Prof Yaffle 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿
@profyaffle.bsky.social
Misplaced Cymro, lapsed astrophysicist/ICT, small L liberal. Sci/tech; politics; ASD; linguanerd, Twitter refugee (@viridispicus). Really unkeen on Brexit and right-wing lunacy.

The folly of Brexit remains the single greatest political blind spot. My wife has suggested for some time that, if Labour keeps on at this madness, it'll be the Tories who ultimately realise their mistake and offer to "supercharge the economy" through a closer relationship with the EU.

Madness.

To be fair, "charging more for less" is pretty much the go-to strategy of most consumer brands now - it's just that brand loyalty to ketchup is more tenacious.

"The 'Changing Rooms' team was so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn't stop to think if they should."

And it was only yesterday, while looking at the fantastic, savanna-like sunset, that I wondered what had happened to those majestic beasts. I go in search, and here you are!

Good to see you again, especially away from The Bad Place.

"Excuse me, but I'm losing the will to live here and am completely peopled out. I love you dearly, but the tedium is equally unbearable and interminable.

"Would you mind terribly if I just stepped outside for a moment prior to an avoidable psychotic episode, possibly ending in murder? Many thanks."

Alas, I suspect not.

I do oversee small, insignificant corners of the Internet, but they're typically audio/video related.
