Dentist today. Got told a dental x-ray has the same amount of radiation as 5 bananas.
You trolling me, Mrs Dentist? 😆

Day off. I have:
1. Been to the gym
2. Swept and weeded the front yard, including gently relocating a worm and 3 large spiders (with verbal apology) - not sure how long it took but at least 2 episodes of 'Deadly Women' through the headphones
3. Wondered why I bothered going to the gym

Dear people of my friends list, I present to you, my lovely partner:
Pete: "I have a muscle injury here" *points at part of hand*
Me: "if it's there, you have a TENDON injury"
Pete: "I have a tendon injury..."
...
Pete: "It's now a TEN DON'T"
😀

Event also had face-painting, giant bubble-blowing pink fairy, old people dancing, drag queen, old people dancing *with* drag queen, sun but monsoon-level rain at intervals, a blingy local mayor, take-home freebies. Lovely day!

What stock cubes do you use please thank you?
The shop no longer sells the stock cubes I like; they were low salt. I now have ordinary (all the salt) and NO salt (first ingredient: sugar) - they're both horrible. I've been using half and half.
Nom carrot, coriander, and chickpea soup though.

Causing poor people to be poorer and then blaming them for being poor
Funding war and then blaming those who flee it
Pointing at drag queens and trans people when so many of the very pointing fingers are guilty
Better keep going to the gym... I want to live long enough to see it swing back

For avoidance of any doubt, I am absolutely fine btw. I'm up a bit late but I wanted a cuppa tea (hippy tea not builders) and am halfway through making the lovely @beeblepete.bsky.social one too. Just WTAF? And please remind me, on any occasion that you can, that the world can and could do better

But I feel massively helpless and incompetent in the face of all the crap going on in the world and just how very, very dreadful far right politics and ignorance can be and how so very widespread. Was the world kinder when I was growing up? or was that an illusion because I had kind parents?

As I'm getting so much older, I've genuinely feeling happier with how my life is going - accepting the me that so many people have thought some kind of weirdo - definitely not alone in that, I could draw a circle around most of you and you've been there in your own ways

I could do a less demanding job for more money but with the loss of the creativity, connection with real people, and the constant learning curve there would go the very essence of me, wailing and hating the 9-5. Rather be on a writing retreat than on a yacht or a beach - there's more by the way

It's not that I'm not greedy or selfish, or that I don't want anything material... it's that I want some different things and in different ways than some other people seem to want them. I have zero interest in being a tourist but love to experience even the least exotic homes from home with family.

This is indeed excellent, and makes a number of points I’ve been making for some time about artificial intelligence, human thought, and why AGI is likely not possible.
