You know when you were told something 30 years ago and can't swear it's true, but it could be worth mentioning?
The manager of a Wandsworth day centre for teens with learning disabilities told me that their Hypercard database of client details was coded and created by David Thomas of Pere Ubu.

Reeves said PIP is "a waste of their potential and a waste of their futures.”
PIP is a measure that keeps more disabled people IN WORK, without it many will drop out of the workforce.
This REDUCES the economic activity the country needs.
Reeves is lying by pretending it's somehow the opposite.

Couple of things I think, that I haven't yet seen said:
1. Autistic people are allowed to be Nazi arseholes, to the same extent that everyone is.
2. If you've never faced serious, life-altering consequences for your actions, everything is up for grabs.

Had a thought I wanted to store as a quick infographic, so I tried a few AI image generators.
None of them can remember how many items there are in five, how to spell the words I've not only typed, but put in quotes or whether or not I want extraneous text to be added.
I'll just draw it by hand.

At the toll booths on the Tamar Bridge, while trying to put my card in my wallet and just after the very friendly man wished us all a nice day, my mouth failed.
To the delight of my family, I replied "cheer up", and then, without pausing to correct myself, drove away like I meant it.

What I am currently doing is writing this, a post about how hard I find it to answer the question "how are you?", rather than answering that question (from two days ago).

Finished it yesterday. Loved every moment and I've come away with a reading list AND a playlist.

I've no great insights as to the benefits of cross-platform migration on social media. But by and large people on here seem not to be misspelling key words on purpose and I'm in favour of that, if nothing else.
