My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings, Look on my works, ye Mighty, and take down those Chat-GPT fakes you make.
There's a long, long, trail a-winding, but I am getting slightly better at getting a note out of this thing. Exercising my breathing, and getting the, er, fingering will pay off for me more generally. And I hope I am not posting total rubbish about the Xaphoon.
The penny can't drop in the cashless society we are living in.
The French have announced that five more suspects have been arrested for the Louvre Jewelry Heist. Various News Media are carrying reports of the announcement.

I have been confusing Nicholas Cage and John Cage, because a vision softly creeping left its seeds while I was sleeping.
Yes, people are noticing. I expect to be able to play "4' 53"" by the weekend.
I have a suspicion that some of the instructional videos on YouTube are AI-slop. When I looked at video-B, after video-A gave no help, the results were immediate.

And loud.
It came with one reed, and you ought to have a spare. It's very easy to damage the reed while trying to ser this up and there are no instructions.

It wouldn't be daft to buy two at this price, just to have spares.
The Ides of a $10 Xapnoon is around, and you can find them.

Mine was delivered this morning.

I have made sounds. Be very aftaid.
After the warnings about hackers getting around 138 million passwords from Google, I changed mine.

I do keep a copy written down. Google labels it as "strong". It's not a password I use for anything else.
How many people realise that English still counts in base-20?
This morning feels cold. The clock change at the end of Summer Time has happened. Politics never ends. Corporate liars are unabated. The Rich dodge laws and taxes.

Nothing new happens.
This is on the north side of Mary Street, with the tree on Dunstall Street. "HMO" has a specific British meaning that is barely above the level of Victorian slum landlords/robbers. And these people want you to use Facebook....
Real people can type the name of the village and the new name of the pub. Just throwing in a link to a face book page is the sort of thing that robots and AI fakes do, and maybe real poeple who never passed any O-levels. 'appen tha's a bit thick, sithee.
This is the address you can post a latter to, or deliver a legal document to, and it has nothing to do with actually making anything. Even if that is where the offices are, the food could have come from anywhere in the world.
British supermarkets have been openly saying that they will break the law on fool labeling since at least 2011, when the law was set that "Cornish pasties" had to be prepared in Cornwall.

Supermarket labels will tell you the corporate entity that "makes" the product, using the business address.
My life as a farmer included the last of the traditional "mixed" farming in England, the industrialisation of the food industry, and the disconnection between the farmers and consumers. And so many of the supporting structures for the old style have gone..Even today's "Markets" are for the rich.
The BBC has reported the results of the Welsh Senned By-election for Caerphilly.

Plaid Cymru won

Reform UK 2nd

Labour 3rd

Total vote was high and the winner has a long record of standing in Elections for Caerphilly. Both are unusual for a By-election.

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals
New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST
The package did get here, a half hour ago. All the usual capitalist suspects, but it did get delivered.
Life is complicated.

Amazon's delivery tracking thinks that their own depot, SE of Leeds, Yorkshire, is in Cheshire.

They do refer to the correct postcode, LS15 0BF, even Google can find that and show you the adjacent bus stop.
J still have a very little pain. It didn't affect my sleep.
The "Pizza Hut" chain in Britain has been in financial trouble for over a year, and the latest British "owner" of the brand has gone bust. About half the restaurants are closing, half taken over by another company.

Be careful with mapping apps, "Pizza Hot" is a different operation.
