I woke hours too early, in a foul mood. I dreaded going to work. It rained on me. Since then everyone has been resolutely nice to me, apologising for the muckups recently I've been threading through (and not complaining). And the sun's out. Almost like life's not too bad after all.

So is tasty cheese on super wine biscuits not a thing everyone does?

Why yes Dr., I do have tattoos. Would you like to see them? Today I learned Mr Curry liked to leave his life as private as possible. I respect that enormously, and would like to reflect on the liberation of others private lives his work enabled. Thank you.

Think about Miss Piggy. She lost a best friend and now an ex-lover in matter of 24 hours.

My brain has woken up after a week of the 'flu. I know this, because I'm thinking about Judith Butler's article on giving an account of oneself. I haven't seen Butler discussed in Narrative Therapy literature. I would have thought it would be useful.

My dilemma about being constantly fatigued, and now knowing why is should I rest and recover, or should I push through because rest wouldn't make any difference anyway? Results for autoimmune stuff due early next week.

I intern at an agency that offers free counselling for men. I'm the last 8 scheduled sessions, 2 people have shown up, 3 have cancelled, and the rest are no shows. I'm a bit dispirited right now. #therapysky

Just saying, from a point of view of anti-authoritarian streaks in us as a people, there aren't many countries with an official National Monument for Conscientious Objectors. The UK for example, has a memorial stone.

I recommended the Christchurch Budget Advice Service to someone last night. I was following up this morning and found they had closed. And their domain had expired. And had been taken by a casino advert. Angry isn't even the beginning of what I feel about this.

Riding to work, a little cool, not cold, the bike happy that it's fettled and clean, traffic flowing, coffee and methylphenidate kicking in. Life's pretty good. #motosky

Bloody hell. Neely's music is a bit noodly for my taste, but his politics are spot on. I had my Futurismo period as a youth, but I grew out of it.

Why, thank you for that, Timaru Museum.

Two "support the tour" badges in a museum display, supporting the 1981 springbok rugby tour of New Zealand. It's nice that someone, unlike John Key, remembers what their position was...

Every now and again #dysonlogos posts a map, and I sit for a few minutes and develop a whole adventure around it in my mind. Then I read their ideas, and with both I'm ready to run a game. Thanks to @slyflourish.com for the confidence to know how much prep I (don't) need to do. #shadowdark #OSR

Went to see Don McGlashan at the Christchurch Town Hall, and we all sang along to #thereisnodepressioninnewzealand In my life this is the 3rd time round that song hits harder than normal.

So, #zotero has a #pubpeer plugin. So I downloaded all ot the university of canterbury's publications from #openalex as a .ris file, and imported them into a new profile. In three clicks. Now I can see who is gossiping about who! Amazing. @zotero.org @pubpeer.com

Why would Microsoft mandate it's staff use AI? Because it values what AI provides; consistent mediocrity. The same. That which is like what came before. The comfortable and unsurprising. All faster and with less cost than before.

I've started my #Shadowdark GM morgue. First two victims dispatched by badger #ttrpg (And a critical fail that killed the other character by his friend's hand.)

Just watched Adam Curtis' Shifty, and I see how ACT's regulation Bill is really just completing the job of handing all political power over to the finance and tech industries.

There have been a number of homes destroyed in Whakaraupō over the last couple of days. Slips and fires. Having your life turned upside down is just moments away, even in such a beautiful place.

Whakaraupō, looking particularly picturesque, just after dawn.

Given the discussion about AI in the bill submission process, is this an appropriate meme to resurface?

"It's not clear what I'd be apologising for," says Chris Bishop when asked whether he'd apologise to Stan Walker. Let me help: for attending the AMAs a guest, drinking the free beer and then loudly and rudely behaving like an arse during Stan's performance. www.rnz.co.nz/news/nationa...

So. I'm writing some code to go through assignment references to see if they are AI hallucinations. The first one is a hallucination but the DOI is real. I wonder if AI is trying to warn me off looking further.
