One day, I shall come back. Yes, I shall come back. Until then, there must be no regrets, no tears, no anxieties. Just go forward in all your beliefs, and prove to me that I am not mistaken in mine. Goodbye, Charlie Brown. Goodbye, my dear.
Being this is a .44 Magnum, the most powerful handgun in the world, and would blow your head clean off... You've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel lucky?' Well, do ya, Charlie Brown?

🎵We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we make it or not
We've got each other and that's a lot, for love,
We'll give it a shot.
Whoa, we're halfway there
Whoa-oh, livin' on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear

Today is #TransDayOfRemembrance. Trans people and their human rights are under attack around the globe. The Vagina Museum stands defiant against these attacks. We are a proudly trans inclusive space, even as discourse grows ever more toxic.

Anti-immigration hatred is being fuelled *again* by rhetoric & intended action by the UK government. It's drawing on an old fascist strategy, but there are ways to say "no".

Hands up if you've never used Chat GPT ✋
(I feel like Dozer and Tank in The Matrix right now - at first I didn't use it because, rather ironically, I'm lazy and stubborn (peak Taurus energy there) - literally no, don't make me use the new thing I don't wanna. Now I'm glad I didn't 😅)

Probably a good way to tell right now if the job you’re applying for is run by absolute dumbfucks is to ask if they’re using AI.

ION, our tenement stair lighting blew up the week before last, the electrician we called had a family emergency and was only able to get to us yesterday, and it turns out the only light that can't be temporarily fixed is the one on our landing, because no good deed goes unpunished.

Good morning, all! I have started the week by yeeting the toilet roll holder into the toilet, thereby drowning the toilet roll that was on said toilet roll holder.

I sat through a presentation on using AI to generate maths test questions - which is actually not the worst use - I was open minded. But the questions and matching answers displayed as examples were all wrong. They looked like maths questions but they were number salad.

As one of the commentators mentioned, it was a bit Sydney Olympics in the women's individual vault final. Felt very sorry for the gymnast, Deng Yalan, who missed her vault while still actually vaulting the vaulting horse/table with grace at top speed.*

Ate brunch at one of our favourite places this morning. One of the things I love there is the Italian language tape* playing in the loos. Just as I walked in the tape was repeating "with the refrigerator". It then changed topic so I've no idea what preceded that phrase.
