Haven’t posted any holiday snaps yet but this for the nerds, I have found the Southern Cross, and the second big star to the left is Alpha Centauri. The Namibian desert sky is making me very happy.

No internet for days so nice to be here briefly. As a treat here are yesterday’s elephants, a termite mound and a dikdik pic.

Look at the toe beans on this!

Fabulous opening day for the urban park @paulbernal.bsky.social

I feel seen

A colleague in CS once told me that Gen AI draws dicks everywhere because it’s been trained on so much stolen NSFW fanart. Going back and looking is quite funny because he’s totally right. It hides them in the little details as if it’s making the next little mermaid vhs box cover.

Just finished Rivals ep 2.6 and without spoilers I am VERY disappointed one character’s outcome has been changed when the outcome in the book was perfect!!

Sharing @goodlawproject.org's appeal. Trans kids deserve better than our awful transphobic government. But this seems to be all we can do at the moment.

Flags everywhere. People dressing in provocative clothing. Corporations jumping on the bandwagon, using it to sell things. People can do what they like in the privacy of their own home but do we have to have the World Cup shoved down our throats every 4 years? It used to be a day. Now it’s a month.

The FB pile-on reached its peak with this: “You only have to look at her profile to know what type of family they are“ My profile picture:

Currently being piled on by the keyboard parking wardens of the local Facebook group. It’s incredibly entertaining. No council enforcement or police or indeed pitchfork-wielding hordes have popped round yet. 🤭🤣🤣🤣

My fab network of women on boards talked about this recently. The skills required of non execs are SO different to executives. The worst kind of NED / Chair is a new ex-Csuite man (probably with an MBA) who can’t step back from operations or leave their ego at the door.

My favourite line from @privateeyenews.bsky.social Wes Streeting Post Mortem. May I say I would still pay good money for this.

incidentally “manifesting” gender-critical beliefs means misgendering, deadnaming, insults, harassment, exclusion, denial of medical care, violence, and advocating for the extermination of trans lives but it is a total mystery whether any of this signifies “negative attitudes towards trans people”

Wes Streeting should be held accountable for the deaths of children he caused by removing their medical treatment on ideological grounds, despite warnings from experts. His resignation is not enough, he should be prosecuted for the deaths he's responsible for.

That’s a good way of ensuring an even more divisive leader who would doom Blue Lab to ignominy… Wes the Weasel is busy taking donations, privatising the NHS, in bed with Palantir, a god bothering hypocrite who has banned treatments for young Trans people & interfered with the Puberty Blocker trial.

Not terrible given the targets … annoying to get the Siberian ones the wrong way round over the last few days though! I have a friend from Siberia, I know where her town is and it was neither of them. www.maptap.gg May 10 93👑 75🤗 84🌟 100🎯 75🤗 Final score: 861
