I’m here, not there. 🏳️‍🌈
I don’t want a ‘sneak peak’ at your Christmas advert, thanks.

The chap on ‘Final Score’ sounds very very excited about Lincoln v Exeter.

Feels like a major achievement to put out all of the recycling bins

I mean, by my reckoning I’ve got at least 6 government ID numbers already… perhaps they think I’m 6 completely different people?

I’m very glad to see the last of my devices with a Lightning cable disappear, no more loose wobbly holes for me!

I’ve just had my age verified and now I’m allowed to see *everything*!

I absolutely loathe the view that education should be to prepare you for work. It should better you as a person, as a citizen, allow you to develop interests, pique creativity, and give enough background knowledge and analysis skills to make informed decisions and participate meaningfully in life.
No, employers need to do their own training. It’s not educators’ job to make sure that school-leavers — or graduates — have the specific skills that each company needs. Employers need to invest in their workforce.
We need our children to leave school ready for life in the real world

To ensure that young people embarking on a career have the skills and mindset employers are looking for, education must be linked more closely to the workplace, writes David Blunkett.

Just finished watching Israel very nearly winning the Eurovision Song Contest, turned over to the news to see Israel continuing to destroy Gaza. Something very wrong here.

Turned off news alerts on my watch. I don’t want to know, thanks.

I asked ChatGPT to make me a diagram and it made one full of nonsense half words like it does. I told it to do it properly and it said it couldn’t make me any more diagrams. Rude.

Today’s irritation: stop using custom PDF viewers in your websites and just let me have the damn PDF.

this electrical transmission tower has a little problem. can you spot it? actually, it's not a small problem--it cost us 16.65 *billion* dollars and caused the deaths of 85 people.

When in Brussels, I don’t only drink beer, I also eat chips with mayonnaise.
