Autumn arrived. Pics don’t convey the 23mm of rain in a few hours that I got to enjoy while out running.
Autumnal woodland scene with leaves on the ground and a path wandering off into the distance. The atmosphere is damp and foggy. The trees still have most of their leaves on, but the fall is definitely kicking inSteep uphill trail enclosed by trees with poor light getting through. Big mushrooms and fallen leaves make the scene feel like autumn. The gravel has been washed away by heavy rains and the canvas is showing through.

I’ve just sent an email to three daves and I myself am also a dave, in case you were wondering how the maternity vibes were in the late seventies/early eighties.

People who say things like “a couple of degrees is nothing, stop doom-mongering” either don’t understand that a medical degree and a masters still isn’t enough to get a job these days OR are so clueless about climate change that you should ask them if they want their freezer at -2 or +1.

Listening to the new muse track, hexagons, while working in the office today and the rhythm of it was distracting me. Cue colleague wandering past wondering what the FUCK I was doing as my left hand was tapping out on the desk. “It’s in 6/4!” apparently isn’t enough explanation.

Trump says 'a whole civilization will die tonight' if Iran does not make a deal
US president Donald Trump once again warned Iran to make a deal on Tuesday, saying a “whole civilization will die tonight” if an agreement is not reached to end the conflict.

Writing on Truth Social, he said:

A whole civilization will die tonight, never to be brought back again. I don’t want that to happen, but it probably will. However, now that we have Complete and Total Regime Change, where different, smarter, and less radicalized minds prevail, maybe something revolutionarily wonderful can happen, WHO KNOWS?
We will find out tonight, one of the most important moments in the long and complex history of the World. 47 years of extortion, corruption, and death, will finally end. God Bless the Great People of Iran!

Spending a quiet moment in the oncall catching up on Artemis II. The extraordinary moment of being further from Earth than anyone has ever been and literally unable to see *your own planet* is a quite emotional thought. Our little meat brains can do incredible things.

The makers of this bullshit should be named and shamed. Grabow just completed the Ironman world champs at the age of EIGHTY. Debbie Martin-Consani won the Spine in her late 40’s. There are loads of women competing in long-distance events all the way into their 70’s. Fucksake.
