Bought two tins of soup this week. Just in case. #Prepping
They look slightly surprised at being discarded. Made me think.

Why did they not show the scheduled episode of University Challenge? (NO CONFERRING)
Just read a Wikipedia entry for an artist and was trying to imagine the working class backgrounded version. ‘Showed great promise with art at school, but had to get a job at Aviva, worked their way up to team leader over 25 years, got made redundant, worked for a charity for 15 years.
Looking at sofas I can't afford and have no intention of buying. How's your Sunday going?
![Scene is TWO PHONES on a bedside table at night, on charge. TIn the bed is a HUMAN COUPLE, fast asleep. The phones are talking to each other.

PHONE 2:

PHONE 1:
I mean... you know the other day when we were chatting about their personal data with - oh who was it...
PHONE 2:
The Russian government
PHONE 1:
That's right
Well like, ten minutes after that, my human switched me on and started serving me loads more personal data!
PHONE 2:
Oh god that's spooky
PHONE 1:
Yeah - I mean, how did he know I'm into personal data?
PHONE 2:
It's totally your favourite thing
PHONE 1:
And it was super tailored, you know? Like, lately, I've got really into facial biometric mapping for shadowy foreign entities...
PHONE 2:
That is so on trend
PHONE 1:
And like, straight away he's bombarding me with pictures of his face!
PHONE 2:
It's like Black Mirror
PHONE 1:
I mean, I'd get rid of him but I'm addicted, you know?

‘I hope my tablet finds you well’
Damon Young@damonyoung.com.au · 3w agoThis Finnish guy has been teaching himself Sumerian, and sent a cuneiform tablet to the British Museum to check his progress. They just emailed him that they've sent him something in the post. I'm now thrilled and excited for a total stranger! Clay tablet mail! www.reddit.com/r/Cuneiform/...
