Rona, Mismanaged

The entire population of the planet just spontaneously decided to collectively ignore [COVID] and hope that it actually did go away.

Revolution Against AI

You should be well aware that I have opinions about Large Learning Models. Mainly that the techbros who insist they're good after all can go fuck off and die in a fire. Especially the ones that just outright stole all the grist for their "AI" mill.

Rant

Dumb Technology Please

Make no mistake, I am a nerd who loves progress and technology. I especially like the stuff that makes my life easier. Preferably whilst also not costing me my privacy or needing software updates just to do something mind-numbingly basic. Like, for example, cooking your food or keeping it cold.

Simple Solutions

The bougie fancy whatnot from the fancy-ass bougie bakeware shops was as useful to me as a meringue umbrella.

IMNSHO: Autism Representation done right

I can clearly imagine the neurotypical rage that would happen if... one of the heroes... was introduced while he was stimming as pictured above.

Life, Fuckups, and Trivialities

Whoopsy Doopsy

I'm feeling like a slacker despite getting lots of stuff done. The grindset has got to me, my dear readers. I feel like I'm failing you if I miss just one thing that I should have done. Never mind playing catch-up the next day, as I

Switching to Linux is not an easy task. Further to the point, I am a dummins.

Tandy Syndrome

Before some genius coined the word "enshittification" I knew the concept by a different term. "Tandy Syndrome".

Anxiety

The Anxiety is Real

I've been procrastinating on a lot of things. Today, I had some real good excuses. In-person time with MeMum, who did need me for an extended Leyland's tour of errands. And tech support. And a good gasbag, because who doesn't need a good gasbag?

Advertising Myself

Pitchfest Incoming

My heart's already going hell for leather at the mere thought of it.

Anger at the Details

Over the passage of several baking days, I began to suspect something was awry.

Every single time I talk about someone quitting smoking, or even mention the possibility that smoking might be -youknow- even slightly bad, my inbox or replies absolutely explode with advocates.

Vaccinate – OR YOU’RE A TERRORIST!

Pay Your Taxes – OR YOU’RE A TERRORIST!

As you might guess, this particular blog post is aimed loosely at the rich and powerful. You know, the very rich and powerful.

But Does it Though?

The chief objection I always hear about disaster prevention, especially large stuff that’s generally the government’s responsibility, is that it “does nothing”.

Look Out! I’m Going Off!

The Australian Government, in its infinite alleged wisdom are setting up a committee to look into Autism and enquire about it, why it’s there, what needs must be done, and all that other balderdash.

Just Written That Way

Recently, the BBC added another incarnation into Doctor Who’s expansion pack past. Shouldn’t be a worry, they did it with John Hurt’s “War Doctor” and nobody was tremendously upset.

A Little Research Plz?

A little less than a week ago, my Beloved and I had a chance to enjoy the Doctor Who episode, Nikola Tesla’s Night of Terror. All well and fine.

Action Needed

If you’ve been following my daily diary entries on my hub site, or paying attention to my Tumblr feed, you may already know that I’m more than a little miffed with the Department of Status Quo of late.

Working Things Out in Meatspace

There have to be thousands of tools to help writers out there. I automatically avoid all the ones that are pay-to-play because I'm firkin broke.
