What??? This is pathetic. Come on, UK, you can do better than this! Go respond to this ridiculous UKGOV consultation on AI asap! Just ignore all the fiddly questions in the middle; they're there to discourage you from having your say. www.gov.uk/government/c...

Right. Transphobic asshats have got a petition to repeal the GRA to over 10,000 signatures. Fuck that. Let's get this one higher: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/70...

Trying to wriggle out from under the dead weight of my sleeping dog like I'm in Gerald's Game.

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general. If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Just watched Blink Twice. Absolutely fantastic. Reminded me strongly of I May Destroy You. If you liked that, then give this a go, but it deals with similar subject matter, so go carefully.

Folks, I strongly recommend enabling the BlueSky setting that forces you to write alt text whenever you post a picture/video/gif! Writing alt text may add a few seconds to your posting time but it's invaluable to some of the people wanting to view your post.

AI will never be able to perform the function of a search engine.

Today one of the archivists sent me details of a collection she thought I might like. It was a series of letters between Victorian scientists about their sea serpent-hunting expeditions. This woman has met me once and she knows me better than my parents.

Watched I Saw The TV Glow over the weekend and kept on thinking that it really seems like an adaptation of Magic for Beginners even if it isn't. Knew someone else must've had the same thought and they did. roughcutfilm.com/2024/09/02/r...

Watching the Boyzone documentary because I enjoy crying and having formative memories ruined.

CILIP is concerned that the removal, hiding, and modification of data, research and other information resources by authorities in the USA is already starting to impede the vital work of UK information professionals. Read more👇 www.cilip.org.uk/news/693964/...

Today's walk was in the hills outside Cupar. Some of the wooded areas looked just like the sort of places in Red Dead Redemption where you'd randomly stumble across a man in a tin bath and he'd pull a gun out of the suds and shoot you in the face. I'm aware videogames have broken my brain.

Rewatching Hunderby at the moment for Reasons and damn if Julia Davis isn't an icon for multiple reasons.

The fact that only 2% of professors identify as fascists shows just how insular and out of touch universities have become.

This evening's dog walk took us along the coast not far from Elie. What a place to live. Such views.

Good morning. You're don't have to earn rest. 💜

My previous attempts to submit this were thwarted by the fact the 'save' function doesn't appear to work, so i made use of this template and at least got SOMETHING submitted.
