    The River Arrow - Conkers and Consequentialisms
    Sam was still welded to the duvet when I went to see if he was up for fishing, but as expected despite saying he would be up for it, he looked up at me, and said "I'll give this one a miss". It wasn't exactly early either because it was 7.10am and he is up that time for school, however much like his mother bed is his happy place.What I …

    With One Stone
    <SATIRE> I've had a brilliant idea on how the Heffalumps can cast one stone and kill a bunch of annoying issues. It'll deal with the future of the nation; it'll deal with annoying immigrants (and, in particular, refugeesillegal immigrants);† it'll have yuuuuuuuge public health benefits, with all of the best words.

    16. Theatre Of Hate - Do You Believe In The West World? (Burning Rome)
    Number one for one week on 30 January 1982The idea that the cold war exercised a clammy grip on the imagination of eighties pop is a dominant cliche. There’s plenty of evidence to back it up, obviously. Duran Duran clumsily used the frequently mocked “you’re about as easy as a nuclear war” line, and Ultravox penned one of the eeriest pop ballads ever, “Dancing With Tears in My Eyes”, and …

    Realistic dialogue is here....
    Advanced Voice Mode on the OpenAI app is now avaialble in the UK. I’m getting pretty used to advanced releases and was hugely impressed by ChatGPT o1, with its open thinking and reasoning capabilities. Then got pretty excited by NotebookLM with its automatic podcast feature and other functionality.

    Sunday Secrets
    —-Email—–I saw the secret on your site that said “I love the idea of suicide hot lines…” and talked about people making sure total strangers will be okay. As one of those volunteers, I obviously can’t speak for everyone, but personally, I don’t think of the person on the other end of the phone as a stranger. I may only know them for a very short period of time, I …

    Battlefront German Grenadiers (15mm)
