Cat pics, tech, ranting. Sweary. Londoner. Enemy of gerunds in headlines. When I want advice, I'll ask for it.

yeah, if you want to do a Pi project that needs a bit of ram and you'd prefer an SSD rather than running it off a microSD card (I've had microSD cards fail in Pis that read and write a lot of data), then you're looking at well north of a hundred quid.

I want to praise whoever insisted on making sure this is part of Amol Rajan's wikipedia page #CelebrityTraitors
In August 2024, he appeared as himself in episode 1 of series 3 of Industry, where he is referred to as "a fucking tote bag journalist.."

I am in some ways rather hoping that massive twat Rajan has been picked as the traitor, because I feel like the nation could do with a new villain to unite in hatred around

Letting potentially violent twats take over your party seems quite bad

Mildly surprised how many people think "yeah Burnham's speech went down well but did you not notice how he failed to solve the (checks notes) 20 year growth and fiscal problems he inherited" is a devastating and insightful critique.

Everything about this is just completely terrifying - thank God for the brave passengers who dragged the attacker off, and thank God there were a couple of pilots deadheading on the flight who could take over flying the plane

I’ve been a media witness to two federal executions. One was Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. The other, a week later, was a drug kingpin named Juan Raul Garza. My conclusion after watching both men die: The death penalty should not exist. Period. It fixes nothing, and it erodes our souls.

Happy #CelebrityTraitors day to those who celebrate! Can I suggest that those who don't, and those who moan about spoilers during live discussions, mute the hashtag? And those who do partake, please use the hashtag.

When I worked at the FT in the 90s, Borough Market was a rough, tatty wholesale market under a decaying Victorian structure. The nearby pubs were mostly about the market traders, and it felt properly dodgy walking through the market in the evening.

So much of the menopause and perimenopause discourse is designed to make women feel like shit and then flog us stuff. And the net effect is that we end up presenting ourselves as ditzy "meno-brain" incompetents.
