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

This is a thread about UCU & what it has become over the last few years. But the first thing I want to say is I didn’t join a union to stay silent or turn my back on a single parent of three facing dismissal on the basis of their trade union activities. Marie Monaghan is the Unite UCU 1/12

Finding hard to swallow some Irish people saying politics should be kept out of sport when the British Army massacred players and spectators in the largest sporting ground in the country... It was political when IRFU refused to boycott apartheid SA, it is political when FAI refuses to do so for 🇮🇱

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.
