TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".

We should put together a list of books you can buy this Christmas from authors who were robbed and had their careers sabotaged* by Unbound.

The best way to deal with stubbornly tangled strings of Christmas lights is to soak them for several hours in tears of rage and frustration, then buy new ones.

I know I have some people in the music industry following me. This is a great idea. A live aid type of concert benefitting Gaza on the same night that Eurovision airs, with hopefully all countries who are boycotting Eurovision participating here
I could see the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign trying to organise something like that in Ireland. It would be great if we could do something jointly with the other countries that are also boycotting. I see Zoe Lawlor sometimes - chair of the IPSC - so will sound her out.

All of the companies that make the software I use are increasing their prices, to account for an "investment" in AI.
I'm sat here imagining how my clients would feel if I added 30% to each invoice, because I "really got into gambling".
