TWICE. Twice in one fucking day.

Another day, another minor crisis caused by me not putting something in my calendar.
@tommorris @jackeric unfortunately all coverage of laws is played as a Westminster soap opera because it gets covered by the political reporters, who don’t really have any in-depth knowledge of anything other than the Westminster social scene.
Seeing the British political media turn the debate about #OnlineSafetyAct into a catty fight between Peter Kyle and Farage without looking at the underlying problem—namely, the legislation being an overly complicated dogs dinner—is sadly predictable.
Nor is anyone talking about how it’s a regulatory moat that protects the big players like Facebook rather than holding them to a much higher standard.
What is with all the Sendgrid spam? I swear every other email I get is someone trying to steal some Sendgrid credentials.
- Hey, you know how salmon jump up waterfalls on their way to spawn? I managed to catch one on video.
- Nice. You haven't done anything stupid to this amazing, strong, determined, creature have you?
-
- I said...
- I heard what you said.
All search boxes ever: if there are results for what I typed in but none for what your autocorrection thinks I meant to type it’s safe to assume I knew what I was doing.
@eskibrew @jmacarthur I find that promotional photo very amusing. Traditional TV person: smiling, but looking casual and approachable. YouTuber: Grinning like a loon and pointing at something.
My phone just asked me whether [number] is still my phone number to make sure I can recover access. Surely it can just ask the SIM card?
@andypiper @skylar the curse of the Net Promoter Score, somehow considered to be a valid substitute for managers going out into the world and seeing what the service their responsible for is like.
I’ve recently been paying attention to what I eat, and exercising regularly. I was going to make some snide remark about that because it’s quite out of character for me but you know what? All those people who say it makes you feel better know what they’re talking about, I feel better than I have done in quite a long time.
Report imaginary spies or danger to the Gestapo or police.
Not saying I’m having difficulty thinking today but I just asked myself whether a device had a network connection as a possible cause for some odd lines in the logs being streamed to me from it across the internet.
It’s 10:26am and already I’m incandescently angry at the general state of the world. Becoming hermit is ever more appealing.
Well this is grim. Love to live in a police state.

@petergleick @tdp_org in a few decades I think there’ll be things emerging that make the tobacco companies look like they had our best interests at heart.
New Strange New Worlds *and* Donkey Kong Bananza? Truly fate has smiled upon me today.
Shout out to balena.io for a) making almost all their code open source b) having a really solid product and c) their support team not blacklisting me for endlessly opening tickets that can be summarised as “I know your product isn’t meant to do this, but are there any workarounds I can use to make it do it anyway”
I mentioned I did something 25 years ago, and then it sunk in that I wasn’t *that* young even then. Is this what getting old feels like?
I got a pop up ad on a Sainsbury’s self scan thing today. Is nothing sacred?
Idea: set up an online forum, but to comply with the Online Safety Act and verify age, new UK users have to go to a pub & buy you a drink to get access
