The answer of course was : "the T! nobody had Ts like that before" with a knowing look and a wink, thus forcing the interviewer to prove that they actually know the answer to their question 😏

Interesting trick question in a job interview today:

"Do you know what aspect of ChatGPT was truly revolutionary?"

I normally hate trick Qs, but that was an interesting way to gauge my understanding of things at the edge of the role, rather than core to it.

A subtler way to gauge my geekiness.

who the fuck are 'advance uk' ???!

Pub conversation :
- "how long have you libed in the UK?"

- "I wasn't even born yet!!!"
- "I know 🙄"

a video game character is flying through the air with the website gifrun.com visible in the corner Alt: Link throwing himself from the air and hurling toward the ground, disappearing into a distant speck...

I now have a spare Switch in the flat so February will be dedicated to Zelda Tears of the Kingdom, let's see if I can rekindle my inner gamer

TIL the 80s knew of Michael Ball! #totp

2 electronic organs? bit greedy no? #totp

I know that #totp "you got it" song but never visualised the singer looking like that 😂

I'm starting to think the 80s was #totp soft spot. about right balance of cheesiness and good music, definitely more visually interesting than the 70s or 90s

black leotards and fishnet and yet the the ridiculous routine ensure any sexiness has been completed drained out of the act 😭 #totp

I really, really, really do not like #totp Pan's people 'routines' - I think it's the faces they pull that really irk me

why are boy bands choreographies on #totp always so lame?!?

ta, it would have bugged me all day otherwise

assuming you're at the gym it could be an extreme way to ensure he sticks to his training program? mikd electric shock if he tries to leave early or gets too close to the candy bar machine

The Times, 30th January 2026: "All 2.4m of Britain’s creative workers are at risk — and we know why. A new report into the impact of AI on the creative sector makes for apocalyptic reading. The government must act now." Source: https://archive.is/hvRv2

random Q to @paysan.bsky.social - watching your delivery from the comfort of the Jaunty Goat : what are those narrow and apparently quite heavy shiny barrels/containers, with a red top? gas for the pumps or actual beer?
