Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 12hThat looks pretty darn cool. Hopefully it gets hit with ipace level depreciation and I'll be able to afford one at some point. 120
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 05/10/2026This is part of the PSHE curriculum in the UK. Is there not a similar thing in the US? 110
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 05/10/2026We have been sold the idea that the markets are some manner of omnipotent conglomerate, always directing resources where they are most efficiently used but it turns out they're just groups of trust-me-bros. 010
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I think we're broadly in agreement. There are some cases where keeping someone away from society required but even in that case is prison the best option? Why not house arrest with decent tracking technology? Why are we basically putting them in a boarding school for violence? 100
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 04/10/2026As for alternatives, it depends on our goals. Do we want punishment or rehabilitation? Once we get that clear, we look to implement a system that doesn't just make things worse. 100
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 04/10/2026We don't use them for removing dangerous criminals. We use them for all types. They're more incubators for dangerous criminals as recidivism rates show. If your goal is to make society safer and reduce criminality then prisons, as they currently stand, are a failure. 110
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 03/10/2026Prisons are incredibly ineffective and inefficient by any measure. 100
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 30/09/2026I think creativity is something of a blind alley here. Art is about connection. What connection can there be between the viewer and the machine-judged average product? You might say that there's a connection with the initial prompter but that feels too far removed. 000
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Look, my hammer escaped containment and hit my thumb. I need several billion dollars to work on hammer alignment or civilisation is doomed. 011
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 30/09/2026Really easy to say that electronic devices are incompatible with magic and that magical fields kill them. 010
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 28/09/2026My 9 year old is a big fan of Before you go, if you fancy giving it a listen. There's also quite an interesting documentary on his mental health struggles on Netflix. I don't think there's quite enough self-sabotage in there to make him a credible candidate for real-life Mennik but it's close. 010
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 28/09/2026I think Capaldi is actually pretty good. The accent alone is worth the entrance fee. 110

Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 23/09/2026I'd like to do the same with Alom's book. He sent me a copy for my son who loves it and I'd be happy to pay it forward. 200
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 19/09/2026He was an odd one because I could never understand the popularity of his books. He treated children, his readers and characters, with such active disdain I found them painful to read. They certainly never made the bedtime book cut. 152
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 16/09/2026But I keep hearing that non-white people are 'low-IQ'. How do we square this circle? 000
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Have we actually got someone with a private, uniformed, paramilitary force just wandering freely around the country? The Lancastrians would never have stood for this! 020

Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 29/08/2026The question is, will this sufficiently raise the class consciousness of the proletariat? 020
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 28/08/2026As a Brummie originally from Handsworth, I see it as the equivalent to me typing out: "Nah fam, that's bare bants, you get me." You're right that it would be weird and performative. 030
Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 23/08/2026I refuse to believe Pocklington is a real place. It's an invention for a Balamory-esque children's show. "Today in Pocklington, builder Gary is in quite the quandary." 010

Harv @hmann07.bsky.social · 07/08/2026I think this is the crucial missing piece. The jobs market for school leavers is just terrible. Both at schools and sixth forms I've worked at, young people who are skilled and ready just can't find a job. 130
