Anyone have a good sturdy gibbet?

Welcome to Starmerwatch 2026

Look, I'm just saying we need to train Youtube Premium's "Jump Ahead" feature to skip past the part in the video where they spend 15 minutes giving FAR TOO MUCH history / context about something before getting to the thing the video was supposed to be about. But first we need to go back to 89 BC whe

Tech Billionaires pivoting from AI to Humanoid Robots: "Doesn't everyone want to own C-3PO?" Do I really have to explain why I wouldn't want to own a robot slave just to get me stuff from the fridge? I'm pretty good at doing that already.

My consolation is that people have to call milk “Normal Milk” now

The oven repair firm just cancelled, and now I'm researching replacing a heating element myself. If this all goes bad, tell them I died doing what I loved - ignoring safety warnings.

My youtube algo really wants me to hate Starfleet Academy. But I don't, it's fine! Can't make me!

Anthropic study outcome: By not learning anything, people don't learn anything

Normal Leasehold business

Is this that enshittification thing I've heard tell about?

What’s up?

- Jensen Huang wants us to be less negative about AI - John Carmack wants everyone to go back to Twitter - Jeff Bezos says local PC hardware is "antiquted" and wants everyone to use (his) cloud computing Why is anyone listening to these fucks. The last person I want to hear from is all CEOs

Youtube Video: "Why <film> is the worst movie ever!" Contents: 20 minutes explaining the plot. No actual criticism.

Amazon is such a shithole. Even trying to buy an HDMI cable, it's nothing buy dodgy fake companies selling highly rated products with obviously AI written reviews.

New Samsung TV has an AI Vision mode. It's supposed to intelligently adjust the settings to match the content and environment. Mostly though it just makes everything a bit too blue.

The sales seem more honest these days

BBC Sherlock has a lot to answer for

Remember to travel to your nearest big Tesco and experience the traditional festive argy-bargy. For best results, bring about 17 kids with you (Just borrow your neighbours) and see if you can create a trolley bottleneck that can't physically be resolved without removing the shelving units.

For some reason everyone ends thinking the building on the right is the Bank of England. It’s just a fancy mall with a Fortnum & Mason and a Tiffany in. The one on the left is the bank.

The Scots are right, Jan 2nd should be a bank holiday.

I'm worried I'm going to spend more of the break watch X-Files episodes than one ought to. It's a good worried though.

Assorted December sunrises

My one sentence horror story - "Oh, I only read non-fiction."

Didn’t they teach paragraphs at Quantico Scully?

France Review: Eiffel Tower 3/5 - Long wait for lifts. Chateau Versailles - 4/5 Biggest and fanciest place. Tourists there suck tho Trianon - 5/5 - Secret best bit Louvre 4/5 - Getting inside is terrible even with timed ticket Notre Dam 5/5 Sacré-Cœur - 2/5 - Area is full of aggressive scammers

First attempt at speaking to someone in France - Me: “Bonjour! Parlez-vous anglais?” Them: “What?”

<- helpfully carries someone's suitcase "You can use the roly wheels" "Honestly I prefer to just carry it." "But the wheels..." "I really find them annoying and it's not that heavy" "But you can just drag it with the wheels?" "I hate the wheels!" "JUST USE THE WHEELS" "I WOULD RATHER DIE"

In the ticket description write a list of the Functional and Non-Functional smoothies

Remember: Spring back, Fall forward

I'm pretty good at figuring out when people accidentally write 'not' meaning 'now' (Eg. "It's not working"), and other way around. It's basically a superpower.

As a reasonably Uncle-coded person, I aspire to live up to the definition from DHMIS

I'm doing some good harbinging today, so watch out for that

Local saying: A stopped clock is 25-minutes fast twice a day.

Lunchtime tree walk

Not sure star wars should have wicker

Old plan: Less anime New plan: More anime

Fun tip: Replace a few of your commonly used items with identical versions but in different colours. Enjoy the sense of unease that follows where you wonder if you've slipped into an alternate dimension. Ask your friends if they know how you can get back to the 'Blue backpack dimension'

Earlier this year I stayed somewhere with a close view of golf happening. I was struck by how little anyone seemed to be enjoying it. Just a bunch of people seemingly grumpy about how their golf is going.

Normal occurrences in Paternoster Square

Getting in your car after the garage guy drove it, and the seat is so low you can only really see the sky. He wasn't that tall!

NowTV: Your home for those blue/yellow type shows. (Also, we can’t decide which of them is our second most favourite)

Ooh, a 20 minute video on a disaster I've never heard of that sounds vaguely troubling. "To truly understand the Bicester Windmill Disaster of 1993, we have to go back to Lord Millington-Forthsythe Brown who was born in 1723 and invented the gyrating sprocket. But first we must go to 121 BC when..."

Every time I leave my flat, I walk down three identical staircases. Sometimes there are four flights, and sometimes just two. You may think it’s probably just related to my mental health at the time. But no, pretty sure it changes for real. Also my neighbours are demonic blob monsters.

No promises, grim portal.

"Maybe it'll come in the second post?" It never did

Reposting this from 2017 to upset a new platform

Meeting someone you know randomly on the tube always seems off. Oh so we just happened to be travelling at the exact same time and got on the same part of the same carriage of the same train? Yeah right. Bad writing coincidence bullshit. Went downhill after season 3.
