chronically ill people are not faking our symptoms. that's not a thing. you're confusing us with soccer players

Re. Widdecombe:

'Extremely distressing' - how politicians have reacted

But enough about her as a person. What about her death?

TIL that in 2025, Donald Trump executed 28,000 stock trades.

Joe Biden, during his entire 4 year presidency, executed...

...13.

T plus 60 hours. I think I'll be able to go outside soon. Finally.

Annoying coincidence of the last few days: I've been stuck inside. Also, it's been quite warm. And, my flat tends to trap the heat: all my windows face the direction of the sun when the day is hottest. So I have been dehydrating, and uncomfortably warm.

The other day, I ordered a home cooler unit — no idea how effective it'll be, but I'm looking forward to finding out. It got delivered to my local parcel shop on the same day I got ill, so I haven't been able to go and collect it yet.

The parcel shop is literally in the same building as me, five floors below my flat. Out of reach.

New Swiss magazine with "Ohne KI" (No #AI) on the cover.
Nice to see some publishers openly resisting.

[Farage] says he is "deeply, deeply upset by the nature of [Widdecombe's] death," adding that she would "not have harmed a fly".

Who's got time for hurting flies, when there are so many people standing in line to be hurt first?

I took a drawing class in high school and tried to copy a picture of the Rolling Stones but it turned out so badly I colored everyone green and said it was space aliens.

Fucking "app culture" drives me crazy. I got asked to install a mobile app just to look at the itinerary and accommodation information for a trip I'm going on.

Why isn't it just a web page?

So obviously I said "fuck that noise, hold my beer", reverse-engineered the app, and re-implemented it as a web page generator. It does all the same things as the "app" except now there's no tracking, no ads, and you get all the Web's features "for free" (deep links, copy-pasting, search-in-page, printing, works on anything, etc.).

Here's the full story:

btw I still haven’t managed to go outside. That ice cream is still waiting for me, somewhere in the future.

The fightback continues. T plus 40 hours. My body has remembered that the point of food is to hold onto it and digest it, not to expel it at the first opportunity. Headache (mostly caused by dehydration) is dissipating. Thoughts about things other than pain and stuff are possible. Yay.

#introduction

Hi my name is Lydia Diane and I’m going to post dumb jokes, talk about leftist politics, and put pictures of whatever my current hobby is, or whichever pc game I’m playing.

I’m a late 30s trans woman who has been on HRT since March 2025.

I am almost half a year into learning to play guitar, and i am redoubling my efforts to get conversational in French. I’d love more francophone friends.

I will:
-Say dumb shit
-Hate the cops

I will not:
-Use AI
-Suffer AI on my TL

Nurse Harald is on the case.

I’m gonna spare you the details but suffice to say that the last 16-17 hours of my life were dominated by 💩, 🤮, and discarding of any dignity. Hey, at least I live by myself.

Hugs gratefully received. Gently, please. In an hour or so I’m hoping to feel up to going out to the shop for an ice cream.

The four-year-old figured out that he can dictate into Messages on the iPad and that grownups can mostly read the results. But a). He’s four, and silly, b). he has a couple of the common preschool speech impediments, and c). he can’t actually read what he dictated. The results are dadaist puzzles.

Tempting …

I will accept an amendment to my previous ruling on bells that play tunes: they probably sound fine if you're deaf, or musically indifferent.
