Fodder

The internet was so much fun in its early days, sort of a wild west of the mind; social media too in due course. But anything that humans value becomes a resource, like oil in the ground or fish in the sea, to be dug up and sold; and ideally controlled, synthesised, reshaped to this end.

There have been LOTS of reads of this blog recently but zero interaction. I guess most of my readers are not human. Don't really want my efforts hoovered up for AI purposes so most of it will disappear from sight. Posts have become rare anyway but from now on they'll be restricted to my own wee feelings: nothing factual, nothing that's taken time to find out, no more Michael Scot; just grumbles or eulogies. Feel free to say hello on BlueSky (@alecmackinnon.bsky.social) or at my Glasgow University email address (easily discoverable) if you're a human who cares.

Time to go cycling.
