TIL that Bluesky DMs are a victim of age gating in the UK.

My recollection is Libertarians too often warning about “both sides”

Going to check out Prince’s later, any other recommendations?

Excellent, I’m happy to watch it on recommendation! I was surprised i hadn’t seen it but I was definitely abroad that year

As I have now reached middle age (and pay for the BBC license) I’m considering reentering the world of television ownership.

but that's also true of people in the US and anywhere else. People who know who Elon Musk are are people who read political and/or tech news. His role in politics (not just in the US, but also the UK) has him in regular media and tabloid headlines these days.

well then they're the lucky ones

look, you’re 26. I’m not sure that’s true.

I’ll take diversity training over ergonomics training any day of the week. Don’t tell me how to sit!

not true. he was known in tech circles as early as 1999
