I’ve claimed that. The mountain that is, not the boat.
It’s a caldera don’t you know…

Built in 1975 as the MV 'Dayspring', this boat was wrecked in a storm in 2011 on the shores of Loch Linnhe, Scotland, near Fort William. Britain's highest mountain at 1,345 metres (4,413 ft), Ben Nevis makes for an arresting backdrop.

Watched the new Superman, wife hated it as it played into the modern tendency to show men as weak and pathetic and women as never happy and/or flawless.
I enjoyed it, but not as a Superman movie. Superdog was awesome!

“They’re gonna say I’m crazy no matter what, but like, go to TikTok. See for yourself. […] There’s no gravity on the moon. Why is the flag blowing? The shoes that they have in the museum that they wore on the moon is a different print in the photos. Why are there no stars?”"](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:ks3gpa6ftoyaq7hmf6c4qx4c/bafkreickzwdynkak7r4lur6afktglm3gontqsq5r5c7jeewyecyd4dczla@jpeg)

I was in NYC recently and was taken aback with the aisle upon aisle of stuff locked up.
Even low value items like toothpaste.
In one of the richest cities on the planet it all felt very dystopian.

I did a small amount of work on my Smalltalk thing last night.
It was fun, but I think I want to do something else now!
I like doing graphics, I like doing complex stuff in Rust.

After the Shakespeare workshop yesterday I spent a bit of time working on my Smalltalk concept language again. This time using Rust as the core and trying out some new ideas.
