Ingmar, this is a very powerful text. I hope many will read it.

And it comes very timely, especially after an extremely hot summer with burning forests and water shortages in many countries.

I stayed up many nights this week writing this. Not because I had a deadline. I just couldn’t stop.

It’s the most personal thing I’ve written about climate, hope, my children and the lie that we still have more time.

The Biggest Lie Ever Told Is Only Four Words Long
Not carbon dioxide. A lie, spoken calmly in parliaments and boardrooms, only four words long.

I was quite sad to see this tree gone on my usual morning walk. I can see why though. It used to make ominous creaking sounds in windy weather and it was obviously rotten inside.

Looks like it's back again after two and a half hours!
How embarrassing for Bluesky and the AT protocol. It's not just Bluesky, mu.social is also down. I think this means it's an issue with the relay network — the one they said made the AT protocol resistant to failures as clients would simply switch to an […]

I took a trip to Longhoghton and Sugar Sands. The sea always looks so blue there.

If I go offline for a while, this is why. The HMRC have brought a winding up order against my broadband provider!

I wanted to give wsocial a try to see what it's like. It is so difficult to register that I'm suspect a lot of people just give up. I've had this "please wait" message for a week, after other problems.

Very interesting. A total opposite of what a lot of the "usual crowd" round here predict.

Isn't this exactly what North Yorkshire wanted when the aim is to improve housing opportunities for locals? Sounds fine to me.

I'm ambivalent on the em dash — it makes sentences look more modern. Of course the semicolon does the same job; it gives a rather traditional but dated feel. Comma splices are fine too, ignore what the grammar checkers say.
The AI overlords can pry the em dash from my cold dead hands—I’m not giving it up!
More Typos, Fewer Em Dashes: Writers Are Creating an Anti-AI ‘Literary Counterculture’

Novelists, journalists, and power LinkedIn posters are embracing first-person narratives and idiosyncrasies to avoid being mistaken for chatbots.

I finally received my wsocial invitation. It doesn't work. At random it shows "Looks like the wrong QR code", though my invitation had no QR code or ID, just a link, or "An error has occurred". I emailed for help and no response.

# I'll never laugh at Zeno again!

I always wondered how Zeno could not see the issue with his "Achilles and the Tortoise" paradox. I'll quote the paradox at the end.

This is important if you want to interact with people on the Fediverse. Follow @ap.brid.gy or you won't see it if they respond, boost, or like your messages.

#fediverse #bridge
@losttourist This is important if you want to interact. I've responded to some posts from Bluesky users and never getting an answer I don't know if they can see my responses.
Just a quick note for anyone following me on #bluesky.

This is a Mastodon account. It is bridged, which means my posts appear on Bluesky but ... and it's important ... if you're on Bluesky and you don't also make use of the Fedi Bridge service, I cannot see your interactions.

I can't see your […]

Why had I not heard of Emmy Noether and her theorems before?

This video is extremely interesting. Though the maths is beyond me I followed the gist. Einstein's theory of general relativity had a flaw. It was not consistent with the conservation of energy. Everyone has heard of Einstein but I […]
