Look at that. Spitting in the face of the numinous. And I don’t mean my millennial-ass ankle socks.

Funnily enough, that’s on my list to look at. I’d love another author too, but the budget gods may not be smiling.

I’d have liked a little more hollandaise, but these were otherwise perfect.

I like to blame The Lean Startup for the shift from sustainable business thinking to graph-go-up thinking, but: a) it started earlier, and b) like Friedman all Ries really did was write down what the assholes wanted to do anyway, in a way they could point to as permission.

I mean, I know it’s not that simple (some of them got rich off Google and Facebook), and we gained some stuff along the way (online discoverability is brilliant), but we’d probably have just as much cool tech (streaming, e-commerce, infrastructure) if we’d left it to the pornographers.

Looks like about 25 from the ~2k sample. Which is a bit over the failure rate we see when we run clickable image tests, basically as a mix of user error and JavaScript brainfarts. But yes, also a degree of unseriousness. I’d love to see the respondent-level data for the whole survey

I've also got the Cool Crab Pride Flag in there, of course. That flag is up on the wall of my living room.

Nobody seemed that drunk or rowdy either, although granted it was still early.

Possibly the biggest contrast with London pride was that people seemed to be taking their litter home with them. London after pride has a whole geological stratum of Prosecco bottles and gin and tonic cans. Edinburgh looked like the cleanup would take about ten minutes. Bravo.

There was also a guy in the parade carrying a beautiful but extremely nonplussed mottled grey Maine coon, which was certainly a bold choice given the weather forecast. And crowd. And entire disposition of cats.

Everyone brought their protest sign A-game, too.

Edinburgh pride was great - felt far more grassroots and non-corporate than London (although that does mean you miss out on the floats with sound systems), very lightly policed, warm atmosphere, and a thumping theme of standing up for trans rights.

Off to Edinburgh pride.

This quiche specifically.
It slaps harder than Miss Piggy kicking off at a hen night.
