HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 1hA pathetic detail is that the camera had only been installed that day, and someone else had already vandalised it an hour earlier. He didn't even destroy a camera. 030
HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 3hStuck onto slips of card, Christmas present tags. Scattered on the Christmas dinner tablecloth. (Of course one has a tablecloth for Christmas, are you a barbarian?) Hung on threads on the Christmas tree. There may be a theme here. 120
HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 6hI would buy this as a simile for Brexit in about 2019, as the UK noisily failed to deal with what was ultimately a problem only for the UK. It seems wildly inadequate to describe the USA's ongoing spasm. 010

HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Outlook lets you do this and it appears in a tiny way at a corner of the Outlook window without any other notification, which is fine except when your colleague intends the thumbs-up to bear an actual meaning you should respond to. 000
HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026This is a monumentally bad idea, environmentally, economically, and politically. If our fuel becomes more expensive it makes the country poorer. That's nothing like a tax, which reallocates some wealth to make the country as a whole better off. Calling it a "Trump tax" has addled your thinking. 061

HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 02/10/2026The BBC website's local news was good about twenty years ago, till they downgraded it at the request of the long-defunct local papers of the time. Just putting a section for local and regional stories back on the front page would make the difference. 000

HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Removing the standing charge in favour of higher per unit costs would be a subsidy to those who can afford solar+battery+heat pump and use little net electricity despite relying heavily on the grid being available, and a penalty on those in fuel poverty who count the pence for every kWh they use. 191

HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 21/09/2026This is news to me. Christmas was fixed in the Roman calendar to sit on top of Natalis Solis Invicti, before it was a feast of the Church generally. It has never moved relative to the Roman calendar. There's no sense in which it is ever "really" on some other day. 110

HTFB @htfb.bsky.social · 18/09/2026They would do it the other way round, of course. Mandatory experience as a cyclist and a proficiency test to pass before graduating to start on your motor licence. I expect current drivers would get 24 months grace or so, and then have to pass the cycling CBT and test or surrender their licence. 121
