Don't forget that the first image of a black hole was calculated using 1,960 punch cards and then hand-plotted by French astrophysicist Jean-Pierre Luminet in 1978. ...and Jean-Pierre Luminet WAS RIGHT.

Started watching Walking Dead for the first time and because I have been terminally online for forever and a day I have been having fun correctly "guessing" what comes next, who's walking out of the woods, who's dying next, and who's where and why.

Derek runs a junk shop by day. By night he mans a stall on the banks of the Styx, where he trades the recently deceased two coins for whatever they've got in their pockets. Doesn't take much more than his mark having a good look at the dock, the ferryman, and the water before he's got a deal.

I should not need to prompt you to tell me each piece of the information that you are tasked with telling me, because it is your job to tell me the information because it is my job to act on that information. Just fucking tell me. Pissing me off like this is not doing you any favours.

Had a dream that @craigburley.bsky.social was misquoted in the press and I spent the rest of the dream increasingly distressed that his election campaign message was published as "Rent the Food Buses!" No one would listen. The world argued about the meaning. No one asked Craig to clarify.
Sitting at my desk, got everything booted up for work, phone by my keyboard so I can keep reading the thing I'm reading while I log in to stuff on the computer and get the first messages out. Then I think, oh, I need my phone so I can cue up my playlist. So I looked for my phone for 20 minutes...
I was feeling under the weather since last week. A little intestinal distress, some sleeplessness... The last night it hit with a vengeance and now I regret that as a human I have a tract and that tract can rebel. Now if you'll excuse me, my new best friend Bucket and I are going back to bed.

They're going to have to put up a sign-up sheet outside of 10 Downing and start a rota. Everyone gets two weeks and then you switch off with the next on the list.
So we've got "the man on the Clapham omnibus" and "the Binface in the Clacton by-election" as idioms for "a reasonable person".

They should make a "being alive" that isn't so fucking expensive.
This is so very true. I write a lot of things for publication both internally and externally and I read it out loud at least twice before I send a draft for review. It works. It helps. Do it.

People who complain that wikipedia has articles on things they consider "unworthy" or "silly" are tiresome nincompoops who lack whimsy and suck the joy out of everyone they get near.
id have infinitely more respect for you if I walked in on you sucking off a cop in a public restroom than seeing you on X in July 2026 posting arch commentary. at least you're getting something out of sucking off the cop, even if it is only pig semen

Today's fragrance is Vanilla Visions from Voluspa. Sugared vanilla, amber, and rum-soaked sandalwood. I smell like a really good bakery café. No cetalox with this one, it tends to be harsh with vanilla. The only other scent layered in is rosewater from a few regular skincare products I use.
photographing drummers is really hard, so i'm stoked that our photographer got a decent one of me in this weekend's studio session
