One thing that amazes visitors to Dublin is lads being served a glass of milk in a pub.
And God help the most junior member of staff who puts milk in a non-milk glass.

This is what it looks like when you refuse to tolerate trade union victimisation: voting YES and YES to defend a colleague.

How do you fuck up a golden-egg laying goose like 'Wetherspoons for people who went to Uni'? Simply, ignore the whole 'make a company that turns a profit' thing in favour of centering your anti-union Founder-as-celebrity CEO through some played-out vice signalling.

Watching pro AI people in Reddit discussions about slop PRs (code edit submissions to open source public software projects) complaining "What's the problem just review the PRs, if they're good merge them" really underlines a lot of the problematic way that AI boosters devalue respect for labour.

Keir Starmer has got a nerve lecturing other parties on security when his government appears to have no qualms about making every aspect of the UK’s essential infrastructure more & more reliant on Trump-supporting tech firms that have clearly shown themselves hostile to liberal democracy.

Happy Valentine's day, folks. Here's my favorite story about the nerd and the honeypot.
I vaguely recall @megelison.bsky.social telling a story from her fintech days about a shlubby engineer realizing several drinks in that he was being honeypotted by a model and climbing out the bathroom window to escape

In the 2nd edition, Dumbledore and Hagrid disappeared; in the 3rd, Hermione, Ron and Dobby were airbrushed out as well. By the 4th, Harry's pact with Voldemort was forgotten as was his confiscation of tuck owned by houses other than Gryffindor so their members starved. A 5th is being rewritten now.
