I was waiting for my robot friend when a sleek stranger came up to me.
"Hi!" they said.
"Um... hi?"
"Oh, sorry."
My phone pinged with a text from my friend: "Body's in for service, this is a loaner."
"Oh!" I said. "Er... Is it nice?"
"Can't wait to go back. This is..."
"Not you?"
"Not me."
Your friend is cheap.
Get the loaner with morphic nanites and soul transference...
...I bet your "friend" still owes you that twenty you loaned them years ago.
I'm not saying being a dragon would fix my life
but having a big wiggly tail and holdable snoot and to rawr would be a very big net positive
The sword master nodded.
"I see. Well, I'm not one to back down from a challenge. And what type of sword are you most interested in learning to use?"
"One of those long ones with the elaborate guard."
"A rapier? In human size, or your size?"
"Does it matter?" said the dragon.
"A bit, yes."
Had a good time at #Opensauce2026. Got to see parts of a couple panels, and failed to make it to 4 others. Ah well, that's con life.
On the positives, Parcha my purple bat suit was very well received. So many hugs and pictures. Photo credit to Scout!
What I have suspected for decades - #asbestos and the #London Underground.
And this one whistleblower case shows exactly how they’ve been shutting down any investigation into it for decades:

The AI bros:
* He did not use a good model.
* He did not use the correct plugins.
* He must not look at the code.
* He did not prompt it correctly (or several variants: did not ask XXX, did not create/update agents.md, did not ask it to "make no mistakes" 😅...)
Yet here we are, another project with apparently months of work (and I assume a few hundred dollars at least on tokens/subscriptions) that goes down the drain.

“Claude, help. All my friends say you’re terrible at coding, but you’ve done so much coding with me I know they can’t be right. Write me a program to persuade my critics that they can’t be right.”
“Great topic! Here’s a program written in a classic programming language that will run on even the oldest systems and convince everybody.”

Oh. Wow. Yes, I like this story. Very much up my alley, this is.

"What is your favourite part of your job?" the reporter asked.
"That's a tough one," said the book. "For me, I would say being re-read."
"Because it shows you were loved?"
"No, you can feel that at a first read. It's that I can show more than the first time round."
"It's more intimate?"
"Yes."
Another photo from the #ESOTavern event this one went to last weekend.
This one has big hammer, and is not afraid to use it!

This risk is genuine - another generation of homes, schools and hospitals built to overheat in an already overheated country.
But I felt this article lost its way…
We need to know what works:
- careful orientation
- natural shade (trees)
- shutters
- minimize glazing on south/south west sides
- good insulation
Ensuring these aspects are covered at planning is important.

Admitting you’re using AI in research to check planning is honest, the scale of the task is huge and the need is urgent…but if it produces a result no one ultimately trusts or will act on, it’s meaningless.
The Future Homes Standard is for domestic properties. It’s not unreasonable it only covers that. There are different considerations for commercial, school and hospitals - and should be regulated accordingly.

This took way too long to resolve but I'm glad the courts made the sensible, pro-consumer (and pro-farmer) decision.

"Oh! Excuse me," I say as I feel the familiar tug, "I'm being summoned."
I materialise in a pentagram in Hell. I glare at the demon.
"I wish I'd never taught you how to reverse the ritual. I was at a party!"
"We're out of salt liquorice."
"Fine, I'll buy some tomorrow. Now send me back!"
