Hiscox is a very silly name for an insurer.

My wife has just got back from a business trip to a fictional city famous for its costumed criminals and bat vigilante. Gotham? No, I’m a vegetarian, mate.

Going to Big Tesco, so made a Chopin Lizst

On the left is a black and white picture of an old Liszt and on the right a black and white photograph of a young Chopin. Both are serious looking men with shoulder length hair.

Oh, look a meaningless list of TV shows, some of which I liked, some of which I didn’t, most of which I have never seen. Great. Thanks. 👍

Forgot to say, I cooked a lasagna last night. 🍜🍽️

This feels like the type of product that would spark some ‘zany’ dialogue in a Marvel movie.

Heinz Saucy Sauce, someone decided to mix mayo and ketchup and sell it as a sauce; apparently the Heinz new product team is staffed with teenage boys. 😒

So to clarify: Politely calling for the genocide of trans people = not toxic. Telling the person calling for the genocide of trans people to ‘suck off a hand grenade with the pin taken out’ = toxic.

I love the idea that Kirk is condemned to sit just outside the gates of heaven, and forced to debate various historical figures (and a mummy) over and over for eternity with no respite. How’s that for hell 😈

I’d do the ‘things I was frightened of as a child thing’, but basically imagine a list of primary school teachers and extended family members.

Thinking out loud, most technology comes from need: we need to keep things cool so we invent fridges, we need to light our rooms more easily, so we invent lightbulbs. AI is the opposite, we have this thing, what do we need it for? So it’s being inserted into everything in the search for a purpose.

Someone recently told me that AI will eventually be incorporated into my fridge, but I’m really struggling to work out what the use case there is. The obvious one is telling me what I’ve run out of, but AI sucks so badly if it told me I’d only got two eggs left, I’d still check.

It’s also interesting they’re labelling him ‘middle class’, as if his class traitor thugs somehow represent the interests of the working class rather than the ruling class.
