It’s a real shame that Nigel Farage is too unwell to do interviews the morning after Donald Trump threatens us with sanctions.
Here he is with “the bravest man he ever met”. He campaigned to make Trump President, and has spent the last year enjoying all the chaos he has caused.

Compression is Witchcraft
I had a mild fascination with data compression when I was learning my way around a PC. Especially lossless compression, as commonly used in file archivers.

I now have no doubt that Nigel said and did those things. But this article didn't convince me, it merely solidified things.
Nigel Farage is who convinced me. Even in the 80s you didn't make jokes about gas chambers. Those comments were always meant to hurt.

We're celebrating Chinese New Year a day early at work today (core days for the win!).
They've given us scratch-off fortune cards. Mine says "A delightful surprise is just around the bend."

My friend: The problem with Bimber's Shoulders of Giants series is that there's not enough women in it. They should do an Emmeline Pankhurst one...
Me: They have. It's chained itself to the washbacks and they can't shift it...
