"The ancient mystical medium of transatlantic folk music"

Did you ever hear such bollocks?

I mean, I like Bonny Light Horseman but that's just rubbish.

elliottucker,

@psneeze Viking music? Don’t think we know much about that.

elliottucker,

@psneeze @pellitory “I don’t think this music is vegetarian” 😂

There's the rain now.

elliottucker,

@psneeze oh yeah.

I got the most amazing light weight handmade dressing gown last month for my bday. It’s so cool and lovely. Wandering if I can wear it to Aldi.

@enobacon seems legit.

Putting on a fresh pair of underpants. It's ok. We're not built for this weather.

elliottucker,

@alisca I see your mistake right there.

Daughter: Half the people were sick with temps and sore throats at EP. They kept saying it just the sun and drink.

Me: 🧐

elliottucker,

@JMcE not Covid.

I feel so soap-boxy lately, maybe because I’m teaching a class, but here’s another kernel of truth I’ll throw at y’all about communities:

If you are trying to get new people,especially diverse people and young people into your hobby, and your first reaction is to show off your really expensive kit and say how much it cost, you are gatekeeping mega mode, even if you’re just trying to share your interest. Nobody wants to hear there is a $1500 (or $5000) barrier to entry to their new hobby. It’s demoralizing, not educational, and they’re just gonna leave.

Happens in bicycles, drones, photography, astronomy, gaming, marksmanship… you name it, there’s a rich older white dude ready to show off his six grand investment in a hobby to a college student with a three digit bank account.

elliottucker,

@hacks4pancakes as a man with many hobbies I see it a lot. “This is the minimum otherwise there’s no point.” That’s never true.

I’ve done a round of updates to the public AppleOS betas, since it’s getting close to release for most of them and I like to have a sense of what’s new ahead of others (who often ask me to help with upgrades or new features)… so far, fairly unexcited, although a few visual niceties. The standby mode thing on iOS is going to be nice.

elliottucker,

@andypiper i bought a stand especially for that. Love it.

Me in my Hut right right now. If I were one of three female POWs in 1942 Singapore.

(It's quite warm)

elliottucker,

@donncha my lawn needs doing. it will continue to need doing for another day at least.

Me watching my fellow generation-Xers become increasingly grumpy and intolerant of younger people.

elliottucker,

@Loukas I'm intolerant of younger people blindly making the world worse. I'm more intolerant of the ever decreasing count of actually Boomers who vote for things like Brexit when it has ZERO impact on them on their day to day life.

Had a conversation with the in-laws about ways to get through a birthday party without the teenage nephews hospitalising themselves or someone else.

Reckon leaving big bags of weed lying around is the way to go.

elliottucker,

@psneeze @davey_cakes what’s is this? Good Idea Monday?

nantes, to Nantes

First day back at school for himself and it's going to hit 36 today! #Nantes #BonneRentrée

elliottucker,

@nantes @psneeze solar powered automated blinds in the house….is something I’d like.

elliottucker,

@psneeze @nantes I makes such a difference! It’s like there’s some kind of science involved.

elliottucker, to random

Sharpening some Swedish things with a Swedish thing. 🇸🇪

Bath day!

elliottucker,

@psneeze September 1st comes but once a year.

It’s true what they say about ears. I’ve started to notice mine are getting bigger. I’m surprised they say “getting long in the tooth” I’m definitely getting long in he ear.

elliottucker,

@psneeze @janestegerlewis i’d genuinely like elegant pointy ears.

elliottucker,

@psneeze @janestegerlewis I’d like to wear a giant cloak too and for it to be normal so I’m not stared at.

elliottucker, to history

Listening to book about the Norman conquest. It’s comical how many people conveniently and out of the blue drop dead in mid 11th century France and England. Often just after an innocent cup of wine.

elliottucker,

@psneeze no doubt. Some of the other reasons for death are great. The description of Earl Godwin's death (Harald of the lost eye's dad) in the Chronicles clearly indicate a massive stroke. But it's because he lied to Edward the Confessor and was struck down by God (so...err, yeah, a stroke)

elliottucker,

@psneeze he keeps snitching to God. Wanker.

@lowqualityfacts as a kid when people said they were going though something “with a fine-tooth comb” I just thought it was a nice toothcomb.
