I’m that guy that looks just like this that did that tweet that made you laugh that one time. UK based.

Today I was in that London and it looked amazing

I do believe a very awkward conversation is going to be had where the company asks me to do my old job again. Getting lots of emails with the theme of “but who can do this now?” And “but without you Doing this we will fail”

Over the weekend I was doing a school charity thing and one particularly loud & slightly annoying child bowled up to me and demanded I tell them where their daddy was.

Some say the wind isn’t a reliable source of energy in New Zealand. The wind:

I feel like this depressing milestone in British politics had been telegraphed to us almost years ago:

Whisper it quietly but I’m on a panel with someone tomorrow who excitedly declared AI would be devastating to second world economies as it would put call centres out of business. My dude. My fucking dude. I am coming for you on general principle as someone who believes AI could do good not bad.

My 6 year old starting laughing in his sleep. Not his normal laugh but a huge mouthed laugh that sounds like a baby seagull trying to swallow a very big sardine & let me tell you it was a horrific episode to run in to find him sat upright, eyes wide open giving this laugh

Not a great day in my universe: new job screws up my pay for second month despite being given insurrections on what they had to look out for. Also new job trying to redefine my job scope. Once again going back to everything in writing

My boys won nearly everything they competed in at sports day and now I feel somehow I need to up my game in response!

Personal soppy story time: Went to my boys school today to do the “Father’s Day VIP lunch”. The catering for our kids school is really not great, so I took a packed lunch & so do my kids.

@elizabethammon.bsky.social HELLO!

So for those people following me here from twitter I’m just going to give a simple rule: You call me a cunt, or swear in any way at me: I will respond in kind. If you are thinking it’s LOLZ to cheer this on then I will take note of this.

Everyone needs an editor

Might have lost my mind in the twitter place and upset people. Racism & bigotry is never fucking political capital folks. Getting very bored of it.

Her “Don’t you think it’s weird you exchange messages with men and women privately online you don’t really know? Don’t you think that’s weird. Would you think it’s weird if I did that?” Me “You should try it. You laugh at stupid shit online without judgement.”

This pigeon had a side quest for me

Trump is just gonna one day peel his latex mask face off and we find a supposedly dead Morgan Spurlock underneath spluttering an apology about how everything just got out of hand

It's weird how "working on your laptop" has been such a perennial image of status and happiness. I've done it a lot and it sort of blows

Started watching a YouTube documentary about that Star Wars hotel and it was COMPELLING

I learned about this 18 months ago. Fundamentally the US power grid.. isn’t Great

Do most people realize this? "There is more electricity from solar power alone waiting to get on the grid than the entire amount of energy currently on the grid."

Almost have my beach body ready to go. A few more stitches, a cadaver brain, and 20,000 volts, then we'll be ready to hit the waves.
