• A beautiful Sunday with [[AG]] and [[Lady Burup]] :)
• I spoke to my [[mum]] over [[Meet]] and it was great.
  • A friend of a friend of hers who was [[92]] died this week. She is visiting the friend today to console her and spend time with her; the friend is 92 as well and is having thoughts about death.
  • It would make sense that as you grow old you have more thoughts about death, as it's statistically speaking way more likely.
  • I hope she's [[free from suffering]]!
• Doing some work -- I enjoy working some weekends, it gives me ample time to [[focus]] while still taking it easy / enjoying the moment.
• We took a short (50 minutes roundtrip) but very nice walk as the sun was setting.
• Saw [[12 monkeys]] after many years; certainly for the first time [[after covid]].

• Read: [[The digital revolution has failed]]

  • "as the web declines, we need to consider what a better alternative could look like and the political project it would fit within"
  • Right on. That would be [[digital ecosocialism]] in my view.

• [[Generative AI has a ferocious environmental impact]].

• [[Generative AI is further concentrating power with Big Tech]].

• Watched: [[Miners’ Strike 1984: The Battle For Britain]]

  • Shocking, the violence that was meted out by the police on picketing miners. Seemingly premeditated.
  • Then perjury.
  • All seemingly coming directly from the wishes of Margaret Thatcher.
  • The media apparently complicit, a piece of state apparatus.

• Watched: [[Avengers: Civil War]]
