Comedy end to humanity: Everybody involved in the UK’s nuclear deterrence program assumes somebody else told the sub captains about Radio 4 long wave being turned off.
A while ago I put a throwaway thought in the EMF Arcade team’s channel. As all things EMF do its escalated somewhat and there’s now a schedule of evening entertainment, including this, a nightclub soundtracked by people playing music focused games: https://www.emfcamp.org/schedule/2026/294-synaesthesia
Something for the #EMFCamp first-timers: it's impossible to see everything *and that's OK*

Ahhh, the relaxing sound of angle grinders on a Saturday morning as the buy-to-let landlords either side of me strip out newly purchased properties.
It may be time to throw down the “turn off autocorrect or stop fucking moaning about it in every message you send” gauntlet to my Dad again. We’re three for three this evening.
This is just to say
I have valued
the goose
that was in
your portfolio
And which you
were probably
saving for
the eggs
Forgive me
it was annualized
depreciated
and written off.
Why do hosts on produced podcasts speak. So. Slowly? (I’m aware you can speed it up, it’s not me listening to this podcast, just hearing it in the background)
Free TV show idea if anyone fancies pitching it to Netflix: All The Gear, a cookery competition show in which amateur chefs have a selection of kitchen gadgets, some ingredients, and one hour to make a two course meal. They do not have any pans.
Excuse the banal post but I’m really bored of this heat now. My flat hasn’t got below 28c since Wednesday morning and I’m already dripping with sweat. For the next time round I’ll be augmenting the newly purchased aircon unit with some big fans to dump as much hot air out of the windows as possible overnight.
I have a spare live-in vehicle ticket for the @emf
Is anyone interested?

@robinhouston @emf @stecks those are some really big sticks of plasticine.
For fucks sake. Spent all day with the curtains and blinds shut, sitting in the gloom, wondering why the aircon was so ineffectual, only to find whilst I was in the kitchen just now I’d opened the windows in their last night and then forgotten because they were behind the blinds.
OH: “I think you can correlate my cortisol levels and the number of GitHub Actions minutes spent”
There’s a breeze! It feels like a cool breeze but it’s entirely possible that’s just wishful thinking given it’s still 27c outside.
Ok. I choose not setting fire to the planet. Do the questions in this test get harder at any point?

Since I'm going to be breaking out the air mattress so I can kip downstairs where it is cooler this week, I began to wonder what other things I should do for the full EMF-at-home experience.
- put my router in a Playmobil datenklo
- ask next door to play Amsterdam trance from 7am
- park my car five streets away
- ask the other next door to converse in German
- all the pride flags. All of them. More.
The easiest way of testing if your self-hosted mail server can scale to cope with thousands of messages is to order £5 of stuff from AliExpress.
I’ve not really done anything today but scroll through social media because it’s too hot to be active, and I’m in a funk on things I could inactively do. This has been a terrible choice and yet here I am.
I’d love to see someone attempt to use behaviour like this to bust through Meta and co’s argument that they’re neutral platforms and so shouldn’t be held responsible for material published on those platforms as they don’t make editorial choices.

Last night we had to go in the back door to the central library in Dundee instead of through the shopping centre. Standing outside, I happened to look at the bike rack, and wtf, why oh why are there feet?
Spent this evening writing a hacky little server to consume telemetry that has been added to my favourite game of the last 12 months specifically for EMF and feeding it into my flat’s lights. God I love the mad things this event allows to me get up to!
