Have been reading Laura Bates book on AI & feminism which is just as well written and depressing as I thought it would be. For example - A visitor to a sexbot brothel was compelled to try to create a second anus in his robot prostitute by bashing a hole in by himself
I'm in the UK and the first I heard of him was that he'd been killed. The media coverage (including sacking the talk show guy) is just bewildering to me
Not just Unpopular! He's also the Most Unworthy-Unqualified-Unethical-Uneducated-Unprepared-Undemocratic-Unfortunate-Unhinged-Unjust-Unread-Unappealing-Unconscionable-Untrustworthy-Unscrupulous-Unstable-Unbearable-Unlikable-Unreliable-Unsound & Unctuous President in Modern American History. 🇺🇸 🙄
Stephen Fry and Nick Mohammed are among the celebrities in Celebrity Traitors www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...
While I've been off work with these seizures I've become mildly obsessed with The Traitors - and today discovered foreign versions on the iPlayer. More rabbit holes for me to fall down...
Anyone else read Katabasis? I'm not sure I'm in the right headspace for it right now but really like the sound of it...
So will be teaching my wife Twilight Struggle to my surprise. She found Patchwork "a bit confusing". See how this pans out... #boardgames
Woke up last night thinking I was having that sleep paralysis thing but actually it was just cats sleeping on top of me
Been continuing with learning Twilight Struggle, the card game that makes the Cold War fun for all the family.
It's such a fascinating, frightening and weird period of history. Something future generations will no doubt say about now I suppose
I've never had an arch-enemy and am almost jealous of the 6% now
Had my psychological capability assessment today - it was like the most boring escape room ever
Good luck - my wife has spent 12 years controlling her bipolar with various drugs and she's been fine for the last 4 or so. Her hypomania is terrifying to behold but her depressive bouts were more common.
(And yeah, rule number one when we hit Hypomania Defcon 1 was phone confiscation)
I know I shouldn't begrudge spending time with my son but 6 weeks for the school holidays is an epic amount of time. It's the annual marathon of parenthood
Had a nice birthday meal at this Indian restaurant called Kiplings in Apperly Bridge with the wife. It was nice to enjoy each others company not being on parent duty
The worst single-day crime spree in modern Washington history, of course, took place on Jan. 6, 2021. Trump issued no order to the National Guard to intervene -- Mike Pence did -- and later pardoned the perpetrators.
I'm reading it now, it's really very good - it's the book I read on my phone while I sit with my son waiting for him to sleep!
Somebody on LinkedIn said what we're all thinking.
Why does Vladimir Putin look like he’s just chalked his cue while pondering how to get back on the black after potting a tricky red to the far corner?
Been playing #TwilightStruggle on the app -think this is my third time of trying to learn it and I've actually got the hang of it this time
The Muppet Show makes so much more sense when you realize Statler and Waldorf are Vladamir and Estragon (i.e. Bill and Ted) from Waiting for Godot.

Mine is the classic song by the English band The Fall youtu.be/Qfu-jB7Kxoc?...
Why did Elon Musk leave South Africa? Because it became too woke
@robdontstop69 on Twitter: "I got punched in the face tonight because I gave a cybertruck. I feel bad for that guy. I tried to hug him after. That didn't go well 😂😂😂"
You can cope all you want and say it's "normal" to own a cybertruck but the words "I got punched in the face tonight because I have a Ford focus" have never formed in brain
Happy Presidents Day
I have got through the first day of half-term. Is it cheating if your mum's come to help?
#Xcom 2 on my tablet at nights has been my winding down and relaxing time. Switched things up and started a run on second hardest difficulty - no longer relaxing, so much failure and death instead

There's others who similarly play scammers along (not romance necessarily) and post the results up. Some are not at all subtle, others I could totally understand why people would bite.
