Hi, I wouldn’t ever ask someone in a minority group - especially one having their rights rolled back as fast as possible - to trust a politician. There has to be a better answer than neoliberal globalism or right-wing pogroms to disguise cash grabs. This can’t be all there is.

uh. is this 1) absolute power corrupts absolutely therefore principals will be tossed day 1 2) any truly popular movement must throw trans people under the bus 3) …? i have to say given your tl interests, i’m interested in how you avoid despair if the assumption is all power is used for evil only.

Also UK (Leeds 96 fwiw), CompSci. iirc 120 credits/year 360/total. In second year ~40 credits were open, you were encouraged to study outside of your subject area.

there’s very much a lifecycle to these things but they are usually benign iirc

coincidentally this was one of my first shots with it. not great lighting or framing but the cats pop.

the mogs abide
a black cat (Neil) sits perfectly straight behind a slightly bent towards the cameraman tortie (Not Dave). both of them desire that the bowls behind them be once again filled with the liquidised snouts and tripes,

Yeah I’m unconvinced that the Necroscope books or Shaun Hutson did me any harm but in retrospect eeek or yuck or ick. I did read out the opening necromancy bit of the former in English class, edgy teen choices ftw.

when will UK government open this and go “look, people die in the US because they can’t afford healthcare, and in France they retire 4 years earlier than we do, I reckon we can hop left a few squares and improve things somewhat”. the day before they explain immigration as a positive force, I guess.

Maybe it was always comparably terrible! Maybe I need the fentanyl of Blackbird vs the heroin of Roses because 51yo taste receptors and 4yo taste receptors are qualitatively different animals.

pete twentythree @pete23.com · 18/09/2026
I got started on it because my memories of 1978 Roses were turned to shit and poo by actual 2025 Roses. I don’t have any ability to benchmark my 1978 to 2025 disappointment vs a 1978 to Blackbird disappointment.

Lovely evening calling in on @avantgardening.pl, chatting about existence over a couple of AFs, and making the acquaintance of Marmite who is as beautiful and soft as her pictures suggest. I’m also always surprised by how green Krakow is.

this technology changes the nature of humanity
a stripy ginger tomcat sits behind a SCREEN (my technology of choice for humanity - seeing is believing etc) this SCREEN shows a close up of his derpy mlem head. so it looks like the cat body has a giant head screen.

tell me humanity can survive this.

The way that “computer software” is treated as being an ontologically neutral, fungible, and undifferentiated object of unspecified use in the discussion of the impact of LLMs on software production reveals a profound lack of critical and reflexive thinking on their part—being hallmarks of expertise

No amount of neurodiversity awareness training will ever make up for the fact that the average person takes it personally when you want to have lunch alone.
