Making your conference talk slides? Make the font bigger. Do it again. I know the default font looks ok when you’re looking at it on your laptop but I promise no one can read that from the back

If you can’t fit all the words you want on one slide, you have too many words. Make another slide!

Western capitalism did not need to be corrupted by the Russians or the Jews into being horrible and murderous, and if you are looking for shadowy outside forces to explain why your ruling class is a bunch of pricks you are massively fooling yourself.

Both showers and public transit rides have 3x multipliers to Thinking Time. You'd think stationary bikes would be too because they're both moving and mindless but actually they're 0.5x at best. Long flights have 10x to Thinking Time but only if you're in the sweet spot of tired but not TOO tired

The petamour raved about it today at lunch 🥹

Paging @rendle.dev who is about to start a livestream series about This Sort Of Thing and is looking for guests

She's like an old samurai whose great battles are behind her but every once in a while she kills a man with piece of paper just to prove a point

something v encouraging to see lately is how clear eyed people have become about assigning fault to institutions rather than individuals. BAFTA/BBC tried to throw that poor man under the bus by seating him where they did and airing what they did but no one’s buying it

update: getting really drunk (religious obligation due to Purim) has helped enormously

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis.

Hmmmmmm.

I hadn't even considered this particular aspect of today. thank you for sharing; truly there is joy and love in the world

Honestly this little anecdote is for me just emblematic of something I really believe: the British public are genuinely much nicer and more decent than either our political or media class are themselves, or would have you believe.

labour has made immigrants, the lgbt+ community, disabled ppl, and progressives who were willing to 'vote for the lesser evil' their enemy.

labour have spent years now deliberately targeting all of us. there is no lesson here. no change that can be made that will save the labour party. it's done.

a sombre morning for british columnists as they move their "The electorate has spoken, we must listen" articles to the recycling bin and upload their "the greens victory shows just how far the west has fallen" articles instead

bsky.app/profile/davi... David's recent writing on this is excellent but somewhat harrowing; 100% recommend

something abled people don't get is you can have just one day a week where you are too sick to work, and that's enough to disqualify you from nearly all full-time jobs. it doesn't take a lot

You, an individual, cannot "fix" the whole world. You can act at the scale of your life. You should act at the scale of your life.

windows pcs are generally for casual users who mostly use it for web browsing and maybe a little gaming. linux is nearly identical except there's no keyboard. macs are for hardcore experts and professionals who take on the toughest tasks, such as drawing three-dimensional rectangles and squares

really excellent thread

Buddy the left position is no borders. Open borders is moderate.

transition is a choice that anyone can make for any reason, and if I do it because of the Latent Transsexual Genes Lurking In My Head and some other bitch does it because she wants to attract lesbian librarians by bending over in a pencil skirt by the periodicals we are both right to choose it

my politics

Saying no to good ideas The hardest no isn't to a bad idea. It's to a good one, and it's one of the most important choices you make
