I’ve always been such a solo Trekkie (with the exception of the Star Trek club at secondary, which was entirely teenage boys going “hurhur” whenever Seven was onscreen), I really do need to remember there’s a proper brilliant community of us out there.

FINALLY got round to watching the @rigb.org Science of Star Trek live stream, and truly, it just looks like everyone involved was having so much fun! Brilliant, brilliant stuff from @jamiebgall.co.uk, @drcarpineti.bsky.social, @jobium.bsky.social, Leah SciFi, Meganne Christian, and Martin Quinn. 🖖

It’s #MedalMonday, baybee! Despite the biblical downpours at 15km and right before the finish line, the Copenhagen Half Marathon was a fun one. And, miracle of miracles, somehow my feet are blister-free. #JogDivision #RunningPunks
The orange and brown (I’m sure it’s supposed to be burnt umber or whatever) t-shirt and brutalist, rectangular orange and silver medal from the Copenhagen Half Marathon laid out on a bed. Strava stats overlaid show a little bit more than a half marathon distance done in 2hrs 9minsA photo of a banner in shades of blue across the street in Copenhagen advertising the World Road Running Championships, which reads “the best runners on the planet. And you.”Me, a white woman in her early 40’s, taking a selfie after a half marathon. I’m looking at the camera and smiling, while holding out my orange and silver medal. I’m wearing a very stylish combo of a pink running cap and grey hoodie, with a blue rain poncho over the top that’s covered in Scottish flags.

Obvs I hope he makes a smooth and speedy recovery, and you can yell at me if you want to, but not having Pogačar in the remainder of the Vuelta made it an actually interesting race. Mas did a hell of a job and deserved that red, and what a debut from Brennan (and green for Wout)! ‘Mon the Bees! 🐝

FWIW I don’t think that AI is an existential threat, nor on track to become one. I do however think that the leaders of the biggest AI companies, AI’s strongest boosters, and some of the folks who are most adept at using it to exploit others are actively hastening along OTHER existential threats.

I have been putting this long run off for a couple of weeks. I fucked the route and had to find another 4km through town, and I have a new and exciting blister in a weird spot on my foot, but it’s done, and now I feel less nervous about the Copenhagen half in two weeks. #JogDivision #RunningPunks

I’m torn between two, and honestly, I’d be happy for whoever is having to press the button that closes the curtain to decide. It’s either Mahna Mahna by the Muppets, or Baby I’m Burnin’ by Dolly Parton, although I’m not sure if the latter is perhaps a bit too on the nose for a cremation?

A delightful flying visit to Edinburgh to @lighthousebks.bsky.social to see @drcarpineti.bsky.social talk about the brilliant Invisible Rainbows, and watch the launch of the Nancy Grace Roman telescope (at the same time, v efficient). Lovely to catch up with @astroroyalscot.bsky.social too!

There’s a new dentist opened on Shields Road, and apparently the clients at the opening do are too important to use the car park at the subway, which is literally seconds away. It’s shit like this that makes me never want to use a business, it makes me think they don’t give a toss about the area.

This does explain why Labour aren’t bothering with the public enquiry into Section 28, because "public enquiries are typically used to establish facts about what happened and why, and to learn from events in order to reduce the likelihood of something similar happening in future.”

2003 vs 2026 The last time I saw AFI was at Leeds Festival the summer before I went to uni. They were absolutely magic last night at SWG3. 23 years was far too much of a gap, I won’t leave it quite so long next time.

#StrangeNewWorlds “Level 5 Transporter Accident” is perhaps the most deranged telly I’ve watched in a while. The Henson puppets are truly fantastic, Ethan Peck gives it the old Michael Caine Muppet’s Christmas Carol effort, and to be honest, in a universe of infinite possibilities, why not puppets?
