Fantastic autumn day in my part of the world, passed loads of folk out enjoying the weather including a mate who's had some surgery, and can't wipe his arse properly. Be thankful for what you have lads.

"AI will personalise everything to your tastes"

... but that's bad. I don't trust my own tastes, they're rubbish. That's why I need more talented people to make things for me that I realise I enjoy.

Really glad all the media guys have put their heads together and decided that neurodivergent people are the next group to go after. Fair enough, we've had it far too easy for far too long.

Guys, this post got me a Bsky blue check. I couldn't be happier that this is how it happened.
Currently at the bathroom at NYCC having the worst shit of my life and someone outside of my stall says "Erica Henderson is here" and it takes me a few seconds to realize they mean the con and not the toilet

Recreation of Richborough Roman coastal fort #Kent c AD 250

The fort enclosed an earlier triumphal arch

Anyone who's read Rosemary Sutcliff's 1959 novel *The Lantern Bearers* will know the arch probably became a signal tower

The reason the Amber Valley by-election isn't declaring until tomorrow afternoon is that the counting hall had already been booked for a wedding. You try telling the bride she's not the most important thing happening there today.
Counting is now underway in the Holborn and St Pancras by-election and in three of today's 4 local by-elections (Amber Valley will declare tomorrow afternoon). There is plenty of time to read up on all tonight's contests with Andrew's Previews: andrewspreviews.substack.com/p/previewing...
