Another blow to #ReformUK in yesterday's by-election. Keep them coming!

A Gen-Z guy I work with: “why do you read so much?”

Me: “because I want to spend as little time in the real word as possible.”

I've done it again. I've amassed a shed-load of notes and to-do's for my #conlangs and they're completely unorganised, some contradict others, and some are alluding to other ideas long forgotten – missed opportunities, no doubt! But I need a good amount of time – a week, so I can go through and work it all out because a few stolen hours here and there won't do. How I suffer for my art 😅.

Jesus Christ… what will it take for the Monarchy to die in this country? Self-entitled, justice-evading, money-wasting scroungers who do absolutely nothing for the UK.

So, because I’m some sort of masochist, I’ve decided to add a fourth #conlang to my conlang-family project. So the PQL family is now the PQLE family.

If you’re interested these are just placeholder names based on their natlang inspirations: P (Brythonic); Q (Goidelic); L (Latin) and now E (Old English).

I’ve spent today working out some of the sound changes needed to arrive at an OE sounding conlang, mostly with success.

What more does #Trump need to do before Americans say “enough”? The man is not fit to lead a country. Posting blatantly disgusting racist images of a former president seems like presidential behaviour?

Just watched #Sinners. It’s a good film, no doubt; but I’m struggling to see how it’s worthy of 16 Oscar nominations. It owes a lot to ‘From Dusk till Dawn’. The soundtrack is great - one of the best I’ve heard in a while.

It would also mean that pretty much everyone in Wales would have a national park on their doorstep. How many other countries have that?

I think I’m in favour of the proposed Glyndŵr National Park. Yeah, it’ll scupper some planning arrangements but having the Dee Valley and Clwydian Range promoted from AONB to a National Park would be good for the local tourist economy.
