Father Ted Crilly saying "that's the great thing about Catholicism, it's very vague and no-one really knows what it's all about" except Catholicism has been crossed out and REGENERATIVE written underneath.

I just made my best apple crumble ever. Light brown sugar, vanilla, lemon juice and rum in with the apple, lots and lots of crumble with oats and dark brown sugar in it. Pretty sure I just gave myself diabetes but worth it.

I put Galaxy Quest on to kill a bit of time, and obviously I'm watching the whole thing because it's brilliant.

So we don't lose her in the dark, we had the dog fitted with a high-vis butt. Really good move. #safety

*goes to check time* *looks down, sees small dog looking feeble, giving off a steady whingeing noise* Ah, just after five then.

Master’s, academic publishers, beer, adverts
I submitted my dissertation a day early. No late nights before the deadline, no last-minute rush, no panic. I used to pride myself on quoting Douglas Adams, with his deadlines making a whooshing sound as they fly by, but in the end I was relaxed and ahead of time. So uncool. My past self doesn't...

Useful dog-keeping skill: grab muzzle, pry jaws open, prevent biting, hook disgusting thing the dog found by the road and was trying to eat out of their mouth and hoy it in the hedge with one hand.

You're lucky it was a no, thanks. So many refusal options now are assumed to be temporary, the maybe laters and the not right nows.

The reasons people give for supporting Reform generally seem to be the same immigration and climate change denial and that the existing two main parties have done nothing and that we should 'give them a go'. Is there a useful set of rebuttals for a constructive conversation?

You can easily reject it, organise against it if you want, but I'm not sure that shaming users will do much - they're either too busy not noticing or giving a shit what people on Bluesky think, or will do it anyway without shouting about it.

Well, that's sort of the point I'm making. No claim to plant half a million trees means a damn thing without aftercare, protection, and water.

There are genuine uses in science for diagnosis and detection, but as a consumer good it's massively overhyped and causing far more damage than any benefit it offers. There might be a readjustment similar to the 90s dot com bubble crash, but a lot of people have bet a lot on it...

Was a very different story 15 years ago when Molson Coors bought Sharps, saying they'd retain it, possibly even grow it, and they were "100% committed to real ale and cask beer at Rock".

That would be interesting to know. A little like the forcing in of AI tools and their promotion by businesses, and how much of a difference they actually make to productivity (companies backtracking on this suggests they haven't made a difference, or it has been negative).

I couldn't stand corporate bollocks in my 20s, 30s or 40s and the worst of the rot hadn't set in yet, or I was in the public sector where there was way too much cynicism for it. Now I'm in my 50s I'm pretty sure I'm unemployable by any outfit that would do it. I threw myself off the corporate ladder
