I have just learned of "Occam's Kazoo" heuristic to understand the actions of Trump; basically the most likely explanation of his actions is the stupidest. (Original RT didn't have alt-text)

I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Absolutely amazing hearing two nightingales singing at RSPB Cliffe Pools yesterday. They are so different from everything else.

Plan for the evening.

Go to the Winchester, have a pint, and wait for this all to blow over.

Oh well, it's been nice knowing you all. At least we've had pleasant springlike weather for the last day of human existence.

Lasers were a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to play with cats. Computers were also a huge scientific breakthrough and now we use them to look at pictures of cats. In other words, science was made for cats.

Due to two household spills I’ve had to put both laundry softener beads and instant yeast into the bin today.

We shall see what ferocious, insatiable, and lavender scented, monster will rise during the night. β€œIt’s so spring fresh!” will scream the victims as they are devoured.

"On Monday, Oedipus ate through one apple.

But he was still hungry.

On Wednesday he ate a whole banana.

On Friday he killed an arrogant man at the crossroads and married his widow.

But he was still hungry."

A section, there, from THE VERY HUNGRY PATER-KILLER.

Another delicious Greek meal at the Coach House in New Romney. We try and go there every time we have a short birdwatching break in the area. Greek and Mediterranean dishes with an imaginative twist.

I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable.

Someone just called Palantir "Nazi Cancer" and, tbf, that may be an underestimate.
