Millions of people are so unproductive they have to wait until the government mandates their employer has to pay them more, because they legally have to. Also, those employers who can’t afford the rise will replace the staff with a machine (or just back them) increasing unemployment and anyway, the increase will also drive inflation so many effect of a “payrise” will be will be very short lived. Have a lovely day. image

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. image

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. image

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 image

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. image

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. image

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. image

“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. image

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.
