Americans still insisting to me that attack helicopters are a normal & fine way to mark the start of a football match. The fact that this has been so normalised that people cannot see how weird it is is part of the problem. Healthy democracies don‘t mark the start of a kickabout with gunships.

I wake up in the morning.
I sit at my computer.
The internet screams at me that the world is on fire.
I am overwhelmed by the deluge of bad news and faceplant in front of the computer.

My girlfriend started a CompSci course at uni. I was already interested but eager to be able to understand what she was talking to me about I started learning Python. I never did anything with it and can barely code, but it feels nice to have a little more understanding than I used to!

Cars are incredible machines that will continue to be a vital transportation solution in the future. But regular people shouldn't need one. Streets full of giant metal boxes that only use 1/10th their volume for their occupant are obviously inefficient once you cast off the biases of car-centrism.

My son is enjoying his book but says "I really need it not to have a sad ending." He's reading 1984.
