A photo of a crab by hydrothermal vent at the bottom of the ocean. "This creature has adapted to the crushing pressure and oppressive darkness."
I'm trying. I'm really trying.
Yes, hello, is that God? Yeah, hi. I have a complaint. You gave me this brain that’s designed for finding berries and avoiding lions and now people are ‘just circling back’ to see if we can ‘move the needle’ on ‘key initiatives’? NONE of those things are berries.
Donnie Darko 2 is wild!

A large rectangular coffee table, a wooden box six inches high with black metal box legs.
The same rectangular coffee table but part of the lid is lifted up on pneumatic arms to make a higher surface to eat off, allowing access to the storage inside.
After a bit of a hiatus I put together the coffee table. Check it out, it's all pneumatic and sh*t. 😋
Honestly, I think there's a lot of scope in that.
Zelenskyy: “Ukraine’s experience in countering Shahed drones is recognised by all American experts.
“Even countries that tried to independently use interceptor drones have realized that without Ukrainian specialists and technologies, it works much worse.”

Solitude, painting by Francis Danby (1793-1861), Irish artist from County Wexford.
This is amazing.
When the government kills a crucial report, independent scientists decide to write it anyway and release it outside of government channels.
That’s science serving society, even when our political leaders don’t.
Lunch is chips and curry sauce and some chocolate milk.
If you find something that looks like my writing in Claude, here's a good reason: it's on the legal record that Anthropic stole every fucking book I've ever written. That's not the AI's writing. It's mine.
The NYT knows this, by the way. This is pro-AI propaganda and they fucking know it.
Amazing how all those six-figure deals were inked in the first couple of hours of London Book Fair.
Except, of course, they weren't. Whatever you do, don't feel crap because you're not an LBF darling. Most of this stuff was sorted out months ago and the announcements saved for this week.
Thankfully that's all the deliveries, so when I want to go to the shop to buy cake I can.
Happy birthday Fred. 😁🎂🎉
Celebrate my birthday by reading and maybe even signing up to my new email newsletter, mixing together the things I write with the things that inspire the things I write. invisible-ink.beehiiv.com
They get mad when people on SNAP want to buy soda
And the last delivery, bloody DHL, decided it was okay to abandon my package in the lobby instead of bringing it to my door, lazy sod.
Uh oh. I sat down. Big mistake.
To be fair, it is a comfy sofa. 😏

See that's the thing: creative work has almost never been very profitable. But creatives have always paid the bills by using the same skills on some more boring task like ad copy or art commissions or something.
Giving that "boring" work to AI starves creatives.
A large number of self assembly boxes in the hallway. They're very big. Wardrobe and bed big.
Finished just in time for delivery number two.
Lunch first though I think, before I tackle that.
A three seater beige sofa with a chaise extension sticking out the right hand side.
That's the sofa built. Only took two and a half hours! 😥
A pile pf very big boxes in the middle of my living room.
That's delivery number one, a sofa bed, a swinging egg chair, and a coffee table.
Pencil drawing of a rabbit with under a fill moon in front of some hops. Moon charms on hat.
Well then. You all were very keen on the mouse witch so perhaps you will also enjoy a rabbit witch.
Yes, those are hops.
No, I'm not sorry.
The Ig Nobel awards (for science that makes you laugh and think at the same time) have traditionally been given in the US but this year they are moving because of concerns about safety of winners and journalists from Trumps regime
I'm not even sure I can see the devil horns.
Also, check out the article for a picture of the bench. If you hadn't told me they were meant to be devil horns I'd never have known. I'm not even sure which part they're talking about, the design on the back or the points on either end?
