@mikegalsworthy My friend’s kids are Welsh speakers. They speak English with Peppa Pig accents and intonation.

Good morning you lovely lot! I’ve woken up this morning to find that theDemocrats have retained control of the senate! It seems as though the #RedWave didn’t materialise after all! I am very happy about it. Have a lovely one. #USPolitics #Midterms #Senate

Last #fediverse comment and then I go to bed. There’s nothing watching you. You can like a picture of a cat and nothing will steer 100 more cat pictures into your feed. Nothing fills your screen with cat food and cat beds and ads for cat services. You can visit the timeline of someone #NSFW and nobody knows and nobody cares. It doesn’t feed anybody’s AI model about you and who you are and what you’re like. You’re not for sale here. The timeline: it’s chronological. There’s no steering it or reordering it or buying the top slot. It’s just like the weather. It just happens. Lean into it.

Very flattered to be quoted by Jonathan Wilson in his latest Guardian piece, referencing Trust Thermoclines and how things like the Qatar World cup drive football closer to that.

There is a second problem, however.

Top-flight football's pursuit of global brand status has priced young fans out of emotionally connecting with clubs at all. That means they don't HAVE a Trust Thermocline.

DEATH AND DELIRIUM from SANDMAN Pencil. Private commission. #Sandman #commissions #neilgaiman #pencil

There's a 10 day long retreat for Authors and Illustrators in Accra in May 2023 (when Accra will be World Book Capital). It will be a celebration of art and literature for young readers, and looks like a marvelous opportunity.

@bykimbo When I was a kid, I can still remember seeing this painting at my Papa's (mother's father) house. Then, after his passing, at my mother's house. Now it's at my mother's newer house. I have always been obsessed with it and after she passes she's made it clear it will go to me. It's the only piece of Art that I have wanted to "own". My Papa got it from his aunt, she bought it on a trip to France. I once tried to find the artist, but with conflicting results. It's signed Pauiin '42. Can't find a good photo of it, but my wife had one with it in the background.

@bykimbo Wasily Kandinski (his geometric stuff).

Wow, look at the latest Banksy in Irpin, Ukraine 🇺🇦

Afternoon

It's actually pretty amazing that a open source product developed by a tiny non-profit, running on a network of servers self-funded by volunteer administrator and moderators has managed to absorb some portion of one of the world's largest for-profit social networks.

It's a miracle the whole thing didn't collapse or catch fire.

Great job everyone.

went to the ER this morning for heart palpitations
nurse: has anything changed in your lifestyle for the past few days
me: yes the democrats are on the verge of somehow keeping both the house and the senate

The "Nearly Home" trees.

Set on a hilltop overlooking the main road between Cornwall and Devon these trees have acted as a marker for generations of travellers that their journey is almost done.

This was taken one winter evening when the sun was almost done with its daily journey and the light was just perfect.
