“It’s just my opinion” is what I always hear when people say provocative bullshit but have you considered the following:
[A] it’s obvious that’s your “opinion”
[B] your opinion should at least be educated in order to be taken seriously
[C] is it really an “opinion” or a variation of the same old ideological bollocks I’ve heard before?
[D] have you considered the fact that your “opinion” *isn’t* harmless if numerous people take umbrage with it?
[E] if you’re going to be an asshole, own it.
TIL that further and farther are not the same word, and that I've been using them right all along https://www.merriam-webster.com/words-at-play/is-it-further-or-farther-usage-how-to-use

I continue to be surprised by the number of people who argue that universities are a problem for society and ignore the possibility that society might be a problem for universities. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/02/opinion/elite-universities-campus.html

Wes Streeting can f*ck off. And every other red Tory scumbag in the Labour Party who spent 5 years deliberately sabotaging Jeremy Corbyn.
Never forgive. Never forget. Never red Tories.
Less stressed than perma-holiday Johnson and his crew of clowns? How so?

What I want to know is, why am I hearing/reading so little news about Sunak right now?
Is the Truss-in-the-spotlight phenomenon a Tory backroom ratfucking op in favour of Sunak, or is he just busy elsewhere, laying a clutch of eggs in another paralysed debtor?

when you brainstorm increasingly outlandish ways to cut public spending, don’t think one of them through, and accidentally announce that your flagship policy is cutting pay for nurses in the Red Wall

Blog from @jaybazuzi about benefits you can get from using Arlo's Commit Notation. I was particularly attracted by the 'nudge' reason. I think I would benefit from having that reminder to break up changes. https://jay.bazuzi.com/why-acn/

@drjanaway Starmer is just a turd floating on the cesspit of Labour; the whole party is scum.
It isn't just about Starmer, it's about root and branch mendacity, corruption, racism and nepotism. I can't turn a blind eye to it now I can see it.
If you can, that's on you.

We gave Phil Mickelson some words of encouragement during his backswing at Trump’s golf course yesterday.
Given that they’re quite happy to just lie through their teeth I don’t understand why she had a problem with this.

While Alison McGovern was Chair of Progress (a faction on the right of the Labour Party), it was taking money from the British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association.
I wonder why venture capitalists were giving them cash? https://twitter.com/SaulStaniforth/status/1553348818284027905
