iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Occasionally I consider looking for another job, and then realise my skillset is so niche I'm probably in the only place that would employ me.

I'd believe they were trying if they were honest about what the real problems are (money hoarding billionaires) rather than planning on doing deportations live on camera with the home secretary there cheering them on.

This is a good response from the European Commission. TL;DR: we're not dignifying every brainfart with a response unless there's some solid detail, but broadly, this is fucking insane.

I don't *think* I'm grey and white and super fluffy, but I'm so face blind I can't recognise myself in photos, so.... Maybe?

That's what I've realised. He's not trying to run the country and make it a better place to live, he's trying to win at being in power.

Awww. Poor squoof. I was always amazed that we'd managed to rescue a floof who turned out to have digestive problems and anxiety issues. I'd thought the "owners and pets resemble one another" thing was a myth.

The Assembly (Director's) Cut is my favourite Alien film. Frood got me the quadrilogy for my birthday one time. Didn't you watch it with us?

The only Alien3 anyone should be allowed to watch is the Assembly Cut: a hill I will die on.

It probably shouldn't be weird to realise how many past decisions were influenced by one of me being a surfeit of skunks.

Brings a certain stinging accuracy to the quote, "IT'S SO FLUFFY I'M GONNA DIE!"

I have sufficient self-control not to boop the floofy werewolf. Maybe.

But once they'd fully changed they had enormous fluffy ears! They were all floof!

JFC, what does someone need to do just to have their licence taken off them?

Also Wolf (Jack Nicholson, James Spader, Michelle Pfeiffer). Not sure if Wolven counts as a werewolf movie, but it's certainly good.

000

I found the werewolves slightly too adorable for it to be a *good werewolf* movie, but I will concede that by genre standards it could be described as a *good* werewolf movie.

Hello! Did you know that "I found the movie boring" is not the same as "this is not a good movie"?

Tour of Angus 2: Judgement Day!

Entered for Ride the North again. Doing the long version, obviously. With a start at Glamis castle, it should be spectacular. Entries for first timers open on the 28th. www.ride-the-north.co.uk

Or American Werewolf In London, presumably.

Living in NE Scotland, there are times when I wish we had weather that hung around a bit. You know, made it worthwhile putting the spiked tyres on. If I put them on today, they'd have to come off tomorrow.

Do you ever look a some - many - European cities and think we've been conditioned in the U.K to expect that incredibly grey, car-dominated, and polluted cities and towns are as good as it gets? Because I do. Hard to believe there are people fighting to keep things the same.

There should be an animé called, "That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Shark-Tailed Grouse!" I'd watch it.

Time to get the turbo out, I suppose.

Is there a reason why the Constitution is missing from the White House website, do you think? www.whitehouse.gov/about-the-wh...

I just don't bother any more. It's impossible to tell who is shitposting and who means it, and who started off shitposting but has come to believe their own shiposts because if you say something often enough it sounds true. Not worth the stress.

To be clear, for my own sanity, I will block anyone who says that the genocide in Gaza is why the Dems lost, and it was right and just for people not to have voted/to have voted for the wotzit. Regardless of their stance, this is worse. What the US has now is worse.

Oh noes! Did you take the WD40 to him?

Spotted on Market Day in a Small City in Aotearoa New Zealand: A serious looking man (40s?) is walking with friends. He suddenly picks up a traffic cone and does the moosey call of his people through the end. Everyone nearby laughing. He then returns cone and walks on. His work here is done. (1)

I'll give it a few days and see what numbers I have.

Thinking about doing a UK cycling (like the old UrbancyclingUK mailing list) starter pack for people and groups who are involved in promoting or just enjoy getting out and about on bikes in the UK. No idea what's involved, but if you'd be interested in being on it, hit me up?

So they should be! My expensive body temple is not passivhaus. The lifeguards are very nice, though.

Sorry, your pool is a passivhaus? OMG.

Party heels? I'm afraid I don't wear heels and don't go to parties, so I know nothing! And maybe I'm one of those outdoorsy types, but the idea of letting a basic function slip away like that gives me the heebs. Also, don't party girls need to be fit enough to dance in their party frocks?

I've been having to drive to the shop lately rather than cycling, because it's 6 miles and the weather has been awful, also my asthma has been playing up. One or the other is fine, but not both. And it has felt weird and wrong. I can't imagine driving quarter of a mile, but I know some do.
