Ugh, Star Trek. It really peeves me when they have overweight crew members. I mean, being fit for duty is surely important. It’s only second to incompetent crew members. Surely these are supposed to be the best of the best??

How is this even real? Amazing!

My wife’s office wear is getting more festive, peaking this morning with this outfit! A splash of colour in the darker months 🎄

Imperceptible difference.

My wife’s work! She’s very proud! Kids, don’t do drugs, this is what it does to you.

Herbert F. Johnson House, Frank Lloyd Wright, Wind Point, USA, 1939

Mmm, brutalism.

Eisenhower bankrupted Britain intentionally, forcing continued rations after WW2 and making the UK repay war debt until 2006. The US did everything it could to cripple us (and still does).

7.30am and still dark. This time of year is fun and festive but also a bit depressing. I want some sun and warmth!! ☀️

A quieter thanksgiving this year, but my wife as always put together a fantastic feast! Yes, I’m British but my wife is American!

I’m feeling very festive today, maybe because we did a Christmas market earlier and we are having a slightly delayed thanksgiving today 🦃 Is it too early for a whisky? 🥃

It smells like Christmas here…

Watching “The Tomorrow War”. I like the premise, but it’s also really well done. Very easy to watch again.

One of my favourites. A fascinating film. Seen it dozens of times.

Star Trek isn’t as utterly destroyed as Star Wars is. Yet.

It’s also quintessentially British so foreign anyway!

Although my wife’s photo is better. Grrr.

Christmas is coming…

Whisky #2/24. A very warming finish at 46%.

A very wet parkrun this morning! Feel good for it as always… Had breakfast, watching Pluribus and then time for a nap!

I bought myself a new Apple Watch Ultra 3 to replace my older Series 7. Love it, but most importantly I’ve made sure KPop soundtrack is ready to play for parkrun in the morning 🤣

I reckon it won’t be long before it’s normal to be verified with ID and a live video. Too many bots and people claiming to be something and/or someone they are not. Sucks though…but works for dating sites apparently.

Blue doesn’t realise how lucky he is to be loved like this, even if he can’t breathe 😆

Massively underrated. We buy in bulk at Costco 😆

So X now shows locations for people and turns out a bunch of MAGA types aren’t even American. Half the people on here are living through alter egos. When everyone is faking, it stops being fun.

Pris does love this spot in the utility room, out of the way I suppose 🤷‍♂️

Operating systems are just so bland and lifeless now.

An absolutely beautiful start to the day.

The internet is mind-bogglingly resilient. Except when everyone runs everything on the same frigging giant corporate services. The old internet was so much better at this, except for the slashdotting.

On #1 of 24, Black Whiskey from Peru. Very nice indeed!

My morning coffee was brought to me inside a gingerbread man. Christmas is coming it seems.

Christmas decorations are appearing all over the house. Mid-November you say?

Guten morgen!

Barcode scanning at #parkrun today. About perfect weather wise!

Front garden definitely looks autumnal.

I’ve claimed that. The mountain that is, not the boat. It’s a caldera don’t you know…

I had one of these! Never had to suffer rubber keys whilst I learned Z80 and BASIC 😝

Watched the new Superman, wife hated it as it played into the modern tendency to show men as weak and pathetic and women as never happy and/or flawless. I enjoyed it, but not as a Superman movie. Superdog was awesome!

Selfie.

Proper autumnal weather! A slither of sunset.

It’s worth getting up!

Really need to get up, look at the wonderful sunshine!

I instantly block (online) or ignore (in person) anyone who spouts nonsense like this, or anti-vax or flat earth or whatever other stupidity. Imagine gaining knowledge from TikTok 🤣

My wife has made pumpkin muffins. I also did not know pumpkin was so good for dogs!

I was in NYC recently and was taken aback with the aisle upon aisle of stuff locked up. Even low value items like toothpaste. In one of the richest cities on the planet it all felt very dystopian.

I did a small amount of work on my Smalltalk thing last night. It was fun, but I think I want to do something else now! I like doing graphics, I like doing complex stuff in Rust.

My youngest son and I are digging through the sh*t tons of Lego to build minifigs. Even managed to find some of my Lego from when I was a kid! I still have the crater base tiles somewhere!!

At the public library. Cartography, design and architecture are my usual targets. Love brutalism! Don’t you think this building looks a bit like Battlestar Galactica?…

I just watched a video on the British two pounder gun where the Tiger IV was described as the “tiger eye v”. Yes, AI text to speech. Insta-block.
