You shake yourself awake in the cold North Atlantic water. You are not online. It is July of 1858. You are a baleen whale, and you have changed your mind. The future most not come to pass. The telegraph cable must break.

On the 13th day of Christmas you’ve got 184 birds exactly. But remember that the geese are a laying; with a gestation period of 28 days and an average of 5 eggs each, by February you’ve got nearly 400 birds. On the bright side you’ve got over a thousand pears to feed them.

Took a tour around the 'Enchanted City' light show on Northumbria University campus tonight. I have no idea what was going on because I am old now and it was too dark to read the blurb, but whatever was happening it was _very_ pretty.

Sam Altman: hey I made a machine that stole literally all your stuff in order to make CSAM of your child actors, sometimes it encourages people to kill themselves
Disney: Holy shit here's a billion dollars
Altman: the machine loses more than that each week but thank you. Soon it will become god.

In at 10 is Landlord Quest by indie game auteur Aldous Urper (bsky.app/profile/aldo...) A good RPG but too easy. Your income just accumulates even if you do nothing. Brazenly ignoring major plumbing issues has never been so rewarding.

The wild parakeets my neighbours insisted were nesting in the local parks turn out to be real! 'Indian ring necks', says a birding pal. They're tiny, but loud enough to have bullied the Magpies off that tree. Lovely stuff.

![R. H. Bing (October 20, 1914 – April 28, 1986)[1] was an American mathematician who worked mainly in the areas of geometric topology and continuum theory.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreid62wy3dekb2kzbisjfdlimlb35j4rlgew5iof7vi32byfszmg26a@jpeg)
![Bing's father was named Rupert Henry, but Bing's mother thought that "Rupert Henry" was too British for Texas. Thus she compromised by abbreviating it to R. H.[5] Consequently, R. H. does not stand for a first or middle name.
When Bing was applying for a visa, he was requested not to use initials. He explained that his name was really "R-only H-only Bing", and ended up receiving a visa made out to "Ronly Honly Bing".](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:cyyd366g3hrxp5rynixm2mm3/bafkreigmfj53q4uy33spga2bxdkllqm3ag5sffovg5g7ddmu3vqzkb6k24@jpeg)
