I feel like people are constantly accusing other people of not being “serious” and I don’t know for sure but I blame Succession. I hate it, maybe because I didn’t rate the show or maybe I have a prejudice about the kind of people I think loved the show. But whatever, get a better insult.

I’ve got a nasty cold, maybe Covid, so perhaps I’m feeling particularly grumpy but I fucking hate autumn. Cold, damp, dark, seasonal illnesses. It sucks.

Felt like shit for well over a week now and I am ready to go on a murderous rampage. Coughing all night every night. Sense of taste still fucked. Rotten headache.

Hungry a lot of the time then I try to eat something and I’m nearly sick from the taste. This is the worst I’veever had Covid. Gutted that vaccine wasn’t available to me on the nhs.

Another on the list of "things that are obvious from the evidence yet ignored" is "current immigration policy will deliver a great big hole in future budgets". The OBR currently assumes net migration bottoms out at 200k then rises. That isn't going to happen

Yes indeed, as is often the case. See also: “Labour are losing more votes to the left than the right”, “Kemi is more popular but the Tories are not”, and “Most people really dislike Nigel Farage” - all as obvious as the Pope’s confessional status, yet all routinely missed or ignored.

Still feel shite. These last few days have been the illest I’ve felt my whole life. Can’t wait for it to pass, not too long now surely.

Next year I’m going to buy a Covid jab. Feeling this shit for several days really sucks. Noticed Covid tests were sold out everywhere. I worry that this may be a bad winter for vulnerable people.

Stories is such a good way of putting this. Can a novel be full of pain and suffering? Clearly yes. Does a fictional character suffer in the real world? They're fictional don't be a dumbass.

2. But Anthropic researchers say they see patterns that suggest that Claude can. The employees at Anthropic are telling themselves stories based on the words they input into the software and the words that come back out. >>

Feel particularly shit it has to be said. If you can avoid getting this strain of Covid I’d recommend you do that.

So, Banksy bought a used yacht, repaired it and retrofitted it to serve as a rescue boat to save migrants in the central Mediterranean. The whole project cost the artist $860,000. Since 2020, the boat has saved more than 3,800 people. londondaily.com/banksy-funds...

They should make the David Walliams Alton Towers thing a Jacqueline Wilson world where you can experience being born into a dustbin, having an eating disorder and being groomed by a teacher

People seem to get really agitated by what they consider to be bad behaviour by cyclists and jumping red lights comes up a lot. I have to say in Edinburgh I’ve seen a lot of occasions where cyclists jump red lights in a completely safe way and all it does is improve the overall flow of traffic.

Quite a lot of the junctions have been changed to let cyclists go first as well. It just makes sense to let cyclists clear the junction first.

Rewatching Slow Horses and season 1 is very entertaining. Can’t believe they somehow manage to get away with that theme tune too.

I’m all for Scottish independence but tomorrow seems a little hasty.
