Hey @fnv.bsky.social, ik wou een afspraak maken voor jullie loopbaanspreekuur om te kijken of ik nog wel softwaretester wil zijn of dat ik eens wat anders kon gaan doen, maar ik geloof dat universum voor me besloten heeft 😅 Bugfinder general it is.

I went to the vagina museum for the first time last December. It was great! I tend to think I'm fairly educated on the female anatomy and then I learned I had always called uterine tubes ovaries. This place is great and important and it needs cash to exist. Throw in a penny if you can.

Congratulations! You found it (and more informative text on the clitoris but it's not all captured in the image)

What a fucking surprise
Screenshot of a guardian article, part of the text highlighted. Highlighted part first because really that's all you need to know, but full screenshot below.

Highlight: hundreds of hours attempting to navigate the planning process when they opposed plans to convert a building near their home into a mosque.

Full screenshot:
It uses generative AI to scan planning applications and check for grounds for objection, ranking these as “high”, “medium” or “low” impact. It then automatically creates objection letters, AI-written speeches to deliver to the planning committees, and even AI-generated videos to “influence councillors”.

Kent residents Hannah and Paul George designed the system after estimating they spent hundreds of hours attempting to navigate the planning process when they opposed plans to convert a building near their home into a mosque.

Hey, this reminded me of you, @ewangibbs.bsky.social, and that reminded me that I used to follow you on twitter! Anyway, I read this line and thought, you never know. Probably not exactly your thing but it's in your general sphere of interest, I think.
The trouble is, we have very little evidence on what happened. We know that male employment rates crashed in the 1980s, as I wrote about here. But no-one was collecting good data on the extent of light work in the 1970s. 

Highlighted by me: (As an aside: I’ve been thinking of doing a historical project on this for at least a decade - I don’t know if it’s viable, but let me know if you’d be interested in exploring it).

@volkskrant.nl 'gebaar dat verdacht veel lijkt op een Hitlergroet' Hou nou op de Hitlergroet te normaliseren door te doen alsof dit alleen 'lijkt op' een Hitlergroet. Rechterarm schuin omhoog is niet ambigu, het is niet vaag. Dit is een kraakheldere boodschap. Noem het gewoon een Hitlergroet.
Screenshot van een Volkskrant artikel met de foto van Steve Bannon die een Hitlergroet brengt, met onderschrift: Steve Bannon bracht de nazigroet uit aan het einde van zijn toespraak op een conferentie van conservatief rechts Amerika.

Daarna Inleiding van het artikel: 
Na Elon Musk heeft nu ook Steve Bannon, de voormalige adviseur van Donald Trump, tijdens een toespraak een gebaar gemaakt dat verdacht veel lijkt op een Hitlergroet. Dat ging zelfs de voorman van het radicaal-rechtse Franse Rassemblement National te ver.

I want to share with all of you the history of the various names the Butthole Surfers used to operate under
Screenshot from Wikipedia, heading 'Name':

The band did not begin as Butthole Surfers, although they did have a song of that title, possibly an early version of 1984's "Butthole Surfer". This changed at their first paid concert, when an announcer forgot what the band was called and used the song title for the group's name. They decided to keep the moniker, and have largely been billed as such ever since. Prior to that, Butthole Surfers performed under a different name at every live show. Early aliases included The Dick Clark Five, Nine cm Worm Makes Own Food, The Vodka Family Winstons, Ashtray Babyheads, Ed Asner Is Gay, Fred Astaire's Asshole, The Right to Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole, The Inalienable Right to Eat Fred Astaire's Asshole, Zipgun, and many others.
