  • Surviving on Strepsils, LemSip, and water currently. Nose is running like a tap, coughing and spluttering every couple of minutes. Good times! 🤒

  • Pretty much frustrated with everything at the moment. 🤷‍♂️

  • 🎥 Watched: Coded Bias

    Super interesting doco on the bias that exists in AI. Very good watch.

    When MIT Media Lab researcher Joy Buolamwini discovers that facial recognition does not see dark-skinned faces accurately, she embarks on a journey to push for the first-ever U.S. legislation against bias in algorithms that impact us all.

  • Went fishing today, caught a pike on a Samaki vibe, got it alongside the boat and as I was netting it, it chewed through the braid. No fish, no lure, just me holding a rod in one hand and a net in the other, wondering what just happened…

    My therapist. 🤯

  • “If I had your gun in my hand, I’d be dead tonight, I have glorious plans”

  • The more I seem to put out there, the more I give the world and people in my sphere, the more they take. Makes sense…

    But equally, the more I give, the less I’m offered and therefore the less I receieve.

    It’s a shit equation.
