In Our Time this week is Handel's Messiah and one of the guests is actually singing to illustrate his points. Bloody great.

This is the first time in my life I TRULY FEEL like we live in a dystopian 80s satire. Like at any moment my wife will say "Did you hear about the horrible thing the President did today?" and I'll just respond. "Yeah. Man, I'm glad we don't live in Detroit. Too many Robocops."

I'm not one to besmirch the humanities, but the "DPhil, Poetry" here is absolutely sending me.

i believe in redemption, grace, restorative justice and second chances.
but nobody is entitled to wealth, fame, or mass adoration—and if a path back to all that even exists for louis c.k., it ran in the opposite direction from putting on a tie and doing “trigger the libs” bits in saudi arabia

it’s true that overall likes are way down on bluesky over the past year. however, if you look closely at the data, that’s mostly an anomaly resulting from the fact that your posts specifically have gotten worse and are dragging the vibe down.

Almost crashed out because I'd lost half the weekend to a headache before remembering that it's not even Saturday yet and Monday is a bank holiday.

Data centres in the abstract becoming a totemic symbol of intrinsic evil is one of the most staggeringly anti-intellectual, not to mention self-defeating, bits of dumbshit agitprop I've ever seen.

People celebrating (unverified) reports of data centres being hit with with missiles, on Bluesky, which helpfully only runs on a few old Pentium 4 boxes in someone's garage and not in, say, data centres. Some of you people really don't understand a single thing, do you.

Literally everything that makes me better at my job than a newbie is because I've already done all the fuck-ups and learnt how to un-fuck them. Wiping out the entry-level is going to destroy productivity long-term because no one will know how to do anything anymore.
