like. the immediate consequences of rejoining would be "a moderate economic upturn" and "slightly improved living conditions", both of which are changes no living briton has ever experienced. at that point just enjoy your next 12 years of stable majorities. "ungovernable" lol

"britain is ungovernable" is so funny considering you could unfuck solidly 65% of britains problems by just rejoining the EU

Yes. Super lucky at several points in my life, and well aware of being on the Lowest Difficulty Setting in Life here in the US (regrettably even more so today than before). I'm smart, talented and work hard, but lots of people do that and haven't gotten the breaks I've gotten from luck/privilege.

Having a lot of pride and heartache listening to Tessa Quinn's #CampDigital talk about the Scottish Government response to the illegal invasion of Ukraine. I wish we were having this talk with a free, safe Ukraine.

Patrick Stewart admits popular music "has never played a big part in my life" and recalls how he didn't recognize Sting on the set of Dune
"I heard he was a musician ... and so the second or third day were just hanging out on the set, just him and me, and I say, 'So, you're a musician?' And he said, 'Yup.' And I said, 'What do you play?' And he said, 'Bass' And I said, 'You know, I've often wondered what is it like carrying that huge thing around everywhere you go,'" Stewart said.

He continued, laughing, "And God bless him, he said, 'No, bass guitar.' And I said, 'Are you a solo artist?' And he said, 'No, I'm in a band.' And I said, 'Oh, what kind of band?' And he said, 'The Police," Stewart recalled. "Folks, I said, 'You play in a police band?'"

I encourage writers to never disparage their earlier works. Are they as polished as your current ones? No. But in their totality, they're a map showing where you started and what you learned. YOU made that journey, be proud, celebrate it. (Bonus: it proves you're human, and not an AI word monkey.)

Spun up an Oracle Cloud instance for a wee tech project, and whew. Just. Yikes. One of the most unpleasant and anti-user systems I've ever seen and this is for a service they presumably want me to like and pay for. I don't generally touch Oracle stuff but I'm going to be avoiding it even more.

XKCD cartoon, title "As a project wears on, standards for success slip lower and lower". First panel, 0 hours: stick guy at his desk telling his girlfriend, "Okay, I should be able to dual boot BSD soon." Second panel, 6 hours: stick guy lying on the floor in front of a disassembled computer saying "I'll be happy if I can get the system working like it was when I started." Third panel, 10 hours: stick guy standing and staring down at the computer saying "Well, the desktop's a lost cause, but I think I can fix the problems the laptop's developed." Fourth panel, 24 hours: stick guy and girlfriend floating in the ocean far from shore. He is saying "If we're lucky, the sharks will stay away until we reach shallow water" and she's saying "if we make it back you're never upgrading anything ever again".
