Author and dog lover - multitasking...mostly looking for the ball. Merrily building all manner of applications with coding agents, and mostly being very polite to them, in anticipation of the day they takeover ;p
I don’t know if Reeves is doing understated self-satire or bestowing the learnings of her experience? I do remember spending months after she and Starmer took office being confused and concerned that they clearly did have a fucking plan. And here we are. Bravo. Goodbye.

I have done the impossible! I built a micro-blogging function into my website. And I...gave it an edit function so I can correct my typos after posting. They said it couldn't be done. It was not possible. It is! I just had an auto coding agent do it in like 1min. All it took was the courage to try.
The face of a dog (who has had her breakfast) who is worried I won’t share my Vegemite toast with her. Seriously. So much worry. Enviable state.
Just had a fresh Opus chat give an honest appraisal of a personal project. Got it about right. Especially like “clearly a solo project that’s been iterated on extensively”. You can say that again 🤣🙌
When I was a teenager I used to give my Dad the books I had read to read. He did. It was a good thing we shared (Mostly sci fi, fantasy etc at the time). My teenage daughter has just spontaneously done the same. I will read and read. This makes me happy.
Forgive the award winning cinematography. But my last dog I never taught this trick as I assumed it was really hard. It’s not. She’s riddled with bullet holes now 🤣🙌
Trump’s claim to have designed new White House ballroom himself endorsed by party
It’s a good show, but you got to stop the country to change anything probably? We had some massive anti-Brexit marches which achieved f all politically, because the bad actors had power and were determined.
I think you’re in danger of misrepresenting him. The fuller statement makes a reasonable case. It’s not some tankie ranting. He’s not saying just pull out of NATO. He is making a reasonable statement about reliability of NATO/USA under Trump and how the world has shifted and the need to face that.
Here! The legacy of Cameron and Osborne unchallenged by change to a Labour government. Giant and wealthy supermarket will provide bags for you to buy food from it for it to donate to the poor on your invisible behalf! Bravo.
I recently listened to this excellent series and thought…all those complaints about King George III sound very similar to King Trump…
This is the one US Con pod I listen to to try and understand their thinking. The hosts invite a range of guests on and give them a fair hearing. But seeing this as their topic again this week? With the state of free speech in USA and Epstein etc…I shake my head.
Gatekeepers in the garden this morning. What a great name for a butterfly.
I really like growing as much as I can by seed. Gives me a thrill. Although I’ve found quality of seeds has declined since Brexit (I’m serious). Now an interesting version of that is the packet of sweet peas I’ve planted this year. Was half sweet peas and half purple vetch (still pea family lol).
I like to grow annual flowers, which means snails are mortal enemies. But. This one shall live because it’s picturesque. Capricious. *almost not posting as worried big snail will ruin my day. **the wonder of social media.
