I wrote about the fake account blowup on X this weekend. A genuine post-truth nightmare and proof that these companies have polluted their platforms so thoroughly and traded reality for profit that they've undermined the very idea of what the internet is supposed to be.

Having a laugh trying to get an Air Source Heat Pump installed. All the installers say the proposal automatically falls under PD and pre-Planning say it needs permission. Nobody knows whether to apply for an LDC or Planning. Thinking of asking the Planning Officer, but counter-productive?

Called it the end of chilli season. Distributed to neighbours, but still have a couple of kilos left over!

Spent time in Ikea yesterday. We worked out the game shortcuts easily. Also stand by the disabled door to get in first (though everyone else knew that).
Then off to Wing Yip, where my 26yr old son got carded for attempting to buy sauce that had alcohol in it.

@robinedgar59.bsky.social Wow that was antisocial. I've blocked him so I don't get engaged with his stuff again. Honestly didn't realise you could do that on bluesky!

I've always felt that the existence of the algorithms - and thus an implicit editorial function (especially apparent on X and Facebook), makes the argument that they're not publishers quite hard to swallow.

Buckle up - because this now amounts to a direct and deliberate attack on our country and its cultural sovereignty. Which side our politicians take - Trump's or the BBC's - over the coming days and weeks will speak volumes about their patriotism.
Trump says he will sue BBC for at least $1bn over Panorama edit
The US president confirmed he intends to sue the broadcaster for at least $1bn over the Panorama edit of a 2021 speech.

If we made an emotional connection to the past, would that help people to link to the future?

Everything positive thing we do at scale matters in regard to #ClimateCrisis.
We have the tech, the resources to do so much more; what is missing is cognitive and emotional connection with the future and its reality.

Ten years after the Paris climate agreement, the limited progress we’ve made in reducing global warming means that there will be less extreme heat in the future than there would be without the accord

Today's chili harvest.
Seriously, I should not be able to harvest outdoor chilis in mid November (no greenhouse). Not even down here on the South Coast.

Drawing up plans for a heat pump (maybe two in same property!). Years ago, I wrote my own spreadsheets for heat loss evaluation, so able to compare ideas easily. But God knows how people who aren't engineers compare contractors.

Can't be justified financially. Interesting that some are still committed to this idea.

If the government removes permission, reviving the scheme would mean starting the process again.

This seems a bit of an excessive comparison (gravestones). What do my fellow Stonehenge nerds think?
Daubing Stonehenge has nothing to do with ‘free speech’ (it’s not even ‘speech’ - it’s vandalism). If daubing Stonehenge is OK so, presumably, is daubing racist slogans on walls or Jewish gravestones.

I tried out an AI summary of this post (on Brian John's site): it completely misunderstands what is being said. But then, I wrote it so as not to offend and AI has 'chosen' (if that's the right way to say it) to interpret the words in a child-like manner.
Contributed to Brian John's discussion about UCL's "Unification" paper today. Mostly to defend it.
(It is labelled as a Research Article but defines itself as an opinion piece within its text). Are there other views on how to interpret that article?
