I’m under no obligation to make sense to you.

Surely I can’t be the only one who thinks that those “look at me talking into the camera saying things” people, look rather ridiculous holding that tiny eenyweeny microphone between their fingers. Like kids in front of a mirror using a crayon as a pretend mic… 😹

Ring is a wildly dangerous company. Always has been. But it has sort of flown under the radar the last couple years as it tried to soften its image. Make no mistake that this is an extremely dangerous surveillance dragnet:

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet
Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

Gave the motorbike a much needed wash and decided to take it for a ride. Glad I did, was a lovely little drive. Hoping to take it to work again tomorrow also, it might rain later in the week but I think temperatures will stay above freezing. Fed up with the traffic jams so I sure hope I can.

If a product is flawed and “not good for children” or “corrupting teen’s development”, but said kids and teens are going to want it anyway, maybe you should change the product, not trying to make it extra wanted by banning it.

Banning things, specially for teens, pushes those who want it, to go underground. A ban on social media removes the control, kids are still going to be there, but out of sight and in more danger than ever before.

Let me just take a moment in between things to mention that it is ridiculously cold. The only time it is allowed for it to be this fucking cold is when I’m in my cat sanctuary in a remote Swedish forest. In wintertime. Unacceptable. 😖🥶

Just finished sending out angry emails. I hate it. Trying to be polite yet not letting them run all over me. But I have to push back, sick and tired of being ignored, tricked or mistreated by people who just don’t give a fuck. 😫

Considering that the neighbour thinks the peace flag is from a satanic cult and my pride flag is “too much”, I wonder what she thinks of my new front door decoration. 😹😹

Been trying to think of a good way to make it possible to charge my motorbike’s battery without taking it apart, turns out that Yamaha already did that thinking and optionally included a winter storage drip charger, with plug. All I need is the right connector. (Already ordered.) 😺

Question for the #Saab / #Car #DIY #Mechanics - Replacing my 9-5 ‘s brakes (front and rear, discs and pads), rear hubs (bearings) and front bearings (have a press at work), doable on the street? As far as I know, no special tools needed?

#Neelix decided to take on the #Tibbles. He lost. Not just to him, but more so to me, as I made it clear who’s leader of the pack. 😹 Of course he knew, so he’s now sweetening me up on my lap. 😹😺😽

Gek hè. Altijd als ik negatief ben over een product en met een review dit wil laten weten aan andere potentiële kopers bij Bol punt com, krijg ik een “storing”. Vast en zeker heel toevallig. 🙄

YouTubeMusic really needs to do something about the volume variations between plays. Surely it shouldn’t be technically difficult to level the volume from one track to the next on a playlist? 🫤

This album by pianist Fabrizio Paterlini is amazing. He is a friend of mine and I love his work, he has played several styles and forms over the years. But this is different.

Just woke up out of a coma I think. After the stressful morning I had a lovely evening. Got home late and made me a hot chocolate with a good shot of Baileys, before going to bed. Didn’t sleep through the night but most of it and only just got up half an hour ago. 😴 I needed it after this last week.

This an old album of mine - 2011, but whatever sales I make from it go to Cancer Research, not that it sells much these days and it's pay what you want anyway. There is a track on there dedicated to a great friend who passed from Cancer whilst I was recording it - 'song for Lucy'.
