Skin on stage

Skin on stage

Skunk Anansie absolutely killed it last night at the Roundhouse.

Highlights included crowd surfing on a giant pig, and calling all the women to the front for a mosh pit.

Epic stuff ๐Ÿ”ฅ๐Ÿ•บ

This is my most boomer opinion, but I think itโ€™s true โ€ฆ

The reason why everyoneโ€™s mental health is terrible is because youth/ popular culture, which used to be essentially about going out with your mates and listening to music, is now about staying home and arguing about politics online.

This is a very informative read, but I have to praise these map drawings. Such a fun and unexpected addition.

I wish more technical books included such a slice of playfulness. Great work all round @martin.kleppmann.com ๐Ÿ‘

Every time I think I've found the bottom the sketchiness of London Landlords, I reach a new low - this time sending fake asbestos contractors. This is fraud and dicing with people health ๐Ÿ˜ก #london #renting

Did you know chatGPT can get your Myers-Briggs? Itโ€™s guessing ENTP/ENFP for me, which seems about right.

It's so satisfying when you finally build a UI feature to edit, and no longer have to go straight to the db.

At least this is user satisfaction for me
