Mostly bleak grey bare branches of a shrub with wet paths and mud BUT the spindly branches festooned with blush pink blossom. Spring, innit!

If any tech people do happen to have the ears of billionaires, I am here with my wallet open saying I would pay EXTRA for devices and software that don't have AI in them. Please take my money.

Kind of pub where you sit down and think, yeah, I like it here

Saturday night pub!

They’re not proper policies.
They’re just prejudices pretending to be policies.
They don’t think anything through because they’re not about responsibility. Just rage.
