So far no labour saving device in the history of humanity has resulted in a long-term reduction in employment.

Here's today's Did You Notice? video and it's all about how Brighton broke some of the unwritten rules about modern pressing in their win against Arsenal.

Being a computer scientist who refuses to find anything about LLMs interesting right now is a bit like being a geneticist who refuses to find anything interesting about the recently opened Jurassic Park

When my book comes out, it’ll be up against Captain underpants and every manga. Preordering my book helps me make the best seller list. I’m in it for the glory

There should be a genre of board game that you play directly out of the box, and at any moment you can close the lid and put it away and open it up later to keep playing (Then it has to be simple enough for the play and storage to all fit in the box, but complicated enough to be worth returning to)

I wanted England to win obvs but couldn’t get emotionally invested in this tournament the way I have been in the past. The last few years of Arsenal has fatigued me mentally/emotionally + all the inhumane & other political stuff around the last two hosts has been a massive turn off FIFA too.

A Norway fan has gone viral for not taking part in their Row celebration after matches and won't do it if they win the World Cup "It’s factually wrong; they didn’t row, they sailed over the Atlantic”

When I say that modularity & composability are now crucial as large, coupled codebases consume more context, I see raised eyebrows. Meanwhile, they are constantly running out of tokens while I haven't hit a usage limit in months. If you think architecture no longer matters, joke’s on you.

mad how the defining cultural image of Steamboat Willie is Mickey whistling and driving the boat, and not the bit where he plays a pig's nipples as a musical instrument while it shrieks in pain

They clearly decided on 116 instead of 115 to avoid all the obvious gags.

The UK is getting through Prime Ministers like Chelsea get through managers. At some point each of us will have a turn at one or the other.

So i arrived in Bucharest late last night, beautiful. flight was surprisingly dirt cheap & half empty. City was really quiet i assumed due to the time but it's quiet again today. Haven't seen a single Arsenal shirt yet. Maybe everyone arriving later? Haven't found fan park, map looks very different

Helping a colleague with poor bandwidth deal with some client files and found myself messaging: "I’m just unzipping it. It’s huge. Where do you want me to put it?” I hope HR don't randomly check on our messages

Dear Arsenal. Turn the fucking volume down. It's how I imagine Guantanamo Bay is for torture victims in the stadium before games.

Ever wondered why Butlins had redcoats and Pontins had bluecoats? Back in the post-war boom years, Billy Butlin and Fred Pontin's rivalry wasn't restricted to holiday camps. Billy was an Arsenal fan whilst Fred supported Tottenham.

Looking to connect with parents of children with challenging behaviours (PDA, physical aggression) who have managed to successfully find people to babysit or otherwise help with childcare, e.g watch one kid at home while you take the other out. How did you find them? How did it work initially? 🙏

Vaping has taken us back a couple of decades. People openly sucking on their cancerous pipes in the stadium, in restaurants, pubs on public transport. And the people doing it are just as obnoxious and entitled when you confront them.

My son is 11,autistic, and obsessed with Minecraft. I manage a team of 4 Database Engineers. At some point I started to talk to them like how the parenting courses told me to communicate with my son and the team morale and overall performance has shot up so much we got an award

Apparently, your computer has a built-in cowbell. You’ll need to turn the sound on to hear what I’m talking about.

I for one can't understand why repeated slaps on the wrist don't stop teams like Chelsea from breaking the rules. 🤦‍♂️

Chelsea have been handed a suspended one-year ban from signing first-team players and given a £10m ($13.7m; €11.6m) fine from the Premier League relating to alleged breaches of financial rules during Roman Abramovich’s time as owner. @david-ornstein.bsky.social and @liamtwomey.bsky.social
