Posting my UCU ballot reminded me of posting one back in 2022. It's nice to see the postbox has had a glow up. #WeAreTheUniversity

Just piss off. There is no world where I am letting the machine that lies to you control my terminal.

Found this in a charity shop. Back then I was more of a Lotus SmartSuite fan. Should I pick this up so I understand the backstory of the current edition of word?

Well it's great to know that AC Grayling thinks I should kill myself. www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2024/11...

Screenshot from the linked article, reading:

He added: "If as an act of compassion you wanted to help somebody escape suffering, then why only in the last six months of a terminal illness? Why not for somebody who simply cannot come to terms with being wheelchair bound let us say? Or who is clinically depressed and is never going to be independent of medications for the rest of their lives?"

Where I have highlighted the line "Or who is clinically depressed and is never going to be independent of medications"

I bought a large amount of screws today at an excellent price, if anyone was wondering how I was doing.

I am thrilled that we are boiling the oceans for this shit

Google AI crap informing the user that 1000 characters of text is equal to 6000 words, assuming an average word length of 6 characters.

It goes on to say that the exact word count depends on how long the words are.

I was trying to come up with an amusing portmanteau for when you are tired and sad. Then I realised there is already a word for that.

I've been struggling the last few days due to a migraine. Today I am pain free but feel like I am swimming through treacle. But I have managed to cut a hole in my flat and fit a new fan duct. (Once cured I will clean the foam up)

What I find distracting is having my wages stolen and being expected to be polite to scabs.
