Gm nostriches, happy new year for all those who celebrate and be happy being the fool, someone wants to call you. “Yeah mate, Bitcoin’s the money that’s just made up!” Looking at the news, where the people who haven’t got their shit together will be getting more support, while those struggling to bring up their kids through grit and hard work will be doing what they always do, turn down the thermostats and putting on another jumper. When it is your money that you earn, you just have more respect for its value than it being handed out, “I don’t deserve to be cold” they say Also, if a picture could ever show someone feeling the effects of being nearly 2 years into a job they’re unable to do. Maybe Keir does have a sense of humour after all putting this poor lady through this.

Ga nostriches, day at the marina, time on a boat, saw some dolphins, then some caves, walked a very long way with the fam and now waiting for my calzone to be cooked, so thought it would be rude not to sample a local tipple. Take it easy freaks, always aim to slow down.

When Bitcoin is just there is nature and nostr is somewhere everyone knows your name….. maybe

Gm nostriches, happy Monday, hoping there are some challenges ahead for each of you to better yourself by overcoming. Off to the old town today to attempt to get a little culture into the fam. Alongside that will be looking for some sardines and local wine to get some localness in me, already have enough culture. 🧐 But first, #coffeechain

Gm nostriches, have a good one, sending vibes from a sunny yet chilly Portugal. #coffeechain just what was needed but looking out for a local cafe!!

Super early Gm, go on holiday they say, it’ll be fun, they say. Eldest currently unsure if 2.30 counts as morning or middle of the night.

Gm nostriches, busy day ahead with the final preps for holiday tomorrow, 4am arrival at airport (😕), but not before a day where I get to sit through students doing multiple choice tests, with access to the internet and notes (and so obviously ChatGPT). Hey Dug, with your multiple degrees, ever felt like parts of your job are a little demeaning, pointless and ready to just be replaced? #coffeechain and #voltaire holiday reading should help get me through.

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?
