Having the optimal London-Glasgow train experience rn and once again realising just how stupidly misguided the thinking behind HS2 was. The greatest example of the lobotomised world-leading hubris of the political class here

I always applaud anyone who bows out of an argument by saying they're going to sleep, regardless of how they performed in the argument. Going to bed is a universally noble exit for a poster. I will always wish you well.

I put a 2500 lumen bulb on a clip-on light and now I feel as if I'm holding a piece of the Sun itself

Concept: A guide to London landmarks that annotates upfront whether it was built earnestly or as a Cinderella Castle

Highgate Cemetery is blatant aura farming. The Victorians knew what they were doing and I'm calling them out for it

This is an instant classic and people are still sleeping on it. This will be as well-known as that Ikea SCP, mark my words!

Posting this Yuuka from a sunlit bench. Spring is coming! (I'm actually not very good at drawing flowers, but let's ignore that and enjoy the early blossoms) #東方project #風見幽香

Lily White to mark the start of Spring! #LilyWhite #リリーホワイト #東方project #touhou

be gay do crimes that are crimes only as a suffocating imposition of the illiberal regime, not the crimes that exploit social trust and make civilisation less tenable

Recording the rare moments when I wanted to express a concept that had a clear phrase for it in Polish but not in English (it happens the other way around a lot more often):

by the way I've got 4 weeks remaining in London before moving to 🇸🇬, so I'm going to apply a bit more of a visitor's mindset in the meantime; assume I'm visiting from afar and tell me if you'd like to meet up, especially if you haven't yet 🙂

I wanted Claude to explore the idea of the triple lock as an SCP, and instead it wrote up a full eye-catching document that is also surprisingly good and detailed 😭 as in this is the first time in ages that I'm 'laughing with' rather than 'laughing at' AI output

incredible

was WW1 also this stupid when it started

This Discord server IS an airport. When you decide to leave, please announce in #departures promptly

my trip to America was too short and the plans could have been more optimised but thank you so much to everyone I've met, this has been my most fun one by far ❤️

"enough with the globalists, we must reaffirm national destiny" *gets into a forever war, 100k dead* Why does this always happen

capricious leaders love wars technocapital hates wars therefore I side with technocapital

still unsure that San Francisco is a real city, as opposed to something I dreamed up after a concussion

London AI ads are about using AI to optimise HR workflows New York AI ads are about using AI to make good investments San Francisco AI ads are about using AI to make more AI

I'm so annoyed that we didn't even manage to have a global free movement zone for citizens of untroublesome countries before we got into the mood of winding it all down and locking everyone up

so glad to be surrounded with friends who are more cultured than me 🥹

it's a long island

they transgendered the city (it's fake and cis)

incredible things are happening in San Francisco

soon: 'I Spent 45 Hours In The Bay Area. What I Saw Scared Me'

Planes are fun Trains are fun Cars are fun Bikes are fun Legs are fun Being in one place, and then in another place, is so fun

reminder that I am in San Francisco this weekend, and in New York otherwise until next week Thursday, if you're around and would like to say hi!

btw the reason I'm awake and poasting is because I'm adjusting my body's timezone to New York. and not because I've been really slow at packing and also accidentally expanded its scope to tidy up all my possessions while at it. no such thing

The elites take away your freedom to move through the physical world and you nod. The elites take away your freedom to move through the internet world and you nod. There is no other choice, they say. You have to experience things their way, and not the others' way, after all.

Seeing a business with 2024 AI slop branding feels offensive. They should upgrade to 2026 AI slop already
