Dear UK, shut up already about democratic due process or it not being in a party manifesto anyone voted on and just be grateful for this free digital id that’s kindly been arranged for you - It’ll fix everything, pinky promise! Tony Blair’s son’s already built it, it’s going to be great, you’ll love it! The automated lottery war conscription function is a total peach. Enjoy your servitude you ingrates.

In recent weeks, I’ve returned to learning some guitar pieces that I learned (some incompletely) over 20 years ago. It’s amazing to experience how the brain slowly remembers something that it previously knew - the magic of muscle memory as it recovers the ability to play passages I’d thought completely forgotten and to string the movements together. But it’s also made me think a lot about the passing of time and the past. I’ve found my mind serving me up memories of people and places from around that time that I hadn’t thought about for years, I guess the brain keeps it all stored together? I remembered a line from a Vonnegut book I read around then too ‘Listen: Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time’.

I’ve been trying out @Keychat and that is a really great NOSTR messaging app and already much more. It’s exciting to see where this goes.

Only found out about @White Noise today and am trying it out, looks promising.
