Realised when generating my AI slop, I should really nostr is up a touch. Maybe it’s in the process of failing, but no one’s farming my data or curating my algorithm, so on balance, if it’s a failure, at least I’m happy.

“That sounds a lot like a dictator ship” “Well, if it works” Which is worse, a dictatorship, or when democratically politicians dictate rules that they decided to enact after getting elected on a different manifesto? #starwars re-educating me after so many years.

Gm nostriches, my Thursday out of the fiat mine may not look quite as I’d like, with a trip to the vet with the #catst (just a check up), so bike ride may not happen (MAY), but #coffeechain and other cat telling me enjoyment comes from within. Some tough watching on the news from the inquest into the Nottingham Stabbings a couple of years back, parents have been through a nightmare. Truly sickening hearing about all the “second chances” and “benefits of the doubt” that were given, but also true incompetence of the police for not locking the killer up sooner. No empathy for the perpetrators of these crimes, and no personal responsibility for their actions, mental health cannot be an actually “get out of jail free” card. On question, how did that monster get indefinite leave to remain?

Gm nostriches, barrelling through the week into the upcoming 4am arrival at the airport for a week away. Not feeling so busy at work so a little more time to work in the old tone but interesting, high tech homeless set up on the way into work. Ngl, when talking to the kids, I say some people prefer the homeless life, much less stress (rat race bull shit) and if you can combine that with a relatively warm safe place to sleep, maybe with a dog outhouse, the “prefer the homeless life” is a much easier argument to make. #coffeechain So as if meningitis fears weren’t enough, new “chicken pox in year x” letter from the kid’s school. And some wonder why kids are stressed out. Peace freaks, work to be done.

Gm nostriches, loving my new Tuesday routine of heading to school on the bikes with the first born. #catstr hanging out on the car unsure about this two wheels business!!!

Anyone for a high yield bond? 10y gilt may just be what you’re looking for, but “risk free” isn’t a label that is all honesty I can give to them. Emerging market characteristics, will this begin to cause some crack propagation?

Interest piece of private credit, all so “nothing to see here” until Jim Cramer wades in with opinion. New assessment of the situation, we’re proper fucked. Had assets freaks, jettison the yield products and diminish counter part risk!

Gm nostriches here’s to a wet Saturday morning, reflecting on the week gone by. Fascinating stuff coming out of the by election, an Urdu language social media post from the greens. Showing the use of the labour playbook of appealing to communities that will vote as a block/ votes are control by community leaders. Vote for us and you don’t even need to learn our language, we’re kind. Reform as already watering policies down and they will likely never be able to appeal to such groups. Konstantin Kisin with a very clear review and my new favourJavier Milei, about voting for stuff you want with “government money” “we can all be a whore with someone else’s arse”, why thank you sir. Currently interested in the second order “partners of the greens”, Hannah the plumber living with an animal testing “researcher”, Zack with a palliative care worker. Hmmm, choosing to sleep with merchants of death? Suppose MAID will be arriving in the uk once they get in power. Kind? My arse, oh……. Yeah it will likely be my arse they will be looking to mess with. #coffeechain working it’s magic, with an arrival of part 4, if you know, you know.

Gm Nostriches, happy Friday for all those who celebrate. Kicking the mind into gear for some teaching today, the subject, INNOVATION!!!! Material provided is so dull, so wracking my brain for some interesting examples to get them thinking, bring in some creativity and possibly some unintended consequences, and who knows, there may even be some engagement. Wondering whether to drop bitcoin as the greatest innovation at the end of each session. 🧐 But first #coffeechain, note, that is NOT a shot of Guinness, although it’s a nice thought.

Gm nostriches, happy Saturday, really enjoyed attempting to dislodge some established propaganda from the students’ minds. Made myself watch a UN sustainably development goals video 3 times, by the end I couldn’t hold back my distain for it from the students. No poverty? Everyone with a good job? Grow up you fucking commies. Note; I didn’t say this directly to the students, but it was close Grabbing a quiet #coffeechain with the visiting #dogstr as Ma is joined us for the weekend. She may be a flippin’ spaniel, but she is very pretty.

When the government/PM organises a chat with the government sanctioned media outlet to inform the country of how it is working to protect them from images online. “The government going into battle against ‘X’”. Is this what an openly authoritarian state does? Is this gaslighting? Is this propaganda?
