Does my Speak-n-Spell feel pain when I type O-U-C-H? The jury is out. Philosophers and neuroscientists say that's fucking stupid, but I called a guy from the Center for Pretending that Household Electronics Are Sentient and he said there's no way to know for sure.

Jeff Bezos and I are very different people. For one thing, he is a sociopathic billionaire who built his fortune by monopolizing bookselling while I am a penniless author of books. He was born in 1964 and is 62; I was born in 1971 and am 55.

I'm glad of the explanation, thank you. If I had blocked you I wouldn't have had it.

I don't know who Adam Kay is but just saying someone's joke isn't funny seems unnecessary to me and mean. Would you do it face-to-face like that? Persistent laughing-at-your-own-jokes emojis is reason enough for a block IMO.

Yeah, this is default non-posh in Shropshire I reckon. If supper is a thing (wasn't in my house) it would be a later treat before bed. When I met someone posh there were 4 meals a day B/L/T/S with tea at 4pm, which was pleasingly decadent, but the tea was distressingly weak.

You too. I hope you had a nice mini eclipse 😺

That was clearly never the premise in either example. It's easy to downplay people's concerns when you completely misrepresent them in your head.

Were people who were concerned about camera phones in schools wrong then?

You have a good idea whether they are taking a selfie video from their behaviour. And you either try to rule it in/out or you simply make an assumption and tell them to fuck off anyway.

Dave @davetheginge.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

If someone was permanently pointing their phone at me, I'd probably tell them to fuck off or worse. If they were constantly waving at colleagues, likewise. Battery life/resolution do not figure in my reasoning.

Either the man meant what he said, and deserves the honest responses to those positions, or he didn't and shifted public discourse while making money and fame off the back of it. I'm honestly not sure which is true, or which is worse.

To use the argument that most kids aren't vulnerable is irrelevant and damning. Schools were shut to protect the pop/hospitals. I assume this guy is just farming engagement for the coin. Yet another grifting c

Dave @davetheginge.bsky.social · 02/08/2026

It's not massively surprising that people react passionately. 'A price worth paying [for avoiding compete acute hospital ward breakdown and huge additional numbers of vulnerable people dying]'. That week back at school after Christmas was monumentally stupid.

I'm picturing a pap shot of Burnham digging the grave, in black vest dripping with sweat, followed by helicopter footage of the privy council and PMs' kids attending the funeral. Mail goes with 'PM digging his own grave again' every time they can, but the public like a beshovelled man. Sunny uplands

Excellent point. I hadn't really considered the repugnant section 28 through a freedom-of-speech lens.

If what you say is true, your point might work better if you provide evidence that supports it.
