Always thought I was the most law abiding person until I attended a recent webinar in work. It was about "time theft" & how doing anything other than work tasks in work time is stealing from the company. Based on my daily routine I feel like Al Capone

The sun, the rain, and being loved by God. Oh, and a game of noughts-and-crosses that I can't lose.

A Facebook post unearthed a legend: the lost MingKwai typewriter, designed by Lin Yutang in 1947, resurfaced in a NY basement. Hailed as a marvel yet dismissed as a failure, its rediscovery revives debates over innovation, identity, and what it means to be Chinese, writes @yangyangcheng.bsky.social.

Hoping that Labour are thinking “We’ve neglected our base in pursuit of voters who will never love us, we need to reinvigorate a progressive agenda” while realising they’re almost certainly actually thinking “oh noes they voted for farage we better kick the transes some more and do lots of racisms”

Cats woke me up at 4am. It's now five minutes before I have to get up so I am, of course, finally feeling sleepy again.

A trans woman wrote to Wetherspoons to ask which toilets they're meant to use. Wetherspoons replied acknowledging the Supreme Court's verdict...and that trans customers can use whichever loos they want to but to please lock the cubicle door. Labour now being outflanked on the left by Wetherspoons.

Well, I WAS very much looking forward to @histfest.bsky.social but I can't find out how to watch it. Email with the tickets says the link is on the tickets. The tickets say to show them at the door (despite being clearly labelled online), and British Library only answers Mon-Fri.

I've been a network engineer for more than quarter of a century. It still takes me two tries to type 'ping' because I always type 'pint' first.

It's @histfest.bsky.social this weekend, and I cannot wait. A weekend of doing cross-stitch and watching history talks. Bliss.

As a cynical, apathetic teenager I mocked the very optimistic and bubbly girl that I knew, feeling that I was superior in my knowledge of how shitty and ruthless the world was and the atrocities it holds. Now I see that we need more people like her and less like me. Sorry Izzy.

This is kind of important: he is saying the law allows you to be a bigot, but it doesn't require you to be. Anyone, including the government, who chooses, say, to stop trans women using female toilets is doing so because they want to, not because they are forced to.

Oh, no. I went into the supermarket for some chicken, walked past the half-price Easter eggs, and a whole load of them just FELL into my trolley!

Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies. Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.

Worth remembering that whatever Pope we get next will almost certainly be a reversion to conservative Catholicism. Cardinals won't make the same mistake again.
