ve been working my way through The Office (us version), despite my initial reluctance but love it! Alma’s Not Normal, This Is Us (tho but emotional!), Mum, Bad Sisters.

Hi guys, did you already know there are competitions for window tinting? With better commentators than most of the tennis matches I’ve watched on ESPN? (Low bar I know)

Anyway if you need to procrastinate harder than you’ve ever procrastinated before, I got you

Reading isn’t a constant distraction that carries on when you need it to.
Sorry to hear you’re having to have treatment, hope it goes well.
What have you enjoyed watching?

On days like today, it’s important to remember the words of the wonderful Jonathan Miller when challenging the dog-whistling of those who wish to divide us for political or financial gain.

I’ve been advised this week that I should watch Gilmore Girls so that’s the plan, oh and β€˜Over the Garden Wall’ (which I’ve seen before but will watch again)

I would LITERALLY buy any phone that came out with internet and absolutely zero AI features. In fact if it had AI *blocking* features I'd buy it even faster.

Mother-in-law update:
Ship’s log. We may have inadvertently hit upon a way to pull grandma away from MAGA! Grow a Garden! It’s a Roblox game the kids love, and grandma has joined in on her iPad and is now ADDICTED! So much so she is no longer reading her Truth Social or hanging on MAGA forums!

DM: β€˜You come to large wooden door.’

Cat: β€˜I knock at the door.’

DM: β€˜An orc opens it and asks you to come in.’

Cat: β€˜I do nothing.’

DM β€˜He asks you to come inside again.’

Cat: β€˜I do nothing.’

DM: β€˜Eventually the orc tires and closes the door.’

Cat: β€˜I knock at the door.’
