Last Notes npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…cm0q At first glance, I thought you meant me😵💫 npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek A reminder that the Great Northern Horse Slaughter is under way at Aintree. Just one dead so far but there's still the big one tomorrow. No statistics on the horses that are killed after being injured after the event. npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…7ndt This is funny because it’s true. As a Brit I found NZ felt behind the times in people’s behaviour. People so considerate, generous and polite. None of the modern rush or selfishness. But being given a long black I concluded their coffee is the best. AFAICT it’s made like an Americano with less hot water, so just the right strength for me. @nprofile…e4c7 @nprofile…2wxk npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…39ss please do npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…39ss Thank you so much for introducing me to Josh Johnson. This guy’s take on racism is excellent. npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…60lz I agree with your sentiment completely. But the past tense is needed here. #BBCNews has failed repeatedly over the past 10 years, gifting Farage unwarranted frequent appearances, including over 36 on Question Time, more than most government ministers. npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…vfmd I don’t know what flavour of news you get over there, but have you factored that in? It’s having a big effect on my mood. Making me cut out completely with puzzles. And shouting at the screen. Hope it passes soon. npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek My posts yesterday about the evil, murderous bastards in Israel trying to exterminate the Gaza population, and all the hateful Jews supporting them or excusing their actions led to accusations of ant-semitism. To those who took issue I ask: Do these New York rabbis, protesting against the starvation of the Gaza people, look anti-Semitic to you, motherfuckers? https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/936/204/321/681/357/original/5fe38c322bde1c42.jpeg npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…77n4 @nprofile…t5r6 Drummed into me by a spiritual guide. He had a (vertical) frieze on his wall of people with one hand up being lifted and one hand down lifting the person below. npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…y3mz Have you ever thought you might be #neurodivergent? 😁 npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…y3mz I have just been lost for the last hour or so looking at your blog of film reviews. Remarking our close agreement on films we have both seen. Where in Norfolk, may I ask? npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…t5r6 Such insight. I hate the way we're expected to make other people feel better when they've made themselves feel upset because they've not got what they want from us. But I am fortunate that I don't grind to a halt in these situations. Go well, Valerie. npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…jxga If I wanted to know what was happening on X, I would be on X. Why are you there! npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek @nprofile…y54t There is a brilliant book called “Your erroneous zones” which unpicks all the BS dumped on us by parents, schools and society. Starting with “Do your best!” https://media.mstdn.social/media_attachments/files/114/081/137/875/150/304/original/e14087a74ad4fc2d.jpeg npub18s2zeuaqt2q9560wz4s770wrltkzvncwgkaw06ct8kjdsjnnh23sdwfj09 Dziadek I’m qualified to talk about mediocre writers because I is one. And I fear the growth of copy and scripts written by #AI. Because machines cannot learn passion, develop fascinating insights or innovate. Because it’s only going to rearrange words, phrase and ideas scraped from writers, most of whom are mediocre, like me. Like the news presenter using a picture to make a “witty” pun on a visual, or the scriptwriter with hackneyed ideas. AI will never understand what makes great writing.
