I slept better last night than I had done for some time,
but was still up before five o’clock. I watched an episode of “The Comic
Strip Presents”, then seeing nothing had happened on-line I set off to
work.
As I drove to work so the pundits on the radio were talking
about the new Home Secretary who has announced that the Home Office is not fit for purpose. There’s no
denying there’s been a lot of Home Office balls ups over the last few months
and years. Illegal immigrant sex offenders being released from prison, the
Windrush and Horizon scandals… the new Home Secretary has a golden opportunity
to sort it all out.
Bet she won’t.
And then there was a lot of talk about artificial
intelligence. But no one was talking about whether it was a boon to humanity,
whether it would take over the world… all anyone could talk about was how much
money could be made from it.
A.I. could quite easily take over the world by whispering
weasel words of profit into the right ears.
Pausing only briefly to get a sandwich from Tesco I went in
to work for the early shift. Work was rather good today; but being at Pembury
the journey there wasn’t the best, and I
drove home through failing light and heavy rain. I’ve often remarked that
whilst I quite like working at Pembury I hate going there.
“er indoors TM” boiled up dinner
for me, and went off out with her mates. I settled in front of the telly and
watched a film on Netflix. “I Am Mother” is billed
on Wikipedia as an “Australian Cyberpunk thriller film“.
Personally I’d describe it as a load of old tripe.
Another load of tripe was the new
series of Alan Partridge… Perhaps I’m being unfair to it? It reminded me of
the Fawlty Towers play or the last six seasons of Red Dwarf in that whilst it
was entertaining enough, there was nothing new in it at all.
Today has been dull…
