I never write opinion pieces and stick to fact and analysis, but I made an exception for this one. #PostOfficeScandal www.computerweekly.com/opinion/MPs-...

MPs could be unintentionally going easy on tech ‘parasite’ in Post Office scandal bill | Computer Weekly
Fujitsu’s Post Office scandal bill should be a share of a figure much higher than the £1.8bn compensation costs cited in a Parliamentary committee.

"Overall, Grokipedia gives off the impression of a site where topics and people that Elon Musk likes or supports are presented without framings that cast any doubt on their validity, and those he dislikes are presented with criticism front-and-center." #grottypedia gizmodo.com/elon-musks-v...

Don’t think I’ve ever muttered the words “fuck me sideways” quite so much reading a story as this one.

Farewell to Joseph Nye — and to US soft power too?

I can't decide if #TrumpsTariffs are closer to Brexit promises to "make Britain Great again... soon... eventually..." (Never) or the beginning of a #TrussLettuce meltdown "Trust me, I know what I'm doing" The 1st is more likely (pain now, pain later), but it seems closer in mind-set to the 2nd

I'm not sure it would fix the HE funding crisis. And it perpetuates 18+ adults depending on their parents for HE access. Parents are expected, (based on income) but not _required_ to fund HE living costs; if they don't students suffer. It's unfair to penalise people for decisions of their parents.
