I read this wordplay thing when I was a kid (Gardner? Lederer?) about a old man who goes to see his curate nephew preach a sermon & has a heart attack when he glances at the scribbled notes and reads “Uncle and I shall owe devil” — mis-spacing “Unclean, dishallowed evil.” I think about this A LOT—

So someone asked me to retell the story of the old lady that told me about killing her husband. Are we ready for a trip back in time to 1999? Some of you already know this story, but if you don't it is a wild ride. Apply all appropriate trigger warnings!

Someone just ran up to me in the street and tried to intimidate me with a hardback copy of Heidegger's Being and Time - I'm so sick and tired of these existential threats.

City Hall station, New York. This Art Nouveau metro station was closed on December 31, 1945
It gets regular maintenance to guard against things like water damage & vandalism but it's unused because the new subway trains are too long for the platform
Once or twice a year, railfan groups give tours.

So far I’ve been in AI sceptic but I’ve just been impressed. I needed a shortcut to do a job on my phone and I am not familiar with the names of the things you use to make shortcuts.
I asked ChatGPT how to do the job and it told me exactly how to do it. First time. No errors.

If you're an anglophile or a railway enthusiast, you may enjoy this video about a railway section that uses 19th C tech for signalling yet provides trains that connect to central London within 45 minutes.
I live two minutes from one of the stations featured.

POEM TEXT:
“And listen, mate...” a hand on your shoulder.
“Don’t be drinking all that Smirnoff.”
You loosen as he clears his throat.
His softened tone a lighthouse.

Shortly after I started in my first job, my boss told me to look for something in the Eye Tripoli. It took me (a physics graduate) days to work out that he meant the journal of the IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers)

Remembrance Sunday, 2024. I have played the Last Post at the war memorial for my small town this day every year for the last 25+ years. I have always played it with anger foremost, followed by despair, followed by grief. The utter waste of conflict.
