Was looking for something to read to my 8yo, and then suddenly, had a brainwave! So we're starting John Chrisopher's Tripods trilogy 😀

Oops I accidentally double-negatived myself and designed a mutable blockchain.

Going to start a blockchain system to keep a universal non-immutable log of when people I respect fell for the allure of crypto bullshit.

Unworkable proposal: month-long paid post-COVID sabbatical for the entire country so that we can try to remember what existing as our normal selves is like.

Either that or "Don't Panic".

Which, to be fair, if I got a tattoo, is probably what I'd get.

Remembered I dreamt about getting a tattoo, only the artist started doing a huge thing cringey on my back, when I just wanted a "42" on my shoulder.

My touchpad takes half a second to respond whenever I start moving. It's driving me (not that) slowly insane.

Might start an NFT system for the natural numbers. I reckon people would pay quite a bit to own 0. #satire

Introduced 8yo daughter to “Day of the Tentacle Remastered” on PS4. I think this makes me a good parent, in my book at least.

Youngest has developed a habit of hiding the TV remote down the side of her sofa cushion. I’m considering not nipping it in the bud, in order to preemptively annoy her future partners.

Anyone want to help me make a Cosmo-quiz style website based on Umberto Eco's 14 signs of Ur-Fascism? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Definitions_of_fascism#Umberto_Eco

When a musician’s name came up suddenly with a sad face in our casual slack, it used to mean they’d died. Now it means they’ve started talking about NFTs.

Missed a sertraline dose yesterday, and now my brain is going all floofy

Time is monkey

OK brain, now I’ve done the stupid haiku, can I go back to sleep?

Why this had to be a haiku I don’t know. 5am is not a normal time. Fortunately, although I had to chase down the noisy cans, it wasn’t my bin.
