I'm going to venture a potentially unpopular opinion and suggest that Elrond Muff might not be the genius businessman some people believe him to be. He's definitely no Donald Trump, at any rate.

I've been enjoying the Fallout TV series. I know nothing about the game or whatever it's based on (I don't play games) but I don't feel like I'm missing out. (Perhaps I am, but it doesn't feel frustrating.)

I'm writing a sad song about a girlfriend who left me when she discovered I only have 4 digits on my right foot. She was lack toes intolerant.

Another day, another recruiter trying to fill a role "delivering a digital experience that is genuinely inclusive for all" that requires the employee to commute (presumably in rush hour) 3 days a week to an office (presumably noisy and open plan) and doubtless carrying any assistive tech they need with them.

I heard that a teacher from my high school has died. She never taught me, but obvz I knew her and -unusually for snotty teen me- I liked her. Facebook is full of names I haven't heard for 40 years saying things like "Mrs H. was the only one that believed in me and told me I was a better person" and "I was one of the problem pupils, yet she showed me nothing but respect and compassion, I was quite destructive but she always appreciated what was going on for me, and I carried her kind words with me for many years". What a legacy.

I picked up this swag at a React conference. I mentioned to the bloke on the PornTube booth that it's really bad for their brand to suggest that you'd need something else to occupy your hands, and he looked really crestfallen.

Excited to be here at CERN preparing to fire a blast of Higgs Tachyons into the solar eclipse in order to fulfill Revelations 6:94 and start the Rapture.

My modest proposal: Failing water companies should go bankrupt, their investors lose everything, their boards and C-suites be fired, and the gov should buy them for £1 and run them as national utilities. Ditto the railways and privatised energy orgs that price-gouged us last 2 winters. Then every statue of Thatcher & her ideological allies should be melted down and turned into commemorative medals to celebrate the day we free ourselves of the stupidity that saw the nations' utilities and housing stock sold to profiteering wideboys.

Does anybody still have a personal "blank page" when they open a new browser tab?

With shortcuts to your favorite links, little widgets with live data you're interested in?

That was a thing on the old web. I'm going to start one for myself again.
