Enjoying the Switzerland invention song immensely. Good hosting! #Eurovision

Switzerland started and all I could think of was that Barbara Pravi was underrated back in ‘21. I’ve done that already. I know. #Eurovision

Croatia then. Brian Molko is looking good for his age. “So. What is Wonka was more into revenge and less about spectacular inventiveness?” Wanted to like it. I did. #Eurovision

Netherlands started and all I could think of was that Barbara Pravi was underrated back in ‘21. #Eurovision

Albania o’clock. Loving the outfit and the hair. Needs a big finish though. Hmm. Not sure it needed a spoken word bit. Replace this quick with some monastic chanting and let’s talk. #Eurovision

San Marino are most welcome. The countries names means - of course - Without Marino. Probably. Anyway - glad they’re here. #Eurovision

Pretty sure Azerbaijan singing “I wanna fuck with you” and our subtitles have it wrong. Kinda digging this and tightening the singing can push this into top 5. #Eurovision

Italy! We love Italy! No notes. #Eurovision

Portugal look like a cult leader and it won’t end well. #Eurovision

Ukraine coming on like a Let Loose b-side. Meh. Obvs I love them but. Oh. #Eurovision

Don’t let go Poland! #Eurovision

Iceland are possibly hinting at a nautical theme here? You getting that? But I think they’re a captain birdseye short of a final round. #Eurovision

Sandra Studer lives on a very dark street with no adequate street lighting, is walking home, is very safety conscious. We applaud. #Eurovision

#Eurovision semi final time. Bring the noise. Bring the silliness. Bring the pop. I want to see Céline Dion appear out of a massive chocolate cuckoo clock playing an alpine horn.

#AI and #LLM question for the void. When a website is being scraped/crawled for content to generate LLMs or other... and a webpage includes a comments section then can tools differentiate between what is published and what is user generated content?

Today is the 80th anniversary of #VEDay. A book of remembrance is on permanent display in the Royal Gallery of the House of Lords commemorating lives lost in the Second World War. 📖 You can browse the book online iiif-archives.parliament.uk/GB61/GB61_PI...

Ate a small bag of chocolate orange mini eggs in front of my none-the-wiser 4yo daughter. Living the dream. A bit of a mean selfish dream but nonetheless, am taking it.

penelopetrappes.bandcamp.com/album/a-requ... Feels like one of the albums of 2025. Burying a quarter century in drone, sirens, memory and loss. A wee bit of magic for an April evening. Loved it.

Needed to show a QR code at the post office to send a return but because this was the last saved image on my phone this is what I showed them

Very much enjoying all of open.spotify.com/playlist/3jf... which I'm maybe 25% of the way through and discovering so much. A joy.

Art display at work… I took photos… www.tumblr.com/joe-takes-ph...

It's pancake day, it's pancvake day, yes it's p p p p p p p p pancake day.

One of the most common arguments you hear from fans of generative ‘AI’ is that it’s not plagiarizing people’s work, it’s just learning like a human learns. So I’m going to break down why that’s just not true, and why it can never be true, with the existing systems. 1/

British Antarctic Survey From the new Private Eye, out now.

Look at me. Commuting without the kids. Listening to Bigmouth Strikes Again. Like someone in their 20s circa 97. Living the dream.

This Thursday brought to you by the meeting of minds that is Shackleton & Six Organs of Admittance. sixorgansofadmittance.bandcamp.com/album/jinxed...

Years ago, I went to a birthday party in a small town. I went to a general store and asked if they had balloons. The fellow said yes. I asked if they had any in fun shapes and he said, "depends on how amusing you find circular". For some reason that's lived in my brain for years.

When’re the bus announces the next stop is Mount Ephraim all that goes through my head is the ominous, hammer horror, reading… “Mount Ephraim, Mount very Ephraim.”

Bought some books for the work library... Gary Stevenson's 'Trading Game', Coco Mellors' 'Blue Sisters', Colin Barrett's 'Wild Houses' & Leo Vardiashvili's 'Hard by a Great Forest' - will read in that order. Trying to read Butter at home but... ah mate - just not "in" yet.

#SaveThePCC Some of you may have read about the situation regarding our new landlord wishing to add a new redevelopment break clause, with only 6 months notice to our lease. For now, we're simply asking you all to share & sign the petition below; you.38degrees.org.uk/p/princechar...

Laurel Halo's Atlas takes care of Monday for me... open.spotify.com/album/3VaVfO... Feels like this album changed shape when I wasn't looking has grown, replaced, shifted. Filing under Lynchian for now. With love all round.

@nerysbus.bsky.social - #bollards but also penguins

Feels like a good day to be aware of penguins. So here are some penguin bollards from @artukdotorg.bsky.social #PenguinAwarenessDay artuk.org/discover/art...

I've been watching the ways in which search engines have integrated large language models into their results, and the results are just as bad as you would expect.

Train south from London being diverted onto lines not well known to me. Outskirts of Byfleet and New Haw seem nice to me in an alluring half rural drabness. Back down to the old country for drinks and reminiscing and catching up.
