How marvelous to see @chess.com cares so much about my blindness. I’ve been nagging them about accessibility for 18 months, and it’s only been getting worse. I could take them to court at this point but frankly I haven’t the spoons yet. #a11y #chess

I started writing this in my head shortly after some of my relatives went full maga and down the sudo science pipe. I’ve not got enough time to work on songs every day so here’s a small clip, still very unfinished.

£14/month and they go brick the app’s main features for me. Thanks a million @chess.com

I’m done asking you to take this seriously in private. I had it in writing you’d take this seriously, and that accessibility would be better going forward. You lied, plain and simple.

Rusty Monday morning jam

I’m normally a deeper snare kinda guy but this head is already on its way out so what the hell, do me right, make it tight. Now please excuse me while I go back to end of year accounts 🙃😭

Stupid? Also yes.

Worth it? F*ck yes 😀

Chess is one hell of a drug

@monzo.com casually pressuring me into 5x-ing my credit with a limited time offer.

Tell me, if my credit is good enough you’ll 5x what you’ll lend to me, why won’t you do it on the 21st? This feels sus AF.

AI thinks mozzarella is WHAT now?

Also what with the eggs. If anyone who knows why a model designed to recognise patterns was asked to make a shopping list didn’t spot several items of eggs and condense that down to 6 eggs, I’d love to know.

Bad combination, I got annoyed and bored at some point, so I started working on an album. Well, a song, but now there be many.

Working title for the lot is Drown The World In 80 Graves.

So I guess it’s on me to get this all out before we ummm, do that.
