A quick tip for those preparing celebration playlists for when THAT DAY comes:

"Donald Trump is Dead" has the same number of syllables as "Down at Fraggle Rock".

Or possibly the Caribbean

I just want to say that those big robot arms on the sides of rubbish trucks that pick up wheelie bins and empty them are really cool,

Bike tire could do with a little air.

...and were using large rocks to break their arms. The whole thing was filmed. I felt physically sick watching it, and could hardly sleep that night. I still feel sick thinking about it.

That must have happened 35 years ago, and that level of brutality from Israel has been constant ever since.

I was thinking earlier today about the first time I remember noticing the conflict between Palestine and Israel. I was in my late teens, and I saw a report on probably Channel 4 News, and it was about some boys who had thrown rocks at some Israeli soldiers. The soldiers had caught the boys...

That sounds a fair bit more exciting than the raising of the Mary Rose, which we had to sit and watch on the school TV for what seemed like several interminable hours when I was around the same age.

I guess the bit when part of the frame broke was almost exciting.

The cursed Shipping News

Does it use the mechanism from an electronic typewriter?

Unity Careers Unity Careers

Worth keeping an eye on the open Unity positions: unity.com/careers/posi...

Not a lot of hiring going on at the moment, but most of the North American hiring seems to be happening in Montreal.

Not since 2003 I'm afraid.

I like to think I'm already a fox.

The first half of that blurb may be true, though more to do with the lack of understanding executives have for the business they're in (see @jasonschreier.bsky.social books), but the second half is so dumb it makes me wonder if an AI from the 1980s wrote this.

The great thing about Linux is that it takes the great user experience that printers are renowned for, and makes it even worse.

Imagine writing a book and then having the cover of it just be an incredible illustration of yourself.

I am envious and in awe at the same time.

It's weird doing the annual Code of Conduct training for work and there's a whole bit about not bribing officials at a time when the President is openly taking massive bribes.

I had to do similar training at Google, and yet Google still bunged Trump $1million for his inauguration.

Also a couple of lines of 'Here comes the Superman' in the middle I think

One of the impressive things about this tune is that you can listen to it and know exactly what the lyrics are, even though they are never sung.

I remember my Mum forgot my name once. She was trying to get me to do something and she went through all the names in the family, INCLUDING THE CAT, before just addressing me as "BOY!"

"RichiDavidKatieJackSnowdrop... BOY! Come and help Dad unload the shopping..."

Do you still have that book?

DO YOU STILL HAVE THAT BOOK!?

Is there anything more annoying than trying to crimp JST connectors? Holy shit

This looks so lovely - congratulations!

That's absolutely not true. Testosterone in cis women normally occurs at about 1/15th the level of cis men, but it plays several important functions. If a woman ceases to produce it, it's important for her health to take testosterone supplements.

Oh fuck, that reminds me I have about 7 mandatory trainings I need to get done in the next few weeks.

At least I managed to get the timers turned off on them.

Yikes.

For me it was the raising of the Mary Rose, and it was incredibly boring.

I'll take it over the Challenger disaster, though.

This is very interesting. I'm quite posting it so that I can easily find it again.

Yeah, I would really like that. It would make my feed easier to cope with in these terrible times.

For me, the walk was roughly 7 miles. It probably took me about two hours. I think most of the tubes were open the next day, but I do remember making my first journey back on it with a certain amount of trepidation, despite knowing that even if there was another attack, the odds were in my favour.
