It’s also quite likely it’s going to be my last big trip for a few months, for various reasons, most of them good.

I walked past both rainbow benches in this village today and they are both not painted over by anti-LHBTI-activists, which seems to be rare over here… 😐

I wonder where the phrase “gravy train” came from. Was there really the need for efficient long-distance transport of large amounts of gravy by rail? 🤔

There is one more post to be written here, about how AI is now often an austerity technology, inserted into a human process to compensate for the fact that there is just not enough time and money, and many workers are expected to do more and more with less and less.

I was at a conference on Weds about use of AI in public services and noticed how AI as sticky tape over broken systems is becoming the norm, designing or implementing better systems is becoming more and more of a luxury.
