In short, this video is about owning your own lovely, beautiful HTML. @nathanwrigley.com is brilliant at editing out our tech failures, but this time we let the swearing go. It's probably the best bit. https://noscript.show/28/

I had a dream last night in which I was somehow in possession of a machine which could calculate goodness / badness of things. I managed to point it at the entire internet. It wasn't good. Then I woke up, and...

I wonder how many hours of work time has been lost over the past week with people watching the news (and other outlets) trying to figure out what's going on in the world?
