Setting aside the obvious AI talking points, why would someone want to go see this?

It’s void of any environmental, societal or religious context. I’d feel nothing looking at this.
Nothing is real anymore 😢

The fact a cause like this has to exist is absurd.

We associate names according to their function. It’s equivalent to claiming plastic chairs aren’t really chairs because they’re not made of wood like they historically have been.

Push back against animal food manufacturers policing language!
EU politicians will decide on Wednesday whether to go ahead with the ban on words like burger and sausage for plant-based foods.

That means we have one last chance to show how unpopular – and absurd – this policy is.

It's December 1st, which means that throughout the entire month you should reserve 5-10 minutes every day to read a fantastic article about HTML. ❤️‍🔥

I’m on the fence as to what language to try for this year’s Advent of Code 🤦🏻‍♂️

A bit of a vulnerable post by me but we need your help to get us through what has been a more difficult period than 2020.

It would be really appreciated if you could read and share in your networks too 💛

It’s been a very hard year - Andy Bell
Unlike a lot of places in tech, my company, Set Studio/Piccalilli has no outside funding. Bootstrapped is what the LinkedIn people say, I think. It’s been a hard year this year. A very hard year...

🚨 BREAKING: Kent County Council is hurtling towards financial oblivion under Reform.

A shocking new council report reveals a projected budget black hole of £46.5 million for this year. The Reform Administration has completely lost control of our finances. 🔶

This is exactly what I feared would happen. I dread to think how many will follow.

I’ve just experienced my first foray into developing games with Godot and I really enjoyed it.

I’m excited to continue playing around with it 👨🏻‍💻

If it’s not important enough for you to create it’s not important enough to make me look at it.

I’m finding the take of “If we all learn to use AI effectively, we’ll be able to counteract the loss of critical thinking that’s associated with using it” to be deeply ignorant.

Our history repeatedly tells us that we’re genetically wired to take the path of least resistance for ourselves.

I like Corbyn and Sultana. They’re ethically sound and have a real passion for the change the lower/middle classes want to see.

However, this project ain’t it. It’ll continue to struggle shaking off its initial woes and it’ll struggle to appeal to a younger demographic (as can be seen here).
Liverpool ➡️ Birkenhead ➡️ Manchester ➡️ Hastings ➡️ A city or town near you!

We’ve been travelling up and down the country to build a new kind of political party — one that is built from the grassroots.

Zack Polanski has what Mamdani has and Corbyn hasn't: the ability to turn the hysterical attacks of his enemies into jokes. That's temperamental but also probably generational

Working my way through "Elixir in Action" by Saša Jurić. I'm thoroughly enjoying the book and the language thus far.
