Old man yelling at the data clouds.

I don't know if this will be an unpopular opinion but I'm going to say it anyway.

Why the hell have all the greats of #CyberPunk stopped writing CyberPunk?

Where are the Bruce Sterlings, the early Neal Stephensons (Cryptonomicon, Diamond Age, Snow Crash) and of course the star of our firmament - William Gibson?!? (I know he's still writing but damn it, write more, faster!)

How dare they let the genre die before we do?

Two days in a row someone on my street using a leaf blower to move the winter salt/sand on the street in front of their homes. Huge dust cloud to walk near. Ptooey!

@dymaxion @rafi0t @whvholst @th we should not say that ella, that would be silly #harumph

Why does Fi default to notifying me about data usage? I have unlimited data; the whole point of which is not to have to care about my data usage.
This is the same vibes as those toxic companies with "unlimited PTO," that then give you the side-eye when you try to use your PTO.

Hot take: ChatGPT is the latest in oracular divination and is equally accurate. #Harumph

Fatima Ibrahim's #GreenNewDealRising is a very good thing, but this old cynic would like to see evidence of substantial youth interest in #GreenPolitics.

It's all very well for #GenZ to moan about #GenX and #Boomers like me, but it would be nice to see them turn away from their sodding smartphones, and get out there to vote and organise on a mass scale. If they did, there would be no #Tory party, and maybe #Labour wouldn't be so fucking useless.
