Very much my own views etc… Toots don't last forever, nothing does.

Making The Most Of by Dodgy is living in my head this morning. Good tune. I’m happy with this.

To be fair, Oasis are a pretty solid Slade tribute act.

My greatest professional accomplishment of the year: I got my exec & manager teammates saying "point positive," a term from whitewater rafting and kayaking.

Meaning: when facing hazards, point people toward where to go/what to do, rather than drawing attention to everything to avoid.

The Outlook for Easter

In the car boot I have a Waltham Tv radio cassette thing… I don’t really know why. A friend was clearing the mountain of junk from a house he bought and I couldn’t bare to see it chucked in the skip. I have no use for it. It may not work. It’s neither aesthetically pleasing nor particularly useful. And yet…. There it is.

At a party at our house once, a friend's daughter remarked to him how cool it was that our stereo had a thing on top that made it look like it was playing a vinyl record, and he blew her mind by explaining to her that in fact it was playing a vinyl record and that's where the music they were hearing was coming from.

Anthropic: "You have no idea what's coming. And neither do we. We literally have no idea how any of this works. Our source-code looks like something you'd be embarrassed to present as a GCSE assignment"

Remember when a “legitimate argument” peddled against #EVs was the power grid would fail? Too much strain? Oh WOE be to the power lines! Grandma will DIE in her home in August because YOU plugged in!

Yet suddenly we are full steam ahead building #datacenters the size of Manhattan to make banana pics. #AI #slop. And the electric demand will be colossal and constant.

Society and the world needs to stop being fooled and corralled by interests that don’t care about you.
