I had my cat for 18 years, I've had my son for 3. But it's my 7 month old daughter who is the first sentient being in my house to pull over a Christmas tree. She's been trying since it went up. She was so pleased with herself.

Bought a book Of history walks. Each Fleur de lis on the map is a walk...the East Midd is all but devoid of history it seems. Also, living just outside Leicester, I'm smack bang in the middle of this no man's land. (In a village filled with Templar History and the birthplace of Lord Macaulay)

Now Maisie is 3 months old I'm starting to get some free time. This evening that involved watching 3 hours of American Civil War docs whilst barely blinking. Forgot I haven't eaten since this morning. Rinse and repeat tomorrow.

My only IQ story is that I took a test on a Friday, played football on Sunday where I got kicked in the head, then retook the same test on the Monday and had lost two points. I've always assumed my IQ never recovered.
being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)
Coming around to the view that a certain kind of narcissist simply needs Musk to be a genius rather than a fraud, because they want to believe there’s a hereditary Brahmin class of accomplished, beautiful minds—and that they’re a part of that class.
