All of this. If you're not feeling well, don't go. It's not brave working through a cold or the flu, it's deeply selfish and irresponsible.

Good morning! AI is being force-fed to you by a handful of billionaires who will lose a bunch of money if they fail to convince you that you need it. You do not need it 🫶

And we're done. The full out loud read through and last editing pass on McLean book fifteen is finished. The Violent Hour will be out on July 2nd next year. Hope you can all wait that long.

Thanks, Starling Bank, but I really don't want 'AI' anywhere near my account. And calling it 'Scam Intelligence' is a bit on the nose, no?

Hello friends. In the early days of Bsky, it was trans and other LGBTQ+ folk, along with s*xworkers, n s f w art folk, and Alf aficionados that built the platform—early refugees from X. Now

The fact that the global trans panic is helmed by conservatives who believe in the subjugation of women being a natural consequence of biology should have maybe been a clue

You can use the land under the panels even while they're up. Agrivoltaics is a fast-growing part of the farming industry.

The fifth(?) version of Star Trek 4 finally being killed and the Kelvinverse crew being benched is one of those depressingly stark moments where you realise that the entire franchise is, in some ways, a Kobyashi Maru scenario.

Thought I'd use the coconut sugar that's been hiding at the back of the cupboard in the latest batch of gf digestive biscuits. Worked well, but now I remember why the coconut sugar has been hiding in the back of the cupboard for so long.

Against all expectations, the engineer turned up in the allotted time. Predictably, he was able to diagnose the meter as ‘fucked’, but not able to do anything about it. How long until they send someone out for that?
