Every girl can do instant price-yield calculations for treasuries, YAS QUEEN

My bad take on That Harpers Article (and a whole pile of other stuff happening rn) is that we accidentally built a giant machine for power-method diagonalizing the human mind, and people are freaking out because the eigenvectors actually turn out to be the way we’ve guessed they’d be for millennia.

hey guys i found glonzo!

so my first inkling of this morning’s US-EAST-1 outage was the family gc complaining about wordle being flaky; i should hook up my dad to a prometheus alert or something

Bunch of Jacksonville Jaguars fans on the tube and none of them are Jason Mendoza, I am disappoint

One of life’s little pleasures is to be on a quiet overground train through a city on a bright morning. You get to peer at the structure, without the chaos and obfuscation caused by everything being in operation.

Yet another "It would be real nice if Westminster actually behaved as if they meant it when they talked about the UK rather than just England" case, although it does give me an excuse to post this excellent video www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Y_d...

The Teenager enjoyed his music class (hurrah!) but now the already inherently fox/chicken/grain nature of wrangling offspring has the extra comedy of every task potentially having “with a tuba” added on

Tried a Lime bike for the first time and it was great but now I get why accidents are an issue - as soon as you move the pedals it shoots off, so it’s built like a tank but handles like a Wile E Coyote gag

Hello i am at the old persons rave (Eat Static album launch party)

It had not hitherto occurred to me that one of the most powerful refutations of historical determinism is The Devil Wears Prada (2006) but I’m here for it

I had this on while scrubbing the walls; @julietk.bsky.social wandered in and said “what is this, goth dancefloor bangers 2002?”. Umm, pretty much literally, yes 😳 www.mixcloud.com/djfross/dj-f...

Still remember the day in 2008 when the phone was ringing off the hook with people wanting us to step into their trades, which for some reason all seemed to be facing Lehman

Gonna continue today’s run of reposting high quality trolling with this beauty docs.rs/crate/fibona...

Gavin has shown himself unfit to be President. This is why we should let our current President take a third term, despite his age. Who cares what the constitution says.

Noticed before the bot this time because she did a big parp coming up to the bridge.

Are you allowed to consider a song to be an (honorary?) 90s track if it was written in 1979 BUT it appeared on the Trainspotting soundtrack?

Renovating what will become The Teenager’s new bedroom and with the floor up and no furniture it has AMAZING thumpy bassy acoustics. Sorry neighbours, hope you like early 00s EBM!

RELAX don’t do it when you wanna post through it

No strong views on this except that “The Saint” by Orbital should be bottom of the list, extremely terrible way to end a great album therunoutgrooves.substack.com/p/readers-po...

I had the honor of photographing Jane Goodall who was wonderful. After the shoot, her asst was by us setting up for an interview. I said how great she looked for her age. He said it's the whiskey. I said what? He said yeah, she has a glass each evening. I asked her usual and he said black label. RIP

This is very depressing news ra.co/news/83682

Also in "things you only ever see at psytrance parties": last night some dude had a tattoo on his neck of what I later worked out was the expression for the Schmidt decomposition of a wavefunction. I asked him about it and he said "yeah it's about quantum entanglement but I don't understand it!"

One thing I’ll say about raves is that the quality of topless men has improved significantly in the last twenty years

A different choice of flow state tonight

London needs a term for what New Yorkers call “the bridge and tunnel crowd”. “People who faff around at tube gates and walk too slowly” doesn’t quite cut it.

Quite chuffed that the bot gave me enough of a heads-up that I got to see the Waverley go past! (The Dixie Queen goes through quite often but is A FAKE; the Waverley is the real deal)

British government have any understanding of Northern Ireland politics Challenge - difficulty: Impossible

Last day in the water; waves weren’t great in the afternoon but a seal came up to me and said hello! I said hello back and it peered at me then swam away again.

Saw someone hang ten this morning - clearly some form of powerful witchcraft.

Today was initially a bit of a struggle despite excellent conditions, until I realised I was putting my hands too far forward on the board. Stick them lower, just above the hips, and suddenly WHOOSH every wave I want is catchable, every one a ride home on the magic carpet

I think surfing gives me more vivid Tetris dreams than actual Tetris does. It’s ~5h since I was in the water but if I close my eyes I can still see the waves rolling up towards me, I can see them curling at the top (gogogogo paddle!) and I can feel myself bob up and down as each one goes past.

raving surfing 🤝 caught some banging sets and now i need to go sleep for like a million years

Few things feel like an instant vindication of ones life choices as much as going out in the morning and catching a really big fucking wave and riding it all the way home

Back of the envelope says that if a year’s electricity consumption is 3.8MWh you’d need a battery system the size of a shipping container to store it.. or about £500 worth of petrol in a half-cubic-metre tank. Fossil fuels are stupidly energy-dense!

If anyone was wondering what was going on with the sea level in the St Ives bay, most of the water was in my sinuses until very suddenly about 10 mins ago.

Just been past somewhere called Trethingey, so am now on the lookout for Penwossname

No surfing today because red flag, but we do get some entertainingly dramatic sea instead

In fairness I used to play Iszoloscope to lull him to sleep

I have just played Merzbow’s “Woodpecker No. 1“ to The Teenager and he said he “kinda liked it, in a way”; I’ve never felt so proud

Wow, a Hoxton fin, not seen one of those in years

“Maybe if i spend 9 months going down the gym regularly and get a little bit of upper body strength, i might suck at this very slightly less” lol lmao nope. Although to be fair everyone else was struggling to get out to the break as well; I guess the fact there were hardly any locals out was A Sign.

An enthusiastic wet dog who’s vastly stronger than you and who knocks you over without a thought and chucks you two hundred yards down the beach, then sits there wagging expectantly as you struggle to get to your feet

I’m not generally a fan of household appliances having touchscreen/app interfaces, but I’ll take them over whatever the hell this is

TFW you get to Cornwall and the sea bounds up to greet you like an enthusiastic wet dog who’s not seen you for a whole year

Mad props to @dracos.co.uk for making the one website on the planet that actually deals gracefully with the network dropping as you go underground

I haven’t listened to Campag Velocet in multiple decades, but I still think of them every time someone goes past with one of those stupidly noisy freehubs
