I went to Bletchley Park today and I was surprised at how moved I was. It was wonderful to see and walk around where Alan Turing would have walked and worked on his physical AI machine #CreativeGenius

Not gonna lie, I was worried this election would be meddled with. I’m so excited for NYC because this isn’t about one man being in charge it’s about one man leading the charge with the city acting as the army behind him #Mandani

Made Viennese fancies for the first time. I’m patting myself on the back. They were really good

My local cinema is playing this tomorrow. My partner has booked to go with me and bless her she’s done this for me, but she doesn’t love it like I do. It has dated, I hold my hands up but it’s a film about inspirational academics who actually *do* something.

There is a certain age where kids drawings are pure *chef’s kiss* This picture of me and my partner outside our flat (she’s on the left) is by Daisy age 5 and I love it.

He’s heard there’s an opening for the Duke of York position and he’s up for it.

Had a nice walk this afternoon. Found a swing. It felt rude not to have a go on it.

The tiger at the zoo pulled a funny face at us today. They were nuzzling the grass and looking liked it smelt disgusting.

When I baked my first cake I took a recipe made for a 20cm cake which serves 6-8 people to a 10cm cake. But it looked wrong because it was too tall and thin. But I know what to do next time.

I baked a cake yesterday. This is because I’m cosplaying a trad wife.

Been listening to The Telepathy Tapes podcast. What is completely convincing is how convinced everyone involved is. And so as there is nothing balanced about it, it makes it difficult to understand different perspectives, because we’re not offered them.

I’m looking after a friend’s 5 year old today, so we came to Eureka and I’m just freaking out at this fact that kangaroos can jump 10 feet high, not far, high. I was thinking 5ft when startled and 3ft on average. Those beasts are strong.

Is this rapture happening, or should I go to bed? Because if Jesus does come back I wanna know how he does it. I’m thinking it might be similar to the ‘Stars in their eyes’ transformation.

Love that Trump is in Windsor Castle and this is being projected onto it. Fantastic work, I’m guessing by Led By Donkeys.

Sad to hear about Robert Redford, but also glad we had him around as long as we did. I think his roles of the strong silent types are my favourite: Sundance, Jeremiah Johnson and Roy Hobbs.

Been laughing at these terrible AI videos that Quinta Brunson told Amy Poehler about on her podcast. Their conversation is the perfect setup before you watch the vids

Statistically they’re just less likely to be (now what’s politically correct word we use for pervert or bigot?) “problematic” and “problematic” people are ok in politics, because that’s a legitimate political stance now, but not in a cookery program, that’s “unacceptable”.

Great, so another suggestion to erode to rights of another demographic according to the UN’s 1989 Convention of the Rights of the Child.

Yup. Don’t want to upset the 14% who swung the vote for Labour. It would seem the majority don’t matter anymore, they’ll always vote red or blue, but that 14% are the “precious voters”. The same tactic was used for Brexit, get the “don’t knows” onboard and you’ve got a swing.

You’re not wrong. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights is very clear about quality of life, including healthcare.

Is it just me, or does it feel odd that a demographic that couldn’t coordinate itself out of a paper bag has managed to coordinate a load of flags going up and around the UK? And furthermore doesn’t it feel suspiciously subtle that it can argue patriotism but feel like Nationalism?
