Well, I did it. Here is the finished product ustdoes.tech/posts/strate...

Inspired by the wonderfully shot film: Conclave, I have just drafted a blog post exploring the parallels between Catholicism and Scrum. I have no regrets.

I’m glad they’ve brought back general scare tactics in Alien Romulus. The last 20 minutes were intense! Not sure I’m going to be able to sleep tonight.

Thunderbolts* is a lot of fun (in spite of the thematic subject). Marvel is back on form.

EuroDab FTW! #eurovision

Is this the #eurovision that has had the most French sung? Luxembourg, Netherlands, Switzerland, France.

France following Waterloo… bit harsh #eurovision

“A loser nation” - is that what’s been sung by Denmark? #eurovision

He’s no beyonce #eurovision

Which country do we want to bankrupt? We should vote for that country #eurovision

"Did you see the lassie dressed as a dominatrix at Eurovision?" "Finnish?" "No but it was quite exciting."

I like this Italian entry. But it is definitely a contrast to Finland.

Finland is SO Eurovision!

The banning of pride flags has made this Eurovision dull as fuck. Bring back pride flags!

Supporting Palace in the City end was over 100 minutes of pure adrenaline!! History made -glad all over! Grateful for the spare ticket provided by my City supporting friend. Now to make it back to SE25 with all the City merch I’ve been given…

Be proud. Proud of whom you love. Proud of who you are. Proud of who you are becoming. Because your journey is your power. Always remember: Europe is your ally. I am your ally. This week and every week. Be proud. Always.

The Russian accents in A Working Man are so dubious they’re Afrikaaner accents. Doesn’t stop it from being an enjoyable romp. Taken but Jason Statham instead of Liam Neeson. Can’t wait for the sequels.

Urgh - you have to take laptops out of bags at the Eurostar now. It’s so antiquated

FA Cup and Eurovision finals day - a day for everyone.

I mean, Tulip Mania rejected the hypothesis just 300 years before the hypothesis was published.

UK column on the 'impossibility' of enforcing quiet carriage rules. Having travelled on French trains I can assure you it absolutely isn't. SNCF has 3 simple rules; - phones on silent - use headphones to watch/listen to anything - go into the vestibule to make/receive a call. Easy!

My mobile phone provider has provided me with free access to Mistral’s Le Chat and I quite like it. It’s faster than both Claude and ChatGPT and seems to perform as well. And now I’m creating my own MCP so I don’t have to switch between all the services. This is now an addiction.

What is Truth? In which I challenge the orthodoxy of a single source of truth. ustdoes.tech/posts/strate...

If you, a non-Catholic, take offence at something the Pope, a Catholic, said to and about other Catholics then you might be experiencing what we call guilt.

Can’t have a Negroni without the children thinking it’s grenadine

This is so good! I use GenAI and there is truth in all the points Marie makes. Read it and rethink what you’re doing and why you’re doing it.

The French education system is cooked. Little O is insisting that Nutella on saucisson sec is normal. And all his friends are eat it for breakfast.

Not another Leo! When will the world see another Pope Hilarious?

New Pope time!!

“Why can’t you sleep? What’s worrying you?” Asks my wife. This, dear reader. This existential crisis we find ourselves in. This is what’s worrying me.
