My current favourite thing is the album Chris by Christine & The Queens. Can’t get 5 Dollars out of my head.

@seagazelle that’s a strong look.

@asd Hi Stu, whereabouts in the world are you based?

All sources of news and media are full of the ongoing march to somrt sort of catastrophic brexit situation and it's irritating me this evening, so I've spent some time looking at the photos from my last European holiday (I don't take many) to Florence. What a beautiful city.

On Friday I roamed the campus restoring WiFi APs that had decided to stop working for reasons. Covered 7 miles.... To make up for that, today, I haven't left the sofa.

@limits2growth abandoning neoliberalism is certainly necessary.

This continues to be distressing. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-45775309

Of course I can only do what I can do. I carefully watch my energy use, we have no children, we no longer have pets. I primarily cycle commute & gently push my employer to avoid wasteful practices. None of this is enough of course. It requires politicians, government, to take control of the situation. Unfortunately the current UK government are a collection of idiots with such a free market obsession they clearly will never do anything.

So that whole Bloomberg story about the fiddled Supermicro boards... Didn't really make any sense to me.

Here's a good analysis of the possibilities: https://www.servethehome.com/bloomberg-reports-china-infiltrated-the-supermicro-supply-chain-we-investigate/

And the key point....

@muppetbutler some Brits know that because QI told us.

Listen very carefully and you can just hear the rarely recorded mating call of the Aruba AP125. Majestic.

Today, a trip to the Yorkshire Sculpture Park, a fantastic place to visit in the North of England, especially with weather as good as today's. A current special exhibition is A Tree In The Wood by Italian artist Giuseppe Penone. It's stunning work.

I work in a much derided building that’s long overdue demolition... it’s still nice to find the little architectural details. I love this little gap halfway up the stairs to let light through, something characteristically 60s about this.
