That's the week of nights done then. What a grim collection of disruptive shifts they were! ๐ Oh well, up early today to go cinema then got a few days to chill with the doggos before I'm back for a week of lates. Hope you all have a lovely Wednesday!

The extract is just as readable, snappy and witty as you'd expect from Russ. Cannot wait to read the rest when the book releases! ๐
Why do dogs eat rotting pigeons, roll in disgusting heaps, and generally behave like theyโve been raised by maniacs with head injuries? "The Wolf That Chews Rocks" has answers. It also has fox shit. Read an excerpt and apply to become an early reader. #BookSky thewolfthatchewsrocks.com
#TheYearInReform Look, it's very simple. Nothing to see here. Move along. Reform UK is a party - sorry - a company built around British Patriotism and being frank with the public, and it is led by straight-talking anti-elite Nigel Farage.
Just one shift where it isn't either me walking into chaos, or it all descending into shit, that's all I'd like. 5 shifts down out of 7 and every one has been a shambles ๐ฉ (the railway has already fallen to pieces and I'm not even in work yet - waiting for my 50 min late train atm. Keep smiling! ๐)
Thankfully, this Tory tainted tripe is locked behind a paywall subscription, so I can't read it. Probably best for my blood pressure, if I'm honest.
๐ As inept, ill-informed rail news articles go this from The Times is hard to beat. Train crew working hours she's never known are 'pampered' with an 04:37 taxi to a remote siding.. "Train operators spend ยฃ13m on taxis for their own staff." โฌ๏ธ๐ www.thetimes.com/uk/transport...
Oh no. Charity shops have started to realise there is quite a market for second hand CDs... Damn. Also Elton John Songs From The West Coast and Boyzone By Request album jump scares in the background. Yes, I'm sad. ๐
Charity shops have gone insane.
I work at a public library. People who want to use AI seem to have no trouble doing so. People who don't want to use AI have a harder time. I crowdsourced and then finalized this document "How to disable or avoid intrusive AI" and then gave it a short URL: notoai.org Please pass along if it's useful
Today's album on the commute into work is 2002s 'Waiting For My Rocket To Come' by Jason Mraz. My copy was great value at ยฃ13.99 from HMV as it's still being played 24 years later!

New from 404 Media: Google Earth has introduced an AI feature that lets anyone fabricate completely bullshit satellite images. In our own tests, we added a โbomb blast and craterโ to an area of Los Angeles. This is a misinformation time bomb, will 100% be abused www.404media.co/google-earth...
It's typical this Suffolk wildfire is getting so much coverage by the BBC having been going for 36hrs, covering an area of 150 hectares. Meanwhile there's radio silence about the one up in the Peak District that has been burning since June 24th covering an area larger than Hadfield (600+ hectares)
On my Dad's side, I'd work in a mine and then become a cook in the RAF (based in Aden), or on my Mom's side I'd leaving school wanting to be a local journalist and writer but be forced into work in a Drop Forge instead.
Enough โwhat would you do on the commune questionsโ If you got sent back 100 years and were given your grandparentโs job, what are you doing?

2016 -> 2026 Less hair (usually hidden under a cap but taken off especially for this!) but otherwise, it's me.
Shining in the gloom, the first of the refurbished Voyager fleet, 220033, stands waiting time on Platform 5 at Sheffield Midland, working CrossCountry's 1V91 (1434 Newcastle - Reading) on Tuesday 28 July 2026.
Quite liked this pic. That is all.
If you use generative AI to do traditional creative work you are going to do bad work and people will make fun of you for it. Just a little tip
I get to visit all the best places ๐
We've really got to stop public figures over 80 having any influence over the country's future. They're not in it.
Cleethorpes obviously not meant to happen. First connection bust because train 1 is late. Second connection dying fast because new train 2 is 30 mins late and not even in Manchester (if it were on time I'd have an hour in Sheffield, I'm not spending 90 mins here) New ideas from Sheffield please. ๐
Unpopular opinion maybe, but PLEASE stop contributing to destroying our planet with the production of this pointless, unfunny slop for no good reason! You can see in the news we're fucked as it is, we don't need to speed run climate change.
Coming to a village hall near you soon.
I'm about to not make friends, I think
