Nigel Farage ‘giving very serious consideration’ to joining I’m A Celebrity - Evening Standard
https://apple.news/ADPyD23NBR5mUbBqFWy1yyA. Wouldn’t it be cannibalism for one arsehole to eat another?
@otownKim @JonChevreau they both are. Neither is fit. Shows what a sad joke the whole thing is.
@bobthomson70 You're right. I will leave it.
I like to get far enough back to have Oracle on there.
Looking for work so just spent a few hours on LinkedIn. Wish I hadn't deleted my profile because too many people were ringing me some years ago.
Putting all my jobs back in is so tedious. I have a memory of loading a CV straight in years ago but that seems to have gone by the wayside.
That's the problem with getting ancient, there's just a lot of stuff.

Hey folks, I've seen a lot of talk going around about adblockers lately. I worked in the advertising technology and security industry for five years and the one core piece of advice I have is:
Holy fuck never give an advertiser your data. You cannot believe how bad it is. Don't. I run three layers of ad block protection and I'd run more if it was feasible. If you want to support creators give them money.
War in Gaza
There hasn't been an election since 2006 and half the population are under 18. 40% under 16, it's hard to see how they supported Hamas.
What a world we live in.

@cstross I expect Trump's most precious artwork is a print of dogs playing poker which he insists is the original.
@JeniParsons word blocking, probably, I imagine it helps keep the fash quiet.
I’m on holiday and therefore only phone so might redo it when I’ve got access to a proper keyboard.

Please, remind your right-wing friends that they can kill the woke virus by microwaving their phones on high for seven minutes.
I dunno why everyone's frothing about the 20 speed limit. All the selfish fuckers are doing 50 in the 30 anyway. Or tailgating those of us who actually do the limit.
Enforcing the exiting limit would make things much safer without all the messing about.
Moderately amusing
I was writing an article for my Green Plenty substack and thought I would try the dictation software on my Macbook
"Capitalist" was being rendered as a capital S
Which made the text read a bit oddly
"if you can't manage recycling you shouldn't be running the country" ...

I think we really missed an opportunity a couple of years ago when we didn't call NFTs “grift certificates”.
