Oooh this game is new to me. Thanks for the new cup of tea time waste!

Been snorkelling today. Saw many amazing fish and learnt there is an international response to seeing a baby shark (at least British, Thai, Polish and Israeli). Do do do do do do do do.

The Covid apps cost billons without several features not actually having a user need. Oh and AI can only work with clean data to mine. My point is there is no clean data to mine.

National data is far from great. There are errors in much simpler data sets like HMRC and the DVLA. NHS national info is sketchy. Not to mention the digital divide. Saying ‘we will have ID cards’ doesn’t somehow create the tech infrastructure to do it or people to adopt it. It’s years/decades away

Aah the joys of autumn and the face height spider’s web. Sorry for destroying your home, mate, but it went up my actual nose.

I ways enjoyed watching people arguing with Charlie Kirk. This awful thing has taken all these arguments from that and destroyed so much interaction

Thoughts and prayers this evening to all the Londoners who brushed off their bikes in the last couple of days. It’s HORRIBLE out there. #definatelyAutumn

If putting crispy chilli oil on a stroopwaffel is wrong I don’t want to be right.

Go to The Lamb just down the road. Lovely Victorian pub

If you turn about 45 degrees to the left of where that photo’s taken from you will be staring up at the Slough House/Slow Horses office!

Well those two little old ladies I just helped were certainly alarmed by the government
alarm!

LinkedIn spam excelling itself today by sending me a job that expired 3 years ago and a second job for New Zealand based voiceover artists. (I am neither in NZ nor have any voiceover skills on my profile).

Got the filthiest of transcribed voicemails. All about being horny, my colon, internal education levels. Upon listening it was the hair salon asking if I minded having a different stylist today half an hour earlier. WTF iPhone transcription?

I’ve had three separate texts (old school SMSs) offering me jobs writing fake online customer reviews this week. Have we finally found something that AI and bots aren’t pretending they can do?

Did you apply? I’d be tempted to string it along for a bit out of Sunday morning boredom curiosity.

Thing is I didn’t do ‘badly’ A,B,C,E. But the kids that do well now are acing it. Literally.

Same! I used to be on a cycling thread on a forum and we went out a few times a year for many years. We almost always only used online names even in a pub. Facebook helps a bit but only when you find them by accident or ‘you might know’

Well done to all who got what they needed in their A levels today. And don’t stress if you didn’t. At some point I am going to have to stop hiding behind the narrative that they are easier now and accept that I just didn’t do very well in mine.

Ours was Xanaxis, Barnstaple. I googled to check the spelling and that appears now to be a fentanyl laced drug. We were more Lambrini.

Copilot did something really useful for me today and I feel *dirty*

The Toyota Corolla seems to have been a popular parental 80s choice. (Making age assumptions here)

Noodles Corolla.

I’m way more basic. I wish people understood that we make things accessible because it’s better for everyone. Including them (and potential future them)

He bought the trainers but in our defence the march had stopped for 5 mins. And he is a cis het man. We carried on with his utter joy at the whole thing (and I love him a bit more now)

Went to Trans Pride today. Took my first ever cis het partner who had never even been to pride. I’m so pleased at the joy he took with marching as an ally with people he respects and it was an amazing day.

I am going to Trans Pride shortly and wondering if it would be too cis to nip into the trainer shop on Regents street while there.

When I did event planning I visited a lot of allegedly 4 star hotels. That square meter bath in the basement by the car park is not a spa.

It’s pretty much how Trump got in. Just says ‘thing x’ and it’s then done and dusted. Doesn’t matter if it never happens.

To add: that senior consultant who came along to pitch meetings and kick offs is not doing any of the work. Do not be fooled by this …

Faceless megacorps who then send junior often less specialist staff because they get more profit off their lower salaries. SMEs lose, the dept loses and even the member of big corp staff loses as they can find themselves out of their depth. And the megacorps win.
