"I'd try to patch things up with her, but I need the eggs."

I'm sure it will go as swimmingly well as all previous US interventions.

The mind of a cat. Who knows?

Ours loves to drop them in his water fountain.

The trouble with having a few nights of being awake in the middle of the night is that next time you wake up, briefly, you'll start to worry that it's going to be an extended time awake.

I know I'm not helping. I've just been dealing with this recently.

I'm sorry, Manda. You don't deserve this. x

However, I can think of a few people who -do- deserve it. Let's do a transfer.

Just shilling for big fur.

In retrospect, I should have just posted this.

I wheeled that one out multiple times when @hugeshark.bsky.social and I were watching Star Trek TNG.

I believe the convention is that if he says 'Cap'n' you're meant to say 'What?'

An excellent article on resisting AI in schools:

“It took software developers in an METR study who used AI tools 19 percent more time to do their work. Nevertheless, because they expected to save time, they believed their work had been sped up by 20 percent.”

I'm going to be listening to Pink on my morning walk.

It was a lovely service.

He said how much he was enjoying the collaboration.

Today we say goodbye to the very best of us, and we will all feel his loss for many years to come. Over the last 2 years especially, he had become one of my closest confidants and dearest friends, and I will greatly miss his wisdom and comfort.
Mind how you go, mate. You'll always be fridge to me.

It was a lovely service. We're with you in spirit.

I Love My Man

You're still gorgeous and funny as hell. Revel in it!

You did give me a very nice suitcase. Though I'm wondering now if there was a subtle message there.

We're thinking of you and wishing you all well. Love and hugs to you. ❤️

Hi Mary!

Terrible circumstances, but Merry Christmas anyway to you! I hope you've got something nice going on today. x

It is worth noting how many of the days in the Twelve Days of Christmas carol involve birds.

Small steps and take care of business, I guess.

I hope it goes well.

Love and hugs to you.

Do you have the kids at home?

What's on your plate for today?

Hi Mary. * hugs *

That network he helped to build lives on.

One of the last conversations we had with Michael on BlueSky was him talking about the things he regretted not doing enough of. We said we'd carry on doing them in his memory.

Staying close to those we love, and this lovely group of people, is in there.

We saw Michael, @wombat37.bsky.social, June this year. It was a lovely visit. He talked about his writing and how much he enjoyed collaborating on his writing. That it took him into another world.

I'm sorry, Mary. I'm glad you could be there with him. He was a lovely bloke.

I'm sorry. I don't have words.

Love to you. x
