People used to make remarkable things from wood and stone. Now we put virtual cat ears and whiskers on a photo and think we're geniuses. We worship shady billionaires and crooks who'll phuq anyone for a few quid, piss in the water & charge us to drink it.
We are devolving.

I keep getting told by agents that publishers aren't interested in books about AI. They must be the only PEOPLE on the planet who aren't... #A.I.STRAIN

In reality, it's an early morning view from my bathroom window... In F'rage's words, this is evidence that hordes of boat people are flooding the country, shagging your cars, eating your bins and stealing your doctors.

I think this kind of sums up the whole Christmas ding dong this year. Lots of luck to all for 2025. I imagine it will be a tough one.

Apparently, hunting causes no harm to "neither man nor beast". I'm not sure what in creation that makes a fox then. It must belong to a different classification of living thing, something I'm sure foxes will think of as they get torn to pieces by packs of hounds this Christmas time... HO HO HO.

Spent some hours walking round Bath Christmas Market yesterday. It felt nice having people fill a city centre rather than an out of town warehouse park. Was how it should be. Not so impressed that none of the buskers sang any Christmas songs. It's the only time I've wanted to hear them this year.

Always like to check out the local art scene to gauge the neighbourhood. In Somerset they're still celebrating / or bringing back the growler. It does have a "time stand still" kind of quality about the place I can't quite put my finger on.

I used to walk along this path with my mum when I was a kid. I was thinking of dedicating a bench in her memory but it looks like the local council have decided to get rid of the benches and replace them with old mattresses, and a tent if anybody can be bothered to put it up.

The Daily Star's front pages are rapidly becoming my favourite thing to see in the morning. Especially glorious in a world that makes you cry if you don't laugh. I choose laughter.

Just seen this on another site. They got the labelling wrong on the photo. They are not (c.e.o), (c.m.o), (c.o.o), (c.t.o), they are all (c.u.n.t)s

Made a pleasant change to go and watch a gig last night. Not so pleasant having to pay £20 for two drinks on top of a big wedge to Ticketmaster. Not surprising people are staying in more, & pubs & clubs are closing.

I shot this just after sunrise on the end of a pier in England. It's grim up north 😊

Have I watched too many episodes of Thomas the Tank Engine while off my tits, or can anybody else see the face in the tunnel wall too?

There are some places round here so crime ridden, that the cctv cameras are watching the cctv camera signs, making sure they don't get nicked. Either that or the security centre boss is robbing the house on the other side of the street and doesn't want to be seen...

To all the climate sceptics who ask why should we make an effort when the big polluters like China, Russia, India and the US carry on regardless... Because it's the right thing to do, and it will make a difference to the little green paradise that we call home.

Quite sinister if you associate the word Salem with witch trials... If, however, we ignore American influence, Salem in Welsh, Arabic & Hebrew means "peace", turning this sinister Cotswolds chapel into a sanctuary of love.

Great stomp through the woods today. Took a wrong turning and found this whacky corridor leading to nowhere... Or does it only lead somewhere when the stars align in a certain way?
If you write the book, send me a copy, I'm fighting with my own story-based demons today...

Since returning to the UK I noticed lots of red phone boxes converted to defribulator points. I wondered if old post boxes could be converted into charging points or public email hubs. But realised kids would probably just pee on them or smash them up.

If I were a dog, I would drag my human to this pub all the time. If the water's as good as the cider he keeps banging on about, we'd both leave a lot happier.

I´m still leaning to the luddite side of the road, not trusting to save my work to the cloud in case it rains.
