finding it hard to put into words just quite upsetting I find the idea of Google getting rid of the "ten blue links" format of search entirely, genuinely feels like your landlord announcing he's removing your kitchen and replacing it with a bouncy castle, I need my kitchen, let me keep my kitchen

Listening to Gary O'Donoghue's excellent Desert Island Discs earlier & he said that he still basically believed that, as a blind person, that if he were fired that he wouldn't find another job. If that fear underpins such an excellent journalist - what does that say about disabled people in society
