I do things with computers.
Can't we just agree that anti semitic attacks are a bad thing? Without having to bring Gaza into it or turning it into a competition about who is the most marginalised.

Watching your party descend into factionalism was entirely predictable and shows why the British far left are literally impossible for anyone to work with. Alan Johnson was entirely on point when he said they couldn't lead the working class out of a paper bag.

Normally I complain about AI evangelism but I must confess, in the homebuying/conveyancing process I've found delivering rants about how painful the process is for me to chat GPT extremely soothing.

My two main benchmarks for the state of the software engineering job market:
- Aptitude of candidates we interview (high = poor jobs market, low = good).
- Number of pestering messages I get from recruiters via e-mail and linked in.

We were lucky to have this guy in a position of authority during Brexit, doing what he could to limit the damage. Canadians would be lucky to get him as prime minister. Let much the perfect candidate for this moment.

In some ways booing him upgrades him to a person of significance rather than just someone filling a position while Trump and Musk ruin everything.

One of the more minor annoyances post brexit is, when someone uses the term, 'European' I have no idea whether they're referring to me/The UK.

British troops have fought and died alongside the Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq, just to be written off as non-existent people from "some random country". We have to maintain tolerable relations with this administration to try and minimise damage, but my god it's not easy.
Vance tells Fox the only US security guarantee in Ukraine will be the mineral deal.

And he describes British and French peacekeeping troops as “20k troops from some random country that hasn’t fought a war in 30 or 40 years”.

Starmer's presentation and rhetoric is good but the content is lacking. A plan lacking in ambition, lacking the kind of big urgent action which could protect us from Trump and Putin.

Started looking at twitter again and it's an absolute sewer. Feed is just full of racism masquerading as intellectualism.

Very few people I follow on twitter are in here. On the positive side its much less toxic now I don't see posts from politicians and celebrities
