For all struggling with Bleep: preorder via Bandcamp went without a hitch.

the Michael Jackson film rating gives parents stronger guidance about letting their kids spend time with the screen version than other parents had about letting their kids spend time with the actual person

by the way, what a kick in the teeth this is for the stonewall staff/volunteers who've been on the receiving end of abuse from the vicious online hate mob Rowling actively encourages

I'm not joking when I say mRNA technology is more important than "AI" and it's a tragedy we're throwing billions into one while our government is aggressively defunding the other.

Well I wasted my fucking time being vice chair of Stonewall’s Trans Advisory Group, didn’t I?

If you want me I’ll be on an Algarve beach.

Reminded of c 2004 being asked by a friend if he could fax me an email he'd been sent.

The concept of forwarding an email appeared to blow his mind somewhat.

Bonne nuit, Madame Brumby.

"You're a big existentialist, but you're in bad shape. With me, it's a full time job, although one would question the role as 'full time' due to the very notion of time being irrelevant. Now, behave yourself before I throw you off a multi-story voiture park..."

When Jean-Paul's oldest friend dies, he has to return to Paris - with dangerous consequences.

That's GET SARTRE, ITV 2 at 7.30pm.

There's still a market for the old wotsit then.

The illiberals do not always win.

I always say mrs bogl's glass is neither half-empty or half-full but cracked, dusty and containing only a dead spider.

“What’s the solution other than banning teens from the internet?” Build a world where a little gay kid maybe doesn’t think it’d be better to kill themselves rather than come out to their irl community. Might be a start but what do I know

Exciting!!

It's funny because it's true.

Sat at my mother-in-law's bedside. Not long here either.

What else matters at times like this?

The most damning thing you can say is "Trump. He's no Keir Starmer."

a cool thing about "cd's" is you push one button and it plays an entire album of music ad free and then (unless you request otherwise) it just stops and awaits further instruction. a very elegant system.

And the famed US Constitution sits there and provides no checks, no balances, no consequences.
