Makes it sound like there's a white paper to bring back space hoppers and Watney's Red Barrel
Can the Tele make up their minds about whether the seventies was good or bad?

Scrum is the Trojan horse of agile frameworks: enables top-down micromanagement in the guise of superficially empowering workers. Genuinely one of the worst things to happen to the craft of software development (before LLMs came along, that is).

Can we retire the term "elite" and just use "the Epstein class" from now on?

Played around with the alpha #htmx 4. Very rough around the edges - it's not going to be released for a year - but wanted to get an idea of major changes down the line. Probably the most impactful is explicit inheritance, not a bad thing but maybe larger codebases might need a shim.

Cabinet of Chamberlains
On Culture Secretary Lisa Nandy’s refusal to review the BBC Board membership of Robbie Gibb, Lib Dem culture spokes Anna Sabine MP said:
"This is the wrong choice...Gibb isn’t fit to serve on the BBC Board, & the BBC Charter gives the Government the power to sack him." PM should step in, she says.

The US Democrats are the equivalent of the Russian Communist Party. Not because they are in any way communist, but because they provide a useful fig-leaf of democratic legitimacy to the regime, as the RCP does for Putin.
Hahahahah they were just playing a trick on us where they’d pretend to fight back until we voted for them, and then immediately cave www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

US is really selling itself as a tourist mecca. Choose between its favourite theme parks, Airport Departure Lounge World or ICE Detention Center World
atlanta is the busiest airport and hub in the country. this is astonishing
Waiting for a very delayed flight to Atlanta & the pilot (Scott!) has become everyone's best friend, hanging out amongst the people. He's let us know that Atlanta is only allowing 30 flights an hour, when it's usually 120.
Obviously frustrating but also enjoying how much Scott is relishing this.

Just updated side project to Postgres 18. One little hiccup: volume path for Docker image in k8s should be /var/lib/postgresql not /var/lib/postgresql/data. Otherwise all good.

This was less of an issue in the 1980s when we had max headroom
Late period Osborne: interest rates at zero and 50-80bn of headroom: and his priority was “don’t invest”.

A C team opposition that won an election by default because the Tories had all but given up. They have no ideas or project beyond their focus groups and the 24 hour news cycle.
If Labour cannot denounce mass deportation of permanent residents, Idi Amin style, what is the point of them?

Not to mention the blinkered and superficial British media
Parties who aspire to power in the UK seem to need constant reminders that other countries exist, that British people live in them, and that those countries won't take kindly to the mistreatment of their citizens. (Only seven years after the Windrush scandal broke.)

Anakin is the David Bowie of the Star Wars galaxy. He died at Mustafar like Ziggy Stardust at the Hammersmith Odeon, by the New Hope he's in the Thin Dark Lord phase but there's rumours it's not the same guy
I just realized, like. Was "Vader = Anakin" some big secret? Or an open secret that's technically illegal to say but everybody knew, or what. Was Luke just comically uninformed about current events on account of how he grow up? When Vader was like "I am your father" did he think Luke already knew
