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

This is authoritarianism
Home Secretary tells Sky News that “there is a gap in the law” when it comes to frequent, repeated protests on the same issue. Hence she will be giving police greater powers to move them to another location or time.

The drunk driver who killed this youngster while speeding was only given a 10 year + 2 month driving ban.
That is obscene.
If there were ever a case for a lifetime driving ban, it is exactly this kind of situation.

British train experience
Got on a train
Got off a train
Train went back to Brum
Waited for a bus for 90 mins
Gave up and got an uber to Leicester
Got on a train with two seconds to spare
It is the same fucking train

"Clair Obscur: Expedition 33" likely has the best music of any video game ever made.
I highly recommend listening to it, even if you aren't interested in games.
I haven't played it, but have been listening in the background. It's a masterpiece in its own right.

Over the years I've read quite a few parts of OpenID Connect specs, and just realised today I've been chronically misreading reading "Relying Party" as "Relaying Party" 🤦♂️.
