I have now switched off Microsoft Update. It works, and I'm fed up to the back teeth with having to switch all their telemetry off again every sodding time.

Journalist (reporting, supposedly): I am reporting on Fact X, which is in fact Non-Fact X, but I will report it as though this falsehood is true, because it's more comfortable this way and you're all morons.

#NFWHealth Ryszard phoned me from the chemist's to ask what strength nicotine plasters I wanted, and when he found out how much they cost, he asked me if he shouldn't buy me cigarettes instead because they're cheaper. How not to be helpful in one simple lesson.

#NFWHealth #OneLittleVictory To replace cigarettes, I've got pastilles and my komboloi are on their way. These are they. Let's do this.

A photo of black obsidian Greek worry beads or komboloi.

Just discovered, apropos of absolutely nothing at all, that the word 'plethora' has 3 distinct etymologies - from mediaeval Latin, from Ancient Greek or from Middle French. Not bad for 1 word. And plethora appears on average twice every million words, so I've doubled that in this post. 😁

Good Experimental Music: September 2026

This time around we have turntables made of stone, scores from installations, drones that are unafraid to be dramatic, and horns playing with themselves.

My gods, every time I read an interview with Olga Tokarczuk, the Polish Nobel Prizewinner, I feel profoundly and incredibly stupid. She understands language in a way i will never be able to.

#NFWHealth Still feeling as sick as a whole pandaemonium of parrots. 🤢🤮 But #OneLittleVictory using that collective noun for parrots has reminded me of documentary-maker Humphrey Jennings absolutely incredible book of the same name. I gather it was part of the 2012 Opening Ceremony. You must read it

#NFWHealth Today's Polish lesson. I feel chujowo - pron. Who-YO-vo, and said with feeling. Literally, it would be something like "dickishly", but basically it means I feel like shit. Much more satisfying in Polish, though. Oh, #OneLittleVictory, I've found some nice black obsidian kolomboi.

Now leaving conference (autism story to work on). atmos was a fascinating mixture of excitement/hope and everyone knowing you can't do much in two and a half years, so also nervous. Main thought: Starmer was such a completely wasted two years, one of history's rare utter nothings

My dad became a doctor in the '50s. When I was a teen, 'pro-lifers' leafleted me. So I asked him about abortions. He told me that anyone who had ever treated a woman with a septic uterus after a backstreet abortion would never be in any doubt about the importance of safe, legal abortion.

Aphex Twin -Selected Ambient Works, Volume II Dunno about you, but I always thought the title, while accurate, was a bit… self-important? But the music is… astonishingly good. The atmospheres James creates are just unique. One of those albums which changes the way you listen to music. Indispensable.

#NFWHealth I still haven't finished the fags I bought before deciding to quit, but its looking like Thursday will be The Day. And by the way, NRT should be *a lot cheaper* than fags if they want people to stick with it.

It will never not be wild to me that the Russians attacked Keir Starmer's home, successfully spread falsehoods about Starmer's love life, and this didn't changed British politics and British political elite behaviour *at all*.
