Worth noting that in the UK, there’s not such a wide spread in the demographic of share ownership as in the US; it is even more skewed toward the rich

An early happy new year to all of my friends here. I’ll probably ask you to help out in 2026. If you can’t or won’t, that’s entirely cool. If you can, we’ll change things together. Happy New Year

I have eaten a life-shortening amount of cheese

2026 is going to be the year of justice.

Mario Puzo wrote The Godfather to immediate acclaim and success. He decided that, if writing were to be his profession, he should get some formal training. And so he enrolled on the NYU creative writing correspondence course. In due course, the books and the syllabus were delivered to him.

Isn't it fantastic to be a sovereign nation once again, able to make our own rules and not bend to the demands of foreign politicians?

Why do people take an instant dislike to me? - To save time.

More people who’ve blocked me. No idea why

The role that is most vulnerable to being automated with AI is CEO; they make (usually binary) decisions and act on available information. They output nothing tangible. Nobody though talks about having an AI CEO, only replacing entry-level workers

15 yrs ago I was in a (17 yr) relationship that wasn't good for me. 2 tweets inspired me: "if you don't like where you are, move, you are not a tree" & "Do something that scares you every day" I then left. It was hard. It was scary. I had no plan. So thankful I did it. You can do it.

I am less and less confident that the USA will recover from Trump

These things are becoming indistinguishable from real stories.

I’ve got an awful lot of cheese to eat before 1st January

Another year snubbed by the New Year’s Honours

Half an hour at any National Trust place at Christmas-time is enough to convince that an extinction event is necessary

Fantastic work www.nme.com/news/tv/sout...

I’m getting blocked a lot recently. I wonder why

Rabbi Cohen in Nobody Wants This is also Ned Ryerson in Groundhog Day

I’ve reflected on some things over the Christmas period, and I think that AI has the potential to be disruptive - in the negative sense - to many people’s lives. However, to (in a tiny way, but one that hopefully can grow) I think I’ve come up with a plan to harness it to help the JMDF

Sunday trading laws are so archaic. Got a supermarket delivery this morning for 830am but realised I had forgotten something. Tried to physically go to the exact same supermarket to get forgotten item and it didnt open till 10am. Wtf?

Healthcare and pandemic controls are only as strong as their weakest link, and America has abandoned the science. Prepare now, because if this makes the jump to humans, we’re in for a very bad time www.sciencefocus.com/news/bird-fl...

Random ask. Does anyone fancy pet sitting chez nous, in La Manche, close to the DDay Landing beaches? UK August bank holiday weekend. We offer the financial equivalent of kennels costs per day & obviously all the mod cons at our 4 bed traditional stone cottage. Anyone interested?

I am trying this thing of (and try not to laugh at me) a Lego approach to tasks; setting my phone timer to six minutes, trying to complete a tiny task in that time and then attaching that to the next completed task when I have another six minutes. I’m feeling this is working so far
