Give it a slight tweak and you’re into Diplomatic Incident territory.

Is that not when you also cup the Ferrari Roche?

If you have a five string bass it’s n-1.

It’s a shame that sometimes, when an artist I really like dies, I find it sad to consume their art. Robin Williams, Prince, Bowie…

I read an article once about how collectors had amassed what had seemed to be a large valuable collection of Elvis memorabilia only to find that when they came to sell it that so many Elvis fans had died that it was all but worthless.

…website if I couldn’t find the reference for the one that AI had vomited up. And that would be assuming that I’d not scrolled past the AI answer at the top of Google to find the canonical reference.

In no way at all am I justifying what they did, but is there a date on the page with your proposal guidelines? I ask because web pages are often written and then forgotten about and not updated and it’s conceivable that they wanted to confirm this. Personally I’d have gone with the one on the…

One week there’ll be a task to dig a hole 4’x6’x6’ and nobody will blame her for what happens next. Grow the fuck up eh?

The sight of men harassing and attacking a woman in the name of defending women and children is sickening.

Probably feels like a misfit because he lacks a solid bass.

That’s a lot of bulwarks.

There’s always that chance that it was an urban myth that someone reenacted as they thought it was a good idea.

Doh! Not read that since I was a kid and missed it.

Something nice to choke on when the CTO sends me a zip file of his Claude project to “productionise”.

We’re entering a world where inexperienced people can create code that does impressive things at a blistering rate without the safeguards of tests or understanding the code and edge cases and I feel like a cabinet maker who has just had an Ikea open up next door.

I’m still shocked at the number of people who don’t look at the diff of a pr before creating it. They get something working and then git add everything, commit, and create a pr with all sorts of artefacts in it.

That was kind of the ‘joke’. It’s about two thirds of what I see on LinkedIn.

"British female track and field athletes are being asked to cover the cost of their own £185 sex tests if they want to compete internationally"

For me it’s not that you’re gone from Monkey Cage, but Monkey Cage has gone from your timeline. You’re the interesting mind and moral straight line - Monkey Cage formed, followed, and then departed from that line.

Not only is it the first ship sunk by torpedo by a submarine since 1982, but the first unarmed ship sunk by a submarine since 1945.

He’d make every other post some AI generated slop hot take on AI. It would be dreadful.

Maybe he’s really on an odyssey - he’s going to spend the series contending with Olympian gods and mythical creatures.

Any time someone tries to justify something by talking about “hard working families” my hackles immediately go up.

That would help dissuade anyone from setting up one of those apocryphal dodgy barbers shops. Not sure you’d have many people wanting to take on that task.
