Imagine the Hundred Days, but at Grenoble they laughed and told him to piss off.
I too have always thought that Twitter and WhatsApp are very similar systems with identical problems that would require similar staffing. 🙄🙄🙄

Having just binged both this weekend I feel 100% confident in this opinion.
After seeing yet another "code because it's your personality, not just for money" cycle today, I wonder...do other trades enjoy the smell of their own farts as much as people who write computer code?
Standardising electrical plugs?! I wanted AS/NZS 3112 as much as anybody, but why mandate it this way? Such government overreach!

Shorter Scott Morrison: “Now honestly what is that? Do they give a Nobel prize for conspiracy to commit chemistry? Do they?”
House of the Dragon reminded me of everything I hated about Game of Thrones. And it sure wasn't the last season.
I feel bad for Denise. I wonder what Alfre is doing these days.
Fuck...I'm finally having a parasocial relationship :-(
I'm hoping in iOS 16 that Siri stops responding to chicken sizzling in the pan.
