My uncle died in Bali and I had to deal with the aftermath. We told everyone it was a diving accident, but really he did too much blow while accompanied by two ladies of the night. Secretly quite proud of him, there are worse ways to go

While at a conference, the woman sitting next to me suddenly slumped forward in a faint. Trying to help, I held her head down by pressing down on her shoulders. It turned out she had not fainted but had only been trying to retrieve her bag off the floor. I left early.

Chatbots are really old technology. ELIZA was already crushing it in the 60s. We got annoyed with Clippy in the 90s. I learned about language models in college and played around with GPT-2 and GPT-3 for art projects. I’m not interested in your marketing hype *because* I’m interested in new tech.

After tea, in the fade-light, Old Fox walked to the sheep church on the Downs. It was dark, lit by a single oil lamp & deserted but for an elderly hare in the front pew. He was wiping tears away. It's all so hard, he said. I know, said Old Fox & went to sit with him.

Just like in every town the best bits of shrewsbury are the pedestrianised bits. But the town could really benefit from a fully pedestrianized centre! The area outside the station is horribly blighted by a confluence of roads and traffic. Council’s best efforts to address this hampered by timidity

The geography of Shrewsbury gives it so much potential, I think. The center is almost an island, which makes it all the easier to imagine as car free.

I celebrated by buying books 😁 Including French poetry and the French edition of The Count of Monte Cristo. Might not be able fully understand them yet, but it's good to have goals. I love that Shrewsbury Oxfam bookshop has both language-learning materials *and* fiction in various languages.
