Thinking man’s Triga. Not gay as in happy, but queer as in fuck you.

Expect kinkiness, geekiness, irreverence, interjections, hyperbole, litotes, inanity, and lust.

I’ve […]

The parable of the Emperor with no clothes wasn’t an indictment of the Emperor, the child, or even the swindler who sold the Emperor sweet fuck all.

It was an indictment of the Emperor’s court who didn’t call out his bullshit.

The more I think on the #ukpol push to ban under-16s from social media I think that I’m convinced problem is “the algorithm”.

I had access to porn at a very young age, but it wasn’t foisted upon me (barring the odd goatse link) in a continual scroll situation. When you finished reading your […]

I was going to go to Barry’s but they have no hot water and absolutely not. I will not do HIIT for an hour and be faced with a Sophie’s Choice of sweaty & gross tram ride or a cold shower.

I want a sovereign payment system where electronic payments can’t be derailed by the United States, its puritan payment processors, or its sanction régime.
Extremely cool concept from #wero: use the #dma to role out a alternative contactless payment solution based on Wero instant SEPA transfers, with fallback to card payments for incompatible terminals.

An entirely independent, European payment solution.

My Ōura ring tracked my 2 hour talk about RDF representation of 6 different data types as Housework, tagging the session as metabolic benefit.

I guess I talk with my hands. 🫠

Club DJs are like "goddamn, I cropped that sample perfectly. I'm going to play it on a loop for 3 minutes as an intro to my tenuous remix of a classic pop song so people can marvel at my skillz."

I have unsubscribed from every Confluence email available to unsubscribe from, but I still got a fucking 2025 Recap email.

Die Atlassian, die.

Signing support tickets off with “Faithfully,” when telling the users PEBKAC with the politest, patient, and precise explanation on how to fix their issues.

The horrible realization that actually changing email addresses and not just starting a new place to collect email is hella hard.

I’ve had my Gmail since it was invite only. I make a tepid prank call from a payphone to a stranger on behest of another stranger to get it many years ago.

Passkeys and physical security keys are still dog shit. Corporate IT also are making them intentionally shit too.

Why won’t the LCD-target from Corporate Infosec have a “knows what they’re doing, they have strong opinions about toe socks” exemption from some of their most stupid processes?

Help! My role is going very strategic very quickly. I’m thrilled but I’m slowly going to have to say goodbye to a lot of hands on work.

The bit of Ghosts of Tsushima when lovable inept rogue sake merchant, Kenji, convinces our hero Jin to hide in a sake barrel to discover where raided foods go, the detailed quips are great.

Jin, as he is getting into the barrel: “this barrel smells like your breath.”
Kenji “it didn’t empty […]

Anyone have any tips on filing a delay repay appeal with XC? They rejected my claim because they think I wanted to take the journey I put into their systems. The second of four trains was theirs and +22 which made me miss my connection, which added 53 minutes to my journey.

I filled in the text […]

As Warrington slowly subsumes all lands west and south of Greater Manchester, the newly created Senedd of Warrington debates the official languages of Warrington.

Proposals include Welsh, Cornish, and English. Tempers flare when the Warrington (Funchal) delegation arrive […]

No, you have a template to send to iOS app support teams asking them to adopt the EventKitUI framework minimizing calendar access permissions, asking for them to permit me to grant write-only access to their application.
