Struggled out with the dog and fed the crow today. Hopefully he will forgive me.

Yep, every Week 2, every semester. Maybe if they could wheel me in, in one of these I'd be OK.

Could be the jab was just too late. I need this on Sept 1st.

It's either flu jab malaise or fresher's flu. You just can't win at this time of year.

I have emailed in sick from my work desk, and will be heading home as soon as I've set up this morning's class with some work to do in my absence. This is a first for me. FFS. I hate this miserable flesh prison.

Those lead sling bullets are the origin of "when life gives you lemons". Hard, deadly lemons. Slung at speed. At your head.

Future me, which isn't feeling like death, would like this recipe please.

Its a systematic erosion of the very pillars of our civilisation. A callous cash grab before it all falls apart due to climate change anyway. 🤬

Whatever is going around right now is a complete bastard. Jim's been like the walking dead for about 10 days now.

Survived the flu jab yesterday but boy am I tired and achy today. 4 hours of back to back teaching may be slightly less high energy than usual. I wish I could wheel a TV into the classroom like we did back in the day.

This appeared in my FB memories, and given the recent Dune posting, seemed approriate.

A meme of the large navigator tank from the 80s Dune movie, but this one has baby Moo Deng the hippo inside.

I apologised all the way round and have prepared double rations for tonight.

I'm rapidly starting to believe that if society has any hope at all, it's Unions who are giving us that hope.

Forgot to take the crow food with me on the dog walk just now. My crow was waiting for me and he followed me all the way around the park. 😭

Ah, you're after percussive maintenance? I can do that.

Jon and his team nail the absolute crux of the matter again.

Old, yes. Git...more of a battleaxe.

That drink bottle is a crime against design, but the popcorn tin could tempt me :)

Also: no 2-factor authentification before getting upload/write privileges. Yeesh.

Oh. Well, that can get in the sea.

My to do list is now way smaller than earlier. Not sure I can do all of it, but have made inroads and that's what matters. Now for a lunch break. Yes, I am aware it is after 2.30pm and I've been working since just after 7am, but that's academia for you. Also flu jab malaise is starting early. 👌

Oh gods, the OIivers have gone dark side? An an ex Blitz employee, this makes me very sad.

See? I'm not fat, I'm just preparing to hibernate.

Careful what you wish for.

Cheers. I have prepared by eating everything remotely edible within a 15mtr radius.

I hear you're opening for Angine de Poitrine. 👌 (Incidentally, google them for a fun little polka dot screen experience).

The world is making me weary today. I just want to sit around in my PJs eating Coco Pops and playing PC games. But I have teaching, lectures to write, a flu jab, laundry, and grocery deliveries to wrangle. My boss has just sent me an impenetrable spreadsheet. *sigh*

I was going to say the man is nearly 90 now, surely it's OK for him to just retire.

Came here to say the same thing. And post this as proof.

Prometheus stills showing Idris Elba decorating a Christmas tree on a pool table. "What the hell is that?" "It's Christmas"

"By using AI, tasks like essays that used to take hours can be completed in minutes!" Sure, like how if I arrive at the gym and immediately go for a shower, my workout is done in record time. And if I throw my sandwiches straight in the bin, I can finish my lunch in under 10 seconds.

That would be very 2026. Especially if an AI bastard told them to.

This gets said constantly, but it worth reiterating: Games Workshop being bigger than fishing is important to shout about because you wouldn't know it from government talking points, which are rarely about anything creative or artistic. Growth won't involve fish or steel, it will involve goblins.

JFC that's horrific. Sending solidarity and support from TU. Hope your #UCU is doing what it can.
