It greatly saddens me when people in positions of power and privilege abuse said power and privilege. Elon Musk, owner of Twitter, is one such person, and he has been steadily revealing to the world who he really is. Elon Musk, ladies and gentlemen, is, in this meerkat’s humble opinion, a deceiver. Take his above […]
We are moving into summer, but are we getting a summer?! Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Feeling Low Recall that, right at the end of the previous Muse, I’d mentioned I had begun to feel under the weather? Well, that feeling accelerated rather rapidly, and as per the Wednesday, I was feeling quite sorry […]
February is behind us, and thus begins March. However, before we discuss the start of March, we must indeed look back, and say farewell to February. # Inclement Incidents To describe the 22nd of February as wet would be a disservice to the word wet. It was horrendous. I got to work in the dry, […]
Welcome back to the Meerkat Muse! Let’s start out with something controversial… Brewing a Storm in a Teacup https://x.com/USAinUK/status/1750136728034169147?s=20 The gist of the Twitter link is the outrageous notion that the Colonies have suggested: microwaving tea! Now, I am not against reheating tea in the microwave, but I won’t brew a cuppa via the microwave! […]
Come and Muse with me! What’s been happening ‘kats? Extra Work If there is one thing I truly cannot stand, it’s when extra work is created for me, through the actions – or errors – of others. This happened a couple of weeks ago with price changes at work. After replacing and updating point of […]
A few times now, I have placed prompts and ideas into AI art generators. The results come from an app called Imagine, and via Bing. Personally, I think Bing is slightly better, but both apps/sites have served up some colourful and creative interpretations of the suggested prompts. Yes, I am going to show you what […]
A good question, and one I am struggling to find an answer for. It’s easy to address this from a hindsight point of view (50 years ago, people used landline phones and phone boxes on a regular basis, not anymore), but from the perspective of now, what is going to go out of fashion, to […]
This prompt is inspired by a trip into town the other day. My wife, daughter and I happened upon this: Automation is already a huge part of our lives. Sometimes, we don’t appreciate the extent to which machines do the work. For example, the job of painting cars often falls to machines. The job of […]
We live in a technological age. Nearly everyone in the developed world – and a lot of people outside of it – has access to a mobile device that grants them access to the sum of human knowledge and achievements. We are interconnected far more than we have ever been. Most processes now require the […]
Do you remember life before the internet? The answer is yes, I do remember a time BI – Before Internet. My early childhood was largely computer-free, until the early 90s, and the internet didn’t kick in for a few years after that. We had games consoles in the house, but these weren’t net-enabled, because the […]
Since getting home, the cat has been convinced he's owed about a million meals, and has incessantly reminded us of this.
The Daily Mail readership has dropped 32%, people are saying they will be bankrupt before 2030 because no-one wants to advertise in them.
I'm sure that if we RT we can bring their downfall sooner, and GB News too.
Well, it's been a hectic week in sunny Sicily, hot and lovely, albeit I feel like I've barely tanned!
Returning to Nesslabs for inspiration, we find ourselves pondering what it would mean to upload our mind to the cloud. The merging of meerkat and machine is an intriguing, frightening, exciting prospect. Uploading is an idea explored by by the TV show Upload (which I am yet to see), and it’s basically a means of […]
