Listening, through headphones, to a prog metal band that I haven't heard before. Thought they were doing something quite unusual with a melody, but it turns out a Mr Whippy van was going past my house.

Anti-trans activists say the UK Supreme Court ruling is a "win for biology".
But, biology doesn't "win". Biology is amoral. It doesn't have thoughts. We don't study biology to marvel at its immutability.
We study biology to learn how we can improve life.

I've been watching The Traitors recently. Trying to work out if the round table is getting smaller each episode - feels like someone is sanding it down every day while the contestants are out doing their little tasks.

I was picking up a parcel from the Post Office this morning. Someone ahead of me ordered a 3 inch Darth Vader figure, but a 3 foot Darth Vader showed up. It was making a muffled breathing noise from inside the cardboard box. Happy December everyone.

On the train to Lille for a weekend with friends! Looking at things to do - there is a top-rated activity in an alleyway and I have no idea what it is. Help me figure this out?

Running low on the chocolate-covered stroopwaffles that I bought from Caenarfon in September. What's the general threshold for an emergency road trip these days.
