But you can call me Log. I run a lovely inclusive pub in Nottingham and do an absolutely gorgeous podcast called Regular Features with my friends. Wrote about video games for a bit. G with the LBTQ+

Just remembered that I saw a flyer for a fat ABBA tribute band called FLABBA today. Wanted to record this vital memory before sleep reorders my brain into some useless bullshit again

Finally I understand why Ron Swanson laughed and cried at that strawberry, in The Last Of Us. I just had the same reaction. I laughed because it’s a stupid tiny strawberry for babies. And I cried because I wanted a bigger strawberry

An outstretched palm containing the tiniest strawberry you ever did see

I’m going to Asda today, with a barcode I’ve been WhatsApped by a customer. He says “the immigrants are using it to get steak for 50p”. He used it to buy 16 steaks and I’m really curious as to how it all works, what the barcode is actually for. Hate to hear this garbage from people I like

Reading this 1982 comedy book about gay masculinity and the phrase “someone has to maul your tits to the brink of disaster” has stopped me dead, imagining the narrowly avoided disaster

A copy of The Butch Manual by Clark Henley. The cover features a muscular guy doing bicep curls in high heels and looking pained. The colour correction of the iPhone has made our maroon feature wall look pink

Just lost a game of Yahtzee in which I rolled two Yahtzees, and now my enemy is singing about the inefficiency of my flamboyant style, and regaling me with the tale of The Tortoise and the Hare

Great news for me! I have got a big lava lamp. I’m not interested in the classic bloopy wormballs stage so much, I’m mainly into the column of tortured souls effect when heated wax over-ambitiously launches itself into the still cool water. Check out this nasty brain! What a treat

A close up of an orange and yellow lava lamp doing what I described in the tweet. It looks like a brain with t-Rex arms trying to clap

The Nottingham Campus of Oxford Business School have replaced their branded signs with these profoundly meaningless genAI billboards. Is Oxford Business School a scam? I never see anyone going in or out. But they’ve got adverts on busses. How does world work? Is anything real. Hello

A sign headlined “AI Knowledge Park”

Three pictures show typical aspirational buildings, with telltale signs of generative AI, such as a large glass coffee shop called THE NOTMGNGAM BLEND. 

At the bottom is this profoundly meaningless and context free sales pitch, which has a strong honk of LLM

I am currently £3,900 in credit with BT because I signed a 3 year contract for a £40/month service, they tried charging me £150/month, and the only resolution available to this very large company with big computers was to give me 36 lots of £110 back and ask if they could close the complaint

I come back to the pub to discover the quiz team that won the Daewoo Foot Spa did NOT take it home. I may have underestimated the low appeal of a charity shop foot spa. Maybe I shouldn’t have said “they were probably found dead in that”. Lessons to be learned
