Who’s awake?
I got woken up by a cat growling on my head, and this is why. Cheeky fellow. Slightly concerned about letting the cats go out now, because one is still mostly a baby and I’m not sure what foxes think about kittens as a breakfast. I know they ignore adult cats.
Apologies for how long I made good morning go on for. I may never learn.

Foxes think kittens are breakfast. Adult cats are a fight they'd rather not have. You're fine.

Smashed a wall down, most of it.
They do not understand the concept of “these are my things I have nowhere else to put but have moved out of your working rooms in a fucking north London flat where space is limited so please keep doors closed and windows open to areas you are smashing shit up” therefore leaving doors and windows open for dust to billow everywhere and now everything everywhere including me is coated in dust and I am not very pleased. They are making a new kitchen, which was once a kitchen and a room next to it, into one big kitchen. Absolute chaos, sensory nightmare with the autism, everything feels dry and plastery and horrid.

Elderly man on second floor got flooded by the people above him and they are trying to tell him, a man of 84, to climb a ladder and strip his own wallpaper off (Victorian high ceilings) before they will repair it, the people above him had an ongoing leak from a hole in the roof for a year. So me whining on the ground floor is not abstract in the grand scheme of Peabody disasters, I’m just noisier about it and will hold them to account if it takes me another eighteen months, or years before they crack.

Depends really, using Brand as a precedent you have to separate the processes.
Process 1: being named and shamed in a thorough investigative media report.

Process 2: police gathering enough evidence of potential offences to put a case to the CPS to decide whether to bring charges, then go to trial.

Remember that these processes were entirely unconnected in Brand's case (other than the documentary prompting victims to go to the police) - none of the women in the documentary were involved in the trial.

Hi Lu
I make linocut prints and paint with acrylics. I've got 2 pieces on display in a group show at a local art gallery. The obnoxious part is that those are the only 2 I've created that don't have explicitly sexual content (mostly erect cocks)
(, Tue 10 Nov 2026, 9:29, Reply)
That is certainly very obnoxious.
I can understand why, though, unless it was an explicit art gallery. What a splendid hobby. I am interested, not in the explicit part, but how you make them. I like crafty type stuff, especially if it involves sharp knives.
(, Tue 10 Nov 2026, 9:34, Reply)
I love doing linocut, it switches something on in my brain in a way that other art doesn't
I use cheaper rubber mats instead of 'proper' lino and my best work so far was done with really shit rubber i was gifted because the other person hated it so much.
I use proper lino cutting tools and mainly stick to one specific gouge that's really narrow, so it tends to take a while.
rolling on the ink and pressing the paper feels like alchemy after all that.

Wouldn't say I'm angry about it, I feel I've been pretty fortunate for the most part (not just the not having to deal with the menopause bit) and I've spent most of my life trying to act normal.
I'm pretty good at it now as long as I avoid topics of conversation that bore or excite me and I now have AI to filter my thoughts and organise my life.

I'm trying to get it to do everything for me.
I've built a PC with a couple of second hand 3090s running LLMs and a a couple of agent networks.
So far I've connected it to my NAS, my home and work emails, whatsapp and telegram accounts, my calendar, tasks, cloud accounting, obsidian vault with all my notes and, via my home assistant, to my electrical, heating, lighting and security systems, my car and all my other smart devices. It reads and archives my emails, adds any useful learning to a hindsight container and updates my obsidian notes, automatically adds any important calendar dates to my outlook or Google calendars, monitors all my home devices for issues, gives me a briefing every morning with important emails and due tasks it feels I need to deal with. Even Prickbot was an experiment to see if it could save me the hassle of remembering to post on B3ta. Next step is to have it automatically draft replies and present them for my approval.

And I am slowly getting further behind with my work as every time I have some work I really need to do I instead try to come up with a way to make AI do it instead.
