No one before Sam successfully raised a child, which is why the human species went extinct in Mesopotamia. Seriously, the best way to read this is that countless billions of humans did just fine but Sam is not as competent and self-reliant as them, and that's what AI wants us to be: dependent.

Time to think about getting tea on the go. Then, a night out to see @johnspiers.co.uk and @jackieoates.bsky.social at The Fleece tonight. Start of the gradual un-grinching process.

Tomorrow is our Winter Tour. As tradition dictates only two of the side know where we are going. You never know, you may see us out and about. Time to go and make offerings to the weather gods!

Blocked out a day to work on corrections on a couple of papers. Slow, but steady progress. I'm hoping it is one of those days when something clicks. Coffee and 6Music to try and ease the way.

Early start as always. Stir Up Sunday: Christmas pud has been steaming away since the small hours. It becomes ever more special as it is the only piece of cake/pudding I now have each year.
A lecture to finish writing for tomorrow, and a dying boiler to nurse along will frame the rest of the day.
