Went to Telford today. On the way out of the station there's this "energy harvesting pavement". As people walk on it, some energy is recovered. This is dumb. This is so dumb. If you want to harvest energy from an area of land, use solar panels.

Spending a couple of days in Chester. Seems like a great little city apart from the dual carriageway circling a full three quarters of the centre.

Shared a lift with Jimmy Carr. We'd both just met Buzz Aldrin so it was a bit of a weird vibe.

The BBC says "their friendship appears over", this is a fundamental misunderstanding of Trump and Musk. They were never friends, they are probably incapable of true friendship with anyone. They see all relationships as purely transactional and that means they were, at best, allies.

So I'm listening to @trashfuture.bsky.social from the beginning. I just got to 2019. Every episode I'm like "oh god you have no idea what's coming". This episode is about some loser named JD Vance and that motherfucker is VP now.

pride is next week pride wasn't brought to you by delta air lines, microsoft, coca-cola or even the democratic party. it was brought to you by trans women throwing bricks at cops and lesbians taking care of gay men dying of AIDS during reagan. do not forget where we came from. now more than ever.

"Unless we fill the magic box with Elton John songs it won't be able to diagnose cancer." The AI "industry"doesn't need anything produced by the creative industry. All the potential applications of AI are ones that utilise databases of facts.

Euston is probably the best terminus in London for variety of stock, I love departing from here. Not so much for enjoying the station itself, which is a bit of a hole.

Is the true name of this bus stop Fen Drayton Lakes or Fen Drayton Reserve? The world must know.

Watching @politicanimal.bsky.social 's GO WEST video, I couldn't guess his destination because it wasn't on openstreetmap, so fixed that. Easily some of the best travel videos on the internet, I could watch this stuff forever.

The existence of a "Peak" male physique implies the existence of an off peak male physique. And one could also argue an open return male physique and a first class advanced single male physique.
