Bernard the chihuahua seems to like the @adambecker.bsky.social book as much as I do. Apparently he finds tech bro dipshits quite soothing.

The 2023 Reddit logo update is apparently “sleeker and more professional” than the old one. Somehow I’d never noticed the alien dude has five o’clock shadow and glassy eyes. He looks like someone who has spent too much time reading Reddit.

Today, London is hot. I can tell because of my sheen of sweat, disinclination to do anything, and the fact that Bernard is posing like a fucking model on the picnic table.

I had to amend the sign my wife put on our bedroom door, using a Sharpie.

Bernard is now six months old, and no longer looks like he has scrofula. This pleases me. #dog #chihuahua #idiot

Had a lovely day today, putting things in frames and sticking them to the walls. That's it, really.

Went to the countryside for a while to visit family. On the first day, a random woman at Costa started proselytising Reform UK and "taking our country back", but that's the countryside for you. On the up side, Bernard used a puddle as a bidet, which was quite funny. #dogs #racists #trees

Bernard's adventures continue. We took him for his first ever walk, in Hyde Park, and he seemed to enjoy it. He's definitely the reason why my social battery lapel badge is in the green now. #dog

Bernard had his first trip to Kensington Gardens today, where he was fussed over by lots of lovely people. Then an awful woman sat near us and started abusing an Arabic man in a ghutrah and robe for not speaking English. We called her a vile cunt and she left.
