It's such fun to be walking next to crawling traffic, every other car with AC howling away, belching out yet more heat, with their sodding windows open like: "Oh, the laws of thermodynamics don't apply to me." Twats.

My VO2max looks to be taking a downward turn. Been feeling like I've got the constitution of spun sugar these past couple of weeks. Had to cancel blood donors next week cos I had a fever Thursday and Friday. Re booked for August. #HoHum

I am just beginning to understand the very small (but vital) part I play in a production vastly broader than my mere individual existence or indeed, my imagination. It both terrifies and consoles me in almost equal measure. The respective proportions of the parameters varies minute by minute.

(anti)social media is dismaying for me even at the best of times. Billions of people clambering over each other for some fleeting sense of relevance, the issuance of which is dictated by greatest profitability to the already obscenely wealthy. Yeah, f🖕ck that. #BoycottBillionares #DeleteFacebook

Yep. That'd sort things out, I reckon.

I expect the Hoopers have this all stitched up, buttoned down and turning over a tidy tide. Hoping there are still some Bill Djangos doing their thing out there. #TheMenWhoStareAtGoats #FirstEarthBattalion

Spitting gravel again cos the DJ just said: "See you next time!" Mate... We won't even see you cos it's the F#CKING RADIO! I properly need to get the fuck over myself and lighten the fuck up. I don't think there's enough gin on the planet for that tho.

Swanee whistle is the poor person's Theremin. #HotTake

Joe Pasquale is the only choice for the next James Bond. This is not a matter for debate.

The Archers is trending. Wooo! Hopefully it's nothing ridiculously polemic like everything else here.

This seems uncannily familiar. Hannah Arendt's "The Origins of Totalitarianism": Pt3, Ch.10

When there’s no sheep to herd.. 😅

Doesn't matter if the performance itself is staged. The fact is, talented musicians coming together and giving a performance in a public space means the masses get to witness this for free and that's beautiful. TT: Raphaël Froissart IG: Michel Tirabosco ~ Pan flute

Got a Brucie bonus this evening. Yey!

Uh-oh! I've got a baaaad feeling about this. Didn't bother asking, just goes ahead and does it. Traa-laa-laa. 🎵

Yeah. F'kin blocked for this trolling POS picture.

This has to be the nicest rejection letter I've ever seen. @aavarion.bsky.social

I am merely an unwitting captive of my circumstances and must endure as best I can. I can't prove what mechanisms are in motion beyond the limits of perception, so I must simply choose which of the many possible illusions is preferable then play my part until it starts to grate unbearably.

My review of "film": I watched "film". It distracted me vaguely for a period of time.

I'm fed up with seeing this sort of shit. Computer Generated cat pics now. FFS. 🤦‍♂️

Lady Liberty 🗽 being arrested ✊🏼 at the L.A. protest by a couple of fascists in blue, who said that arresting her was the highlight of their day. 😒

I really like that Brad Fiedel went from "Tucker's Witch" to "The Terminator" without missing a beat.

Woah! Who knew that #HateBook etc are dangerous places to hang out? Big money willfully ignoring the wellbeing of the livestock? Shock! Horror! Probe! A wrist-slap for 2% of monthly turnover is a good start. www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I’m disturbed that you are playing the generation blame-game. This is exactly what the Epstein Class wants- groups of the working class pitted against one another. In every generation there are good & evil members. Remember that many Boomers fought for Civil Rights, Women’s rights & social justice🕊️

I've never been allowed nice things but this is also true.

Rewatching "American Graffiti". Just noticed a little reference to one of Lucas' earlier movies.

They have real trolls in Norway, you know. youtu.be/T4Upf_B9RLQ?...

My heart pumps puddles of purple piss for the poor plutocrats. You know it does. It really does.

A fitting tribute which cracked a smile on my sullen mug. Rest in peace, Rob Grant. ❤️😢

Messing about with some musical generative algorithm tools resulted in this abomination emerging with very little effort on my part except for burning half a rainforest and draining lake Baikal. I will endeavour to make amends for these misdeeds. soundcloud.com/macknobody/a...

Improvements in charge capacity make sodium-ion battery tech likely to surpass lithium as preferred energy storage medium. Probable added benefit is fresh water. pubs.rsc.org/en/content/a...

So, Arendt's "Origins of Totalitarianism" is being used as a playbook now?

I'm a bit freaked out cos earlier I heard a song on the radio which I said reminded me of "Computer Love" by Kraftwerk, then another like Giorgio Moroder. Rolled the dice as we do, to pick an evening movie and it comes up with "Electric Dreams" 1984.

We're cutting all the red tape which holds us in oppressive bondage!

I have a feeling that regular engagement with simple, little positive things gradually steers my perception in a more helpful direction. This article seems like a succinct reflection of my own findings. theconversation.com/forget-grand... #MentalHealth #Wellbeing #Positivity #Perception #Meaning

Study suggests that getting your body accustomed to 30 second sprints can help to control panic attack symptoms. I like the disclaimer at the end: "Oh, but don't do this if your heart is on the wonk cos it'll likely kill you, m'kay." www.psychologytoday.com/au/blog/the-...

Figuring out a model for a stochastically flat D16 / hexadecimal dice. Truncated sphere with face positions calculated from minimum energy surface-confined electrostatic repulsion. Some functional compromises needed, but probably okay. #Dice #Randomness #Chance #TTRPG #3DModelling #Hexadecimal
