Mir hat @graslutscher.de gerade erzählt, dass er in Zukunft Verbrenner nur noch "Öltimer" nennen will, um sie als die veraltete Technologie abzuwerten, die sie sind, und ich denke, ich werde das auf jeden Fall verwenden. 😂

Very sad that I felt I had no choice but to resign from The Infinite Monkey Cage - a victory for the transphobes and other bigots - I did it because so much of the media has chosen to believe the kind and empathetic people are a fiction - they are real and so often unrepresented.

An underappreciated aspect of modern life is that instead of struggling to meet your mates in the bewilderment of architecture that is Birmingham’s New Street Station you can now just say hey lads, I’ll be next to Ozzy the giant cyberpunk technocow

As an experiment, I've been running BSky's 'rude' tag as click to view for several months.
In all that time I have never seen it applied to anything I would have regarded as rude.
Make of that what ye will, YMMV.

Taking myself to task here:
This is not a claim about what always or even mostly happens, but a reasonable person can legitimately read it as such.
The middle paragraph should read something like: Children more often missing from classrooms, more disruption due to substitute or missing teachers.

Meanwhile, lived reality, with which I have never seen Mr Veldhoen engage, is elevated and rising levels of secondary infection.
Classrooms half-empty, with substitute teachers or no teachers at all.
Rising levels of disability.

The hilariously* misnamed CSU plays the same game in Bavaria - posters in large towns and cities more often green than blue.

Much as the Holy Roman Empire was famously neither holy, nor Roman, nor an empire, the Christian Social Union is - you get the idea.

Hadn't thought of it that way before... but this frame makes very unpleasant sense. Also worth reading upthread.
I am not the originator of this insight, but: we do not actually know what is ADHD and what is post-traumatic stress, because our society does not produce untraumatized people with ADHD.

Slept 10-11 hours, so woke up with evening levels of tired, which is just about enough awake for an afternoon of Drop Duchy, a game I would describe as What if Tetris, but also city-builder with a side-order of tower defense?

The jawdropping phrase in this headline is 'and other XAML apps'. I quite like working with WPF, but I sincerely do not expect core OS components to be written (vibe-coded?) using a framework for writing apps that treat core OS components as infrastructure.

The term "Lloyds Bank coprolite" has now taken up permanent residence in my head.
I just learned about an old poop fossil on Reddit and now my loved ones shall not know peace until I've been able to tell them every horrible detail from the wikipedia.
Like how it was "moist and peaty"

I wish I didn’t have to share this. But the BBC has decided to censor my first Reith Lecture.
They deleted the line in which I describe Donald Trump as “the most openly corrupt president in American history.” /1

Even when you know - and, viscerally, accept, which is several steps beyond knowing - that gender is socially constructed, the outer wilds remain mindblowingly wild.
My infantry Bn had a really hard time parsing the gender and sexuality issues of Southern Helmand.
When people say, "you wouldn't want a 'purple haired gender studies major' in the Marines" I reply "YES we desperately needed them!" We had teams of anthropologists who published studies for us.

Das Thema Merz und Strafbarkeit von Vergewaltigungen in der Ehe kommt ja immer wieder auf und seine Kernargumente sind auch die gleichen:
a. Ich habe nie gegen die Strafbarkeit gestimmt
b. Wir wollten mit der Widerspruchsklausel Opfern helfen
