True enough. Unfortunately, the bottom half of the internet now believes there’s a “6’2” trans woman” working at a branch of M&S, and you can bet it won’t take them long to figure out which branch and try to do their worst.

We all look forward to you joining us, and feel sure that you can look forward to an ongoing job challenge as well as a satisfying and rewarding career with Sun. If in the meantime, should you have any questions about the offer please feel free to contact us. Yours sincerely, for and on behalf of SUN MICROSYSTEMS IRELAND LIMITED Robert O'Dea Engineering Manager Claire Buckley Human Resources Manager I wish to accept your offer of employment and I agree to these Terms and Conditions of Contract of Employment with Sun Microsystems Ireland Limited. My intended start date with Sun is: 1/8/2000 - SIGNED: Calum Benson DATE: 25/6/2000

I ended up starting on the 8th, which was… 25 years ago today. #sunmicrosystems

White Lightning was the reason I learned Forth. Never managed to write a game with it, and never used Forth since.

You would hope M&S would have come out and said so straight away if that were the case, as it would have killed the whole stupid story stone dead.

“GPT-5 is the first time that it feels like talking to an expert in any topic — a Ph.D.-level expert,” OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said.

The plug switcher part isn’t a _terrible_ idea, but I’m sure I remember much smaller and cheaper versions of that being available at the time.

The engines are on the wings…

You really think Sonos won’t be applying the increase to customers outside of the US, too?

Hopefully M&S would have said so rather than “apologising”, if that were the case… would have made it a non-story straight away.

Don’t they call it McCaig’s Folly any more?

Don’t worry, the EU (and other countries) are coming along with their own versions soon.

“The limited-edition Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh wasn’t the most expensive Mac ever made – that was the $9,995 Lisa”… er, no. The clue’s rather in the name.

Well, that plus they’re films for children.

Whoever it is, there’s zero chance they’re making this watchable.

If you're going to send me something written by an LLM then save us all time and resources and just send me your prompt instead. I'll value a text that says "Heartfelt condolence message with reference to a list of events" more, because this way I at least actually know what you were thinking

"I can't brainstorm without ai" "I can't draw without ai" "I can't write without ai" "Ai summarized it for me cause it's too hard of a read"
So what exactly /can/ you do? Because you sound fucking useless to me

After a few seasons of dross, think I'm going to enjoy watching JBA's version of #MotherwellFC… roll on next weekend! #spfl

Cartoon with windmills generating energy along the Canadian border with the U.S.

I’ve heard worse ideas.

Thanks, sounds absolutely dreadful.

Sadly not really, these days… last few were Antoni (gale force, 5th August 2023), Betty (gale force, 18th August, 2023), Evert (strong breeze, 30 July 2021), and Ellen (violent storm, 19 August 2020).

I'm not sure there was ever much doubt.

The Cat & Fiddle used to be my local!

there is a very specific style to documentaries on the BBC these days where there are lots of striking pictures and soaring music and what feels like an utter terror of actually conveying too many facts, and am I just being curmudgeonly or does anyone else find themselves frequently disappointed

Is it "don't upload your photos to apps like Facebook and Instagram"?

I’m not loving it, but we’d sussed it after about two clues last night. (First night we were more confused—we worked out where the portacabin in the square was easily enough, but that wasn’t their final destination, so I’m still not sure why they gave us all the clues to that location at all.)

Tiger Tim!

Have never forgotten that tune. But who trims carrots before they’ve washed them?

I dunno, my wife got it right and she wouldn’t know Terry Pratchett from Terry Scott.

Saying this with as much love as possible, but please stop using AI generated graphics for activism. Plenty of artists willingly donate their time and work designing for activists, and always have. It's not necessary to step on an increasingly struggling group in order to promote worthy causes.

(And another 17 years after that until Gnasher showed up...)
