I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

"Bot traffic to social media sites dropped drastically because drones blew up Russian data centres" feels like cyberpunk

Calling it Authors First but using AI. Christ.

What a scummy move. Successful authors should be championing creatives, not pulling up the ladder behind them and letting spellcheck make slop

Met the CrossFit yoke carry and farmer's carry this morning which have me huge nostalgia for watching World's Strongest Man* as a kid. *My weights were somewhat lighter

Latest far right malign effect - unfounded accusations of immigrants stealing wild birds to eat have led to a physical assault on a volunteer rescuing a cygnet. The Greenwich Wildlife Network statement is long, but worth a read - it's thoughtful, courageous and impeccably argued:

four years ago I posted this image of paleontologist Jan Smit looking at rocks and his son-in-law replied with something even better

We have a winner lol

The last one in Sydney was a week. In four days, we could be seeing a new Hannah Fry meme every eight hours, until they are coming every four minutes. Marshal, we should witness a double event within seven days.

I *know* the email won't arrive until later, doesn't stop me checking!

Is everything aching because of the flu vaccine or the CrossFit circuit test...

This piece of the puzzle isn't talked about nearly enough. I am willing to bet it's not the kids who do their own homework who will be left behind in the future. The stans are screaming this because they need it to be true or they are proper fucked.

Yes, loving the Discomfort Blanket episodes

I'm tempted to check out Sapphire waves Steel now!

Heads up for UK folks, The Substance just got added to BBC iPlayer.

That's great to hear, I love the show so much I was weirdly worried it wouldn't be as good

Well done! I'd love to get to that stage. Little victories: today my squat technique was good enough that my trainer ditched a 10 minute "squat improvement" session he'd planned in, hurray!

Hardest CrossFit session yet, but I can do so much more than six weeks ago!

Thinking of it as evangelical is a helpful lens, thanks.
