@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gy@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gy@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyReading the news, it’s really hard not to think that we’re utterly fucked, isn’t it? Even watching Simon Reeve in the remote Yukon last night was depressing as climate change and uncontrolled human activity is fundamentally changing the ecosystem. Depressing.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gy7am outing in the quad as it’s our last chance as a crew before Saturday’s head race. The steering cable snapped at 3.5k, so we had to touch steer back and abandon our plan of a dry run. Still well worth doing and better now than in the race.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gy10p more expensive! Imagine.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyWatching the Ipcress File and marvelling that we know Harry Palmer is a gourmand because he buys the more expensive tinned mushrooms. 1965, eh?
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyAdobe have pushed an app update at me that promises the ability to have a PDF read to me over CarPlay. Game changer. Those long car journeys will fly by.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyTrevor is #rowing with us again for the next few weeks. He’s from Sydney and comes back every year or so to visit his 90-something year old dad. It’s always a pleasure to see him. He likes rowing on the Trent as his club usually rows in Sydney Harbour, so they can only get out when the ferries […]
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gySo, in answer to the question, “what would Jesus do?”, the answer is to livestream a firing squad. Obvious, really.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyWitcher 3 *is* my cup of tea. I bought it in about 2015 and never really got into it, but I’m all in now. All those people who listened to me rattling on about Skyrim did tell me. Well, I got there in the end. Even the few quests I did before feel different as I’ve actually paid attention […]
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyMy arms still hurt from Saturday’s vaccinations and my cold, 2 weeks in and apparently on the way out, has just introduced a scratchy throat into the mix. Lovely. Still, a good 20 minutes @ 26 on the erg this evening and off out for a paddle with the race crew at 7am. Maybe a nap tomorrow […]
@iandunt.bsky.socialReposted by @swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyFinally got around to watching Supergirl. People were quite down on it but I don't think they were anything like harsh enough. Whoever decided to put a rape plot into that film should be barred from contributing to any future movies.

@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyWatching Lord Finkelstein getting emotional on #Newsnight about the Green’s motion on Zionism and a very patient Ellie Chowns (who actually opposed the motion) trying to explain that she opposed the motion because of the danger of getting into endless debates about words with disputed meanings […]
@albnelson.beige.party.ap.brid.gyReposted by @swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyI tried getting hired on LinkedIn by writing an essay about Spock, maybe that will work better here.
When folks have asked me why I’m moving from consulting to seeking a job, I’ve sometimes said “I want to be part of a bridge crew.” It’s my Trekkie way of saying […]
@fak.cupoftea.social.ap.brid.gyReposted by @swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyAnyone commenting on the Green Party Zionism is racism motion should be forced to replace 'Zionism' with the definition from the motion 'a political ideology which called for the creation – and, now it exists, the continuity – of an ethnonationalist Jewish State in historic Palestine to the […]
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyWell, this should definitely shore up his continuing popularity with the good folks of the UK.
Great idea.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyExperimenting with OneNote for note-taking on my iPad. Pretty good. Especially now I’ve worked out how to insert spaces.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gy@WiteWulf yeah. It’s an awkward one. Friend of a friend but now within the circle. I’m certainly wise enough not to engage in debate. There’s wisdom in a mute, I think.
@swisslet.mas.to.ap.brid.gyHis latest post simply says “I AM A ZIONIST”. It’s a lot for a Monday morning.
