Stone cold classic.

Yeah, because it stinks

The title bears more than a passing resemblance to The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (UK, 1976)

More like the Conservative government spent in the region of £700m on the scheme, and sent only 4 people there.

Reminds me of the first time I worked in a newsroom in the early 2000s. When the repeated slamming wasn’t enough, the whole phone would go flying across the office. I, unfortunately, had the desk by the wall, in the prime firing line. My reflexes became boss in those first 3 months.

I have started to do this and I’m using Docker to host Kiwix. I’m currently using it to provide offline versions of Wikipedia, medical guides and tutorials for various programming languages. My plan is to put essential apps and information on an RPi and provide a broadcast hotspot where anyone can access the info.

I also live on top of a hill, so I’m saving up to put together a solar powered Meshtastic repeater that I can mount to my aerial pole.

Wireless Application Protocol. I can no longer say on my CV that I ‘worked on WAP in the early 2000s’.

The dread and despair is so real.

Gives Event Horizon vibes

I wish the media would stop portraying it as left vs right. In the UK, the traditionally left-leaning Labour party that is currently in power are also coming after disabled people. It’s not left-right politics, it’s the predatory billionaire class coming after everyone, taking the easiest targets first.

Reich calls out the Führer, there’s a headline that writes itself.

The symptoms I live with daily as a result of ADHD are not the same as those used to diagnose ADHD, and I recognised that in 2022 when seeing videos of people’s lived experiences of ADHD made me realise they were talking about my lived experience.

I then when on to do a screening questionnaire which I spoke to my doctor about, who then agreed to refer me to a specialist psychiatrist for diagnosis.

The article basically boils down to the obvious ‘don’t take what you see on social media at face value, do some research’ and isn’t a revelation about ADHD content, more that they took a subset of content on a social media platform and found that non-experts in the field were as susceptible to inaccurate information on ADHD as likely most non-experts in any subject would be when encountering content on that subject on social media.

Exquisite Monty Python reference. Bravo!

Can I interest you in my new investment venture? It’s essentially Kitty Ozempic. We’re predicting the market for it to grow by 8000% over 4 years because of all the fat leopards.

If you watched this and enjoyed it, there is a Micro Men 10th Anniversary retrospective chat with Chris Curry, Steve Furber and Hermann Hauser from The Centre for Computing History.

Although the dramatisation is mildly apocryphal, it does capture really well the entrepreneurship and rivalry of microcomputer development in the UK in the 1980s. I love this short movie and have to go back and watch it again every couple of years.

So brave! I’m sure his action will have a deep and wide ranging impact /s

Is that the Hank Cocaine who’s friends with Steve Buttstuff?

Is that not just in the vegan pornos though? Fuck cream, fuck cheese, fuck meat, etc.

As it should be. It’s only cum if it comes from the Balzac area in France.
