Dublin, on my way home. I just walked past a "Brazilian restaurant and sushi bar". I'm not sure I am ready for this level of confusion in my life.

People imagine picking up and finding *something better* is an easy solution. But how is that supposed to work, when all your time and energy goes to staying alive? You have almost nothing to set aside to actually fight your way out.

Amazing, the exact same thing happened to me with the exact same movie 😂

At least now I can be sure it's the movie's fault, thank you.

So, only constant doubt can help collapsing a fascist regime controlled by a despot. I mean, I still love and enjoy Dr. Who, but this year it has lost the last shred of subtlety it still had. #drwho

That's actually pretty typical Neapolitan street food.

That would depend on the toppings.

I placate my conscience with a sip of Benacol before every slice of cake.

Sports clothing shops are fat shamers.
What do you mean you don't have any size above L? Do you think I would even set foot in your store if I was as skinny as a single L? It's the double X that is making me come here, don't you ever forget that!

I'll bring my business to Primark, they don't judge.

@jamiesmart.bsky.social my 6yo, Alessandro, is a huge fan of yours (and Minions, apparently). This is a preview of his first book, Jone vs Poo. Any word of encouragement?

I'm very keen to boycott US products, but it does not escape me that I work for an American company, so that's that. Hence, I guess I'll just boycott Dominos and order pizza Apache instead?

Year 201x: we must take care to write code that is simple to read, well structured and easily changeable.

Year 202x: we must take care to write code just complex enough so AI cannot steal our jobs.

My new manager discussed with me this thing we need to work on for the rest of 2025, which they say is super important. I still have no idea what it is though.

Does this mean that my work is now mysterious and important?

In Ireland, even the smallest or nastiest chippy boasts to make "award winning" fish and chips. All of them, no exception. I often wonder what kind of award that is, and if they are missing the whole point of awards.
