Anyone brave or foolish enough to watch the State of the Union tonight will be in for a high old time, an hour plus of grievance, lies and boasting. Last year Trump was riding high after his election win. This year everything is going wrong - tariffs, Epstein, federal murdered Americans. Peak whine.

Weird how this never ends with "Labour must stand down in favour of the Green Party". Almost like "you have to vote tactically to keep Farage out" was an electoral strategy, not something ever sincerely believed.

so I just sent someone a whatsapp DM saying keep safe from ICE while you're in America and she wrote back saying please delete because they'll check her socials and she doesn't want them seeing any expression of concern about that. so that's how free speech is going if you were wondering.

Lord Mandelson arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office The ex-US ambassador had been under investigation over allegations he shared market-sensitive government information with Jeffrey Epstein while a government minister.

Mandelson follows the former prince Andrew into the Epstein-linked arrest book.

It seems increasingly likely that Jeffrey Epstein did not commit suicide In recent days, more explosive Epstein revelations have emerged, including investment offers regarding key US intelligence buildings, dodgy deals in Africa involving powerful figures, such as the form...

The evidence suggests the possibility of murder was taken seriously, one year after Epsteinโ€™s death. When you tie this in with anomalies such as broken cameras and sleeping guards, you donโ€™t need to wear a tinfoil hat to question the official narrative.

If you say "ohm" while you meditate, it actually is an act of resistance.

Israel condemns hateful and racist greens.

For years we've seen an ongoing genocide.

It's been backed by right wing papers, the US President and by this Labour Government.

Oh, what's that? The UK is hit hardest despite all the bowing, scraping and giving in to another Epstein pedo cabal chum? Starmer is a joke of a PM.

Research is leadership, and code can help (but only in the right places) Code was never the blocker in delivering customer value โ€” and the easier writing code becomes, the more it distracts from the work we must do to unblock productivity.

You often hear "software development is changing, and we must adapt" because of Claude Code.

But for my entire career, code has been the *easiest* part of making shit people care about, and we still haven't adapted.

The easier coding becomes, the less often we ask "do users actually NEED this?"

Bezos has so much money, losing money doesn't matter to him, as long as it helps him win favor with the orange buffoon.
But paying employees more money is too much to ask.

I just want to live in a country where the leader canโ€™t enrich themselves with our tax dollars, the government does what the people want, and the wealthy have to follow the laws.

You know, like a democracy.

Reading people. Body language. Knowing how to connect with people totally unlike you and with different backgrounds and beliefs. Defusing tense situations. Gaining trust. High endurance, pain tolerance, and work ethic. Reaction time. Prioritizing order of execution. Anticipating peopleโ€™s needs. Tons
