Mail is running a poll on whether the UK should rejoin the EU. Takes seconds to vote and it's going hilariously well... www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

Software Projects, particularly personal (single dev) projects are like trees. The trunk is the initial idea, and that's solid. You can make a lot of progress fast on that. At some point ideas start branching out from the trunk. You'll pursue some or all of them. Still reapid progress.

I'm glad Finian McGrath has publicly made the important point: maybe the lads with the 300k machines should have been parking up at the US Embassy rather and directing their ire towards the people causing the crisis rather than blocking people from going to work and draining petrol stations.

I’m not sure this guy is as liberal as the euphoria would suggest. He’s pretty illiberal. What he is is that feeling of relief when the bad cop stops punching you, and you don’t yet know if the good cop is actually good.

😜😀😂😂 Stephen King Someone on threads yesterday said that Stephen Miller is what happens when you bury a dildo in the Pet Sematary.

My brain is fried, and for some reason my googling skills have deserted me because I'm not finding an answer. I'm looking for a name for the pattern (in software) where you have an ordered list of commands with guard predicates. The first command who's guard is true fires, the other commands don't

What is Linkedin? I don't get it. I've never properly used it, I don't upload my history. I mostly just connect with people I've worked with on the off chance I might want to reconnect on something. I just tried to connect with someone I used to work with and It's asking me to subscribe.

Someone send this guy to Washington

When I was in school we read some short stories that were 50 words long. Some were by well known authors. I know there’s a website for 50 word stories. But my schooldays were before the web. Does anyone know of a book that might have had stories by well known authors. Probably written in the 80’s

It’s a great moment to remember that in the leadup to this popular uprising, the first major gut-punch was delivered by Budapest Pride. Poetic justice. 🇭🇺🏳️‍🌈

Just as in 2019 some of those who stirred up and led the protest with promises they couldn't keep, have now walked away. Some are continuing to encourage the protest but there's signs the protest has become completely splintered. Real farm orgs don't get to walk away from their protests #speirgorm

A few years ago I saw an article "The Last Mechanic Has Been Born" You can see the reasoning as we move to EVs, but I think there are still people yet to be born who'll fix old engines for money. I'm not as sure that's true of coding.

The Peace talks designed to convince Iran to open the Strait that Trump was DESPERATE to open? He’s literally an 8yo vowing never to eat chocolate after his mom told him he can’t have chocolate.

Spotify have sent details of their 15% price increase. And told me they'll spend it adding more features to Premium. So I had a look at what premium actually gives. 12 "Benefits" 2 that I care about. 4 that I could take or leave. 6 that I actively despise. No thanks Spotify. We're done. Bye.

This may not be the most popular take with the protestors, but taxes are a GOOD THING. Everyone contributing to look after each other, keeping communities healthy, safe and clean. Looking after those who need extra help, supporting research, arts, culture, environment — how else do you do all that?

Every student learning history should be told that “Never Again” and “Civilised” are the two biggest lies in human history.

Well that’s Orban fucked.

I'm just going back over my blog, thinking about writing something again, and reading old posts, and there's one, that brings back fond memories, but I'm ashamed to say I didn't name check someone important to the story when I wrote it. www.devjoy.com/blog/avoid-b...

I detest this softly, softly approach to appease these thugs: if it were climate change protestors, there would be no hesitation by the Government and Gardai to suppress this by force. All this will do is embolden the far right even more.

None of those presidents ever told Israel stop asking for this bullshit or they’d lose US support.

There’s a reason the 1% are called the 1%. What 75% of Americans think doesn’t really matter all that much.

People when all the petrol stations change the same: "Thieving bastards running a cartel" People when all the petrol stations don't charge the same: "Thieving bastard is more expensive than the place down the road"

In 1980 my mother was 29yo, with 3 kids, less than 1yo. Her father died in April after an Illness. Her mother was hit by a load falling from a moving truck, and killed in August. My mother then also became carer for her sister Eileen. Her brother died aged 29 in '82 I have a very, very easy life.

People who underestimate how suited computers are to writing code, also overestimate how suited humans are to writing code. If I was a small, island economy on the Western Edge of Europe, with an economy largely build on tech and service companies locating here for tax reasons. I'd worry.

Kildare Cllr Tom McDonnell addresses the fuel protest crowd in Dublin with calls to forget about Palestine/Israel. Empty the IPAS centres and rage bait the more than willing crowd over attacks on Irish people by African males. But it's all about the fuel crisis right?!

The United States of America is the ONLY Nation on earth who's citizens are permitted to have guns SPECIFICALLY in order to rise up against an Authoritarian government and yet they choose to do FUCK All 🤔 This is the feeling we have in Europe.

OMG!!! The guys who hate “Just Stop Oil”….just stopped oil.

Just occurred to me to mention this. This is what that hole in the handle of your saucepans is for.

The "farmers" protesting fuel prices are not representing farmers. They are the Facebook misinformation consuming and spewing brigade. Follow and read Thomas to get some facts.

Right folks as one of the few farmers on here let me explain something really simple. We're currently in the busiest time of year, calving & lambing is ongoing and crops need tending The awful weather means contractors are also flat out So how representative do you think this lad is? #speirgorm

This is hilarious. Iran is about to get everything it wants. Israel must be scratching their heads, looking at Trump and thinking "This fuckin' guy"

If you really want to hurt Trump, like really cut him deep. Just tell him Iran is better at social media than he is.

The more averse a country is to paying welfare, the greater the attraction is of securing a "government contract" for your business. The more the poor are villainised, the more villainous are the businesses who live off the state.

Just accidentally coined the phrase “Observices” Make of it what you will.

I built a thing, then I asked Claude to build a demo. I can't remember the exact phrase I used, but It should have been clear I meant a demo OF THE THING I WAS BUILDING. Instead it hand rolled a demo that did everything I wanted, while ignoring my code. So, now we're having a come to Jesus talk.

Born In The USA was the first LP I ever bought. This, was the first CD. I had won a load of coins playing cards at Christmas. I brought a bag of them into Sinnott’s in Waterford and bought this for £9.95 Much to their annoyance.

Build a monument. Build a wall. Give him his wall. Put every single complicit fuckers name on it. Every Bondi and Bovino, Susie Wiles and Stephen Mitler. Not just officials. Put the Jan 6 names up. Put the celebs on it. Every Minaj and McGregor. And the money..Musk, Bezos, Ellison, Cuckerberg.

But he is probably 100% accurate…..

This is the truest truth of all the truths (and there aren't many).

You know what. NO. This ends here. Fuck It. I had a funny snarky comment about a piece in a prominent Irish Paper written by someone most of us would like to forget exists. And you can't forget people exist if you keep engaging with their shit. So post deleted, and back to my evening.

Dear Guitar Brand "Vintage". Your Brand Name is really dumb. It's nigh on impossible to search for your guitars without wading through endless pages of actual "Vintage Guitars"

I agree it wasn't a mistake. I'm greatful to have been around and seen what it was before it was enshitified. I have said many times that if I couild flip a switch and make it dissapear, I would. Humanity would be allowed to get it back when it learns how to behave.

Hey! Stupid Americans made you President, and don’t you forget it.

Britain finally buckles under economic sanctions imposed by *checks notes* Britain.

I feel seen. This has been me for the last month. pathwrite.io/products.html

"Oh shit, it hurts to cry" And yet it seems to be infectious. I might just need to get a tissue.
