it's 25 degrees in my garden right now and it's the end of September. Could we please have some mists and mellow fruitfulness? I'm so tired of being too hot.

This robin also wants to comment on the failure to fill the buffet promptly enough. Nice to see the little birds coming back - the starlings seem to be a bit less mob-handed at the moment. (Also, the feeder didn't catch a video; it only caught this one pic.)

This blue tit would like a word about the empty buffet (I have now filled it up).

ah, there's a hack for that: go up the escalator as if you're leaving the station. All the escalators meet at the top, so you can go straight down to the Jubilee and avoid the yomp along the corridor

Presumably not her first rodeo if she was already in the system to get a match, too, so hopefully it'll result in a nicking and a charge. As it was a box of cat food she nicked, Daphne thinks the death penalty would be appropriate

I've got it up and running - haven't got it outputting to a screen but it's just as nice in the browser! (only starlings in the garden in the hour or so it's been up)

Ok, I have given up trying to work (I only have one task left to do and it can wait until Monday).

Obviously she must be your first priority from the moment you wake up! Meanwhile, this is my lap just now ...

The starlings are enjoying the spa this afternoon

Daphne is reading your bad posts and has some feedback for you

Daphne would like to remind you of her magnificence, everyone.

when did people start going completely mad? We have utter batshit nonsense like this from Braverman, we have Trump completely out of control in the US, we have "Danny Tommo" trying to kill RNLI volunteers, we have maniacs flat-out denying vaccines are good. Did the pandemic cook everyone's brains?

I've blocked this twat now, but just to make the point that nobody is obliged to interact with you/anyone else, and one of the best things about this place is that you can manage who can respond to and share your posts.

Thinking of making this the cover photo of the book

just had this zoom noisily overhead at about 600ft, which is unusual, to say the least. Usually only get this kind of plane when it's Trooping the Colour or a coronation or something

I particularly enjoyed this nugget.

aaah, this is what that "let's meet the new pro dancers" segment reminded me of #Strictly

Starlings are worse than cats on the "never ever been fed" scale

Just had this letter apparently from DHL asking me for £49 in unpaid VAT. No idea what for, as this is the first I've heard of this charge. Smells like a scam, especially as the web page they say to go to returns a 404, and the email to send payments to bounces back (I didn't send payment, obvs).

OpenAI using AI to huffily say "it's not x, it's y".

Also, blimey, but then again, I guess I'm not surprised

Good FT piece about men using GLP-1s and I *love* this quote in particular www.ft.com/content/65f4...

thanks but no, Asana. I have actual human team mates who keep me plenty busy/annoyed enough

also, can highly recommend breakfast at the Early Bird Cafe in Courtenay when you're driving up to Campbell River

In an attempt to leaven your feeds a bit, I present this classic photo of Daphne wearing a jumper.

I mean, for God's sake. The cybersecurity industry has had a robust reporting structure in place for decades: vulns are reported; everyone patches them. AI bros, however "ooh who could possibly have imagined we might need to disclose bad stuff????"

One of the key problems with AI is that the AI bros and their behemoth companies have absolutely no governance or guardrails. It's not that the AI is conscious or going rogue or whatever. It's that it's run by feckless arseholes. www.ft.com/content/2c34...
