One of my favourite bits that I got from my friend Danny Mac is when someone tells you you’re remembering something wrong is to go “ah, the Desmond Tutu effect”

I love his point about the joke, I do that on the regular and never thought about it that way
Some of his Q&As sound vaguely familiar, but before today I don't think the name Isaac Chotiner would have rung any bells for me. The torrent of posts today led me to read some of this.

It’s amazing how many public intellectuals think that Chotiner reading what they wrote and asking follow up questions is a “gotcha interview”

This is a very interesting set of insights into Chotiner's thought process and approach

My mum ordered a new freezer from AO and when the delivery van came, it did not have a tail lift - apparently the company won't pay for them
The two guys were expected to lift freezers, washing machines etc off the back of the van themselves...which does not seem safe
This guy can GTFO

There's an advert on his website for a 'Depot Supervisor' that pays £12.75 an hour for shift work.
If he wants to reduce welfare spending maybe he should pay staff enough that they don't need in-work benefits.

I guess I now have to do a thread on shoes in ancient Mesopotamia in response to this (which happens to be from one of my favourite accounts).
I’m not an archaeologist, nor do I really know anything about shoes, but let’s go on this journey together.

That would be a good t-shirt: "PuffinQuest 2025" logo on the front with a cute puffin logo, and on the back "Have you found the missing puffins?" with the telephone number of your worst enemy.

The news was saying there's fewer puffins on the Farne Islands and I'm so sleepy I was like "what the fuck am I supposed to do about this" and I have been enjoying the idea of needing to go find some missing puffins

Everyday you wake up and the news is even worse, but don't worry because today there's going to be a budget today at some point, so there will be an extra round of bad news at around lunch time.
You will forget the morning's bad news.
Except the jury thing. Fucking hell, the jury thing.
