Still quite pleased with how this short article turned out https://francisfish.com/organisational-muddiness/
@philipjohn we could've had May's deal and still had free movement etc. but instead we've got the clown car nonsense we have now.
@philipjohn I think so, yeah. I've only seen the Novara interview with the author. Not sure I can bring myself to read a book about him tbh.
However, hard Brexit lies at his door and no-one's picked up on it. Very interesting,
Problem is, I don't trust either of these "alternatives" either. It's the status quo that's killing us.

A vote for Keir Starmer in the 2020 labour leadership race was a vote for moral cowardice in public life.
Those who voted for him, including many of my friends, didn’t expect that. The challenges & opportunities of the 21st century require boldness & ambition!

When you're in a dystopic society but you're just resigned to it, that's Ohwellian.
@remaster I used to have one of these. No idea what happened to it.

Here you go @Keir_Starmer... while you are busy attacking Jeremy Corbyn, he is fighting #ToryFascism.
Watch and learn. https://twitter.com/jeremycorbyn/status/1537054676079738881

The government’s Rwanda policy is a disgrace.
Got knocked back on a coding test
Calling something that fetches something from an external API ThingFetcher and something that stores info to match what the user wants WassnameMatcher (names changed slightly) is somehow a poor choice of names ...
And apparently linting with standardrb and RubyMine's built in layout manager isn't linty enough.
Think I dodged a bullet.

Depiction of trans people as sexual predators is identical to similar attacks on LGB people. Some people from any group, including cis women, are sexual abusers. Claiming all trans people are dangerous is transphobia.

Migrants don't rob the public purse of billions of pounds.
That's tax dodgers.
Migrants don't drive down wages and exploit workers.
That's greedy bosses.
And migrants don't underfund our schools and hospitals.
That's a Tory government working for the 1%, not the 99%.

The only countries ever to leave the European Convention on Human Rights are Greece, temporarily, after a military coup, and Russia, after invading Ukraine. In case you were wondering what kind of company we'd be in if we left.
RT @SqueakinglyJen
I myself have wondered why refugees didn't stay in European countries and have travelled on. So I asked them.

If you're the sort of person who cares about benchmarking or colour calibration, it turns out Samsung has been cheating on the tests. https://www.flatpanelshd.com/news.php?subaction=showfull&id=1654235588
We've started referring to this "cheating when you detect benchmarking processes" as "volkswagening", at work.

Of course the best way to avoid having your evil, immoral, appalling, human-rights-abusing plans halted by judges…
…is not to have evil, immoral, human-rights-abusing plans.

Instead of trying to convince everyone that a runaway pandemic, low wages, unsafe workplaces, and high costs of living are actually good, why not, you know, do something to improve their lives?
