FATALITY
A tweet from Joyce Carol Oates: overall takeaway from the Curtis Yarvin profile is that there must be millions of smart-aleck show-offy kids who annoy their teachers and go on to annoy other adults through their lives with their “contrarian” pose that hardens to a carapace over their faces; until, as adults, they still harbor a delusion that, if there is a king, or a fuhrer, he’d be impressed with the guys motor mouth and appoint him to his cabinet rather than deleting him with a negligent swipe of his wrist as Stalin did routinely.

Cannot stop giggling at the image of being out with your mates, looking forward to a quite afternoon of nicking heating oil. Sun's out, it's warm, you're mooching round Gloucestershire... Dazza's just got the siphon going and suddenly a small army of armed police appear and start screaming at you.

Sure, go ahead, post about a relatively important distinction that matters, I say to myself. People can handle it without being too weird, I reassure myself.
Me: think we need to differentiate between "Al uses a lot of water!" (not necessarily bad on its own) and "Al stresses local water supplies" (a potentially real issue). The distinction is important because even "modest" use can cause serious issues, especially given the locations of data centers

Every time there’s any article on EVs on social media, you always get a horde of weirdos or boys saying “diesel is much better and that’s what I’m buying.” If they are real, I wonder how they’re going to cope with the US export ban.

Nice to see Surrey how committed Surrey are to winning the women's cricket. Can't have the Bl*ze winning everything again.

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*.

I get people don’t like the Hundred and have my own issues with it, but Jesus Wept you do not have to bring it up in every single conversation about cricket, even ones that have nothing to do with it. Some people are monomaniacal.

A great moment at The Oval as Mark Wood and his family are given the honour of ringing the five-minute bell, after his retirement earlier this week. A hugely popular England cricketer 👏 Happy retirement @MAWood33 🫡

Just to add to the airport discourse, Matt's Planet latest Air India video has him flying into Birmingham. Direct trains to London and Bristol and he found it easier than some of the London ones for trips to Home Counties.

Finally finished Neuromancer a couple of weeks ago. Still trying to process it. First book in probably twenty years that gave me a very visceral feeling about the ending and that required me to go and sit and have a think. I think it's because the deliberate pace changes really messed with me.

A fun, affordable hobby is: 1. Turning up in random well-to-do Cotswold villages wearing a hi-vis vest with a picture of a wind turbine on it, and a hard hat. 2. Taking measurements of the village green and any other open space, and enthusiastically writing notes on a clipboard.

Meanwhile memory chips are increasing in price so fast that by the time Neuromancer comes out this fall you will *actually* be able to get killed in Chiba City for 3 MB of hot RAM.

When I first started working in factories, people whose job it had to pull a lever every twenty seconds for eight hours a day for the next forty years. Office work had levels of this even in the nineties we don't do now. Washing machines reduced household drudgery Lawnmowers allowed sports.

Neuromancer is forty years old so does miss a lot of things, but one thing it gets right is that cynicism can be much easier to exploit by hostile actors than naivety.

Govt’s “legitimate concerns” rhetoric and abject failure to crush these thugs continues to legitimise and embolden them. Blood is already on their hands, yet they do fuck all for fear of arriving the odious racist toad. Cowards who don’t deserve to be in government.
