Ah, this feels familiar... #glasto
The queue page for Glastonbury Festival, with the festival name at the top in a fairground-style font. The page reads "You are now in the queue!
Please do not refresh this page or use multiple devices or tabs as you may lose your place in the queue.
If you reach the front of the queue, you will have 10 minutes to enter the website, before your session expires."

At the bottom is an indicator to show how far I've progressed in the queue. It shows, as ever, the two green bars of doom.

I love that they got the outline of the body to float. It's very Naked Gun.
A screen capture of a news story saying "Sailing cruiser sings in Dun Laoghaire harbour". The top of a mast peptides from the sea, and there's a white rope surrounding the patch of water where the boat sank. It looks a bit like the outline of a body (at least, a boat body) from an old murder mystery show.

It turns out the cynic in me was right. The easiest way to improve a national research funding settlement is to threaten to cut a new PM's favourite bits of the old one. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Please enjoy what is, in a crowded field, probably the most cringe-inducing tagline ever dreamt up for a #start-up cluster. I was just a *little* bit sick in my mouth.
An advert for decisionathlete.com, an entrepreneurs' community with the tag line "Founders are athletes whose sport is deciding."

Jesus wept. I cringed so hard I got whiplash.

I've been watching the World Cup final for near-on two hours, and the most entertaining thing that's happened in that time has been my son running around the room with his shorts on his head, pretending to be a rabbit.

There's a parallel timeline where the 2019 downturn turned into a normal sort of recession that tightened credit conditions, meaning all the LLM developers had to aim for breakeven by making commercially viable and legally compliant products, and around now we'd be excited about their possibilities.

It turns out that watching France vs England in Ireland today is *brilliant*, because the Irish commentators are desperate for England to win but completely lack the vocabulary to say so. Wonderful.
