I used to be a graphic and web designer. Then I was a model maker and artist's tech. Then the work dried up and now I don't know what I am. For all the clever I'm running on ice and the ice is melting.

I saw three broken cars on the A50 as I was heading in and out of Stoke on Trent today. Every one a Land Rover of some sort. The purple faced driver of the last one plugging up the Uttoxeter roundabout causing a 30 min tailback looked ready to blow. Surely the shittest modern manufacturer?

The missing 11th Commandment: Whenever a motorcycle appears in an action movie thine helmet must have a dark visor so thine audience cannot tell it's actually a stunt double riding. Unless thou art Tom Cruise.

Today I have manhandled 1.2 tonnes (24 firkins) of beer into the cellars of 10 pubs. That's some 1,700 pints, which mostly geezers will pay to convert into 1,530 pints of urine. It's a strange world.

America is like that movie trope of two people fighting on the floor when they both stop, look at the gun, race to grab it and one of them says 'oh please, after you'.

Did Trump really need to meet Putin to collect his Zelensky dis-track lyrics? Couldn't it have been emailed? Sounds very inefficient.

Cut my losses and gave up on trying to find bars of soap in Boots after 15 minutes. With the hour or so I have saved myself I'll get to work on fusion power and/or a cure for Trumpism.

Interesting thought: Musk's been making himself indispensable by plundering federal systems. There will be no falling out with Trump as the blowback will end him.

Excellent interview with @dorianlynskey.bsky.social on @bipisci.bsky.social Big Picture Science podcast there! Love it when podcasts overlap.

*Incredibly* positive news for Scotland's northeast, as the energy transition brings *£30 billion* in investments. Remember: as powerful as the far-right looks right now, they have nothing to offer but a retreat into the past borne along on a current of scientific and economic illiteracy.

It's grim, but we're a rich continent with big strengths, and defending Ukraine and the rest of us against ageing, corrupt, sclerotic Russia is essential and eminently doable.

Asset who's only in post thanks to a tech billionaire and works for an asset who's only in post thanks to a tech billionaire lectures about "values'. The cheek of the man.

In a total #bothsides fail, #BBCnews do not balance reporting with experts that deny this is Crunchie wrapper, it was found in Cambridge or that libraries even exist.

The only defence against a bad president with a megalomaniac billionaire is a good president with a perfectly well adjusted non-sociopathoc billionaire. Oh fuck.

I've had to put WhatsApp back on my phone as it seems most people are absolutely fine with Meta's lack of spine and being utterly tethered to them. I feel dirty and not significant enough to pull more than three people to Signal!

Countries will be countries, Borders will be borders, Some have lost their folks at war, Some have given orders, Don't wag your fingers at them and turn to walk away, Don't shoot someone tomorrow that you can shoot today, Time to end the praying, Listen what they're saying.

I've got to say, the guy who accidentally became the Director of the FBI does 100% look like the guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI in a mid-2000s comedy about a guy who accidentally becomes the Director of the FBI

What would a conscious AGI 'do'? Everything else that we considered conscious is driven by primitive motivations - eat, feck, survive with everything else layered on top. A conscious AGI wouldn't have that - if it had 'survival' then we'd be in trouble. Just wondering...
