Jokes, nonsense and imagination. #DnD #TTRPG.

Some of my views may be shared by my employer, but I doubt it.

Highly mutable.

Twitter down; productivity up 37%
it has been 0 days since a billionaire imploded under extreme pressure
if I wanted to rate-limit myself to reading 300 posts a day, I'd go and read the graffitti on the toilet walls
imagine paying $80 billion to single-handedly nuke your reputation as a business genius

imagine trying to sell advertising on a website where you are actively limiting users to 600 views a day.

Don't say:

You are in a room. A Gambler is talking.

Do say:

On a warm summer's evening
On a train bound for nowhere
I met up with The Gambler
We were both too tired to sleep
So we took turns a-starin'
Out the window at the darkness
The boredom overtook us
And he began to speak.

I am part of the UK University Strike today. #UCU #UCUstrike

We are striking for secure contracts for precariously-employed young academics; an end to pension cuts; and a pay rise that keeps up with inflation.

My plan for today is:

- 3 lectures
- 2 tutorials
- 1 PhD meeting
- 1/2 a football match #EngIra

Go to mum's, kill Phil, grab Liz, go to the Winchester, have a nice cold pint, and wait for all of this to blow over.

How's that for a slice of fried gold?
