IT IS TIME

The man looked up from his beach chair.

"Really?" He said. "I've only just retired."

Death held up a timer. A single grain was about to fall. And then... It didn't.

CURIOUS

Vetinari shrugged.

"I've only just discovered drinks with little umbrellas. I'll let it fall in a bit" 1/17

An old screenshot talking about Google on top. It says "Google is a pure search engine β€” no weather, no news feed, no links to sponsors, no ads, no distractions, no portal litter. Nothing but a fast-loading search site. Reward them with a visit. Below is a screenshot from The Phantom Menace, where Anakin Skywalker is walking next to a building and behind him you see the shadow of Darth Vader.

Most reliable poll so far puts Labour in the lead, with Reform a distant third.

(Yes, we should have tidied up first, I’ve been busy okay.)

This feels like most software development advice in that it is probably mostly true, but the real answer is always "it depends"

I think this constant push for immigrants to feel & act β€˜grateful’ is so insidious. Let’s change the narrative. Migration is a normal part of human behaviour, not a charity case. If you’re doing your best to do your best, you don’t need to do even more to be accepted. It’s your right to be accepted.

UK faces β€˜battle for the soul’ of the country, says Starmer amid Reform threat In a rallying cry to progressives around the world, the Prime Minister said allies must stop the β€˜politics of predatory grievance’.

β€œLet’s call it for what it is: bullshit. The truth is, politicians have talked about little else but immigration for decades and in the most dehumanising ways.

Polanski added: β€œStop the boats’ is all we hear. Well, today I'm saying β€˜stop the bullshit’.”

There are folk out there using .NET who never had to think about the Global Assembly Cache.

In some ways nature is healing.

Email is Easy Everyone knows what an email address is, right?

I scored 17/21 on e-mail.wtf and all I got was this lousy text to share on social media.

Email validation is _hard_ and a lot of websites are waaay to strict

Because we love privacy, and we love you, and this shit is predictable and unacceptable. Use Signal ❀️
