Idea: a power bank approximately the size and shape of a laptop. That'd be easy to carry with your laptop and allow you to work longer if you can't plugin.

Story of my life. Never quite did the thing.

My mother and my sister have both said "I won't talk about your divorce". That's probably a very good explanation of why I am the way I am. In this family if a man faces anything tough, we don't talk about it and we make him feel bad.

When I first read this when I was younger I hought it funny. Now that I've lived in Wales, it's accurate.

Douglas Adams said this in 2009. But I never met him so I'm really confused how he got me so right.

Always happy to see increased voter turnout!

So. Much. Pain 😢

Fighting for #NewWest means knowing when to raise your voice, and knowing when to sit down with partners and do the work. It’s not about the Lights and Cameras - it’s about the Action. And the results on the ground. @communityfirstnw.bsky.social

Brutal pain tonight :(

I think... I am going to like this place.

I'm leaving on a jet plane, not surw when I'll be back again... Why don't you pack your bags and leave with me tonight... *There's an awesome punk cover of this song.

Ladies and gentlemen a big round of applause for the Aberystwyth Hippies...

Wild, horrible world we live in where you can't be gay but you can be a Nazi. I'm genuinely in a bit of disbelief :(

New: As gay bars across the country say that Meta is flagging and deactivating their accounts without warning, I spoke to an Austin queer bar that says Meta nearly destroyed their ability to advertise events: www.chron.com/culture/arti...

FFS… Is it really an accident anymore at this point?

Checking in for a Ryan Air flight, it's a bit cheeky for the airline to offer cancellation insurance.

Humans matter MORE in the AI world. The fact AI has been proven to lie (hallucinate) and tell us what we want to hear is precisely why we need to lend more credibility to legitimate sources. Imagine reading an article written while the journalist was on LSD!

Thus Al Gore titled his film An Inconvenient Truth, because the truth and solutions are inconvenient and unpopular.

My former mayor once told me: “people hate all the problems in this town. The only thing they hate more are the solutions to those problems.”

@tyrowo.com thanks for following, sounds like you and I are very similar. #CatsAndCode...

This cat just lounge's in this basket all day everyday.

‘Listen!’ said Roosta urgently. ‘You can kill a man, destroy his body, break his spirit, but only the Total Perspective Vortex [or marriage] can annihilate a man’s soul! The treatment lasts seconds, but the effects last the rest of your life!’

FYI, AI fanboys struggle with simple reading (likely a symptom of having everything summarized and read out loud to them by AI).

This is the funniest thing I've seen today, possibly ever

Ah! It's not that AI is ever wrong or inaccurate. The issue is simply that life is neither artificial enough or intelligent enough.

I wrote this 3yr ago! But never shared with anyone, not even my wife.

I just understood "mosquitoes are finished" so I guess I am learning the language!

Idea for a tattoo to remember this time in my life: A line on my arm with arrows on either end. "Forward" in Sicilian above the line, "backward" in Sicilian below the line. Being on the arm it signifies that anywhere is forward or backward depending where you look or point.
