Anyone else pissed off at Bluesky's age verification process? I was at least hoping to have to update some proof of age, etc. Instead, it scanned my face for about 0.2 of a second and correctly deduced that I am in fact pretty old. Fuming.

Apparently it’s a Bank Holiday in Scotland today. As I’m a quarter Scottish, it made sense to stop work at 3.00 and instead look for some new running shoes.

Weeks after my youngest daughter moved out, my eldest daughter had an offer accepted on a flat today. Does anyone know if this means the wife and I are going to have to start talking to each again soon?

After five months of growing it, I’ve shaved the beard off today. I was going for the Viking look, but have accepted I ended up looking more like Uncle Albert from Only Fools and Horses.

I'm definitely getting too reliant on ChatGPT to get through the day. I just asked it why I was such a useless turd in the afternoons at work and its suggestions were both practical and welcome.

#parkrun Pacer Day today. Was meant to be pacing 31 and was bang on until the last 100 yds, when I got distracted by whether I had run out of gin for tonight. So 31:03 was my finishing time.

How can a deal on minerals give Ukraine the "right to fight on"? Perhaps another country invading their land should be enough non. Feel sorry also for the good people of America - Trump is an embarrassment.
