Went hiking across the Icelandic highlands. 5 days without phone reception or electricity, can recommend it. Took some nice photos. This is on the way down from Bláhnjúkur at Landmannalaugar

Based on this picture I have figured out that I may be able to see your flat from my place across the other side of London. Are you visible here, I think you should be

The correct response to Blair on this:

Indeed, from this map it looks like the main predictor of having compulsory ID is being a former Warsaw pact country or fascist dictatorship. Or Belgium. It is simply not true that most EU countries have it

FML I googled the famous Robert R Wilson quote in light of that NSF news and the stupid LLM has hallucinated that he became a theatre director because there was another Robert Wilson who was a director. This is straight up misinformation

Little did I know how accurate this tweet of mine from the Before Times would turn out to be. Be careful what you wish for
An old tweet from Dec 2022 in which I speculate that a future insane RW politician will force people to eat 3 bowls of horse paste (ivermectin) a day. This is in response to a tweet by RFK Jr extolling the virtues of eating an insane diet of raw beef/eggs/milk
