This is a really interesting read. Sets out clearly some of the issues in front of the world right now - and they may not be the issues we want to face

I resigned from ExxonMobil today. I spent the last three years doing fossil fuel extraction research at both BP and ExxonMobil. Neither company is acting responsibly. They are racing to maximize extraction while the window to act closes, and gambling with our lives. More below.

It's amazing how often you think: someone should have proofread that. An otherwise fairly standard and boring lease but I hope no one has to rely on these provisions

There's an argument for calling them masked thugs, because that is factually true. There's an argument for calling them pathetic cosplaying loser incels, also true, and laughing at them damages their tough-guy self image and hurts recruitment. There is no argument for calling them protesters.

This is interesting. You get assigned to being born at a random place and time in history, to see what a typical person's life might have been like then. Unfortunately I was born in 1403 in the valley of Mexico and died at age 4 from dysentery.

Our Christmas tree has done enormously well out on the balcony - after repotting - with some help fromour neighbour chucking a bucket of water over it occasionally when we're away. I fear that Heatwave 4 (or is it 5) may do for it, poor thing

Let's be clear. Gay men can be misogynists, they can have male privilege, our experiences are not the same as women. But we are not heterosexual men either. We do not experience being a man in the same way straight men do, society reminds us of that on a daily basis. 7/

In other news: stopped by two charming Japanese (I think) kids. Thought they might want directions. The young woman wanted to 'practise' her presentation on something to do with a heavenly mother in the bible. I did explain it wasn't written in modern Hebrew but couldn't really advise otherwise.

Call from hospital at 10 mins to taxi to cancel / reschedule physio. Lovely woman, apologetic and very keen to rebook for this afternoon - if that would be convenient for me. I did not say: 'Yes, fine! but get off the phone, I need to cancel my cab'. Then she rang back cos the first slot had gone

It's not a "male loneliness epidemic". It's *a male friendship crisis*. Men are encouraging unhealthy behaviour in each other and at best waiting for women to heal them. Fundamentally, these men - either those in the manosphere or those influenced by it - are just not being kind to each other.

My watch, which is somewhat given to spouting unsupported nonsense, suggests I am 100% ready to train (for what is unspecified) today. It obviously hasn't realised it has spent two weeks on a different wrist, or that it's usual wrist has acquired a brace. I shall therefore ignore it on that front.

Here's the serious bit for anyone who'd rather skip the 4000 words of jokes

Because the truth is, tech doesn't have an image problem. It doesn't have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What's wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn't successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What's wrong is that he's trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that's designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn't that you haven't told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them. (
There are things in the world that are more important than money. The fact that you seem not to believe this, that you seem to think any motive beyond ruthless acquisitiveness is fake, dishonest, or childish, is the heart of your problem. Your attitude is not by any means unique to tech, but the

There is a fairly large (UK standards) spider wandering about the flat. I don't object to spiders per se, but it goes rushing off whenever I encounter it and it don't like skittering. (I did try catching it to put it outside, but it can do close to warp speed if it wants)

Among other things... With London's election results coming so close in places, I had a look at three random councils - in 82% of cases the candidate whose surname appeared highest on the ballot paper outperformed the party colleague who was alphabetically lowest. May have caused some split results.
