So Long to Tech’s Dream Job

Five-ish years ago, @lizthegrey.com told me tech workers needed to organize because the tech giants would automate their jobs, the market would flood with talent and they would lose bargaining power. I thought it was unlikely. Here’s a story about me being wrong. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/04/t...

I think we’re on the cusp of mass attempts to automate teaching, and I also think it is going to be a massive wasteful failure in ways that will make the “learning loss” of the pandemic look like a speed bump next to a mountain.

It does annoy me, it shouldn't be "Venus In Furs", it should be "Venus Implies".

Whitey wants to put a nuke on the moon.

Thank you!

Urgh. I feel this deeply.

Yay!

I can achieve just two styles of eyeliner:

God I love ice dancing. What soul!

YOU CAN SEE THE MILKY WAY AND BOTH MAGELLANIC CLOUDS!! 🌌🌌

The audience response to The Substance last winter was hysterical and visceral: people yelling at the screen, laughing maniacally, walking out of the showing. Wild.

Not a film, but an Australian jeans ad in the 80s famously used classic 70s Ozrock song Eagle Rock and all the kids in my matinee showing of Howard The Duck got up and shook their tailfeathers.

Oh I got a few:

Me and my friends sliding down off our seats to cower behind the row in front peeping through the gaps in fear during the night vision scene in The Silence of The Lambs.

Go for it. I don't even care any more.

If you want to see Michelle Mone kicked out of the House of Lords and arrested until she pays the £232,000,000 she owes give this a RT.

If you want Rishi Sunak's involvement in the £14,900,000,000 PPE Fraud he covered up investigated, LIKE.

The Kessar Lyre, a stringed instrument made of a human skull and goat horns with the strings strung from a rod between the horns through the eye sockets. Found at the Music Instrument Museum Malaga's prehistoric music room

This possibly the most intense musical instrument I have ever seen at Music Instrument Museum #Malaga #metal🤘

I feel like excel is about cunning as much as speed

One must be fluent in hypocrisy to be a Tory, especially if one is from a minority and wishes to get ahead. Pull up the ladder, Kemi. You'll still get shoved off the glass cliff.

I know several people who would be into this and would be competitive.

I've never been and I can't wait!

Good reminder. I have to book my Kurobi Alpine Road pass and my Yamazaki Distillery tour

Yay! Thank you! I will be there in October and very looking forward to art and architecture, including this place

Oh please send art recommendations

I dragged a big, necessary project across the line despite vociferous objection from haters, and I'm on holiday as of yesterday.
