I managed to get 5 hrs of (horrible) sleep - my youngest will be home from school soon though and I should eat something. I guess I’ll be doing as little as possible today.

4:04am. Trying to settle myself. Heard 2 loud whomps about 3.15 then saw flames up the street - the house 3 doors up just had their cars petrol bombed. Awful. Thankfully only the cars damaged, no people or their house. It’s such a quiet, out of the way street. Horrible that anyone would do that 😔

Well if ever there were an example of pointless AI, I just found it. Emailed customer service of a company. Got the standard automated ‘thanks, we’ll be in touch’ email, but then 4 mins later I get *another* email saying ‘a human will be in touch within 3 days… this is AI generated’ Just… why?????

I just got a text that was supposedly from a local Dem candidate asking for volunteers, not $, & it had a “link” to the description of what they need that contained “run.setup.exe” I didn’t even have to open the text to see the string, but I’m an old nerd & wonder how many ppl would miss that.

I know there’s so much competing for your attention, but I’m very proud of Listen with Other and I’d be delighted if you gave it a try. Each series is standalone so you can start anywhere. If you like it, tell your friends. If you don’t, tell your enemies. I’m not fussy.

Good morning. Today, I'm going to give a little push to my second collection of stories, 'Intervals of Darkness', from 2024, partly because I think of it as particularly autumnal. www.amazon.co.uk/Intervals-Da...

The cover of Intervals of Darkness in black and red with an image of a figure being stalked through a dark space by an unseen figure, with a quote from author John Grindrod: "Existing somewhere between Robert Aickman and J.G. Ballard, these blackly funny tales are sure to chill you, no matter how high you turn the central heating."

Why do some TV shows (Ludwig is a good example) do that thing of having only the centre third or so of the image in focus, with the edges out of focus, even when key characters are there? It’s really uncomfortable to watch 😣

i have such a niche question for fiber craft and disabled folk if you crochet or knit, do you find that one is less painful than the other? crocheting makes my hands and arms ache so bad that they’ll tremble, i’ve been wondering if knitting may be a better choice for me 💭 #crochet #knitting

As of May 2026, Police Scotland now ask every person who reports or witnesses a crime for data about their “sex” and their “trans status”. These questions are voluntary - you are not legally required to disclose your sex or your trans status to the police when reporting or witnessing a crime.
